Quanzhi Fashi V

After the dangerous power of his demon transformation leaves him near death, Mo Fan needs the soul of a giant lizard to restore himself. With Zhang Xiaohou and Li Man beside him, he returns to human form and later travels to Song City, where the appearance of an enormous snake places him in the middle of another crisis.

Mo Fan learns from Tang Yue that the snake is a guardian tied to her people, yet a spreading plague and a devastating White Eagle attack turn public fear against the creature. Refusing to accept an easy scapegoat, Mo Fan searches for the real source of the disease and an antidote while trying to protect the snake from those determined to kill it.
