Inside the dream Lory grimace watching the gory scened, that man chopping and screaming at the same time he didn't care his robes were soaked with blood he didn't realizes the old man already become minced meat, suddenly something happened to his white sword, gradually the color changed from the tip of the sword then run to the end of the sword handle everything become utterly black.

"WEI HAN!!"

He suddenly stops, his hand stop in the mid-air then he slowly turns around with blank expression. Lory also looks behind her a young man with green leaf robes stands in the middle pool of blood he was shocked beyond belief.

"What…what happening?" he was distraught by his family corpses.

The man smiles warmly "Hu Nan, you here?" he sounds genuinely glad.

The man called Hu Nan to take one step back, he wonders if the man in front of him is his cousin or a demon? Blood dripping from his hand and robes even his face is smear by blood and yet he still wears the same gentle smiles like he used to.

"Wei Han….are you really Wei Han?" his voice trembles, he notices the black sword on his cousin's hand and she becomes suspicious, that man is a Demon who pretends to be his cousin.

"Silly cousin, it's me…you don't recognize me?" he chuckles while opening his arms widely, but that's only scared Hu Nan even more.

"Wei Han…..what have you done?" his back drenched with cold sweat, his hand shiver profusely the man who stands in front of him cannot be his cousin, this Demon cannot be his gentle and loving cousin.

"You know, next week is your sister-in-law birthday!" he said cheerfully "Your sister-in-law is heavily pregnant now so she can't move around too much..." suddenly he becomes quiet, his face turns grim "No…she can't move, she can't move again…..my son…my little son….they died" he muttered.

Hu Nan feel the lightning struck him, he hears about his father and the elder said they want to make Wei Han come home without his power and the white sword this family slowly declining, all their enemy ha their eyes on them waiting in dark for the opportunity to kill them, that's why they become desperate, he heard they said they wish Wei Han wife didn't exist if only she died but he thought that only empty talks are they do it? did they kill Wei Han wife and child?

"Wei Han, what happened with sister-in-law?" he nervously asked.

"My wife…..my wife, my dear wife" he starts to weep, his cry become louder then he laughs with eerie sounds by then Hu Nan realize what had happened, his family killed Wei Han family and it drives him crazy, Hu Nan downcast he blames his family and he grieves for Wei Han and his family.

"Where is she?" Wei Han mutter "Where's my wife?"

"Wei Han…" Hu Nan chocked by his owned tears, he can't watch his good cousin become like this.

"You killed my wife, is you isn't it!" he roared at Hu Nan he swings his sword towards him, Hu nan had no choice to raised his sword to block his violent assault, the two metal collide echoed in the air.

"Wait, Wei Han is not me!" he dodged Wei Han swift thrust "Wei Han, you know I never come home for three years since I know my Father wanted to hurt you and sister-in-law!"

Unfortunately, Wei Han had lost his mind he can't hear anything, he only feel raged and sorrow, he keeps charging on Hu Nan he didn't even notice his body is cover with deep wound, the blood keeps dripping from his body and the flesh on his chest torn apart because of his quick move.

"Wei Han is me, remember?" Hu Nan tries to jog his memory, he believed his cousins still there "Remember you invite me for dinner last year to celebrate the moon festival? It was me...please Xiao Han, I don't want to hurt you" he begged desperately.

Alas, Wei Han didn't stop, he lash out his anger toward Hu Nan who desperately dodged from his massive attack, he didn't want to hurt his gentle cousin, Hui Nan cursed his family at the same time he mourn for the innocent one in his family, he blames himself for not look deeper and didn't try harder to stop them.

Wei Han lost in frenzies and the darkness around the sword is getting thicker, she can see black fog surrounding Wei Han and it drives him crazy even more, Lory heart beating like a drum the black fog spread like wildfire she takes a few steps back but the fog seems to grow tentacles it tangle on her feet, Lory fall on the ground while the darkness slowly reach her.

Meanwhile, Hu Nan jumps to the side before the black sword thrust stabs his chest, his heart aching watching his once kind gentle cousin drowning in madness, for a second Hui Nan lost his focus, Wei Han swings his sword harder enough to twitch Hui nan wrist and the sword fall of his hand.

Wei Han Kick him to the ground, his body hit the hard surface make him grunt in pained but before he can stand Wei Han jump on him his kneel press Hui Nan chest back on the ground, Wei Han raised his sword ready to pierce Hui Nan chest but suddenly something fall on Hui Nan chest.

Hui Nan face brighten up "Yes, brother is me, do you recognize me now!" he didn't care what Wei Han is done for all he knows everyone is guilty, everyone is responsible for everything, he will help him to repent if he wanted to because now they only have each other.

Wei Han moves his kneel off from Hui Nan, he staggered backward he bewildered how much blood on his hand and clothes, he can smell blood everywhere, why there's so much blood? What had he done? Slowly the hazy memory rush back on him he realizes he is not just killed peoples who murder his family but he also killed his innocent in-law and their child, Wei Han cries while holding his head.

"Brother Han…." Hui Nan watches him in worry.

Suddenly Wei Han screams again, Hui Nan become vigilant, Wei Han launch heavy punch On Hui Nan chest he caught off guard without have time to blocked Wei Han quick movement, he rolls back on the ground his body bounced in a hard surface, Wei Han seize the black sword from the ground, in a high speed he aims his sword to Hui Nan.

"Bro…..Brother Han" he quickly holds Wei Han shoulders in distressed "I'm…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"

Wei Han smiles weakly "It's fine…..you've…become stronger…little brother"

"No, wait! I…I could help you…..I have this pill…." He painstakingly holds Wei Han body and tries to take out the medicine from his sleeve, Hui Nan is overwrought to much his hand trembles strongly.

"No…" Wei Han holds his trembles hand "It's…to late….for me…and my soul" he glances at the black sword on his hand, he squeezes his grasp on the sword handle "I have tainted the holly sword…..I need to calm him down" he pulls the hairpin from his chest.

"Bury me with the sword…..and this….hairpin…this is the only way to calmed him down until…..until she came…." He shifts his gaze at Lory, he smiles at her warmly, Lory was stunned.

Hui Nan holds his lifeless brother body he screamed on the top of his lungs, Lory watching them from aside, tears roll on her face Hui Nan screams only bring the worst memory of her.

Lory look down her tears fall on the ground leaving small watermark but then another watermark fall on the ground, drip by drip the ground become darker, she looks up and the rains pour down heavily and the two brother figures slowly disappeared, the pooled blood turn dry, the beautiful wooden door slowly smugged and lost it color, ants crawling from inside the rotten door, the weeds grow between the crack floor Lory realizes the time has changed.

This is the condition of one influential clan residence become after a few hundred years, Lory let out a long sigh then a bunch of footsteps come closer, Lory frowned she wonder are Li Mo Zhen and his people had arrived but she was shocked because the one who comes is not Li Mo Zhen.

Lory never thought in million years she would saw her in this place, her soft black hair flow behind her back like a waterfall her heaven-defying beautiful face looks calm, she like a proud lotus flower, cold and beautiful at the same time, behind her more beautiful women and men waiting for her order.

[Lory, do you see what I see?] Girsha asked

[Yeah...Why Lao Min Na is here?]
