I'm Out Hunting Demons, Throwing Money at the Underworld to Come Help

At the Nanshan City night market, the down-and-out Taoist Zhang Lingling makes ends meet by livestreaming fortune-telling. His ancestral magical artifact turns out to be a cheap trinket bought online for 9.9 yuan with free shipping. When a mysterious black cat calls him out as a fraud, it accidentally exposes the cat demons’ plot to resurrect their thousand-year-old demon king, Maoyou. It also brings another fearsome demon to light: Chisongzi, whom Zhang Lingling himself sealed away long ago! Stripped of his powers, Zhang Lingling faces the return of two demon kings and a hundred demons running rampant at night. Under the watchful eye of Shen Yexin, an officer of the Demon-Suppression Sect, he has no choice but to reclaim his identity as a Celestial Master. But his trump card isn’t Taoist magic or supernatural arts. It’s the financial system of the underworld! He consecrates underworld banknotes to summon ghost soldiers and uses a black card that works in both realms to summon the Lord of the Underworld! The Lord of Mount Tai takes possession of him and issues an order to the underworld: those who capture demons will have their sins pardoned and be granted official positions! The ancient god of slaughter Bai Qi and the ruthless assassin Yao Li, eager to escape hell and secure divine appointments, become the fiercest “office workers,” launching an unrelenting hunt for the demon kings! A grudge a thousand years old, a battlefield in the modern city. When modern financial tactics collide with ancient demons, a stunning battle that threatens the city’s survival and spans the worlds of the living and the dead erupts, full of absurdity and fervor!
