Lu Zhou’s peaceful morning turns into a nightmare when he suddenly awakens in the body of the most feared old villain in the cultivation world. Not only is he incredibly powerful and ancient, but he also possesses nine infamous disciples whose names alone are enough to terrify entire sects. Each of them has committed countless atrocities, shaking the world through bloodshed and ambition.

His eldest disciple, Yu Zhenghai, rules over the terrifying Nether Sect and commands legions of loyal followers. Meanwhile, his second disciple, the infamous Sword Demon, massacres anyone who dares offend him. The worst part? Lu Zhou realizes that his own cultivation has nearly vanished, leaving him weak while surrounded by disciples who could easily destroy him at any moment.

Now trapped in the role of an all-powerful master without the strength to back it up, Lu Zhou must rely on wit, deception, and experience to keep his dangerous disciples under control. Yet while some still fear and respect him deeply, others secretly wish for his downfall.

“I crush every obstacle standing in my path. No one in this world can suppress me except my master,” declares Yu Zhenghai.

“I will never truly feel at peace until my master dies,” admits Si Wuya, the seventh disciple.
