Plot

The film is set in early Republican China. Tang Yunlong, an archaeology professor, returns from the United States to China, taking along his daughter, Tang Ning, with him.

Tang meets Paul Chen, an antique seller who deals in stolen artifacts. A fight breaks out when Tang seizes a treasure map from Chen. Tang defeats Chen's men and escapes with the map. The Tangs then make their way to the Wudang Mountains to attend a martial arts contest.

Elsewhere, on an aeroplane, Tianxin fights with other martial artists on board and steals an invitation card to attend the event at Wudang.

At Wudang, it is revealed that Tang and Tianxin are there for the same objective — to hunt for seven treasures hidden all over the Wudang Mountains. Tianxin wants only one of the seven, a sword, which she insists belonged to her family. Tang, on the other hand, is searching for a magic pill which can cure his daughter of a rare illness.

While hunting for the treasures, Tang Yunlong and Tianxin have several encounters and confrontations with the Wudang guardians keeping watch over the treasures, as well as with Chen and his men, who are also there for the treasures.
