Luo Fan, a once-great disciple, falls from grace after inadvertently poisoning his master. Stripped of his grandmaster status and exiled from his sect, he faces a death sentence. With unexpected assistance, he narrowly escapes, embarking on a new journey in the secular realm.
Xianru, the empire under the rule of the formidable Eternal Damnation Sect, led by the infamous Ruan Yanjun, a demonic figure wielding the fabled Ancient Demonic Core, becomes his new home. Blinded and grappling with an unknown ailment, Luo Fan dreams of a simple life, far removed from his past glory.
Ruan Yanjun, however, has other plans. After months of relentless pursuit, he finally locates Luo Fan, now vulnerable and cared for by a woman. The once-celebrated mage and divine being lies broken, lost, and on the brink of death. Yet, within this despair, there exists a glimmer of hope.
Ruan Yanjun is determined to restore Luo Fan to his former power, if not for his own benevolence, for ulterior motives. Known as the South Devil, his intentions are anything but kind. This quest for control is rooted in a desire to claim the throne for himself, regardless of Luo Fan's wishes.
