In a fictional ancient wuxia world, the jianghu is dotted with sects, from orthodox schools like Shaolin and Wudang to sinister groups like the Blood Demon Hall and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. The imperial court rules the realm, but the jianghu's powers are deeply entrenched, and conflicts arise from time to time. Every five years, the martial world holds the Swordsmanship Tournament to choose the greatest expert under heaven, an event that draws widespread attention.
