In the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiajing Emperor was ineffective, and the corrupt Yan faction held sway over the court. Widespread corruption plagued the government, while coastal raiders wreaked havoc along the shores. The entire political sphere was under the firm grip of Yan Shi Fan, the son of the deceitful Grand Secretary Yan Song, posing a serious threat to the Ming Dynasty. When Abbot Guan Hai of the Shaolin Temple stepped down to the Dharma Cave, the Shaolin monks were distressed by the national crisis and uncertain about what lay ahead. Three new lay disciples - Cheng Wen Dao, Gao Jian Xiong, and Hai Da Li - harbored personal grudges against Yan Song and Yan Shi Fan for the ruin of their families. Due to their remarkable skills, they were tasked with training in martial arts, medicine, and Zen at the Dharma Hall, Medicine Bureau, and Prajna Hall. Yan Shi Fan, aiming to manipulate Shaolin for his own gain, dispatched the warrior monks of Shaolin under the guise of combating raiders. He then conspired with the treacherous Mad Monk to take over the temple, transforming the once tranquil grounds into a place of chaos.
