Story:
There's a weepful melody coming from a lake where A boat is floating on the water, and the melody seems to be re-telling a bloody story that happened 16 years ago.........in order to steal the "demoniac lute", 6 renown sects surrounded Xue Mei's home. Xue Mei(played by Ning Jing) saw her parents slaughtered, and her little brother Xiao Lin(played by Benny Chan) missing in this midst of killing; Xue Mei carried the "demoniac lute" running toward a deep valley.

16 years later on this same day is "Tian Hu" head Lu Teng-Kong's(played by Gao Feng) day to retire. A mysterious person requests a guarding-transport to be done and the condition is to have Lu Teng conveying a box personally, delivering it to "Han Xun" home in Su-Zhou.

Lu Lin(played by Benny Chan), the young master of "Tian Hu" guarding-transport agency is a driven young man who deceived his parents to accept this business to deliver the box but unbeknwonst to him, the "demoniac lute" lies inside this box.

"demoniac ute" appears in the world once again, many skilled martial art swordsmen have already attempted to steal this box. Lu Teng-Kong and Xi Meng Yi-Niang(played by Gao Feng and Zhang Yan-Bing) order Lu Lin continuing to transport the box while they fight off trespassers. The eldest disciple of "Fierce fire" sect Yue Hua(played by Kimiko) disguises as Lu Lin, asking "Ghost-servant"(played by Li Qin-Long) to steal the fake box while she toys and entraps Lu Lin. In the critical moment, "6 fingered demon of lute" appears helping Lu Lin to steal the box back. On the journey together, Yue Hua falls in love for Lu Lin.

"Ghost servant" returns to "Ghost Palace" to open the box but to find out that the "demoniac lute" is a fake. Thus, "saint of ghost"(played by Duan Qiu-Xu) yells in rage.

Lu Lin meet with Lu Teng-Kong and Xi Meng Yi-Niang delivering the box to "Han Xu" Home. Han Xu and Han Yu-Xia(played by Yu Jian-Guo and Gao Si respectively) accepts the package but discover that the box contains their young master Han Ping's head. So, all of them start fighting each other and Xi Meng Yi-niang dies due to injury. However, all of them realize there's a 6 digits hand print on the box so they all decide to ask "Mr. 6 digits" to get a better understanding of the matter.

Every sect gather together at "Fairy peak" to find "Mr. 6 digit" already dead. Han Ping's head, Left-and-Right Guards, Black-and-White's corpses are already giving everyone an entanglement that's difficult to solve. Then they all start fighting one another due to their own selfish reasons, and Lu Lin arrives a moment later at the peak to find his parents lifeless, thus Lu Lin is overwhelmed by their deaths.

At this time, "Sky Dragon 8 tunes" jangles and "6 fingered demon of lute" is indeed the player. Yue Hua recognizes her as the person who aids Lu Lin to transport the box, causing uproars and fighting from people in each sect. Lu Lin understood that he is used so he hates the "6 fingered demon of lute". "6 fingered demon of Lute" says she is the daughter of Wang Dong, called Xue Mei. Her purpose to cause a bloodbath among the 6 renown sects is to overthrow the martial world's order avenging her parents death. The strength of "Sky Dragon 8 tunes" is so powerful that there is countless deaths on "Fairy Peak". During her fight with Lu Lin, Xue Mei recognizes Lu Lin's birthmark and realizes Lu Lin is her long lost brother. Thus, she carries her lute running away.

Because each sect wants to get rid of "6 fingered demon of lute", they recommend Dong Fang-Bai(played by Chang Cheng) as the martial alliance leader. Xue Mei let Lu Lin know about the cause of their parents' death explicitly but Lu Lin doesn't believe her, accusing her as the murderer who kills his parents instead. Lu Lin asks to be Dong Fang-Bai's disciples, working hard to learn kung-fu and vowing to make a revenge on Xue Mei. "Fierce Fire Founder" and "saint of ghost"(played by Lu Yong and Duan Qiu-Xu) attack "6 fingered demon of lute" together, getting Xue Mei wounded and Lu Lin happens to encounter her at a wounded state, but Lu Lin let her go because his humaneness doesn't allow him to kill her. When every sect learns about Lu Lin letting Xue Mei go, they all acknowledge that Lu Lin is "6 fingered demon of Lute"'s biological brother. In order to prove that Lu Lin is unrelated to "6 fingered demon of Lute", they compel Lu Lin to get the head of "6 fingered demon of Lute". Dong Fang-Bai murders "Saint of Ghost" and frames "6 fingered demon of Lute" for this, so Lu Lin hates Xue Mei even more.

"6 fingered demon of Lute" meets with Dong Fang-Bai, and Dong Fang-Bai expresses candidly that it's difficult to resolve his history with Wang Dong.

Scholor Yun Jun(played by Nicky Wu) who guards the lute has always advised Xue Mei in earnest to discard the demoniac lute, to forget her plan to revenge. Since things are getting ugly, while he worries over Xue Mei may be controlled by the demoniac lute once again, Yun Jun uses all his might to dismantle the demoniac lute and dying after using all his power. Xue Mei painfully grieves over Yun Jun's death.

"Fierce Fire Founder" investigates Dong Fang-Bai's conspiracy so Dong Fang-Bai hunts "Fierce Fire Founder" down to kill him. Yue Hua implores for mercy for her master so Dong Fang-Bai destroys "Firece Fire Founder"'s kung fu instead of killing "Firece Fire founder", compelling Yue Hua to marry him and imprisoning "Firece Fire founder" in a jail simultaneously. Dong Fang-Bai wants to exterminate "6 fingered demon of Lute" with Lu Lin. Xue Mei doesn't want to harm Lu Lin so she doesn't use the demoniac lute, hence injured by them once again.

"Ghost Servant" rescues Yue Hua and they reveal Dong Fang-Bai's conspiracy. Lu Lin attacks Dong Fang-bai with Yue Hua, "Ghost Servant" and Xue Mei, but all of them are injured by Dong Fang-bai with Dong Fang-Bai getting ahold of the demoniac lute.

What's the fate of Xue Mei and Lu Lin's brother and sister life? Will the bloody history of the demoniac lute vanish from now on?
