During the Republican era, Long Qi (later renamed Long Yuan), the only survivor of the Long family of Xiangxi water prohibition masters, to avenge the extermination of his family, teamed up with geologist Jiang Yue, Gu sorceress Hong Gu, and others to successively break seven evil arrays and confront his junior uncle Shen Heting, who had defected to the Japanese Nine Chrysanthemums faction. In the process of cracking the 'Dragon Locking Array' and guarding the dragon vein, Long Qi discovered the betrayal and redemption of his adoptive father Ya Shu, and rallied Xiangxi sorcerers such as corpse lifters, Gu kings, and feng shui masters to establish the 'Water Master Alliance'. Ultimately defeating the Nine Chrysanthemums leader, expressing mutual feelings with Jiang Yue, and welcoming the Nine Chrysanthemums saintess who claimed to be his 'sister', it portended the arrival of an even greater storm.
