Synopsis

Chong Xuezhi, young mistress of Chonghuo Palace, leaves her home for the first time to experience the pugilist world and runs into Shangguan Tou, master of the Yueshang Valley. While outside, Chong Xuezhi finds out she has been banished from the palace after their treasured martial arts manual “Nine Techniques of the Lotus God” is stolen, and decides to track down the thief with the help of Shangguan Tou. After going through various trials and tribulations together, the traveling companions profess their love for each other and get married. News spreads that the perpetrator has already mastered the martial arts technique, and is wreaking havoc through jianghu. The main couple discovers that the culprit is, in fact, Mu Yuan, guardian of Chonghuo Palace, and a bloody battle ensues.[2]
