章 429: Chapter 425: The General Falls!

The grand strategy of Xuanhuang was not just a matter of a few years of plotting. It began when that old Taoist priest sundered the fate of heaven and earth with a single sword strike, rendering mortals no longer able to ascend to immortality. It started when martial artists, unable to accept this fate, began to scheme. Even so, this matter did not begin with the martial artists, but with the imperial court!

Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the land and sought immortality to extend his sovereign reign for all eternity. He sent the Taoist priest Xu Fu to the Penglai Fairy Mountain in the East Sea in search of the Immortality Medicine. However, by that time, the immortals were gone, and the so-called long-life method was to become a Demonic Devil that fed on blood—a Zombie. Emperor Qin did not want to become a monster, and since the Exorcising Dragon Clan was already tasked with eliminating zombies during that era, it would've been a grave sin for an emperor to turn into a zombie.
