The Daoist and the Exorcist

[Taoist] + [Exorcist] + [Dual Systems]

He was once a young Taoist priest on Mount Longhu, but was forced to shoulder the immense burden of protecting Huaxia’s dragon veins. On Changbai Mountain, he summons the mountain god at the cost of his lifespan. Deep in the Yanshan Mountains, he is cast into a celestial lake, a dragon spike driven into his meridians as his life force fades. He sleeps for four years in Xu Fu’s secret chamber beneath the Yellow River. On the summit of Zhongshan, carrying the will of the nation’s soul, he cuts down his mortal enemy. From the forests and snowy plains of the Northeast to the Korean battlefield, from guarding the cemetery of fallen heroes to once more emerging as a protector of the dragon veins, his name is Li Muyang, the seventeenth-generation guardian of the dragon veins.

Across the ocean, the Hand of Shadows is searching the world for the key to breaking Andrei’s seal. A descendant of the Blood of the Stigmata crosses the Pacific alone to seek help. A former comrade switches sides in the enemy camp, while a thousand-year-old misunderstanding and tragedy await their final answer.

In this life, watch me wield the Azure Soul, summon the heroic spirits, and join forces with exorcists from East and West to fight the Hand of Shadows to the death!

(PS: Set against the backdrop of modern history, this book features parallel Eastern Taoist magic and Western exorcism systems, long-laid clues that converge across multiple storylines, a blend of passionate action and political intrigue, and equal weight given to protection and inheritance.)
