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 regarded as a sequel to Wind and Cloud (2002), it was produced by a different company and is rather loosely connected to Wind and Cloud. Vincent Zhao and Peter Ho reprised their roles as the title characters.

Plot

The series is based on the Heaven's Gate 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 died in the first series. 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 the martial arts clan Tianmen. Several well-known fighters have joined Tianmen, either out of fear for 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 the Dragon and obtain the 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 causes internal injuries to himself. 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.
