When Yang Tianchun and Xin Ruolan returned from watching a play, they found parents desperately searching for their missing children. Yang Tianchun quickly went to the capital’s magistrate to inquire about the situation. It turned out there had been a sudden case of child abductions in the capital, as all eight missing children were from wealthy families. Initially, the magistrate thought it was a common kidnapping case, but more than a month had passed without any ransom demands from the kidnappers. Combining various clues, Yang Tianchun discovered that the kidnappers were actually from the recently renowned "Chaos Illusion Troupe," which had invited wealthy merchants to bring their children to performances only to make the children disappear on stage before everyone’s eyes. At the stick position, various tricksters and magicians from the capital were consulted, confirming that the troupe’s performance techniques were not ordinary tricks, colored theater, or magic. Just when the clues hit a dead end, Jiang Zijiao suddenly arrived at Baicaotang to inform Yang Tianchun of a terrible news! The Longshan Temple had been massacred! Jiang Zijiao recounted to Yang Tianchun and Ruolan what she had seen and heard. She and a young monk, Yanku, had escaped the massacre while begging for alms. After returning from their begging, she had seen the shape of one of the assailants—it was a ninja from Fusang! Jiang Zijiao had escaped the ninja’s pursuit using a technique of invisibility, while the young monk Yanku had sacrificed himself to protect her. After listening to Jiang Zijiao’s account, Yang Tianchun set off immediately, riding hard towards Longshan Temple. Upon arriving at the exterminated Longshan Temple and consolidating all the clues, they determined the ninja’s motive for the massacre—the temple's martial arts secrets. In an unexpected turn of events, the ninjas suddenly attacked Yang Tianchun and his group, using illusions against him. After an intense battle, the ninjas were ultimately no match for Yang Tianchun. By engaging in combat with the ninjas and combining the evidence gathered in the capital, Yang Tianchun confirmed that the capital’s abduction case was also the work of ninjas. These ninjas were widows of Iga ninjas who had been exterminated by the Tokugawa shogunate, seeking revenge against the shogunate and proof of the ninjas' value. They came to China to trace their roots, having learned the ninjutsu from Anye Xiu Luo, a revered figure among Iga ninjas who crossed over to Japan. Through their ancestors and the ninja leader, Kogure Taizo, they hoped to capture young boys and girls to create the legendary shikigami, and now they just needed Yang Tianchun’s blood. To lure the snakes out of their holes, Yang Tianchun and his group returned to the capital. Nalan Suotu informed them that a warrior specialized in combating ninjas had been sent from Japan—Kawakami Hanzai. After meeting with Kawakami Hanzai, he carefully explained to Yang Tianchun the martial arts, training, history, and all that ninjas excelled at in Japan. He also showed Yang Tianchun the "Wanchuan Jihai," a compilation of ninjutsu. The Tokugawa shogunate had once feared ninjas, as samurais despised their underhanded and dishonorable actions. The shogunate had ordered the extermination of the Iga ninja clan, and Kawakami Hanzai was the one who killed these female ninjas’ husbands. After clarifying everything, Yang Tianchun, Kawakami Hanzai, and others faced the pursuing ninjas. In the middle of a chaotic battle, just as Yang Tianchun prepared to transform and confront the enemy, Kawakami Hanzai unexpectedly turned and attacked him, forcing him into a corner. To Yang Tianchun's surprise, Kawakami Hanzai was actually the last Iga ninja, Kogure Taizo! Kogure Taizo used a disguise technique to take on the persona of Kawakami Hanzai, utilizing Hanzai’s identity to uncover who the heir of Longshan Temple was. Now he had obtained Yang Tianchun’s blood and began the summoning of shikigami beneath the solar eclipse. After the eclipse passed, the legendary shikigami did not appear, and Ruolan arrived just in time to save Iron Monkey. Through the deciphering of Yang Tianchun and Xin Ruolan, it was revealed that there was no such supernatural entity as shikigami; the dreams of reviving Iga were shattered, and the ninjas were defeated by Iron Monkey, who successfully rescued the children.
