Synopsis

In the final years of the Tang dynasty, rebel leaders Huang Chao, Wang Xianzhi, and Lin Mo are driven out of Chang’an by a counterattack led by Li Keyong’s Tang army. Exhausted and outnumbered, they are defeated in Tiger-Wolf Valley. Before they die, Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi give Lin Mo a jade pendant carved as a phoenix in emerald, telling him it is the key to a hidden treasure cave on Yulong Mountain. Then they take their own lives. Heartbroken, Lin Mo secretly buries them where they fell, takes the pendant, and retreats to a secluded life in the mountains. Twenty-five years later, Zhu Wen’s usurpation plunges the land into even greater chaos. The people are destitute and their grievances fill the air. Heroes from across the martial world gather once more, and word of the Emerald Phoenix’s secret spreads throughout the jianghu. In the struggle to claim the treasure of Yulong Mountain, the jade pendant becomes the cause of one duel after another.
