The Nightmare Tide

The white-eyed divine son abandoned at sea on a rainy night has a being that reigns over all ghosts sleeping within him: Yan. For eighteen years, Hua Jiangchao was raised with loving care by the Daoist exorcist Poshadaoren. He was meant to be a carefree ghost hunter wandering the martial world, but during a ritual that turned into a deadly trap, he was forced to awaken his nightmare true form, sealed away since time immemorial. His master died, leaving behind a letter with only one cryptic martial-world phrase from a young wanderer. It led him into the secret auction house of the Hidden Society, where countless mysteries lay concealed. Earthly fiends run rampant, a Ghost Sage comes knocking, and seven tiers of ghostly power loom over the world. Bearing Yan's extremely yin and wicked bloodline, he is the world's most fearsome calamity, and also the one true king of all ghosts. He wanders the martial world, joins the Bureau, meets kindred spirits, and defies fate. When the divine son takes his rightful place, all ghosts bow their heads. No more exorcists remain in the human world; only the tide of Yan sweeps across mountains and rivers.
