In Chang An, capital of Tang - the most powerful empire in the continent - General Lin Guangyuan's Manor was unjustly massacred by a great general. The sole survivor who managed to escape amidst the incident was a young boy named Ning Que. He survived in the wilds through his wits and committing murder.

In his quest for revenge, Ning Que hones his fighting skills and is determined to become a cultivator; a powerful warrior trained in martial and mystical arts.

Eventually, Ning Que becomes part of the entourage of Princess Li Yu as she travels back to Chang An, which leads him and Sang Sang to many wondrous adventures. Will Ning Que succeed in his quest for revenge, will Sang Sang's illness be treated, and will the ancient prophecy ever be realized?
