When Earth Is Kept in Captivity

The spiritual qi revival has transformed the world.

People of extraordinary talent emerge in droves, while demons, monsters, ghosts, and spirits run rampant.

Some form factions and alliances, wreak havoc, occupy mountains, and carve out territories of their own.

To establish order and punish the guilty, the empire creates the Demon Suppression Bureau, recruiting people of extraordinary talent to slay demons and banish evil, and suppress the forces of darkness...

Xiao Qiang, a former Kunlun disciple, is branded a sinner of the Daoist sects by a twist of fate. Hated by Kunlun and hunted by Daoist disciples throughout the land, he joins the Demon Suppression Bureau to protect himself, and is drawn into a world of gods, demons, ghosts, monsters, and struggles between family and country.
