There Xu meets Ying Li, who was the first one to defeat Xu and the Powers of Ten Rings. Xu immediately falls in love with Ying, but Ying’s village does not accept Xu, and they do not think that Xu is worthy enough for these magical powers.

Ying Li leaves her village and all her powers to be with Xu, and in return, Xu also leaves his Ten Rings. Then the movie transits to the current timeline, and Xu Shang Chi is in San Fransisco and works as a Valet with his girlfriend, Katy.

One day when Shang and Katy were traveling in a bus, some goons came and asked for Shang’s locket, Shang refused, but they took it anyway. Then Shang realizes that those persons will definitely go after his sister to steal her locket too.

Then they get attacked by those goons, and they take Xialing’s locket too. Then there arrives Xu Wenwu, and he takes Shang, Xiang, and Katy with him to their house, and there he tells them that their mother might be alive and she is asking for help.

Wenwu thinks that her village’s people are trapping Ying Li, and he wants to go there and destroy the whole town to release Ying Li. But Shang and Xialing are not ready to do it, so they decide to go to the village by themselves to warn the village about the coming ambush.

The village tells them that one day some dark creatures attacked the village, and their ancestors fought very bravely against those dark creatures, but they were no match against the powers of those dark creatures.

Then a Magical angel arrives, which saves the village from those dark creatures and traps them in a tunnel. That magical angel is the one who gave the village those magical powers. They reveal that Xu Wenwu is not the only person who is coming to open that closed tunnel.

There were many attacks on the village before and every time those people hers a voice in their head which tells them to open that village. Then those people prepare Shang, Xiang, and Katy for the upcoming ambush.
