After transmigrating into the cultivation world as a good-for-nothing, Lin Feng finds himself carrying the most sinister martial soul of all, the Nine Nether Ocarina, and branded a demon who must be slain by the righteous path.
In his previous life, he was a music teacher at the front of a classroom. Now, with the sound of his ocarina, he must command the battlefield’s restless dead, devour the resentment of heaven and earth, and tread a lonely path that the world will not accept.
Su Qingxue, the Spirit Beast Sect’s peerless prodigy, bears a pair of twin martial souls unseen in a thousand years. By rights, she should be his sworn enemy.
Yet her Heavenly Sound Bell always resonates with a sense of destiny whenever his Nine Nether Ocarina sounds.
“Martial souls are neither righteous nor evil.” She stands before him with her sword raised and declares to the world, “I’ll prove it.”
At the outer sect tournament, his ocarina sounds and ten thousand spirits bow;
In the Nine Nether Secret Realm, he and she play the qin and ocarina in harmony, awakening an ancient seal and uncovering the astonishing secret behind the Demon Lord’s death thirty years ago;
In the war between the righteous and demonic factions, he wields music as a blade and raises a soul banner as his standard, playing a soul-subduing requiem unique to demonic cultivators amid a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
“They call me a demon, so I’ll use the demonic path to compose a new song for this lifeless world.”
“If the heavens refuse to allow it, then with the sound of the Nine Nether, I’ll shatter the highest heavens and rewrite the rules!”
