HEAVENLY MASTER ZHŌNG KUÍ : MODERN CASES OF THE ANCIENT DEMON QUELLER

Ancient dynasties have fallen. Skyscrapers now pierce the heavens where battlefields once lay. Ghosts still wander in places of darkness, and spirits cry out for justice. When ordinary priests cannot solve the impossible, pleas and prayers whispered in teahouses may reach the right person. He appears not as a terrifying deity or an untouchable god, but as a weary traveller in a trench coat, drinking tea and eating noodles in a quiet Xi'an teahouse. Then evil shows itself — and Heaven remembers why his name has never faded. For over a thousand years, Zhōng Kuí — once a disgraced Tang-dynasty scholar who took his own life, now the venerated Perfected Lord of Demon-Quelling — has walked the line between worlds. He runs a sanctuary in the form of a humble teahouse, surrounded by a reformed household of demons, a celestial tiger, and a chronic distrust of smartphones. A pattern of hauntings and disturbances soon emerges — from ancient battlefields to overseas diaspora communities. Something is systematically unsealing spirits, and the goal is not chaos, but control. Men, spirits, and beasts of myth are being pitted against each other by an ancient malice fueled by the greed, hatred, and ignorance of man himself. Zhōng Kuí stands firm against the gathering tide, but he knows this is only the first move. This is the opening gambit in a conspiracy to overthrow the old order and forge a new one—a brutal re-enactment of a legend that nearly destroyed Heaven itself.  A new Canonization of the Deities. Content Warnings:This story deals with mature themes: murder, betrayal, psychological manipulation, and the horrors of greed and ignorance. Violence is present but not gratuitous. There is no explicit sexual content or harem elements. The focus is on justice, tragedy, and redemption.  Update Schedule:Regular chapters served fresh every Saturdays — because even a Heavenly Master needs to keep to a schedule.
