[No Pairings] After the war between gods and demons, the Cangming Celestial Realm collapsed, and demonic miasma spread across the land of Fuzhou.
The sect leader of the Buguimen led his disciples into battle against the demons and died, leaving behind only a pair of siblings trapped within the mountain gate by a cloud-and-mist barrier. Three years later, with the barrier about to break, Wen Ling took up her sword and Wen Lin carried his talismans. They descended the mountain with the scriptures and magical artifacts their master had left behind.
They began by slaying a wolf demon in Luoyan Village, vowing, "Slay every demon we see, protect every person we meet." In Cangqing Town, peach-pink demonic mist was spreading, and a hundred-year-old sanctuary had long since become a fox demon's lair. There, the siblings met Yue Shuming, a wandering musician who played the flute. The three joined forces to break the demonic incense and slay the fox spirit, then set off together on a journey to hunt demons.
Over the next five years, they traveled through Broken Ridge Mountain, along the Luo River, and into the miasma-filled forests of the southern frontier. They slew man-eating tiger demons, stopped river demons from flooding the land, and rescued countless refugees. Wen Ling's sword was always at the forefront, Wen Lin's talismans sealed off every escape route, and Yue Shuming's flute always found a glimmer of hope between demons and human hearts.
Until, on the snowy plains of the northern border, an envoy of the fox clan under the Demon Emperor knelt before everyone and uttered the title that had been hidden for years: Young Lord of the Dongping Fox Demons.
Yue Shuming's identity was revealed.
He was no human musician, but a descendant of fox demons who refused to submit to the Demon Emperor. The demon clans whom the world regarded as born abominations were being hunted by the demon forces because they refused to slaughter living beings. Faced with the truth, should the Wen siblings trust the demon-slaying swords in their hands, or the companion who had fought alongside them all this way?
As the Demon Emperor's iron cavalry tramples mountains and rivers, the true enemy finally bares its fangs.
In this war against the demons, where humans and demons alike fight side by side, the three will begin at Buguifeng and swear an oath to all the people of Fuzhou, fighting their way down a path no one dares to take
