There were flash backs of scenes in the beginning of the movie. The flash backs were about the love story of Yan Chixia (Louis Koo Tin Lok) and Nie Xiaoqian (Liu Yifei). The flask backs showed how they met, fell in love, how they eventually realised that they are not supposed to be together, how Yan Chixia was forced to stab the Only Weapon into Nie Xiaoqian's head to block of her memory about them and how Xia Xue Feng Lei (Louis Fan) lost an arm because Yan Chixia lost the Only Weapon that can kill LaoLao (Kara Hui), the tree demon that controlled the Black Mountain.
Years passed and Yan Chixia still longed for Nie Xiaoqian. He killed all the demons that he came across in the Black Mountain but him, however still have a soft spot for Nie Xiaoqian. On one fine day, Ning Caichen (Yu Shaoqun), an officer, arrived at the Black Mountain Village and realised that they do not have water supply. The people there are suffering from dehydration. The trees in the village were dried and no plants can grow in the village. He decided to lead an expedition to the Black Mountain to find water source for the village. The villagers heard about his ambitious trip and nobody dares to go with him. Therefore, the village chief sent a bunch of prisoners to go with him.
When they reach the Black Mountain, the weather suddenly took a drastic change. Hence, the group had to find a shelter. They saw a temple not far ahead. The temple is the famous Lan Ruo Temple where all the demons resides. As they reached the temple, they saw a pond in the middle of the temple. They were all delighted.
While Caichen was so overwhelmed by his findings, the prisoners were tempted by the group of skimpily dressed dancing girls. They were all seduced to the back of the temple where the girls turned into demons that sucked their soul out of them. Nie Xiaoqian came back and saw Ning Caichen looking into the pond. She wanted to seduce Caichen and sucked his soul out but at the same time, Yan Chixia arrived at the temple. He killed all the demons and Ning Caichen witnessed his massacre. He didn't know that those he killed were demons so he mistakenly accused him of being a murderer. Yan Chixia saw Caichen and Xiaoqian so he chase after them. He wanted to warn Caichen that Xiaoqian is actually a demon but Caichen thought that Chixia want to kill them so he took Xiaoqian's hand and ran away. They hide from him.
After Chixia left, Xiaoqian tried to suck Caichen soul out from him but she realised that she couldn't smell evil from him and he is a good man. So she decided to let him go.
The next morning, Caichen went back to the temple to plant some explosives in the pond. Xiaoqian saw him and greeted him. Caichen gave her a candy and the candy felt familiar to her. However, at the same time, the snake demon sisters came back to the temple. Xiaoqian asked Caichen to keep quiet and not move no matter what he sees. While Xiaoqian was trying to distract the snake demons away, Caichen sneeze and the snake demons realise that he was not dead. They wanted to attack Caichen but Xiaoqian said that he belongs to her. She asked Caichen to run away. He realised that Xiaoqian is a demon too. He ran away for his life. Suddenly, Chixia came, the eplosive were accidentally ignited, and it exploded, hurting Xiaoqian. Chixia saved Xiaoqian.
The next morning when Xiaoqian awoke, he saw Chixia next to her. She was surprised that Chixia didn't kill her. She tried to seduce Chixia but she failed and she dares Chixia to kill her. Caichen saw Chixia confronting Xiaoqian. He knocked Chixia unconscious from the back and both of them tied him up the tree. Chixia woke up and told Caichen that there will never be a fairy tale ending if he falls for Xiaoqian. Caichen didn't listen to his advice and insisted he want to be with Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian was touched his his words and decided to run away with him.
Just as they were leaving the Black Mountain, Laolao found out their trail and asked Xiaoqian to bring Caichen back to her. Xiaoqian couldn't bear to do it so she said hurtful things to force Caichen away. Caichen went back to the village and he realised that the village had water now. The explosion opens up a water source to the village. Feeling worried over Xiaoqian, Caichen decided to go back to find Xiaoqian. While at the Black Mountain, Xiaoqian was captured and punished by Laolao.
On the way back to Black Mountain, Caichen bumped into Chixia who was still tied to the tree. He convinced Caichen to let him go because only he can save Xiaoqian. Caichen released Chixia and both of them headed to Ruo Lan Temple. They manage to rescue Xiaoqian. Both Xiaoqian and Caichen went back to the village where they shared the night together.
The next morning, Chixia arrived at the village and tried to locate them. However, at the same time, Xia Xue Feng Lei and his sister Xia Bing also arrived at the village. Xia Xue Feng Lei defeated Chixia and captured Xiaoqian. They also helped the whole village because all the villagers were infected with the Tree Demon curse after drinking the water that came from Ruo Lan Temple. Xia Xue Feng Lei placed Xiaoqian in a formation that will slowly drained off her demon power and eventually disintegrate her. He also tied Chixia in front of the formation so he can witness the death of his love. Xiaoqian who had no memory of Chixia couldn't understand a single thing that Xia Xue Feng Lei said about them.
Xia Xue Feng Lei left them in the room for them to suffer as he embarked into his journey to go kill Laolao. Caichen came and tried to rescue Xiaoqian. Chixia once again convinced him to release him but this time Caichen didn't give in. However, Xia Bing came and released both Xiaoqian and Chixia because she wanted Chixia to help his brother kill Laolao.
On the way to Ruo Lan Temple, Chixia asked Caichen to look for Xiaoqian's body when they reached the temple because that is the only way to release Xiaoqian from Laolao's confinement. He also asked if Caichen truly love Xiaoqian and will take her away with him. Caichen say yes to both and Chixia smile. When they reached the temple, Xia Xue Feng Lei were already fighting with the demons in the temple. Both Chixia and Feng Lei fought with the demons before Laolao appeared and fight with them. While they were fighting, Caichen and Xia Bing went around searching for the Xiaoqian's body.
With Xia Bing's power, she opened up a portal that leads to the underground where all the bodies were placed. It was a very cold place. After much effort, Caichen found Xianqian's body and placed it in a container that was given to him by Chixia.
While on the surface, the fight became more intense when Laolao sucked Xiaoqian into her knowing that Chixia will not kill her because if he kills her, Xiaoqian will die as well. After he saw Caichen came out with Xiaoqian's body, he tricked Laolao into sucking him in and releasing Xiaoqian. While Chixia was in Laolao, he concentrated all his powers and took out the Only Weapon, which was all this time inside Xiaoqian's head. As the Only Weapon came out from Xiaoqian, all her memories between Chixia and her came into the picture. She once said to Chixia that she will marry whomever that gave the candy to her and it was Chixia who first gave the candy to her. Now, she is in a dilemma, she is now trapped in the past and present. She fell for both guys. Chixia sacrifice too much for her but the man she love now is Caichen. Chixia who is now in Laolao, took the Only Weapon and stabbed himself. Killing both him and Laolao.
When Laolao died, the temple will collapse. So Feng Lei urged everyone to leave the temple at once. Before Chixia died, he asked Caichen to bring Xianqian with him. Xiaoqian was still trapped in the dilemma. As she was about to exit the temple, she pushed Caichen out and told him that she cannot be with him as demons and human were never meant to be together. She went back to the temple and was crushed to death together with Chixia.
