After the ancient Emperor Zhuanxu achieved "Jedi Tiantong", the innate spiritual energy was completely cut off. Spirits and strangers lost their way to immortality. They could only hide in the mortal world and rely on plundering their own kind or absorbing their essence and blood to survive. In the end of the Dharma era when spiritual energy is exhausted, the four major cities check and balance each other and undercurrents surge. Xiange City is the most prosperous and strange center of the chess game in this troubled world.
Liu Pu was originally a Nuo master from the Wuqi Kingdom, but his country turned into a dead city overnight, and all lives were devastated. He was the Shura who crawled out from the pile of dead people in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He lurked in the darkness with deep hatred, just to pursue the truth that destroyed his country and his family.
Xue Zhao is the most powerful general in Xiange City. He has a large number of troops to guard this dangerous city. When strange cases of monsters and strangers dying suddenly occurred one after another in Xiange City, Liu Pu, who was dying, was accidentally rescued outside the city. Out of doubts about his identity and appreciation of his keen intuition, Xue Zhao kept him by his side to help him solve difficult supernatural cases.
On the surface, the two teamed up to unravel the undercurrent of Xiange City. Secretly, the obsession deep in Liu Pu's heart has never been extinguished. The murders in Xiange City are actually closely related to the massacre that year.
Therefore, Liu Pu was charged with the blood feud of destroying his country, but he was greedy for the tenderness Xue Zhao gave him. Xue Zhao had the power to protect the city, but he was willing to fall into Liu Pu's calculations at every step. In the court hall, colleagues stand side by side, each with their own hidden agenda; in the dark alley, they protect each other from life to death, and it is hard to control their feelings.
Purpose: Use love as a blade and hatred as a sacrifice to explore the ultimate boundary of crime, punishment and redemption.
