Seven Star Demon-Suppressing Temple

In an old alley of Jiang City, Qi Huo runs an antique shop called Shiyi Zhai, harboring a life-threatening secret—a ruined Seven Star Demon-Suppressing Temple lies sunk in his sea of consciousness. Its eight-hundred-year Dao foundation has collapsed, with only a wisp of incense left; should the temple fall, his soul would scatter. The day he takes in a half piece of bloodstained green stone stele, strange events begin to pile up. The three-hundred-year-old locust tree at the alley's mouth seeps blood at midnight, neighbors suffer nightly from ghost oppression, and Su Zhan from the paper effigy shop across the way comes knocking with a green lantern. Everyone says the Qi and Su families are sworn enemies across generations, destined to clash at first sight. But after weathering a locust demon uprising, the two uncover an eight-hundred-year-old grand deception—far from being enemies, their ancestors had staged a play to expose a mole. The Seven Star Suppression Array uses seven steles to seal seven calamities. Back then, the Ye family ancestor, seeking to seize calamity power, shattered the main Tianshu stele and fled into the mortal world. The Qi and Su families have feigned enmity for generations, guarding the Seven Star Master Map in a joint tomb for eight hundred years. Now, Ye Cangzhou, a descendant of the Ye family, returns bearing eight hundred years of grudges, using locust demons as soldiers and evil spirits as blades to break the Seven Star seals and unleash primordial chaos calamities upon the world. One temple suppresses evil, one lantern ferries souls. Qi Huo guards this ruined temple, turning evil spirits into incense, and from half a broken wall, rebuilds the Seven Star altar. Seven steles, two generations of guardians, eight hundred years of enmity. This game is the final move of the ancestors' scheme and the beginning of the Seven Stars' return. — Description from novelcodex.org
