Sword and Fairy 4
Yun Tianhe, a young man who had been living alone on a mountain peak, was on a regular boar hunting trip when he came across the young woman Han Lingsha, from a clan of short-lived tomb raiders, attempting to break into his parents' tomb, culminating in the destruction of the tomb, and setting him on a journey alongside Lingsha to the outside world to uncover his parents' past. On the journey, they encountered and befriended the adopted daughter of the magistrate of Shouyang, Liu Mengli, who seemed to have connections to Tianhe's father, and a skilled and kind swordmaster who trained at Mt. Kunlun's Qionghua School since a young age, Murong Ziying.
