Lin Qingxuan is a Daoist master renowned throughout the land, yet he charges only one coin to exorcise demons.
He slays a river demon with his sword and saves a wealthy merchant's son. The merchant thanks him profusely and offers him a fortune.
“Rules must not be broken.” Smiling, he politely declines and takes only one coin.
That night, a mysterious visitor knocks at his door, leaving behind a strange wooden box on the table.
His master dies protecting him, drenched in blood, and points to the box with his final breath.
Inside is a fragment sharing the same origin as the jade pendant that marks his identity. Inscribed on it are the words “Secret of the Demon Suppression Bureau.” Following the clues, he enters the ruins of the bureau, abandoned for a hundred years. A rotting signboard crashes to the ground. As the dust settles, the entrance to an underground palace appears, and countless sealed demons open their blood-red eyes.
