Chi Yu's Hidden Heart - Part II

That particular day changed Chi Yu's life forever. Nevertheless, in all his existence, he could not have known that the woman who had stolen his attention was a demon.

This was cleared up when he returned to the main hall and everyone looked happy, but most were concerned about the presence of the lower race, which was what their master called the demons. The demon lord was seated next to the throne of the celestial emperor. Between them, there was a peace agreement for the unification of the peoples, which for a long time prevented wars between the races. Then, Chi Yu met Ruo Lan again. She was next to the demon lord and was introduced as the princess of the demonic kingdom; she was the daughter of lord Demon from his second marriage. It was said that the demon Lord married for the first time at a very young age, but some bad tongues swear that he killed his first wife for treason; others say that she died in childbirth of the first prince of the demonic kingdom, but no one ever knew the truth. Only that Ruo Lan was the daughter of the current wife of the demon lord, a woman with slightly reddish hair who was sitting next to him and sported a radiant beauty. Chi Yu knew where all Ruo Lan's Beauty had come from. Much to his chagrin, she had a fiancé and they both looked happy. Along with them was the crown prince of the demonic kingdom who held a derisive smile and regarded the place with disdain.

- That damn race trying to take over our people! - Chi Yu heard his master roar angrily at his side and many Emei mountain disciples looked disgusted at the demons, but he could only see Ruo Lan in front of him, he was completely in love, but he also knew that his love was forbidden and totally doomed to failure. Ruo Lan was a demon and his heart sank whenever he thought about it!

His love became blood, and Ruo Lan's smile turned to tears. BaoQiao's blade pierced Ruo Lan as drops of blood dripped slowly into the snow. The last look she gave him was one of disappointment, and Chi Yu could not even face the woman he loved. The thin, whitish fingers lightly touched his face as if she wanted to feel the warmth of her lover's skin for the last time. Streaks of blood stained Chi Yu's skin when Ruo Lan finally sighed at the end of her life. He committed the greatest sin and was never able to face his conscience again. Chi Yu had killed Ruo Lan!

Chi Yu locked himself up on Mount Emei and since then he never went down to the ordinary world again, it was his personal punishment for everything he caused to Ruo Lan. Since then he has dedicated himself to his desire to become a god in Nirvana, to abstain feelings and passions, he tried, was almost there. However, Ruo Lan's voice made all his feelings come out like a rose in the spring and he couldn't get out of that illusion that the rays put on him.

- I need to get out of here. I need to leave ... - Chi Yu was persistent as he controlled himself to chase Ruo Lan's voice from his mind, but her figure coming and going like a ghost gave him shivers of fear and pain. He knew that this was not the real Ruo Lan, but his heart was still attached to her soul like a nail in the flesh. Then, a great explosion came out of the abyss, a black light emanated from within the deepest reaches of the place filling the whole sky. Soon, the voices disappeared from Chi Yu's mind, all the lightning and black smoke dissipated, and he could see a current formed in the sky, it was the knights of the celestial army, that surrounded the place.

Chi Yu got up from the floor in fright while Baoqiao lurked next to him. The black light that came out of the abyss took over the whole place and the horsemen quickly distanced themselves when they felt the black magic that sustained the spirit of Chaos intensified. Someone had entered the abyss and was releasing Chaos from its seal, which was as bad as a thousand suns burning the worlds.

- Chi Yu! - Ch'eng Haung came running like a mouse frightened by the magic he exuded. He seemed to be freed from his illusion as well, as was Chi Yu. No one could withstand such power; it was too much for even the highest god on the celestial threshold. - The light, the light ... Chaos...

- Ch'eng Huang, concentrate and we will enter the abyss.

Chi Yu raised Baoqiao and summoned the celestial flames that descended with fury taking over the entrance to the abyss, soon the knights saw Chi Yu from the other side and joined him in a circle of flames, but nothing was enough to stop the black magic escape like a puff of intense smoke forming demons everywhere. Legions of demons formed in the air and Chi Yu's eyes widened when he saw the amount of filthy beings that escaped the abyss, so all the demons dispersed around the world quickly.

- Someone is in the abyss! - Chi Yu shouted to all the white knights who formed a circle around him. - We have to stop that person if it continues like this Chaos will wake up!

- Young Master, there are many demons and the black magic of the abyss is very dense, we need to unite our magic to stop this opening. - One of the knights announced making Chi Yu's eyes widen. He understood perfectly well what his battle companion meant, do what the ten elders did and sacrifice their bodies. However, Chi Yu was not prepared to sacrifice his body; he did not even want to be there in the first place!

"No! No! No!" Chi Yu thought desperately. His body and his life were too precious to throw in the wind anyway.

- We will continue to stop an abyss; we will not sacrifice any soul today. - Chi Yu increased his magic with Baoqiao and Ch'eng Huang realized that his friends would need reinforcements, soon joined them. Even if it was little magic, everything was necessary for the victory of that battle.

The celestial flames returned accompanied by the celestial rays, a fire bell was formed to stop the opening of the abyss, but the contrary magic that guarded the place was denser than before. Inside the chasm the walls of the place shook as if many earthquakes were happening simultaneously which made the chasm's magic increasingly unstable and Bai Wan, who was in the statues room until a few minutes ago, was now trapped in a darkness without even a span could be seen before your eyes. The place was too quiet and all the excitement outside and in the uppermost layer of the chasm seemed to be happening in another dimension.

The light that the statue had emanated and sent elsewhere swallowed Bai Wan. The room that looked like a game has disappeared and now he looked trapped, chained to the real Chaos. However, as incredible he felt his magic stabilize in that place, all the adrenaline that ran in his main points of the body, seemed to have taken a tranquilizer and waited for something to happen.

Bai Wan tried to take a step, but the feeling was that everywhere followed his steps, as if he had carried all the darkness on his back. Then he realized that the Game was not over yet. Just as it was the lightning trick, the game of statues, now it had the game of darkness. He felt that each level that descended into the abyss plus the problems seemed to increase. The darkness he was in was different from the night he knew outside. Here he carried something heavy, he did not have the lightness of the night of the mortal and immortal worlds, the abyss was formed of Magic and soon that darkness was purely magic!

Bai Wan tried to take another step and an ax flew towards him, he knew instantly that the statues were there with him, only now he could not see them. Bai Wan concentrated his magic and floated beyond the darkness, not even his flame illuminated the place, and everything seemed to be swallowed up by the dense dark magic.

- How am I going to escape from here? - He thought aloud. Analyzing the situation. His master always said that day and night were relative, but he never understood that phrase. In fact, Bai Wan never stopped to analyze what was relative. Why were night and day relative? Was it possible to change them when he chose? He never thought about that possibility, the only gods capable of changing the day and night were the god of time and the god of night. He was neither!

Then, something big happened, a little crack of light appeared as if a ray of sunlight appeared in the night. It was very fast, but it was possible to get a sense of where it was. All the statues were there, standing like game pieces and the black cloak that covered the place didn't look like the night, it was like the black skin of an animal that could be torn, and the darkness formed by magic was palpable.

Was this the relative?

A crash came over the upper parts of Bai Wan's attention and he soon realized that someone was inside the chasm with him, and he was certainly a celestial. He concentrated his magic on his palms and hurled himself into the darkness, but was swallowed up as if it were nothing!

Damn it!

Bai Wan was angry with himself for not paying more attention to the glutton master's class!

"Relative ... Relative ..." he analyzed the situation calmly.

Day and night were relative, it was not possible to see day without having night, just as it was impossible to have good without having evil. If there was darkness in that place, was it possible that there was light somewhere?

Soon, a quick idea passed through his mind.... Chaos is trapped in the light, but the abyss was made of darkness, like a perfect Yin and Yang!
