Ling Changfeng, a young man from Qingcheng Mountain, carries the "Hanchuan" sword forged by a century-old sword demon, carries the military manual left by his father, and follows his master's orders to go to Chang'an, hoping to use the power of the sword to uphold justice and bring long-lasting peace to the world.
On the way down the mountain, he met Su Mochen, a free and uninhibited charlatan, and the two went together. Traveling to the border of Shu, he happened to encounter Zhou Mingyuan, a great scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, who was being chased by the gangsters of the treacherous Prime Minister Yan Song. Ling Changfeng and Su Mochen came to the rescue and learned that the Chang'an court had long been controlled by traitors, loyal people were wronged, and the people suffered.
A fierce battle in an ancient temple intertwined the fate of the three people. With Zhou Mingyuan's warning and the hope of the people in the world, they continued to march towards Chang'an through the dust. The road ahead is long, with swords and swords never stopping, and grievances and hatreds spreading among the rivers, lakes and courts. What kind of storm will the "Hanchuan" sword in Ling Changfeng's hand set off in Chang'an? What kind of legend will the young man's spirit, the madman's unruliness, and the old man's character be written in this game between the rivers and lakes and the court?
