Reborn as a Nobody Demon Cultist: My Jade Ring's Secret

Zhang Yu, a modern reader, woke up as a disposable grunt in the notorious Sun Moon Sect, caught in a bloody ambush by the \"righteous\" Five Mountains Sword Sect. Playing dead was his only option – a nameless corpse in a world where true heroes wield god-tier martial arts, and he knew nothing but survival. But a mysterious jade ring, his sole possession from another world, pulsed with hidden power. It sharpened his senses, slowed his breath, and, most crucially, helped him evade death and listen to the secrets of masters like Yue Buqun. Now, with stolen martial arts and a cunning mind, Zhang Yu will navigate the treacherous Jianghu, manipulate heroes and villains alike, and prove that even a 'dead man' can climb the blood-soaked ladder to become the ultimate Demon Leader. But how long can his deceptions last when the true powers of Jianghu awaken?
