General of the Chu country Ging Lit (Michael Tong) and his strategist Sim Mo Che (Moses Chan) are sparring partners, but because of an affair between Lit's wife Suet Kei (Jade Leung) and Che a rift and a battle to the death ensues. Che dies; Lit's soul becomes a vengeance spirit; Kei's spirit is buried inside a terracotta figure.

The spirit of Lit roams around heaven and earth for a thousand and more years, until the time of the first Ming emperor Chu Yuen Cheung's battle at Fan Yeung Lake where he absorbs the power of many innocent souls and becomes the king of the evil spirits. When San Sap Long (Kwan Tak Fai) is born, an auspicious cloud falls and his family realize that he is something special. Long is a little slow, but this is because he has been chosen by the heavens to be the one to defeat Lit and therefore have closed his senses off to avoid him being affected by evil spirits. Many years later, Lit has been reading the stars and has found a force which is working against him, he decides to investigate this. Lit arrives at Long's home and finds his mother Shui Fu Yung (So Yuk Wah) is a fairy with whom he has had an affair with in the past. Lit forces her to see him, but she rejects his request and causes his wrath in which he murders Long's family; as Yung commits suicide, she lies to Lit and says that Long is his son, saving his life.

Long later receives the charmed waters of the heavenly spring and his senses open up, he then realises that he was Che in a former life! When Lit finds out that Long is his arch enemy, his anger grows and despite having a golden body to protect him, Long is no match for Lit and his soul is knocked out of his body. If he does not return within seven days, his soul will disintigrate into ash and smoke...
