HAKYU HOSHIN ENGI

In the 11th century BC, during the era of Yin... An evil Sennyo, Dakki, has turned the emperor, Chu, into her puppet. To end the chaos in the human world, one of the founding Sennto on Konron Mountain, Genshitenson, summons a Doshi called Taikobo and charges him with the "Hoshin List." He orders Taikobo to seal all the evil Sennin listed on it within Hoshindai. His weapons will be his own intellect, the paopei "Dashinben," and the spirit beast Supushan. Having received his orders to take out Dakki, the Doshi Taikobo descends to the human world!

Taikobo is made aware of his own powerlessness in the face of Dakki's schemes. He had made up his mind to recruit some strong allies... but spends his days mindlessly fishing instead. Meanwhile, in Choka, the Buseioh Koh Hiko's sworn friend, the Grand Preceptor Bunchu, returns from a mission far away. Bunchu is a capable fighter who once took on Dakki. Koh Hiko is certain that he and Bunchu could take out Dakki together, but... Meanwhile, Taikobo faces Nataku, the "human paopei" with three paopei on his body.

Dakki suddenly appears before Taikobo and Supushan. The two are bewildered by her presence so far from the palace, but then they realize it's actually Yozen, the only Doshi capable of transformation, in the guise of Dakki. Taikobo rejoices at the appearance of a powerful new ally, but Yozen declares that he intends to test Taikobo first. Meanwhile, Bunchu returns from his excursion to quell the Western prince's rebellion, only to be told that the Buseioh betrayed Choka. Dakki must be behind this, as well...

Taikobo has taken the role of strategist for the army of Seiki, the western region of Yin, but for some reason he's instructing the soldiers to do farm work. This story began the previous day when Ki Sho, one of the Four Lords, showed up in front of Taikobo while he was fishing the day away. Meanwhile, the Buseioh and his family have left Choka to head for Seiki. Genshitenson, who has sensed that Bunchu would not let Buseioh get away with betraying Yin, dispatches a powerful helper with a deep connection to the Buseioh...

Taikobo's party rushes to save Buseioh and his family. But standing before him are four assassins of Kyuryu Island sent by Bunchu, known as the Shisei. Taikobo faces Koyuken, Nataku faces Ri Koha, Yozen faces Ohma... the fierce battles come one after another! Meanwhile, Shinkohyo visits Bunchu at the palace and informs him that the Shisei intend to attack Seiki itself. At last their strongest foe, Bunchu, makes a move himself...

In Seiki, Ki Sho has fallen ill. His son, Shuko, asks Taikobo to meet his brother and Ki Sho's successor, Ki Hatsu, to determine whether he'll be a worthy successor if the worst happens to Ki Sho. Meanwhile, in Choka, Dakki's scheme is still steadily moving forward. Bunchu rebukes her, but at the same time, he can't allow Seiki to continue to exist now that it has become Choka's enemy... Deciding that war is necessary, Bunchu heads to Kingo Island, Konron Mountain's counterpart.
