As a dynasty nears its end, and the turbulent Taiping-tao rebellion has finally been quelled, miasma born of the regrets and fears of the countless dead immerse Shenzhou's central plains. Twisted demons known as Wangliang feed on it and possess the living, turning them into monsters. The Tianyuan, a group of deities and immortals who preserve order, are creating special hunters to rout them out. Tianyuan member Lady Luozhi decrees that the elite 'Sixth Unit', which was disbanded under mysterious circumstances, be reformed and selects four hunters to comprise it.

(One episode watched):

A show about four highly skilled 'hunters' tracking down demonic entities might be great fun--if the four were colorful characters with intriguing personalities, and there was some depth to the plot. But I'm not seeing that here. This all seemed pretty generic and simplistic to me. Lady Luozhi is sort of mischievously domineering, but could have gone farther. One of the four is a relatively cowardly survivor of the old Sixth Unit, and I sensed that maybe a shocking and intriguing revelation about the fate of the unit would be forthcoming, but it never really did. Another member is semi-possessed, and I wondered what the implications of that might be, but again I was disappointed. Magic, rather than just blades are employed in the fighting, which I appreciate. But I found myself having a hard time maintaining attention during the climactic fight of the episode as my mind wanted to wander somewhere else. This struck me as a show which had numerous opportunities to expand and be unusual, but refused to exploit them. It seems that its goal was to be average, and once it had accomplished it the show refused to go any farther.
