A Faint Soul Stirs the World

Ten years after failing his tribulation, Shen Mo awakens as a faint soul. He finds his once-founded sect in ruins, his disciples slaughtered. The righteous path's excuse: eradicating demonic ways. He seeks revenge but has only a soul left, no body. His sole ability is possession—using others' hands to kill his enemies. Each possession consumes his weak soul force; his revenge has a limited number of uses, after which he dies. Yet when he wields the sword using the body of the Heavenly Sword Sect's chief, the righteous panic. His former followers arrive—a madman with three years to live, willing to trade his remaining life for revenge; a talisman master who owes him a life, ready to build a formation for his soul; a woman holding leverage over the world, laying her intelligence network at his feet; and an accomplice from the massacre, torn between good and evil. Shen Mo doesn't care. This faint soul of his is meant to be burned.
