Guardians of the Ancient Oath

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Yan State was founded by the Murong clan of the Xianbei and the wolf tribe beyond the mainland. The Yan king was young, and political strife among the royal family was intense. A scandal involving an adoptive daughter led to upheaval in the Duke of Zhen's estate. The eldest son, Murong Yan, was executed, the second son, Murong Chen, was exiled, and the adoptive daughter, Murong Yi, was sent back to the Khan of the Wolf tribe, Ming Yefeng, and cast out by the people of Yan. With the aid of evil spirits, Murong Yan, who had faked his death, seeks to reclaim his position and obtain the power of the ancient gods. Murong Chen studies the arts of banishing devils to exact his revenge, and he encounters Murong Yi, who has transformed into a demon. The three siblings, driven by hatred and vengeance, become entangled in a conspiracy that has spanned a thousand years.
