In Minghe county of the Long Empire lies the Mo family. It controls the complete eastern part of the county and is one of three big families of Minghe county along with Luo and Wei.
Mo Dao the second son of the patriarch Mo is one of the rising stars of the young generation in the county. Being doted on by both his parents and elder brother his life was easy and given his high talent in martial arts the whole family had great expectations from him.
But for a few days, the gentle and cheerful young master was nowhere to be seen instead he had cold eyes and a gloomy expression all the time as if this world owed him money.
At the same time inside one of the mansions of the Mo family, a woman was lying flat on the bed and a man was pumping above her. Both their sweat mixed with the faint-inducing scent of incense created an erotic atmosphere. After a final push, the man unloaded with a satisfied expression. A while later the woman hurriedly tidied herself and left the room.
The man was naturally Mo Dao. A week ago he transmigrated into this body, first he was bewildered but as he recovered memories of this body his complexion withered. In his previous life, he was a single 35-year-old man. Of course, he wasn't a virgin he had tasted the fruit of youth but didn't want to commit himself to someone else or rather he liked being alone. He had a 58-year-old mother. Now that he thinks about it since he died what would happen to his mother? Thinking about it his mood became worse. He did leave a lot of money and his sisters will take care of his mother but that still hit him hard.
What makes this all even more incomprehensible is the white panel before his eyes. Ever since he opened his eyes it was with him. A half-black-n-white mask is above and below a single line [HARVEST A SOUL].
It's asking him to murder. Since then he has always felt angry and irritated no matter how much he tries to calm himself. The whole world feels unfamiliar to him but he sustained himself somehow and no one dared to doubt him either.
When he saw first the panel he was very angry but soon as he learned more about this world he felt as if a cold basin of water was poured on him.
This world is a Martial Arts world with individuals strong enough to shatter mountains and dive into volcanos. But that's just weak ones the strong ones can change the laws of the world and eradicate millions with a wave of the hand. There are also stories of how monarchs conquered other worlds and defeated extraterrestrial demons. Destruction of countries by natural and man-made disasters wasn't a new scene.
In this world power of a single individual mattered more than an organised mob. Alliances only work for equal powers.
Thinking about all these things Mo Dao stood up and a servant helped him wear the black robe. Going out of the room he went towards the courtyard. A rough-looking man with a dark complexion was sitting there sipping tea. As soon as he saw Mo Dao he cupped his hands and said
"Greetings master Dao"
"Guard Chen, have you made the preparations "
" As patriarch ordered the arrangements have been made, the carriage is waiting outside"
"Let's go" taking his sword from a servant Mo Dao strode out. Today Mo Dao was going to the prison house of the Mo Family.
Mo Dao didn't have any good feelings for his 'relatives' so two days ago Mo Dao decided to confront his father Mo fang that he wanted to kill someone. Mo Fang was first startled then overjoyed. Mo Dao also persuaded him saying he wanted to experience blood and he was bored of learning martial arts, well if something like this was spoken to a 20th-century father then the son would've lost a layer of skin. But Mo Fang naturally agreed as the patriarch of a big family multiple times he has shed blood like water. Sooner or later this day was going to come. Mo Fang had decided to gift his son his first kill on his 18th birthday but he was happy that he grew up sooner. Mo Dao even surpassed his brother in this aspect.
After a dozen of streets, the carriage stopped before a Black Building. Soon he was led inside by guard Chen. Soldiers of the Mo family could be seen patrolling around. Groans and curses could be heard from cells from time to time. Guard Chen led Mo Dao to the inner cells, after 3 minutes of walking they reached the cell. Inside was a skinny young man with his legs and hand bound to the wall with chains. Unlike other prisoners, there was a gag in his mouth.
"His name is Bai Junyun a direct descendent of the Bai family, a few days ago he stealthily met the patriarch and wanted us to escort him to Youzo, it's a pity his chips weren't high enough and he even threatened the patriarch."
"There won't be any repercussions, right"
"Don't worry he offended the gang leader of Violet thunder gang even if he dies we won't be suspected"
Mo Dao asked a few questions and got the gist of things. Bai family is from Youzo county and unlike Minghe county it is controlled by a single bai family. Bai Junyun is a disciple of the Black Saber Martial sect on his way from the sect he kidnapped a woman and forcibly violated her. The woman turned out to be the lover of a Hall master of Violet Thunder Gang. To console his confidant Gang Leader ensued a manhunt against Bai Junyun.
With a shining saber light, the head flew up leaving a fountain of blood. But Mo Dao just stood there in a daze cause the panel which was stagnant ever since he came into this world started changing.
