Legend of Exorcism: Tianbao Fuyao Lu (Novel) Vol. 5 (Legend of Exorcism (Novel))

As the Tang capital of Chang’an teeters on the edge of a grand celebration, the shadows of treason lengthen. An Lushan’s insidious plot to dismantle the city from within unfolds, forcing the Exorcism Department into a desperate race against time. Mergen, acting as a deep-cover operative, surrenders his heart to the influence of a heavenly demon to infiltrate the enemy ranks, while his nightly, dream-walking connection with Lu Xu weaves a dangerously intimate bond that threatens to blur the lines between duty and desire.

At the center of this gathering storm, Li Jinglong struggles to coordinate his team against the encroaching darkness. With the malevolent black jiao, Xie Yu, poised to unleash chaos upon the Divine Land, the stakes escalate from political espionage to a fight for the soul of the empire. When their mission begins to unravel, Li Jinglong faces an impossible choice: he must protect the young Hongjun from the corrupting touch of demonic forces, even if it requires channeling a forbidden, volatile power that risks his own life.

Amidst shifting alliances and ancient malice, the Exorcism Department finds that the greatest threat may not be the enemy without, but the fragility of their own humanity.
