The feared Holy Hand, Mu Tianhou, met a sudden and mysterious end, shaking the entire martial world. In the aftermath, fate brought together two upright disciples—Zheng Dongting and Zu Beiqiu, better known as the “Waste Chai Brothers.” Bound by loyalty and brotherhood, they set out not only to help Zu Beiqiu find the wife he had been separated from for ten long years but also to uncover the truth behind their master’s murder.
Their quest soon drew the attention of unlikely allies—a sharp-witted constable and a carefree but resourceful young heir—who joined them on a dangerous journey across the Central Plains. Their mission: to deliver a divorce letter. But when they reached the Luo family estate in Yangzhou, they found only tragedy. A brutal massacre had taken place, and the blame fell upon them. Labeled as the “Twin Evils of the Central Plains,” the brothers became fugitives, hunted by the very martial world they once sought to protect.
Zheng Dongting, burdened with unparalleled skills he dared not use, and Zu Beiqiu, cursed with techniques that never seemed to succeed, struggled to clear their names. Yet, with each step, they found themselves deeper entangled in schemes, betrayals, and rivalries that split the righteous factions apart.
From the bloody clash at Shuyu Tower to the desperate night battle in Shezhou, and the tense showdown at Juyi Hall, the brothers faced danger at every turn. Slowly, a vast conspiracy revealed itself—one that threatened not only them but the balance of the martial world itself.
At last, during the grand Luoyang Sword Contest, Zheng Dongting was forced to break his oath and unleash his divine blade, Mantianxing, in a final duel against the scheming Gong Tianying. His victory earned the forgiveness of the martial factions, who finally saw the truth.
But their journey was far from over. With the shadows of the Kunlun Demon Cult looming large, the brothers set their sights on Tianshan, determined to confront the fearsome cult leader, Honghua, and finally avenge their fallen master.
