Wind and Cloud (2002)

Wind and Cloud 2 (風雲2) is a Chinese–Taiwanese wuxia television series adapted from the Hong Kong manhua series Fung Wan by Ma Wing-shing, and first aired on Tianjin TV in mainland China on 15 January 2005. Even though Wind and Cloud 2 is marketed as a sequel to Wind and Cloud (2002), it was produced by a different team and starred a completely new cast except the lead actors Vincent Zhao and Peter Ho, who reprised their roles as the titular protagonists.

Synopsis

The series is based on the "Heaven's Gate" story arc of the manhua series. A mysterious stranger wearing an ice mask approaches Nie Feng and tells him he has the ability to resurrect the dead. To everyone's surprise, the stranger revives Di-er Meng, Nie Feng's lover who had died earlier. Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun gradually realise that they are falling under the stranger's control and being manipulated by him. The stranger, who claims to be a god and possesses supernatural powers, reveals himself to be Dishitian, the leader of a mysterious martial arts clan called Heaven's Gate. Several well-known martial artists in the wulin have joined Heaven's Gate either out of fear of Dishitian or temptation by the rewards he offers.

Dishitian's intentions become clear later. He is planning to recruit the fighters – including Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun – who wield the seven most powerful weapons in the wulin to join him in his quest to slay a dragon and obtain a magical orb which can boost his neigong by several times after consumption. The mission is successful but the orb shatters and the pieces end up in different locations. In greed, Dishitian consumes more pieces than his body can take, and ends up in a zouhuorumo state. His treacherous servant, Duan Lang, seizes the opportunity to kill him and absorb his neigong. Duan Lang then morphs into the Qilin Demon and becomes a dangerous threat to the wulin. Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun join forces to defeat Duan Lang.
