Duan Tianya was a knight-errant in the martial arts during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. He was known as Mr. Wuhen. He was not only highly skilled in martial arts, he was also good at fighting injustices. At that time, China was the largest and most populous country in the world. Yanjing, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty alone, had a population of one million. The territory reaches Congling in the west, Mongolia in the north, and Vietnam in the south. As the sixty-six-foot-tall Babel Tower, symbolizing the aspiring imperial power, is about to be completed, Emperor Jiajing's ceremony to worship the sky is ready. Everyone knows that "the day the Babel Tower is completed is the day Jiajing becomes an immortal." Unexpectedly, unbelievable murders occurred one after another in the imperial capital of Yanjing. The deceased was poisoned for no reason. Soon, his body became as black as a twig and ashes. What shocked the emperor even more was that almost all of the victims were his cronies who had been promoted after cultivating immortality. Clearly, the murderer was challenging his authority. Emperor Jiajing knew that only by finding the murderer could people be reassured. The head of the six gates, Jin Jiuling, and the commander of Jinyiwei, Ouyang Tianqin, will join hands with Mr. Wuhen to investigate the matter.
