Outcast of the Taoist Sect: Maoshan's Demon-Slaying Exorcist

Lin Jiuchuan, a young Taoist priest expelled from Maoshan, descends the mountain and enters the mortal world with the peachwood sword his master left him and half a copy of the Fragmentary Yin Talisman Scroll. He thought he was simply leaving the mountain gate and would make a living exorcising evil spirits and suppressing malevolent forces. But on his first night down the mountain, something strange happened at Maoshan. An old case, a cult, a corpse-raising ground, and a life-borrowing ritual all began to surface one after another. A red coffin demanding passage, a yin temple feasting on incense, a hundred corpses wailing in the night, a bronze coffin sealing an evil spirit. Behind every bizarre case lay a secret Maoshan had never dared to reveal. He was an outcast disciple, yet step by step he was forced to become a swordsman who suppressed evil. When the Black Lotus Cult returns, when the truth about his master's death proves to be more complicated, and when the entire mountain gate stands upon a lie... Lin Jiuchuan finally understands: he wasn't driven away when he descended the mountain. He was sent out to stay alive. After that night, he is no longer just Maoshan's outcast disciple. He is a Maoshan Taoist who walks the mortal world, subduing ghosts and vanquishing evil.
