The leader of the Beimu clan defeated Mount Xuandu's chief disciple, Shen Qiao, resulting in his fall off a cliff and near-death experience. Unfortunately, the cunning and skilled leader of the Cleansing Moon sect, Yan Wushi, discovers him and concocts a wicked plan to transform the compassionate disciple into a bitter cultivator who may one day become a formidable rival. Shen Qiao is thrust into a world of treachery and trickery, a sharp contrast to his once-strong belief that goodness can exist in all. As he endures more hardships that push him to his limits, Shen Qiao must decide whether to uphold his benevolent nature or succumb to Yan Wushi's deceitful scheme.
