Wuxia Crossover: The Demonic Cult Leader's Retirement

An ordinary little eatery in the middle of town, utterly unremarkable at first glance.

Its owner, Chen Hai, is the former Demon Cult leader, long believed to have died in a great battle.

As a young man, he hit one dead end after another in his pursuit of martial arts. The righteous sects framed him without cause, forcing him to join the Demon Cult. After a lifetime of bloodshed and conquest, he defeated three peerless masters, Zhang Sanfeng, the Sweeper Monk, and the Sunflower Patriarch, in a battle at Shaolin. He used the opportunity to fake his death and escape, hoping only to live quietly and take it easy.

The two employees also have hidden pasts of their own:

The waiter is Wudang's Sixth Hero, Yin Liting, wounded by love but still devoted to justice.

The chef is a living Buddha from the Western Regions who wants nothing to do with returning to his seat of power, preferring to hide among ordinary folk.

The three spend their days trading jokes, and business at the little restaurant is quiet and uneventful. Then the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual appears, and one martial-world conflict after another erupts.

Yin Liting secretly protects Lin Pingzhi, whose family has been massacred. The chef desperately conceals his abilities to stay alive, while Chen Hai watches coldly from the sidelines, unwilling to get involved in the martial world's feuds.

As one incident after another unfolds, the three men's true identities are gradually exposed.

Only then does the world realize with alarm that this unassuming little restaurant has brought together figures from the Buddhist, demonic, and Daoist sides.

As the storm raging through the martial world bears down on them, a retired Demon Lord, a disillusioned Wudang master, and an escaped living Buddha stand shoulder to shoulder, facing the world's tumultuous upheaval together.
