[No cheat powers] [Daoist priest] [One female lead] [War of Resistance against Japan] [Republican Era]
The Republican Era is a time of chaos, with foreign powers closing in and ghosts and monsters running rampant.
Zhang Tianyun, a Celestial Master from the Central Plains, heads south across the seas to make a living. He only wants to hunt ghosts and subdue demons in peace, but soon finds himself caught up in the turbulent, treacherous affairs of Southeast Asia.
Ancient sorcery, mysterious poisons, and the vengeful souls of white bones: sinister forces hidden deep in the tropical rainforests are stirring beneath the surface.
The Japanese military's development of ghost weapons and the Nine Lotus Church's plot to achieve immortality make the nights of Southeast Asia even more deadly.
Wielding a peachwood sword and moving through the Seven Stars steps, Zhang Tianyun battles evil spirits, breaks curses, quells turmoil, and protects the peace of the people.
Amid the bloodshed, he meets the clever and courageous Huang Jiaoniang. The two join forces, walking the line between life and death. But fate has other plans, and in this chaotic age, they gradually drift apart...
Amid the flames of war, ghosts and gods wail, and human hearts are treacherous. Can Zhang Tianyun use the sword in his hand to slay every demon and monster and restore peace to Southeast Asia?
