Xiezuò the leader of Emó clan also possessing serious demonic powers with him as well but now he was now crying helplessly, Nùlíng was feeling strange but also sad for his leader because he saw how his leader was supposed to use his demonic powers and took over everything and anything he and his clan wanted but now he and his clan are just helpless. Nùlíng can't do anything but to console his leader.
"Leader Xiezuò, please don't cry. I know you are sad and frustrated but trust me everything is going to be just like before. You reign again also you will kill those two bastards, Shou and Zi Chen."
Xiezuò looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"It is not easy Nùlíng... it is not easy! That so called Master Zi Chen has put a spell on us. He weakened our powers when we lost the battle of Shengtian. I still remember..... how close we were from capturing the the Iron Lotus castle but after we marched to Shengtian and Emperor Shou and his army somehow got aware. They arrived at the Shengtian for a battle. I remember Shou newly became the Emperor of Iron Lotus Dynasty and he was very young at that time. Me and my elder brother Mò Lìngshā were fighting Emperor Shou and his army."
Xiezuò was remembering the battle he had alongside with his brother against Emperor Shou in Shengtian, Xiezuò was emotional and deeply hurt, his voice was cracking and from his tone Nùlíng could feel how much in pain he was, and emotionally disturbed.
Xiezuò stood up from his chair and looked the moon outside of the window and continued narrating the story.
"My brother Mò Lingshā was fighting against Emperor Shou and I was dealing with his soldiers. I was seeing my brother fighting bravely against him... he made Shou sweat and bleed at the same time."
Nùlíng was carefully listening to Xiezuò. Xiezuò closed his eyes and remembered the scenario where his brother fought Emperor Shou.
"My brother was a brave warrior..... but that bastard Shou was very lucky on that day. My brother could have defeated him but.... BUT....."
Xiezuò stopped narrating, Nùlíng was curious to know what actually happened with his brother and how he lost to Emperor Shou.
"Then..... what happened to Lord Mò Lingshā, Leader?"
Xiezuò took a deep sigh and sadly narrated the scenario.
"My brother was fighting, he made Shou suffer but Shou was very smart. My brother was going slit his head off with his sword... but despite being so tired, Shou luckily dodged the sword, he ducked the sword of my brother and he slided his sword across my brother's knee. Then he got up and swung his sword across my brother's arm, that made my brother drop his sword. At that moment I knew.... my brother was in danger. I pulled my archer and launched a firing arrow at him. The arrow went straight into side of his arm, this got my brother to buy some for picking up his sword."
Xiezuò was narrating the story, he slowly walked towards a table over which something was kept but it was hided by a dark cloth, looking at it closely.
"After my brother picked up the sword he then never stopped, he beaten Shou who was struggling with the arrow which I launched, my brother made him knelt on his knees. At that time I thought me and my brother had Shou I knew my brother will now kill him and will win this battle because Shou was weakened. My kept his sword onto his neck and wanted slit off his head with his sword. He lifted his sword up to severe his head with a single strike..... he strike the sword onto to him but... but AGAIN....."
Xiezuò wiped off his tears and took a deep breath.
"Again what leader.....?"
"Again Shou was quick and smart. I don't what was mist or dust thing which he pulled out and thrown onto my brother brother's face..... and after that my brother started screaming and yelling in pain, he covered his because the effects of that dusty mist. This caused his face to burn, the moment he removed his hands from his face his face turned completely red, his cheeks started to burn and his eyes were turning red. My brother was unable to fight after that cowardly attack by Shou. He was on his knees struggling..... helpless... and then Shou lifted his sword..... swung..... and..... and slit off my brother's head."
Xiezuò broke down in tears, his voice cracked after narrating the story. He pulled off the cloth and it was big transparent flask inside which his brother's head was kept. Nùlíng was startled after seeing the head of Mò Lingshā, he was completely during the moment because he couldn't assess that Xiezuò has still kept his brother's head.
Nùlíng kept his hand on Xiezuò's shoulder and tried to console him despite he was himself in a state of shock. It made Xiezuò feel little better then he started narrating later what happened.
"My brother's body.... his body was dissolved into ashes before I could even reach. All left was his head, I couldn't even hold my brother in my arms and bid him farewell. I was in rage, I was standing infront of Shou and I decided that I will end his life despite I lost the battle but then suddenly out of nowhere, that coward Master of theirs, hiding behind the seals and prayers came out and used his dirty spell on me and our army. He took our spirits and our powers away from us and trapped it inside a vial of his something. He weakened us he wanted to arrest all of us.... but somehow I managed to use my spells despite being weak and made us to dissappear from the battleground. After that we are living in this mountain for years hiding from everyone..... hiding from those who we enslaved for years..."
Xiezuò looked to his brother's head with tears in his eyes, he gently put his hand on the surface of the flask.
"My brother I am sorry..... I couldn't save you at that moment..... I wish it could have been me instead.... I believe that you could have conquered the Iron Lotus Dynasty and made us proud and made our legacy immortal.
Xiezuò put his head onto the side of the table and started crying, side of his brother's head. Nùlíng was still consoling Xiezuò.
"Please leader..... do not cry..... do not lose hope..... I believe that one day you will conquer the Iron Lotus Dynasty... you have many things settle with Shou and Zi Chen."
Xiezuò then stopped crying and looked at his brother's head with seriousness. His eyes were in rage and anger.
"Yes..... you said it right Nùlíng..... I have a some things to settle with Shou and Zi Chen."
Suddenly a bat broke into his room, this caught both Xiezuò's and Nùlíng's attention. The bat came infront of him and suddenly there was explosion, there black mist here and there.... and behind those black mist there was a lady wearing dark black gown standing infront of Xiezuò and Nùlíng.
