Legend of Exorcism: Tianbao Fuyao Lu (Novel) Vol. 6

FOG OF WAR

Freed at last from the Dragon-Quelling Tower, Hongjun and Li Jinglong race to intercept An Lushan’s advancing rebel army. With every city his horde of humans and yao devours, An Lushan’s demonic power swells. If he is allowed to march unchecked to Chang’an, the exorcists fear he will truly become the heavenly demon Mara and raze the mortal world.

Now more than ever, the exorcists are relying on Li Jinglong—both his foolproof plans and the divine power of his heart lamp, their sole weapon against An Lushan until they can secure the six artifacts of Acalanatha. But after suffering Acalanatha’s rejection in the Dragon-Quelling Tower, Li Jinglong’s confidence is badly shaken. Can Hongjun stand to watch Li Jinglong hurl himself recklessly into danger yet again? And if Li Jinglong is not the true heir to Acalanatha’s artifacts, who is?
