Lu Qingxuan, a generation Xuanmen master, was betrayed by his beloved disciple and died in the ancient evil formation. When he opened his eyes again, he was reborn as a modern rookie researcher whose parents had disappeared and who was guarding a dilapidated folklore studio.
In this world, under the cities built of steel and concrete, there are hidden evil fissures that are more sinister than ancient tombs; what was once the secret method of killing evil is now regarded as feudal superstition.
Vases at antique auctions hurt people one after another, abandoned amusement parks swallow up fresh lives, and urban subway construction awakens the sleeping dragon veins... Behind each of the mysterious cases, the same evil mark emerges - it is the seal of the enemy that killed him in his previous life!
Spiritual power is rare, and if you use high-level magic, you will be counterattacked by heaven. Facing the evil-raising alliance hidden in the shadows of the city, Lu Qingxuan could only act step by step.
Fortunately, the new world also has new opportunities: a hard-core female reporter who firmly believes in science became his "human navigation" to understand modern rules; a feng shui master from the Republic of China volunteered to become his "informant in the underworld"; and a tech nerd disciple actually used code to help him optimize ancient formations!
Let's see how the classical master uses the compass to confront the camera, uses spells to decode urban legends, stirs up the Xuanmen storm under the neon lights, and uncovers a shocking conspiracy spanning ancient and modern times!
