Hong Xiguan is betrayed by his fellow disciple Ma Ning'er (played by Ji Chunhua), leading to the death of his family at the hands of traitors. Fortunately, his young son Wen Ding (played by Xie Miao) avoids the disaster, and after Hong Xiguan kills Ma Ning'er, he and Wen Ding wander the world. The father and son encounter the con artist Zhu Xiaoqian and her daughter Hong Dou, leading to a series of events.

He kills the leader of the Tiandihui and pursues the five children...
