After teaching in the mountains for ten years, Luo Yan thought he was just an ordinary exorcist until the daughter of the Jiang family encountered a haunting poison and the poison master sought revenge on a rainy night. The Yama Luopei left by his master suddenly became hot, and his destiny was revealed - the reincarnation of Yama in the underworld. He violated the rules of heaven by secretly changing the book of life and death out of pity for the wronged souls. He needs to resolve hundreds of obsessions and accumulate merit in the mortal world before he can return to the underworld.
But Zhao Xuan, the traitor from the underworld, has long coveted the position of Yama. He tampered with the book of life and death, bribed undercover agents, and even teamed up with human Gu masters to set up a series of traps: the corpse Gu in Qingxi Ancient Town killed people, and the paper town's paper man seduced the soul. , The evil snow monster in the snow mountain ice cave, and the evil image in the Lost Soul Temple. At every step, they try to prevent Luo Yan from collecting the five artifacts. They also want to open the passage between the underworld and the human world and subvert the three realms with the evil ghost's evil energy.
Jiang Ruoxi's persistence is his warmest concern in this world; Taoist Master Xuanfeng's sacrifice of his life to protect him is the key to his victory; Bai Wuchang and other old men's return is the confidence for him to regain control of the underworld. From the evil spirits in the old house in Jiangcheng to the book of life and death by the Wangchuan River, from the fireworks in the world to the evil spirits in the underworld, Luo Yan kills the evil spirits with a peach wood sword, protects the common people with the golden light of merit, and finally fights Zhao Xuan in the Palace of Yama, breaks the soul-devouring formation with the power of five artifacts, and returns to the throne of Yama.
However, the reconstruction of the underworld has not yet been completed, and there are still residual evils causing trouble in the world. The Nether Lotus in the Valley of Forgetfulness and the souls that have not entered reincarnation are all waiting for him to move on - this time, he is no longer Yama trapped by fate, but the guardian of the mortal world and the underworld, using his obsession with the road to perfection to protect the peace of the two realms.
