In a world brimming with mystery and intrigue, the Heavenly Master Xu Yang is renowned for his extraordinary Taoist skills and his thousand-year-old peach wood sword. However, his reputation is not entirely positive. Within the spectral community, Xu Yang's standing is quite complex, with rumors even suggesting that he once threatened a spirit, prompting the spirit to call the police. Despite this, Xu Yang steadfastly maintains his innocence, claiming that these accusations are utterly baseless.

The story begins with Xu Yang encountering a young man who questions his identity during a ghost-hunting mission. The young man bluntly raises the issue of Xu Yang's reputation and mentions the spirit that called the police. Xu Yang vehemently denies these claims and challenges the young man to bring the spirit forward for a face-to-face confrontation. This scene not only showcases Xu Yang's confidence and determination but also sets the stage for the unfolding narrative.

As the story progresses, Xu Yang gradually uncovers a vast conspiracy behind the negative rumors about him. It turns out that a powerful evil spirit has been manipulating events from the shadows, attempting to tarnish Xu Yang's reputation to weaken his influence in the spectral community and secure more space for its own survival. Realizing this, Xu Yang understands that he must unveil the truth behind this conspiracy to restore his reputation and protect innocent lives.

Throughout this journey, Xu Yang faces not only challenges from spirits but also the complexities of human relationships. He collaborates with a young female journalist to investigate the incident. Initially skeptical of Xu Yang, the journalist gradually comes to admire his courage and wisdom as they endure a series of perilous events together. A budding romance quietly develops between them as they face adversity side by side.

In the end, Xu Yang successfully exposes the true nature of the evil spirit and defeats it in a fierce battle. His reputation is restored, and peace returns to the spectral community. However, Xu Yang knows that evil will never completely disappear from this world, and he must remain vigilant, continuing to guard the peace of this realm.

This Heavenly Master is a bit too arrogant.

Wang Wei glared at Xu Yang. When he and his master had stolen the remains from the cemetery, they'd thoroughly investigated this young man. Twenty-two years old. High school education. Utterly ordinary. Even Mr. Lin from Lushan Dao had confirmed Xu Yang was just a commoner. How could they have anticipated this?

"The jianghu settles its own affairs." Wang Wei spat through bloodied lips. "But using ghostly tricks? Coward!" His muscles bulged as he strained against invisible bonds - the ghost queen's yin energy held him suspended mid-air like a puppet.

Xu Yang strolled closer, flames dancing on his fingertips. "Where are my grandfather's bones?" The heat seared Wang Wei's cheek.

"Gone!" The martial artist laughed hoarsely. "My master took them to Lushan Dao! They're preparing rituals to bind your spectral whore!" His laughter died as cold spectral fingers materialized around his throat.

The ghost queen materialized fully, crimson dress billowing without wind. "Fool." Her voice echoed like temple bells. "Your master's soul still lingers here." She gestured, and the mourning hall's oil lamp flared. A translucent figure coalesced - the dead martial master's spirit, vacant-eyed and moaning.

Wang Wei's defiance cracked. "No... Master..." Tears streaked his bruised face as the ghost queen casually molded his master's soul into a glowing orb, tossing it between her hands like a child's toy.

Xu Yang's fire extinguished. "Last chance. The bones."

"Y-you're wrong!" Wang Wei choked. "That grave... Mr. Lin said... the remains couldn't be your grandfather's!" His eyes darted to the tortured soul-sphere. "He detected residual life essence! Your grandfather... he's not dead!"
