My Years as the Lord of the Evils Abyss
Li Wen Jiu
Su Yu is blind, missing one of his three souls. Since childhood, without parental care, he endured bullying within his family. The only thing of value he possessed was a spiritual marriage contract with the prodigy of the Gu family from Xize. On the day he came of age, the contract was destroyed, stripping him of his last shred of usefulness to his family. Pushed off a cliff, he plummeted into the abyss. The fall cost Su Yu his memories—but awakened his innate Spirit Eye. In the desolate wilderness, within eerie, mist-shrouded towns... lay the graveyards of wandering souls. The ghosts eyed their new prey—a blind, mortal man with delicate features and fair skin, almost too beautiful. But as they bared their fangs, they unwittingly became the blind man’s underlings. Clad in tattered clothes, his dull eyes seemingly unfocused, Su Yu spoke with icy detachment: "Want to redeem yourselves? Simple—work off your sins." The ghosts soon learned that "redemption" meant: Minor sins in life? Ten years of labor. Major sins? A lifetime of servitude. Their ruthless boss didn’t just capture ghosts—he also nabbed demonic beasts from the neighboring Immortal Spirit Realm, and eventually, even the top disciple of Tianlu Mountain! * Gu Zizhou of Xize, Tianlu Mountain’s foremost disciple, was a revered young Sword Immortal, celebrated across the cultivation world. But after a sudden downfall, schemed against by enemies, he fell into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils. When he opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by a few wandering spirits, expertly jotting notes with brushes and ink. "Place of origin? What evils have you committed? Did you slip or were you pushed by enemies?" "You fool, clearly he was pushed by enemies. This kind won’t last long as labor—the boss might even lose money on him." "Boss, over here! A new recruit—take a look!" Gu Zizhou glanced up and saw a striking young man in fiery red robes, his eyes veiled by a gauze, his skin deathly pale. At the sight of him, the spiritual contract buried deep in Gu Zizhou’s soul trembled. The blind youth asked, "How does he look?" A minor ghost replied, "Boss, passable. Could work as a gatekeeper in our Abyss of Ten Thousand Evils." Gu Zizhou: "?" P.S.: 1. Emotionally detached bottom x Sword Cultivator top.
