Fantasy Tribulation

In the thirteenth year of Yongjinghe's reign, undercurrents surged under the prosperous age. Xiao Zhantian, the loyal general who protected the country, was brutally wiped out because he knew and broke through the witchcraft conspiracy in the Western Regions by the Prime Minister Pei Jian. In a desperate situation, guard Li Zhanchuan fled with the general's only son Gu Chengmo, but his colleague Gu Jinghan risked his life to save him. Gu Jinghan and his eldest son burned themselves and faked their own deaths to deceive the pursuers, leaving their youngest son to be entrusted to Li Zhanchuan to raise. After many years, Li Zhanchuan raised Gu Chengmo and Gu Chengyan in seclusion, and they were considered brothers. Gu Chengmo was deep-minded, unparalleled in wisdom, and was responsible for a blood feud; Gu Chengyan was superior in martial arts, pure-hearted, and righteous in the world. The two set foot in the world due to the tragedy in Zhaoyue Town. During the series of conspiracies at Zhaoyue Gate and Changshun Escort Bureau, they gradually uncovered the mysterious evil Huanluo Mu controlled by the prime minister. They met Yun Zhiyue, a holy woman and the daughter of the current national preceptor. As layers of clues were revealed, the two brothers gradually fell into the chess game carefully laid out by the prime minister. The prime minister intends to use Gu Chengmo's obsession with revenge and the power of the general's old army to overthrow the Great Yong Chaotang. Under the deliberate instigation of counselor Lu You and the erosion of Huan Luo Mu, the obsessed Gu Chengmo gradually turns dark, obsessed with revenge and abandons morality; while Gu Chengyan sticks to his heart, sees through the conspiracy, and protects the stability of his family and country with his own life. The brothers who used to share life and death completely betrayed each other and turned their swords against each other. In order to save their brother from total sinking and break the catastrophe of the evil tree, Yun Zhiyue and Gu Chengyan went to the Western Regions to obtain the holy fruit that can restrain the evil tree. In the end, the two brothers put aside their estrangement and joined forces to make plans, and used the emperor's sacrificial ceremony to overturn the situation and kill the prime minister.
