CATDOLL: The official Chinese Paladin comic "Locking Demons" is online today. Is the protagonist related to the fourth Chinese Paladin comic?

The official website of Chinese Paladin (6002) announced today that the first short comic of Chinese Paladin has been officially launched. The first comic is called "Locking Demons". The story of "Locking Demons" is that the seal of the Locking Demon Tower was destroyed when the Demon Lord took out the magic sword. Many monsters escaped from the tower. A beautiful demon hunter met a peacock monster that escaped from the Locking Demon Tower...

This work is brought to you by the painters Decoration Worker 4bai, Contractor Seventeen and screenwriter Xie Chenying. There will be updates every day from Thursday to Sunday around 12 noon, so don't miss it.

It looks like this is a story about a demon hunter (?) and a powerful monster. This girl doesn't look like a disciple of any sect. By the way, her outfit does look familiar.

Why does this sword look very similar to the "Tianhe Sword" and "Wangshu" in "Chinese Paladin IV"? Is there any connection between this comic and "Chinese Paladin IV"? I am looking forward to the sequel.
