Meng Shi

Bár Yan Wushi árulásának fájdalma még friss a szívében, Shen Qiao elszánja magát, hogy megmenti őt a biztos haláltól. Miközben Yan Wushi halálhíre egyre szélesebb körben elterjed, a világot a változás szele kavarja fel. Ahogy Shen Qiao igyekszik meggyógyítani Yan Wushi súlyos sérüléseit, rájön, hogy mennyire nem ismerte a démonnagyurat. A sors azonban nem ad nekik időt, hogy sokáig tétlenkedjenek. Amikor egy régi ismerős felfedi valódi természetét, Shen Qiaónak és Yan Wushinak nincs más választása, mint hogy segítséget nyújtson neki, és elkísérje egy veszélyes küldetésre. Ám ezúttal nem csak az emberektől kell tartaniuk. A hatályos jogszabályok szerint csak 18 éven felülieknek!

Miközben császárok, hadvezérek és királyok viaskodnak a hatalomért, a harcművészeti szekták véres összecsapásokat rendeznek, hogy eldöntsék, ki befolyásolja a nemzetek vezetőit. Shen Qiao, az elbukott és megalázott egykori szektafő a helyes utat keresi ebben a zűrzavaros világban. Az ármányos Yan Wushi személyében pedig meglepő módon társra talál. A ravasz és nagy erejű démoni kultivátor segít Shen Qiaónak újjáépíteni elveszett harci képességeit. Ahogy a két férfi együtt utazik és tevékenykedik, a szelíd taoista mester bátorkodik azt hinni, hogy a hírhedt démonnagyúr a barátságába fogadta. Csakhogy a látszat csal, a régi álnokság pedig friss vért ont. Amíg Shen Qiao veszélyes új ellenségekkel kerül szembe, a Központi-síkságért folytatott küzdelem is lángra lobban. A hatályos jogszabályok szerint csak 18 éven felülieknek!

Yan Wushi, a démoni Huanyue Szekta vezetője valódi mesterkultivátor, briliáns stratéga és gyógyíthatatlan cinikus. Filozófiája szerint minden emberi szívet kegyetlenség és önzés ural. Aki másként gondolja, az vagy hazudik, vagy bolond. A szelíd Shen Qiao a Xuandu-hegy taoista szektájának vezetője. Szerény, könyörületes természet - pontosan az a fajta jótét lélek, akit Yan Wushi annyira megvet. Amikor Shen Qiao egy párbaj során lesújtó vereséget szenved, Yan Wushi véletlenül rátalál a félholt férfira, és kieszel egy tervet, hogy leckét adjon neki az emberiség hitványságáról. Szárnyai alá veszi Shen Qiaót, hitének határait feszegeti, és démoni kultivációra csábítja. Elvégre egy égig érő hegycsúcson könnyű igaznak maradni. De ezer ősznyi gyötrődés a véráztatta földön bárkit megtörne. A hatályos jogszabályok szerint csak 18 éven felülieknek!
