The world has been in chaos for over 300 years. The Central Plains is filled with music and dance, while foreign tribes sharpen their weapons and prepare for war. Jianxian (sword immortals) roam the Jianghu (martial arts world), and renowned generals suppress rebellion from all directions. Five years remain before the world descends into complete chaos. A young pharmacist, Li Guanyi, commits murder one rainy night. He opens his eyes to a world of war and strife. Underneath the horses' hooves lie countless bones; generals, beauties, Jianghu figures, divine weapons, commoners, and Buddhas. Only white bones and yellow sand remain! Confucian scholars are crushed under iron hooves, and Buddhas are swept away by long spears! I, Li Guanyi, invite this world to its death!
