Thirty years ago, the Demonic Sect and the orthodox schools were evenly matched, locked in a constant struggle. Qin Xin Pavilion, regarded as the foremost of the orthodox schools, took in a peerless disciple named Luo Nanshu. Little did anyone know that Luo Nanshu would unleash decades of bloodshed across the martial world. He founded the demonic sect Flowering Between the Blossoms, a sect unlike any other. The Heartslaying Hall and Bone-Eroding Hall soon rose as well. Before long, one orthodox sect after another was wiped out, and all the orthodox schools were plunged into panic. Even when they fought back, they could never find a weakness to exploit.
Ten years later, Luo Nanshu and his second wife suddenly vanished. His first wife died soon afterward, leaving behind their only son, who suffered from a debilitating illness. The world changed in an instant, and the demonic sect was pushed to the brink of ruin. They say Luo Nanshu's son was an even more formidable martial artist than his father, but he had been born with an illness that made his whole body feel as if it were being devoured by thousands of insects whenever it flared up, causing unbearable pain. Every renowned physician was helpless, and all predicted he would not live past twenty-five. There was a way to cure the illness, but it required the heart of a Purple-Feathered Divine Phoenix. Such a creature was almost impossible to find. They say that only a ten-thousand-year-old lingzhi growing amid the flames of the Nine Heavens could lure it out. The only person they could place their hopes in was the Medicine Immortal Chenxing. But Chenxing had also been missing for many years...
