Void Origin

Thunder-Fire Demon Cave.

The heavenly lightning and earthly fire that had endured for countless years vanished. The demonic cultivators howled like ghosts and wailed like wolves, discussing where to find a new haven for their cultivation. Little did they know that the Abyss's former Devil Master had returned. A sword case hovered horizontally amid the gradually dissipating black mist.

A woman in a black, cutout court dress sat on the sword case, her dark hair cascading like a waterfall. Her long legs, exposed through the slit in her skirt, were crossed, and a trace of melancholy surfaced on her lovely face.

"Bastard."

Fang Linglong cursed softly, a little more helplessness entering her eyes.

She had followed Li Yaozu for hundreds of years. This time, he seemed to be heading to some secret place belonging to the Azure Cloud Li Family, and after reaching the Abyss, he had disappeared without a trace. The Li Yaozu she knew would share many things weighing on his heart: how his siblings were doing, how his two children were doing. He would even speak a little about his ancestor, but he never told her the Azure Cloud Li Family's core secrets.

Li Yaozu was a strange man. He was no block of wood; he had a keen understanding of people and a quick mind, able to see through another person's joys and sorrows at a glance. Otherwise, he would never have become the "Sword Human" the Mortal World Immortal spoke of. Yet no matter how many years Fang Linglong spent with him, she always felt that he was an ice-cold sword.

But he seemed forever unable to relinquish the vigilance in his heart, keeping everyone at a certain distance.

Abandoned in the Abyss, Fang Linglong felt furious, yet a hint of pity for Li Yaozu
