The Farewell Ceremony

The demonic overlord Yin Ci has lived for centuries and is utterly weary of life. He plans to search for the legendary Flesh-Watching Creature in the fabled Ghost Tomb to brew a deadly poison to end himself. To keep a low profile, he snatches a naive master as cover. As a rare genius seen once in a century, Shi Jingzhi is running out of time. He must also seek the Flesh-Watching Creature in the Ghost Tomb to concoct an elixir and cling to life. To ensure a smooth tomb raid, he tricks a pure-hearted disciple into tagging along. The two rivals clasp hands, each inwardly delighted: *Perfect, I’ve fooled them into falling for it.* #Master-and-disciple lifelong journey—whoever gets what they want first loses# #Meeting a fellow actor isn’t scary; the one who drops their mask first loses the game# Desperately clinging to life (gong) × Desperately seeking death (shou) A low-magic xianxia tale. A case of wolves in sheep’s clothing crossing paths, with master and disciple joining forces to wreak havoc (?) upon the world.
