During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates ravaged the southeast, causing unrest in the sea and the loss of life. Liu Shouyuan, a young man from a fishing village, was enjoying life at the knees of his parents, but a sudden and bloody massacre occurred in Baishitan, burning his home and killing his loved ones tragically. In the blood and fire, he was carrying the mysterious green jade pendant that his parents had protected with their lives and the shocking secret entrusted to him by Uncle Chen in the ancestral hall before his death.
Drifting on the sea, hungry and thirsty storms, pirate pursuits, narrow escapes from death; wandering in the salt pile, worldly conditions, bullying and humiliation, struggling to survive. By chance, he met Zhao Tieying, a fierce general of the loyal army, and joined the Qiyun'ao anti-Japanese camp. The military is honed, the bones are tempered with iron and blood, the "Iron Clothes Strength" is practiced, and the killing skills are practiced. During the Battle of Yingchoujian, a mysterious man in black was ambushed during the escort. All the elite members of the Loyalty Army were wiped out. Zhao Tieying shed blood to protect Liu Shouyuan and the jade pendant that was so important to him. He cried blood and warned on his deathbed: "The Loyalty Army... There is a ghost inside!"
The young man is burdened with a blood feud, carrying the blood-stained "Qi Nourishing Technique" secret book and the mysterious jade pendant, carrying the legacy of the deceased and the unsolved shocking secrets, and forging ahead amidst suspicion and loneliness. Where to go? It is the fierce blade of the Japanese pirates, the turbulent undercurrent in the court, the turmoil of the rivers and lakes, and the shocking inheritance of the Mohist mechanism and Taoist mystical skills behind the jade pendant.
The lone sail is far away, and the sharpened sword has just begun to take shape. Liu Shouyuan embarked on a road of revenge paved with blood and paid with hatred. It was also a stunning journey to protect his legacy and uncover an eternal mystery. In the southeast of the beacon smoke, the sword energy soars into the sky. Can the young man keep his true heart in the torrent of troubled times, as if facing an abyss, like walking on thin ice, and finally break through the fog and cleanse the world?
