The second son of the great Sect Lang of Southern Liang is assassinated on his way to Nothern Qi. However... Unbeknownst to all... He had not died... But a soul from another world had transmigrated into his body. And he had been taken under the wing by the formidable Poison Master. This is the story of a bastard. An unfortunate soul who had been sacrificed in a string of conspiracies. Betrayed by the closest, forsaken by his kins, having his companions slaughtered one after another... A good-for-nothing bastard who slowly yet steadily rises from the very beginning... This is the story of an abandoned son, a vengeful soul who defies all the rules set by several generations of great cultivators and sets on a path no other disciple had ever dared before. And reaches the pinnacle of power. And somewhere, along the ruthless struggles for survival, loses his humanity... And becomes a bloodthirsty shell of what he actually was. . . . Until a long time after, 'someone certain' from his past life appears and brings him back.
