Legend has it that an ancient scroll called the Gusi Scroll, sealed atop Mount Kunlun, can command all demons. The divine beast Bai Ze loses this sacred relic, so the Wuse Heaven seals away his powers and sends him into the mortal world to search for it. Along the way, he sparks with Ji Yun, a Guoan Department employee from the state of Wuyou who also practices esoteric Buddhism. What happens when a scheming spirit mage with questionable brains meets a two-faced divine beast with an extraordinary intellect? Who is Buddha, and who is demon? One strange incident after another begins to entangle the mortal world. People must be saved, and demons must be destroyed! “O heavens above, I cannot bear the calamities that ravage the mortal world. I offer my divine soul to the underworld, to aid all living things, usher them into reincarnation, and bring everlasting peace to the world.” After Bai Ze returns to chaos, who will remember the young novice at Shazhou’s Jiyun Temple, praying day and night for the rebirth of an ancient demon clan’s betrayer? “All conditioned things should be viewed in this way.” “Bai Ze, this time, I won’t let you go.”
