Chronicles of Foxes, Weasels, and the Uncanny

Deep in the old forests of Northeast China lies Foxcry Village, where people tell of the Five Immortal Clans: “Fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake, and rat, the Five Immortals guard every direction.” A massacre a century ago left the five clans devastated. The survivors made a pact with humanity and withdrew into the mountains. But urbanization in the modern age has upset the balance. Foxcry Village is about to be developed as a tourist attraction, putting the immortal clans’ mountain homes on the brink of destruction. At the same time, a force known as “Black Sha,” which can devour the clans’ cultivation, has begun to spread, triggering a surge of supernatural incidents.
