When Yang Tianchun and Xin Ruolan returned from watching a play, they discovered that parents were desperately searching for their missing children. Yang Tianchun quickly found the capital's government office to inquire about the situation. It turned out that a sudden case of child abduction had occurred in the capital, as all eight missing children were from wealthy families. Initially, the government assumed it was a common kidnapping case, but over a month passed without any ransom demands from the kidnappers. Combining various clues, Yang Tianchun discovered that the kidnappers were part of the recently famous "Chaos Illusion Troupe," which had invited wealthy merchants and their children to watch a performance, only to make the children disappear right before everyone's eyes. Investigations at the local magicians revealed that the troupe's methods were not ordinary tricks or magic. Just when the investigation hit a dead end, Jiang Zijiao suddenly arrived at Baicaotang to deliver bad news to Yang Tianchun: Longshan Temple had been exterminated! Jiang Zijiao recounted her experiences to Yang Tianchun and Ruolan, explaining that she had escaped the massacre with the young monk Yankong after he had gone down the mountain to beg for alms. Upon returning, she recognized the attacker’s figure as a ninja from Fusang! Jiang Zijiao had managed to escape the pursuit of the ninja using a technique of invisibility, while the young monk sacrificed himself to cover her. After listening to Jiang Zijiao's account, Yang Tianchun immediately set off for Longshan Temple. Upon arrival, they confirmed that the purpose of the ninja attack was to obtain the temple’s martial arts secrets. Unexpectedly, the ninjas launched a surprise attack on Yang Tianchun's group, using illusion techniques against him, resulting in a fierce battle in which the ninjas were ultimately no match for Yang Tianchun. Through his encounters with the ninjas and evidence collected in the capital, Yang Tianchun confirmed that the abduction case was also the work of the ninjas. These ninjas were the widows of Iga ninjas who were exterminated by the Tokugawa shogunate. They had come to China to seek revenge against the Tokugawa shogunate and prove the value of ninjas, following the tradition passed down by the dark night Asura, who had crossed over to Japan from Longshan Temple and was revered as their ancestor. They, relying on legends passed down from their ancestors and ninja leader Koga Saizo, hoped to capture young boys and girls to create the legendary shikigami, and all they needed was Yang Tianchun's blood. To draw the snakes out of their holes, Yang Tianchun’s group returned to the capital. Nalan Sotou informed them that a samurai had been dispatched from Japan specifically to combat the ninjas—Kawakami Hikozaemon. After meeting Kawakami, he carefully explained everything about Japanese ninjas, their skills, practices, and history, showing Yang Tianchun the comprehensive ninja manual "The Collection of Ten Thousand Rivers and Seas." The Tokugawa shogunate feared ninjas, while samurai despised their underhanded and dishonorable actions, leading to the extermination order against the Iga ninja group. Kawakami Hikozaemon was the one who had killed the husbands of those female ninjas. Once everything was clear, Yang Tianchun and Kawakami Hikozaemon, along with their group, faced the pursuing ninjas. In the midst of the chaotic battle, when Iron Monkey Yang Tianchun was about to transform to confront his foes, Kawakami Hikozaemon unexpectedly turned on him, capturing him and forcing him into a desperate situation. To Yang Tianchun's shock, Kawakami Hikozaemon was actually the last Iga ninja, Koga Saizo! Koga Saizo had used disguise techniques to impersonate Kawakami Hikozaemon, leveraging his identity to uncover who the heir of Longshan Temple was. Having obtained Yang Tianchun’s blood, he began the summoning of shikigami beneath the eclipse. When the eclipse passed, the legendary shikigami did not appear after all. Ruolan arrived just in time to save Iron Monkey. Through the unraveling of Yang Tianchun and Xin Ruolan, it became evident that there were no supernatural beings like shikigami, shattering the ninjas' dream of reviving the Iga. The Iron Monkey successfully rescued the many young children.
