Be simpler,
and you're much cuter!
Let's await the return of the Yiling Patriarch together!
The unscrupulous Wen Clan ran rampant,
unleashing living hell on earth.
The righteous among cultivation clans launched the Sunshot Campaign,
uniting in the war against the Wen Clan.
The Yiling Patriarch, Wei Wuxian,
distinguished himself in many notable feats during the Campaign.
But his fearsome demonic cultivation drew much suspicion,
escalating into a malicious plot against him,
leaving his reputation in ruins.
His hideout was vanquished by none other than his dearest shidi,
while his mortal self was eradicated from this world.

What...
Fluting...
The phantom flute...
to express sentiments
Chenqing*?!
Wei Ying Courtesy name: Wuxian
That's...
The Yiling Patriarch, Wei Wuxian!!!
Xuan Zheng Year 25, Yi Qiu
The Yiling Patriarch,Wei Wuxian, is dead!
Who killed him?
Who else can it be.
junior in cultivation of the same school
His shidi*,
the young head of Jiang,
Jiang Cheng.
Yunmeng Jiang Clan
Lanling Jin Clan
Gusu Lan Clan
Qinghe Nie Clan
The Four Clans led the siege,
vanquishing the Burial Mounds.
But this Yiling Patriarch and the Four,
weren't they allies during the Sunshot Campaign?
What allies?
The Jiangs treated him like their own son,
yet he brought them to near annihilation.
What an ingrate who bit the hand that fed him!
I've heard, that he possessed an unholy artifact.
Stygian Tiger Amulet?
Before his death,
he destroyed the Amulet with his own hands.
That's one good deed to his name in afterlife.
The Yiling Patriarch is formidable in his dark arts.
Can't he...
Rebirth by possessing another body?
Cultivation clans set up soul-summoning rituals there for months,
yet there was no response.
I guess his soul,
has really scattered without a trace.
Think of the old days...
When Wei Wuxian was still a promising young master among cultivation clans
He deserved credit for ousting the Wens.
Being renowned at a young age,
he had such a free spirit.
How did he end up in that state?
Mortal affairs are certainly transient.
Heaven's will is unpredictable.
Leaving storms of the past
I gaze imperiously at the firmament
gently caressing the flute with composure
At the Cloud Recesses
within the Emperor's Smile
The physical realm is transient
the drunken dream of a lone soul
I explore both orthodoxy and heresy
observing the pandemonium
taking on a solitary fight against all
Yet I've not
abandoned my innermost core
Living an unrestrained life
virtue and vice are both illusory
yet the scars within the heart will not fade
In this life
the floating world is like a dream
Though standing aloof from worldly affairs
paths differ but integrity endures
Even with a heart of chivalry
all were regrettably in vain
Good and evil are in black and white
but the border between love and hate remains unclear
Our acquaintance is like a dream
Episode 1
Banishing Evil (Part 1)
13 Years later Mo Village
Blood as medium,
Hand as means.
Mo Xuanyu
Flesh to thy spirit,
Soul to the dust!!
Awaiting the descent of the Yiling Patriarch,
Wei Wuxian!!!
Where am I...
Lunatic!
Lunatic!!
Hey I wanted to eat that!
How could you toss it?
Don't you play dead with me!
You're living on my property,
eating the rice of my family.
So what if I take a few of your magic tools?
How dare you tell on me!
Yeah how dare you tell on the young master!
You've got some nerve.
Don't get cocky just because your father is the head of a cultivator clan.
You're just his bastard child.
That's why you landed back here like a stray dog.
Mo Xuanyu,
listen up now.
My mother is the current head of Mo Village.
My mother never treated your mother as a sister.
So,
you're never my cousin!
This is,
the forbidden ritual of offering one's body by self-mutilation.
Damn lunatic.
Messing around with those sinistrous artifacts all day.
This bloody array...
Can't imagine how miserable he was,
to think of carving up his body for the ritual.
All for the sake of summoning a devilish overlord of carnage.
But I'm not on that list.
Maybe he really is mad after all.
You damn lunatic!
Your dead mother was the daughter of a servant.
You're just a servant too!
Watch him.
We have important guests today.
Don't let this embarrassment out.
Of course,
young master.
Damn lunatic.
Stop playing dead!
Get to work!
Playing dead?
I had been deceased for years,
it really wasn't an act.
The spirit called forth by the offering ritual must fulfill the wish of the offerer,
or they'll suffer from the curse,
never to be reborn.
Mo Xuanyu,
I'm fine with your summoning,
but you could've told me what you wanted.
Do you want me to humiliate them,
beat them up
or exterminate the whole clan?
Damn lunatic.
You've got some guts.
Laughing like that!
Young master...
Are you tired of living!!
You dare hit the master?!
If I don't clobber you good,
you won't behave!
Who do you think you're messing with?
You...
You!!
Damn lunatic!
Just you wait!
Hey!
Hya!
Get up and move it!
We can't catch them if we don't hurry!
Mister Donkey,
here we go!
Cultivators are really coming?
Of course!
Hills behind Mo Village are plagued by zombies lately,
injuring many folks.
Cultivators are here to purge them.
I heard,
that they're from a prominent cultivation clan.
Outta my way!
Great booze!
Where's your manners,
Mister Donkey.
Isn't that the loony young master of Mo?
He was driven to madness, you know.
The Mo family really is too cruel.
Poor thing.
I agree...
I've heard remarkable things about youths from prominent cultivation clans.
Now that I met you,
You really are dashing
impressive,
vigorous,
and valiant!
Truely distinguished among peers!
Madame Mo,
as you said earlier,
hills behind Mo Village were not troubled by zombies until recently.
Indeed.
Some even encroached on the village.
Several master cultivators have come these past few days.
Lan Yuan Courtesy name: Sizhui
Speaking of...
night hunts?
Cultivators travel far and wide,
banishing evil.
These demonic beings often appear at night
hence the term "night hunt".
I see.
To be honest, my son has an aspiring wish of purging evil since young.
He has proper etiquette
and extraordinary talent.
He would be a very promising cultivator.
If only he had the opportunity...
That annoying Mo Xuanyu!
Using those cultivation tricks he learned to bully me!
You must thrash him to avenge me.
Did he hit you?!
Are you injured?
Pardon us, cultivators.
A-Yuan,
manners!
You can't go in!
Go away!
Stop! Stop him!
I wanna play!
I'm not leaving!
I just won't!
Come catch me!
Catch me!
Watch out!
Lan Jingyi
Forehead ribbon with flowing cloud patterns!
Junior disciples from Gusu Lan Clan?!
What a strange fate.
Is it you who hid my stuff away?
Hands off me!
Servants!
Get this lunatic out of here!
I'm not leaving!
Not leaving!
You damn lunatic!
Get out now,
or I'll make you sorry!
I'll leave as you wish,
as long as he returns my stolen stuff.
Nonsense!
When did I ever steal from you?!
Yeah yeah yeah.
You didn't steal.
You robbed!
Not only did you rob me,
you did it in the middle of the night!
Shameless!
Murder! Murder!
This...
young master,
we can settle this like gentlemen.
Piss off!
I beg your pardon, cultivator.
My son was insulted out of nowhere.
He wasn't mindful of his words in his rage.
And that's Mo Xuanyu.
He has a screw loose,
and is full of fudge.
His words don't matter.
Who said my words don't matter?
From now on, if anyone steals from me again,
I'll chop off one of his hands!!
Mom!
You just let him insult me like that?!
Zip it!
It's impolite
to interfere with your family.
However.
It's near sunset.
Luring and purging the zombies are more urgent.
Lure in and purge the zombies?
Please inform your household,
after nightfall,
shut all doors and windows.
avoid the backyard,
and anything within the Spirit Lure Array.
This face isn't half bad.
Why mess it up with ghastly makeup?
Well then,
since I'm a lunatic now,
might as well have some fun.
How do I act like one anyway.
However,
this offering ritual was long lost.
Where could Mo Xuanyu possibly learn it from?
Summoning my soul in specific, no less!
My reputation wasn't great indeed.
but I never haunted the living or sought revenge.
I'm anything but vicious.
Spirit Lure Flags.
The cultivation clans wanted me dead,
but see no problem in putting my inventions to use.
Spirit Lure Flags require living humans as bait.
Looks like these youths from the Lan Clan
plan to use themselves as bait
to lure in the zombies and vile creatures nearby
then vanquish them all.
Lunatic,
you are so dead tonight!
Argh, young master,
why send me to the donkey shed now?
Who?
Who's there?
This...
This is...
It's...
It's you!
Oh no!
Lunatic...
I...
murder...
Murderer!
Help!
Murder!
What's all the fuss about at this hour?
Madame
It's horrible!
Young master...
What about him?
Talk slowly.
That lunatic...
he murdered young master!
A-Yuan
Impossible!
It can't be true!
Get out of my way!
Impossible...
Impossible!
This is not my A-Yuan!
It can't be!
A-Yuan!
My son!
You died such a miserable death...
Gone from me just like that.
How can I do without you?
My boy...
This...
If anyone steals from me again,
I'll chop off one of his hands!!
It's you!
You killed him.
You bastard.
How could you do that?
He...
He's just a child.
Why...didn't you son of a bitch die instead?!
Madame!
Let me go!
I'll avenge A-Yuan's death.
Let me go!
Revenge?
It's not like I killed him.
You...
What did you say?
Madame Mo
Your son's flesh and energy were sucked dry.
He was obviously killed by demons.
This lunatic IS the murderer.
Today in the hall, you all heard him well.
He wanted to cut off A-Yuan's arm.
I... I want a life for a life.
Pay with your life.
Don't kill me.
Help!
Murder!
Spirit Lure Flag.
What?
Why would my son have it on him?
Madame Mo,
I figured the cause of your son's death.
Spirit Lure Flag.
Summon spirits.
Elicit demons.
Your son carried this,
making him the live target of nearby spirits.
The evil spirits summoned by the flag caused his demise.
Bullshit.
He only took a ragged flag from you.
How could it...?
A-Yuan...
Only two cuts remain.
Three cuts for three lives as I presumed.
Mo Ziyuan suffered the consequences of stealing the flag.
But Spirit Lure Flag is my invention.
The offering contract acquiesced that I took Mo Ziyuan's life.
What an odd coincidence.
You useless things.
Hell with your cultivation and exorcism.
You can't even protect a child.
What's the point of inviting you?
It's all because of your ragged flag that my A-Yuan died.
You should all pay with your lives.
Give me back my A-Yuan...
So many years have passed,
yet the Lan Clan never changes.
Sticking to pointless self-restraint.
Way too repressed.
Child?
How old is your son?
Already 17, right?
Still lacking in savvy.
They had repeatedly warned you.
Don't touch the array.
Your son sneaked out at midnight.
My fault?
His fault?
You!
Spirit Lure Flag.
How could my son have the Spirit Lure Flag on him?
You!
It must be you!
You bastard.
It must be you that killed A-Yuan.
You put the Spirit Lure Flag into A-Yuan's clothes.
It's you!
Definitely!
You...
Give my A-Yuan back.
You dirty rat.
Your dead mother is a lowly bitch.
So are you...
Shut up.
What?
Who do you think you are?
You dare to command me?!
Run!
Help!
Quick, save me!!
Help!
Help!!!
Good timing.
That was close.
This is...
Flesh and energy were both drawn out,
the state of this corpse...
That's right.
It's the same as the young master of Mo before.
Ghost.
There's a ghost.
There's a ghost!!
Madame Mo
You stay there.
Don't run around.
Spirit Explusion Array.
They're quite skilled in cultivation at such a young age.
The array was set up earlier on.
Yet there's no damage.
Could it be...?
That thing,
is not a vicious ghost.
If it kills every 7 days,
then it can be ranked as a vicious ghost.
That's the standard set by Yiling Patriach.
While this thing killed two in a row.
its savagery,
is well over a vicious ghost.
That's tricky,
what should we do?
Send the signal.
But even if we send for help,
if there are no senior masters around to assist.
Then...
But that's our only resort.
As disciples of Gusu Lan Clan,
we cannot disregard human lives.
Even if it costs our lives,
we must defend until help arrives.
My luck can't be that bad, right?
If that old acquaintance shows up...
Jingyi,
let's search around.
Yeah.
Oh well,
let's end this quickly.
While I'm stuck with this curse,
I can't leave even if I want to.
It's all healed?
Wait.
Only Mo Ziyuan and A-Tong died.
That means two heals.
So why did the most severe wound disappear?
Unless,
Madame Mo,
is already dead.
Then what has possessed her?
Left hand!
A-Tong's left hand is gone too!
That's weird.
A-Tong just attacked master Mo with his left hand.
As expected.
Left hand,
that's right.
Quick!
Restrain her.
These two boys have pretty fast reaction.
Aww don't leave me alone here~
I'm scared~
My apologies.
You guys subdued her?
Don't you dare hit me again!
She moved!!
Help me!!
Sizhui!
Careful!
Damn lunatic!
Why did you kick me?
I almost got burnt!
It's not me!
The incantations on the robe are useful.
Right now!
Alright.
Formation!
Damn it!
The formation is broken.
They can't halt it.
Wake up.
Plentiful resentful energy.
Good.
Can you recognize the left hand on you mom?
Go shred it.
The brawl of feral zombies?
Now that's new.
They were inert,
but they're zombies now?
Can it be...?
No it can't be him.
Even two freshly altered feral zombies can't bring it down.
What on earth is this demonic hand?
If reinforcements don't arrive,
these boys from Lan Clan are goners.
Should I manipulate those zombies again?
But if I do that,
I will be exposed.

The official manhua of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation,
updates every Saturday!
Over the mountains
across the seas
Under the moon
frost sweeps over my zither
The requiem fades
as I whisper my thoughts to the wind
A cup of Emperor's Smile
for a drunken reverie
Flowers bloom and wilt
fallen leaves gather
Maintaining grace and virtue
with a desolated heart
Arisen from chaos
my sword soars out like a chilling gale
The music ends and crowds disperse
but my sentiments linger
Moments flash by
spring blossoms return
rabbits leap in the Clouds Recesses
Years go by
who still remembers these unrequited feelings?
The night is tender
cold springs ripple
memories surface in my reflections
I play a song
you smile once more
in my dreams
