Thirty years ago, the Fire Feather, one of the Four Divine Artifacts, also known as the Phoenix Golden Feather, appeared out of nowhere. It was obtained by the head of the Chi Ming Sect, and soon became famous throughout the martial world. With it, he founded the greatest sect of the time: the Chi Ming Sect.
After an unexpected separation in his youth, Feng Siyu became the successor to the Phoenix Golden Feather through a twist of fate.
Feng Siyu, his sworn elder brother Ye Fengche, and He Buyu were as close as real brothers.
The three brothers set out to find the culprit who had tried to kill their master, following the killer's trail and each encountering their own adventures along the way.
He Buyu was the second son of the martial world's alliance leader, and was determined to make a name for himself and inherit the position. Ye Fengche wanted to honor his father's dying wish by rebuilding the Moyun Manor, his sect. Feng Siyu, meanwhile, hoped to find his birth parents.
While searching for the culprit, Feng Siyu killed hundreds of people in a fit of rage over his father's death. The incident drove the three apart, turning them into enemies.
By then, Feng Siyu had been gravely wounded. He left in despair and headed for the border. After learning the truth, Ye Fengche went looking for him and rescued him when the enemy army was closing in.
But under the schemes of the mastermind behind it all, the various martial sects grew ever more dissatisfied with Feng Siyu's conduct. Pressured by circumstances, He Buyu led them in a hunt for Feng Siyu. When Feng Siyu learned of it, he tricked Ye Fengche into leaving and faced them alone. After that battle, the world believed Feng Siyu was dead.
Eight years later, Feng Siyu returned...
