In the Great Yan Dynasty, the Confucians uphold propriety, the Buddhists deliver people from suffering, the Daoists cut down evil, martial artists protect the world, and sword cultivators shatter the heavens.
But under cover of night, demons run rampant, strange horrors emerge, and human lives are treated like blades of grass.
Ye Chen transmigrates into the body of a lowly constable in a remote border town.
He awakens a case-solving System that makes him stronger!
Solve a murder, and gain [Martial Arts Foundation]!
Capture an evil spirit, and gain [Confucian Righteous Qi]!
Slay a demon, and gain [A Sword Strike from the Sword Immortal]!
Put a strange haunting to rest, and gain [Tathagata's Diamond Body]!
From then on, Great Yong has a petty official who refuses to play by the rules.
Strange horrors harming people? Investigate!
Demons wreaking havoc? Investigate!
Sects hiding their corruption? Investigate!
The Heavenly Dao is unjust? I, Ye Chen, will investigate to the bitter end!
Others cultivate for a hundred years. I solve one case and break through a realm.
As the strange horrors across the heavens tremble and the sects of every world bow in submission, Ye Chen glances at his status panel and calmly says:
“Who should I investigate in the next case?”
