Although Wei Wuxian had every intention to live peacefully without drawing attention to himself, a case about a ghost arm pulls him back into events from 13 years ago…and the man whom he once thought was his enemy.

Mo Dao Zu Shi donghua is available to watch on Viki and YouTube while the audio drama is accessible through Miss Evan. The novel series has been translated by Seven Seas Entertainment with the publisher releasing the manhua adaptation as well.
