The series is based on the Heaven's Gate story arc of the comic series. A mysterious stranger wearing an ice mask approaches Wind and tells him that he has the ability to resurrect the dead. To everyone's surprise, the stranger revives Second Dream, Wind's lover, who had died in the first season. However, Wind and Cloud gradually discover that they are falling under his control and being manipulated by him. The stranger, claiming to be a god and possessing extraordinary powers, is revealed to be Di Shitian, the leader of the Heaven's Gate sect. Several pugilists have joined Heaven's Gate, either out of fear for Di Shitian or temptation by the rewards he offers.
Di Shitian's intentions become clear later, as he is planning to recruit the seven pugilists (including Wind and Cloud), who wield the most powerful weapons in the jianghu, to join him in his quest to slay the Dragon and obtain the precious Dragon Orb, which can boost a pugilist's inner energy by several times after consumption. The mission is successful but the Orb breaks into pieces and the fragments end up in different locations. In greed, Di Shitian consumes more pieces than his body can take and injures himself. His treacherous servant, Duan Lang, seizes the opportunity to kill him and absorb his powers. Subsequently, Duan morphs into the Kirin Demon and becomes a dangerous threat to the jianghu. Wind and Cloud join forces to defeat Duan eventually.
