Wind and Cloud 2 is a Taiwanese television series based on Hong Kong artist Ma Wing-shing's manhua series Fung Wan. The series was first broadcast on CTV in Taiwan in 2004. Even though the series is marketed as a sequel to Wind and Cloud (2002), it was produced by a different company and is loosely connected to Wind and Cloud. Vincent Zhao and Peter Ho reprised their roles as the titular characters from the first series.
Plot
The series is based on the Heaven School 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. However, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun gradually realise that they are falling under his control and being manipulated by him. The stranger, who claims to be a god and possesses supernatural powers, is revealed to be Dishitian, the leader of Heaven School, a martial arts school. Several well-known fighters have joined the Heaven School 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 jianghu (martial artists' community) to join him in his quest to slay a dragon and obtain a precious Dragon Orb, which can boost a martial artist's inner energy by several times after consumption. The mission is successful but the Orb breaks into pieces and the fragments end up in different locations. In greed, Dishitian consumes more pieces than his body can take, and suffers severe internal injuries. His treacherous servant, Duan Lang, seizes the opportunity to kill him and absorb his powers. Duan Lang then morphs into the Qilin Demon and becomes a dangerous threat to the jianghu. Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun join forces to defeat Duan Lang.
