Plot summary
Zu is a mountain range between Heaven and Earth, home to peacekeeping immortals who live in clans. The demon Insomnia aims to rule both the range and the world below it, and it destroys those clans one at a time. Dawn of the Kunlun Clan sends her apprentice King Sky away, judging that their closeness stands in the way of their progress. Two centuries on, White Eyebrows, grandmaster of the Omei Clan, senses the demon drawing near and sends Red, his apprentice, to look into it. King Sky takes up the fight alongside the Omei, and Insomnia retreats into the Blood Cave. White Eyebrows leaves Red to guard the cave mouth while the Omei prepare to fight again.
