"Mortals guard the way, and even gods bow their heads. In this human world, someone has to dare walk against the baleful forces."
Ji Zailin, a half-immortal from Locust Tree Alley, bears contracts with seven gods and specializes in slaying evil spirits. After the Su family is attacked by the Blood Shadow Cult, Su Wanmei, who doesn't believe in ghosts or gods, comes to him for help saving her grandfather. Baleful energy spreads, and the cult lurks in the shadows. The two go from trading barbs to protecting each other, while divine lords descend in turn to display their might. In a battle between good and evil that will decide the fate of all, love and duty intertwine. With catastrophe looming, only divine power can break the baleful forces, and only the human heart can stand against evil.
