In this movie, Hong Dali could almost be said to have selected all of the classic scenes from the five novels by Mister Jin Yong. It started with the protagonist's family being killed—this storyline was taken from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," in which the main character Lin Pingzhi's family was also destroyed. The motive of the enemies was to get their hands on protagonist Duan Wuji's family's secret manual, "Sword Manual of Exorcism"!
The background music played through high-quality speakers was suppressed, hasty, and created a relatively heavy atmosphere on the entire opening of the movie. Meanwhile, the protagonist Duan Wuji was an optimistic person. Though he'd witnessed his family being killed, he did not give up because of that, and instead, strove for improvement and worked hard in practicing martial arts.
