Seven Seas provides the following volume summary:
THE DEMONIC AND THE DIVINE
After returning at long last to Chang’an, the exorcists brace for An Lushan’s attack on the city. Li Jinglong lies injured and unconscious, his heart lamp lost, while the six artifacts of Acalanatha have yet to be recovered. As Hongjun and his companions scramble to evacuate the emperor and citizens from the besieged city, it seems no one has the power to stop An Lushan’s monstrous army of demonic soldiers.
Everything hinges on Li Jinglong. If he can’t reawaken the heart lamp before it’s too late, Hongjun will have no choice but to counter An Lushan by becoming the heavenly demon Mara, absorbing all suffering of the mortal world into himself. If Li Jinglong still hopes to save Hongjun from his dark fate, he must return to the beginning of everything—and seek salvation in the forgotten depths of their past.

Legend of Exorcism
天宝伏妖录
[Synopsis Provided by Seven Seas Entertainment:]
In the mystical Taihang Mountains, where magic flows and powerful yao roam, Hongjun has grown up sheltered from the human world. A half-yao himself, he’s never had reason to leave—until the mountain’s ruler sends him on a dangerous mission: hide his true nature and join the Great Tang Department of Demonic Exorcism in Chang’an.
Upon arriving in the bustling capital, Hongjun meets Li Jinglong, a luckless soldier with no spiritual power tasked with leading a team of extraordinary exorcists. Together, they and their enigmatic companions must face the dark forces threatening the city. But as a bond begins to bloom between Hongjun and Li Jinglong, Hongjun wonders: Can he trust Li Jinglong with the truth of who—and what—he is?
