   Summary

   Shen Jiu, an omega rogue cultivator who has spent his life disguised as a beta, only wanted to complete a hunt and be done with it.
   Instead, he ends up sharing his path with an arrogant cultivator from a powerful sect, chasing a sickness neither of them understands.
   The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: this is not just a hunt.
   And some pasts do not stay buried. Nor dead.
