The Divine Face Reader in Hemp: A Legend Beyond the Heavens

Yang Ruhai was an old executioner, a lowly and ill-omened profession. After years steeped in its foulness, he met a stunning mute woman on a night walk and brought her home, indulging in passion with her day and night. Little did he know that she was not human... Yang Ruhai’s kindness led him to befriend a strange Daoist, from whom he obtained a treasured blade called Bilu. He also adopted an orphan and named him Chen Tianci. When Chen Tianci was twenty, he went in Yang Ruhai’s place to execute the criminal Huo Wang Liaoyuan. But he hesitated too long to strike, and Liaoyuan was rescued. Chen Tianci returned home in frustration, only to find that Yang Ruhai had been beheaded! The Bilu blade was missing as well! Chen Tianci vowed to avenge Yang Ruhai, but was deceived and betrayed by the woman he loved, Jiang Xingmou, and nearly lost his life. At the critical moment, a human soul that had lain dormant inside him for years came to his rescue. Only then did he learn that he had cultivated for ten lifetimes without forgetting his past lives. He possessed twenty-one souls and seventy spirits, making his life tougher, his luck better, and his resolve stronger than an ordinary person’s. From then on, Chen Tianci began his cheat-powered life as an executioner!
