Against this backdrop, a family of brilliant scientists have vanished, leaving behind their eldest daughter, Ling Hoi, who manages to escape with the help of her A.I. robot pet, I.i. In a desperate move, she seeks out the assistance of her aunt, Wong Yam, at the Emei Mountain Spirit Power Academy, a training facility for women of great martial arts prowess. Now, Ling Hoi and Wong Yam must put aside family friction to rescue the rest of their family. But what terrible powers are responsible for their disappearance, and why?
