Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

Wei Wuxian was once a brilliant cultivator who broke tradition by creating a path of demonic cultivation — an unorthodox method that granted him immense power but cost him his reputation and the respect of his peers. After he is branded a villain and forced into seclusion, years later he resurfaces to investigate a series of gruesome murders linked to a mysterious figure known as the Yiling Patriarch. His investigation draws him back toward Lan Wangji, his former classmate from the Cloud Recesses whose disciplined adherence to tradition set them on opposite paths after their youth together. As Wei Wuxian uncovers the truth behind his own downfall and the mystery at hand, he must confront both his past choices and a present threat that could destroy everything around him.
