Jiang Ziya

Years ago, Jiang Ziya, the esteemed head disciple of Jingxu Hall, fought valiantly alongside his master in a brutal conflict against demonic forces, including the formidable Nine-Tailed Fox Demon. Celebrated for being the first to ascend the Stairway to Heaven, he was destined to assume the mantle of a divine leader. However, his final mission to vanquish the Nine-Tailed took an unexpected turn when the demon conjured an illusion of an innocent girl trapped within her. Stricken by doubt, Jiang Ziya chose compassion over duty and released the fox spirit, a decision that led to his banishment to the North Sea, where his divine abilities were sealed until he could overcome the haunting visions of the past.

A decade later, Jiang Ziya finds himself residing in the North Sea with his companion Shen Gongbao and their pet Si Bu Xiang. His life takes an intriguing twist when he encounters Xiao Jiu, a girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to the one from his memory. When she reveals that the bracelet she wears—associated with the Nine-Tailed Fox—holds the key to a mysterious location where black flowers bloom, Jiang Ziya is drawn into a quest for truth. Together, they embark on a daring journey to Mount Youdu, where the revelations they uncover may not only illuminate the shadows of Jiang Ziya's past but also shed light on the historical conflict that changed their world forever.
