Back in the day, Ruan Zheng, along with Monk Xiao, Shen Tuhong, and others, impulsively slew an overseas independent immortal. They were caught by Dragon Slayer, who bagged them up and delivered them to Qi Shuming at Fishing Rock in the East Sea.
Dragon Slayer, Shen Xiu, had once been restrained by Master Xiao Yue due to her excessive killing nature. She was handed over to Master Chang Mei, who expelled her from his sect, sending her to become a nun under Xin Ru Nun's guidance.
This time, even Qi Shuming could not protect them, expelling them from the sect to experience tribulations outside for over eighty years. Especially Ruan Zheng, who had to reincarnate three times before returning to the sect.
Throughout these three lives, memories would sporadically return at times, while at other times, they would not. Sometimes he felt mutual attraction with Ming Shu; at other times, he was intent on distancing himself.
