At the edge of the Wanling Mountain Range, there lies a small, distinctly lower black canyon compared to the surrounding mountains.
The entrance of the valley is perennially covered by dense, swirling black fog. From a high-altitude view, one would notice that these fogs resemble a black vortex capable of devouring sunlight, casting the entire canyon below into exceptional darkness.
At this sunless valley, a black-robed young man toted a blood-illuminated token and walked slowly on the mountain path, often peering around.
This man was Liu Ming, who was preparing to enter the Path of Malevolent Spirits seeking an opportunity for advancement.
Just as he reached a very secluded peak at the base of the canyon, he halted slightly, struck by what he saw in front of him. Not far from a huge boulder, there suddenly appeared two graceful figures, one in purple and one in blue.
