The Sun Sect of Kujing, once renowned for their benevolent rule, had for years reigned in brutal tyranny, terrorizing the whole of Hainei. When the wicked emperor Sun Aiguo was finally slain, his death was celebrated throughout the land.
Nine years later, however, the world is not free from his influence. This is particularly felt by Sun Guanyu, the last surviving prince, who had been forced to conceal his identity far away from the ire of the cultivation world. However, try as he might to live his life free from persecution, fate seems to have other plans. After encountering an abandoned book of demonic cultivation, he finds himself back into the very world he'd hoped to escape, right at the center of a blood-soaked mystery. Now, to protect himself and all that he has left, he must discover the root of the mystery, even at the risk of being discovered himself.
However, he's not alone. He'll face it all with the righteous and respected Xia Yichen, a powerful cultivator who's devotion to justice and shared past with Sun Guanyu will help to cast a light on the dark truths that stand before them.
The past can't be altered, but the future is ever changing. Can Sun Guanyu and Xia Yichen work together to prevent a gruesome history from repeating itself?
