In the distant future, at a crucial moment, a message through time and space is sent by a flickering figure: "We're finished, Yin-Yang Guests. I've used the last of my strength to freeze time in the past. My powers are gone. I'll send a warning when the moment comes. Wu Yao! This time, you damn well better hold on! There won't be another chance!" The message travels back through time, though it's unclear whether it will reach its destination safely. The last hope comes from the future. How ironic!
An ancient ruin in the old city of Jiuxiang, now known as Tanhou Village, is where the story begins. Will Wu Yao manage to turn things around? We'll have to wait and see.
