## Synopsis

Mt Shu is the pugilistic world's number 1 sect for many years. In order to protect the world from harm, the Sect Leader Zhuge Yuwo placed the enchanted gem into Ding Yin's body to prevent the green-clothed reverent, Shangguan Jingwo from stealing it over. Ding Yin then later went under Mt Shu to practice his sword skills, aiming to be Mt Shu's best disciple and seek revenge on Lu Pao. He meets Lu Pao's daughter, Yu Wuxin, by chance and realizes that she looks exactly like his deceased wife. The two fell in love. At the same time, the inner conflicts within Mt Shu starts to unravel itself, and a disaster is about to fall upon the pugilistic world. Ding Yin, together with his sect mates Dan Chenzi, Zhuge Ziying, Zhou Qingyun and his sworn brother Xiaozhang, set on a journey to prevent the disasters from happening. However, they instead fall into a more sinister plot, leading to everyone's relationships to fall apart.
