Together Through the Dark Night

Everyone strives for power that reaches the heavens, but he is trapped in the mortal world by his own invincible strength.

In the 21st century, the law is the absolute rule of the mortal world, while the Dust-Hiding Pact is the ironclad law of life and death for cultivators. Spiritual energy has been depleted for a thousand years. Cultivators hide among the bustle of the city, following the rules and barely scraping by.

Until spiritual qi begins to revive, the world’s restraints loosen, evil spirits run rampant, and strange cases multiply.

Zhang Muye, a breakfast-shop helper, commands countless techniques and is the bane of evil spirits. His cultivation is unfathomably profound, yet he remains trapped in the shadows of his youth, living with depression and wanting nothing more than to protect his ordinary daily life.

Jiang Yan, a star criminal investigator, solves cases with iron fists and treats the law as supreme. He doesn’t believe in ghosts or gods, yet a series of bizarre murders drags him into the supernatural world, where he becomes a guardian of order who walks the boundary between yin and yang.

One uses supernatural power to protect the peace of ordinary people; the other upholds the order of the present world through the law.

They are each other’s salvation, and the last line of defense for this world.

They just don’t yet know that this spiritual qi revival sweeping across the mortal world is no beginning at all. It is the start of an apocalypse that has been a thousand years in the making.
