While Heavenly Court and the people of Chen Capital were vigorously preparing defenses against Li Qianqiu, the daily life of the Human Clan remained undisturbed, still tranquil and fulfilling.
Near the Wei River in the Northern Continent, there lay a mountain.
Clustered peaks of this mountain pierced through the clouds, and its summit was shrouded in mist all year round. Every day, as the sun rose in the east, breaking through the mist to shine upon the peaks, flames crimson as blood would soar skyward. Hence, this mountain was named Lie Mountain.
At the base of Lie Mountain, there was a medium-sized tribe called Jiang Clan. The people of the tribe were simple and kind-hearted. They hunted at sunrise and returned at sunset. Although the Clan Leader had pledged allegiance to the Sovereign, the tribe remained in the Northern Continent.
In this tribe, there was a woman named Nu Deng. Though not exceptionally beautiful, she had a kind heart, pure as a blooming lotus.
