The Records of Mountain and Sea Demon Hunters is set during the Great Qi dynasty, linking the mortal world to the Great Wilderness of ancient legend. Ancient malice corrupts strange beasts, turning them into nightmare beasts. The Xuanpu Alliance, an organization of demon hunters, fights back with the Mountain and Sea Arts, which include the Four Symbols' powers of controlling water, commanding wind, and more.
Cang Xuan, a half-blood of the Qingqiu fox clan, loses his mother when the nightmare beast Qiongqi massacres his village. His younger sister Lingxi is tainted by malice and becomes half nightmare beast. He takes her to join the Xuanpu Alliance, where he meets Chisongzi, who wields the Thunderfire Art, and A Man, who wields the Gale Art. The three travel through the perilous Great Wilderness, awakening their supernatural abilities along the way. Behind it all, the ancient god Zhuyin seeks to gather the Four Symbols' treasures and break the seal on Youdu, restoring primordial chaos.
From a blood oath in Qingqiu to the decisive battle in Youdu, the story weaves together the companions' growth and choices about the will of Heaven, crafting an epic of protection and redemption amid legends of ancient strange beasts.
