Xie Qiwu is an inner disciple of Qitong Mountain Manor, ranked among the top of the Immortal Cultivation Prodigy List. Cool and aloof, decisive in battle, he is a young sword cultivator revered by the righteous sects.
No one knows that beneath his cold, resolute heart lies a blood feud so deep it has scarred him for life.
When he was young, a horrific demon calamity destroyed his entire village. His closest family and kin all perished, leaving only scorched earth and corpses. At death's door, he was lucky enough to be rescued by the sect leader, who brought him back to the immortal mountains. From then on, he cast aside all distractions and devoted himself to grueling cultivation day and night. With the sword as his bones and hatred as his soul, he swore to slaughter every demon under heaven, purge the world of every evil creature, and avenge his family, who had died so tragically.
Through the long years of cultivation, in the cold, lonely life among the immortal mountains, Ruan Qiaoting was his one exception, his one source of tenderness.
She was the bright, carefree junior sister of their sect, full of life, spirited and forthright, like a spring breeze in the mountains or wild grass by the water. She healed the years of pain he had endured. Xie Qiwu sheltered her beneath his wings, gave her all his affection, and promised to protect her for life, so she would want for nothing year after year.
Everyone believed Ruan Qiaoting was innocent, pure, and carefree, never knowing that she had sealed away a secret deep in her heart, one no one had ever uncovered.
They spent peaceful years by each other's side, while the threads of fate quietly intertwined.
Ordered to investigate a village plagued by strange demonic energy, the two set out from the mountain and pursued the truth behind the demons' rampage, layer by layer. As one secret after another came to light, the divide between good and evil came crashing down, and entanglements hidden for a thousand years in the cultivation world slowly emerged.
And the secret Ruan Qiaoting had buried for years could no longer be kept from the senior brother who had been by her side day and night.
He hated every demon in the world, and for half his life had been consumed by obsession, making vengeance through demon-slaying his life's ambition;
She concealed every trace of her past, endured in silence for years, and bore a bond no one knew about.
When a blood feud collides with the love of a lifetime, and the righteous path's convictions clash with the truth of fate,
Every demon under heaven may be slain. She alone is the one destination he cannot bear to lose or leave behind, even after a lifetime of searching.
