At first, when I surveyed the world,
I saw it filled with heroes and men of greatness.
When I looked upon it again,
I found them nothing but a rabble.
This realm and its countless people—
rather than entrust them to you,
I would sooner seize it for myself!

Young Li Chi, following his master Chang Mei, wandered the martial world from a young age, learning chivalry and courage despite the chaotic times. Before his death, Chang Mei sent Li Chi to the Siye Academy in Jizhou City. Upon entering the academy, Li Chi suffered humiliation, but he resisted the bullying with his wisdom and courage, winning the attention of Xia Hou Zhuo, the son of Prince Yu, and the two became friends.
Xia Hou Zhuo, ambitious and aspiring, was betrayed by his elder brother, but Li Chi rescued him from danger. Xia Hou Zhuo introduced Li Chi to the Qingyi Formation, where he uncovered the bounty hunters’ conspiracy during missions, gaining the trust of various factions and rescuing the rebel leader Yu Chao Zong. Facing internal crises within the Yanshan Camp, Li Chi resolved them one by one.
When a neighboring northern country invaded, Li Chi supported the front lines, defeating the enemy alongside Xia Hou Zhuo and earning the appreciation of Prince Wu. Prince Yu, wary of Li Chi, took advantage of Prince Wu’s southward campaign against bandits to send a military governor to frame Li Chi, but Li Chi devised a plan to eliminate Prince Yu’s henchmen. Prince Yu wanted to take revenge but was entangled in the war.
Li Chi faked his death and escaped. Li Chi sought help from Yanshan Camp, but Yu Chao Zong was defeated and killed. Li Chi then reorganized Yanshan Camp. Prince Yu took sole control of Jizhou. For the safety of the people of Jizhou, Li Chi led a large army to the city and was determined to stop the war and protect the stability of Jizhou.
