In troubled times, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the brothers are divided with a sword!
In the third year of Qingtai in the later Tang Dynasty, there was a battle in Jin'anzhai. Shi Jingtang led the Khitan cavalry south, and war broke out in the Central Plains.
The evil sect Yan Xuanzong colluded with Khitan Shamanism and raided Guicang Altar in Yunzhou of Shanhe Alliance. When the catastrophe came, the three families of Li Xingyao, Zhang Yanzhou and Chen Nianqiu were destroyed. The three orphans met in the ruins of the troubled times, fled together, and made a pact of revenge.
Nine years later, the rivers and lakes reunited, and the three of them fought side by side, sharing a deep brotherly love. But when a desperate situation suddenly came, Zhang Yanzhou was forced to betray his companions. His old friendship was shattered. He began to question the right path and his character gradually became distorted.
Li Xingyao suffered a fatal disaster and fell off a cliff. He was rescued by the evil sect's father and daughter, and met Bai Muyun. The intrigues of the court were entangled with the fighting in the Jianghu, and Xuanzong of Yan tried to control the martial arts in the Central Plains through the hands of foreigners. The mountains and rivers are in turmoil, and the brothers are at odds. Between hatred and morality, where will they go?
