Also known as: You Call My Eyes Monstrous? I'll Kill the Whole Village from the Start!

Shen Chi was born an aberration.

His pair of strange, writhing gray-white eyes made his entire clan regard him as an impure bloodline.

His grandfather guarded the ancestral shrine for ten years, yet the clan wanted to bury him according to their ancestral rites, pinning him underground with seven soul-pinning nails.

At the funeral, he burned down the village and killed its people! He tore off the cloth covering his eyes, revealing a gaze that could glimpse the indescribable!

From then on, the Immortal Court hunted him, cultivators from the Xuanqing Sect pursued him for thousands of miles, and every great clan and noble family saw him as a thorn in their side.

Shen Chi cares nothing for rules and respects no laws or customs.

Armed with nothing but his supernatural powers and his eyes, he cuts down anyone who stands in his way.

The world calls him a mad demon, but Shen Chi alone knows the truth.

The so-called golden age of the Immortal Court is nothing but a colossal lie!

And he, heading north, will traverse prefectures and counties, investigate strange cases, expose countless ghost marriages, longevity banquets, and feng shui schemes, and eventually reach the sealed ruins at the heart of the realm, where he will tear apart the false orthodoxy the sages have woven over a thousand years!
