Ye Lingtian and his mother Zhou Qingxue were hunted when he was young, but fortunately his godmother He Wenqian sacrificed her life to save them. Twenty years later, Ye Lingtian has become the world-famous "Emperor of Darkness". He returns to Jiangcheng to repay his kindness, find his mother, and take revenge. He happens to be engaged to He Wenqian's daughter Chen Xiaoran. After curing Chen Xiaoran's leg, Chen Xiaoran and Chen Guiyuan despised Ye Lingtian, typical of ungratefulness. In order to protect Chen Xiaoran, Ye Lingtian happened to meet the son of Lei Liehu, the enemy who hunted his mother and son. Chen Xiaoran and Chen Guiyuan blamed Ye Lingtian for dragging down the Chen family and drove Ye Lingtian out of the house. Ye Lingtian mobilized 180,000 masters to destroy Zhongyi Villa, shocking the whole city.
