Ye Chong transmigrates to another world and becomes the king of assassins in the Hungry Ghost Path.
Who would have thought that the moment he awoke, he would find himself in the desperate situation of slowly dying from blood loss?
Fortune smiled on him. After a difficult struggle, he managed to survive with the help of the Blood God Gu inside his body, despite having thought all hope was lost.
But staying alive was no easy feat. As a puppet controlled by a Soul Gu, he still had no control over his own fate.
Unable to accept this, his obsession refused to die. The original owner of the body had been obsessed with breaking free of the control, and that fixation drove Ye Chong to take a reckless action. By a twist of fate, it caused the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Silkworm, which had acknowledged him as its master, to take human form and become a lovely young girl named Ye Yi.
With Ye Yi's help, Ye Chong eliminated the hidden dangers within his body, stormed the Evil Ghost Path, killed the Ghost Master, avenged an old grudge, and fulfilled the original owner's obsession. But Ye Yi was sealed away in the Peach Blossom Spring space as a result.
To break the seal and rescue Ye Yi, Ye Chong, now stripped of all his cultivation, must take a new master and cultivate a different mystic art.
His target: the Yunlan Sect, his rival back when he was an assassin.
The immortal sects have hidden themselves from the world, and ordinary people can barely find them. Ye Chong must seek out someone in this mortal realm who can connect him to the sects.
"I heard the Red Sleeve House is a lot of fun. Could you take me there to see what it's like?"
The little girl's question gave Ye Chong quite a fright. If he took this young lady from a prestigious family to visit a brothel, people would probably hunt him to the ends of the earth.
