Yanwang Bone: The Dark Underworld

After fifteen years in a coffin, Lu Zhao crawls out of the “Yin-Nurturing Coffin” beneath a netherworld locust tree, only to learn that he bears the “Yan King's Bone,” a fate steeped in extreme yin and malevolence that brings harm to his family and himself, and leaves him with no hope of living past thirty.

His master, Xuan Chenzi, saves his life and teaches him feng shui, Taoist arts, and folk secrets. But while investigating the sinister Blood Lotus Society, his master mysteriously disappears, leaving behind only a clue: “Cave of Rebirth.”

From then on, Lu Zhao sets out to find his master, walking between the realms of the living and the dead with the art of “Yan King's Roll Call.” The Netherworld River banquet, the wax-sealed funeral home, the Yellow Immortal's demand for a title... One eerie case after another reveals the truth behind the disorder between yin and yang on the Xuan You Continent.

A cult performs sacrifices in the mortal realm, while the Ten Halls of the Underworld crumble. When the Blood Lotus Society joins forces with the Rebirth Sect, hoping to tear open a rift between yin and yang on the day the Nine Yin converge and summon the Netherworld's Sea of Blood into the world, Lu Zhao finally understands:

His cursed “Yan King's Bone” is the only key to repairing reincarnation and restoring order.

Will he become the cornerstone sacrificed to yin and yang, or will he wield the power of the Yan King in a mortal's body?
