Tang Lici, a man whose sense of justice and evil is hard to define, is betrayed by a former friend and forced into the Fengliu Parlor's conspiracy to overthrow the martial world. With a cold, commanding gaze upon all under heaven, he uses the foreign martial art "Rebirth Codex" to secretly investigate the Thirteen Towers, outwit the Jianwang City, form an alliance with the Biluo Palace, and ultimately take charge of the Sword Society of the Central Plains to confront the Fengliu Parlor. Along the way, he forges deep bonds with Chi Yun, Shen Langhun, and others, and is moved by the chivalrous heroes' willingness to risk their lives for the sake of the common people. In the end, Tang Lici chooses to shoulder the mission of protecting the future of the martial world.
