Lin Xiu thought he was just an ordinary college student, until he stumbled upon a vengeful spirit in red entangled with 27 student ID cards in the library. After his Yin-Yang Eyes awaken, he is forced into a feud spanning a thousand years. The Soul-Sealing Mark on his palm reveals his bloodline as a descendant of the Zhenling clan, a mysterious family wiped out to the last member, whose grudge against the legendary Marquis in Blood runs deeper than any sea!
When disciples of the Mystic Gate from the Lingxiao Sect come knocking, when Zhang the Lame's fortune-telling stall conceals secrets of the Blood-Clad Guards, and when Su Yao's Frostfrost Sword resonates with the Netherworld Token in a dragon's roar, Lin Xiu finally realizes he stands at the heart of a conspiracy. The sect tournament hides a demonic plot, the ghost market on the rear mountain teems with the Marquis in Blood's minions, and every breakthrough in cultivation brings a violent clash between human and ghost bloodlines.
From the submission of the Imperial Palace's tomb guardian beasts to the emergence of the Talisman King of Chenzhou, from the pursuit by a ghost general wearing a blood-jade mask to the sacrifice of the living at the Gu God Festival, he must survive in the narrow space between sect corruption and the truth of the Heavenly Dao. And as black blood seeps from the gates of Fengdu and the Marquis in Blood stands ready with his scythe, the prophecy that “one who lives between humans and ghosts will plunge the Five Realms into turmoil” is slowly coming true...
Bloodline awakened, strange events abound! See how the last descendant of the Zhenling clan uncovers the truth buried for ages amid the strife between humans, ghosts, immortals, and demons!
