The Republic of China era is a time of turmoil, with the world teetering on the brink. Chen Yuan was orphaned at the age of twelve and struggled to survive in hardship. One stormy night, a bolt of lightning split open the courtyard of his home, revealing a mysterious ancient book. From that moment on, Chen Yuan embarked on an extraordinary journey into the study of Maoshan Taoist arts.
At sixteen, eager to pursue deeper Taoist arts and broaden his horizons, Chen Yuan packed his bags and left his hometown to venture into the martial world. Along the way, he met Lin Yu, a chivalrous man who stood up for the helpless. Sharing the same ideals, they traveled together. They heard all kinds of strange tales on the road, from a demon fox haunting Linjiang County to zombies running rampant in an ancient tomb in Qingping Village, and used their skills to overcome each crisis.
At a crucial moment in their battle against the zombies, Su Yao, a disciple of the Maoshan Sect, made a stunning entrance. The three of them joined forces to defeat the zombies and found a powerful secret manual in the tomb. Afterward, Su Yao joined their party. As Chen Yuan and Su Yao spent time together, feelings began to blossom between them, adding a touch of sweetness to their adventure.
But the martial world is treacherous and full of danger. When they learned that a powerful demon had appeared at Luohun Ridge and was terrorizing the people, they resolutely set out to confront it. Facing a terrifying demonic apparition resembling a black panther with nine heads, the three were plunged into a bitter fight.
As they grow stronger, Chen Yuan and his companions must contend not only with all manner of zombies and demons, but also uncover the many conspiracies lurking behind them. Chen Yuan has never forgotten his resolve to avenge his parents. As their adventures go deeper, he draws ever closer to the truth, but the dangers ahead grow increasingly unpredictable. How will they repeatedly escape peril and forge their own legend in the fantastical martial world of the Republic of China era?
