The Ghost-Faced Lord escapes from Kunlun Mountain, killing the Kunlun Sect's master. Before his death, the master tells his eldest disciple, Ye Tian, that only by uniting with a woman of pure Yin energy can he defeat the Ghost-Faced Lord. Ye Tian goes undercover to Jiangnan City, where he encounters and saves Lin Yan'er, a woman of pure Yin energy. Lin Yan'er asks Ye Tian to help her family rise again. Ye Tian agrees and helps the Lin family regain their former glory, eventually empowering Lin Yan'er to take control of the family. Despite facing numerous doubts along the way, Ye Tian overcomes prejudice with his strength. He ultimately unites with Lin Yan'er, defeats the Ghost-Faced Lord, and seals him beneath Kunlun Mountain.
