Muyu and Changhe head to homeland and meet with his sister. They know that 93 Blood River assassins assisted Wushuang city to kill and get sword manuals. 18 remained and these were being hunted to silence how WuShuang really got their sword techniques. Muyu is definitely on a mission. The prince confirmed with arrow boy that they took info from their boxes that wasn’t burned. While faked, it was actually just more detailed with real intel. Arrow boy pledges his allegiance to the prince and sounds convinced that Muyu would not have a chance against the imperial guards. He can keep telling himself that. Muyu has a meeting and the 18 Blood River retirees are all ready to fight to the death if necessary. They do not claim guilt but the leader was not happy that this was over sword technique manuals. Muyu lets them know his umbrella appropriately has 18 swords, one for each of them The leader admits later they could not have defeated him and Changhe closes the door to be sure they know Muyu is not alone if they want to push it. Muyu is not happy with the news but he knows the three from soul Reaper hall put out the contract. He also found out that they were willing to take heavy losses to get the sword techniques and the heir. Muyu does not hold them guilty, but as with all other contracts he wishes they would pay more attention to know who is paying for contract rather than bottom line when done.😝 In Na’an he meets up with another to determine if intel is real or not. It is confirmed to be real and that the new one was more detailed with correct info. The Miracle physician doesn’t think Changhe is going to show so she elaborates in detail why she prefers Changhe to Muyu. Needless to say Uncle Zhe is not pleased and plans to kill the new patriarch.😝Changhe introduces the one Muyu cares for the most from homeland. This was also unexpected news. She is all kinds of jealous which is deserved since that is what she expected to try with Muyu. In preferring Changhe. She has renamed the clinic combining their names and telling Muyu he owes half rent.😂 He takes it in stride and gives her her favorite osmanthus cakes. He even smoothly gets over with brining another, and younger girl back.😂 she can’t hate him for the reasons. Changhe goes shopping and who knows how much he spent but he tipped 500 taels.😂😝He has fish and birds and a whole assortment of packages he planned to organize himself. He definitely plans on living in comfort while he is there. The apothecary owners share a look as they are most frugal in spending. When Changhe has fireworks and announces its opening a man challenges how it compares since the owner used it for women to buy high priced items from handsome man. He wants to know who is in charge of the clinic and Ms Bai pipes up that she is.

RuMu makes his way to WeiYun’s house with his father. She is resentful he was brought there, but RuMu makes his plan clear. Do whatever you want to him. She does make a good strike, but she is not cruel by nature. Even if Quan JingTing is a repentant form of himself with the darkness removed, there is a point where even if you have made peace with your God, it does not remove the consequences for choices made. His heinous acts to that poor dragon alone made him fit for hell, but he compounded that with literally thousands of demons making a river of blood. He owes a blood debt to them. I see the wisdom of the blade choice for RuMu….his snow was beautiful. She has the relief that he is healed and needs no longer feel indebted. He claims he will become the soldier but not looking particularly enthused. That wave goodbye to WeiYun. He makes it look like he’s accepted them heading off on separate adventures. WeiYun still thinks they should part though she almost gave in with the hug. RuMu then takes his father to the clan prison and sees his father locked up. He makes no effort to say a word and simply walks away. We then see QingTong and brother at the market..coming ever so close to FuGui. He even senses her but sees the brother he never met. I was relieved that she saw through her brother’s plot. He paid the stall person to lie to her. He set everything up to weave the perfect setting for FuGui to be proved dead. But her stubbornness to see his body is his undoing and her hold on faith. The sword training with second prince shows a much lazier FuGui but one still wise to cheating. That thump with the stone was funny. RuMu has formed himself a disguise to persuade the foxes about water orb. His disguise as an astrologer and actions are very like Seo In Guk’s Nam HanJun character complete with dance and hocus pocus fortunes. 😂🤣I laughed out loud when he is introduced to YunFei’sRoyal master.🤣😂 He gets his celestial self added thanks to his cousin and they are comparing notes about the prince and water orb. The prince seems lacking in many respects, but FuGui thinks it is this very docile and simplistic view that allows the orb to reside in him. FuGui thinks he might have the potential to absorb it. RuMu is far from convinced. He saw first hand how WeiYun turned beserk and he also knows it is her clans treasure. It does say something that WeiYun was looking for a cure for him rather than her clan’s greatest treasure. She knows he is cured so will she now change her focus to the orb? 12581 has pulled off the gloves and told her she can’t leave the city. He showed her how to steal other’s powers and she flatly refused and forbid him from doing it—way too late sis. how do you think he has trapped you there? I like how Fu Gui senses she is ok but being detained for reasons unknown. He has faith she will handle it and they will meet. But he also gets RuMu interested in looking for her. Now that she knows where the spot of joy and sorrow is, she spikes some food in return to loving brother and makes her way there. She talks to the tree guardian and warned that she must be able to find true love to get the seed to sprout. If she fails the test with her hate, she will be stuck there forever. It is Deja vu going back to tree seed. This is a unique spot where all three parts mesh. Since she said yes, she is immediately hit with the seed and forced to face her dark side. Brother can’t get to her now.😝

The episode opens with the villagers escaping and returning home. They want their savior to go with them but he has other things to do. Yun Fei is damn cute in both forms. Xue yang shows up to challenge the bandit leader. The leader has learned to use the orb as an artifact and as the battle increases FuGui enhances the spear and the orb is taken from the bandit. Yun Fei is in fox form and swallows the orb. FuGui tries to persuade him to spit it out, but it is long swallowed by his ‘poor puppy’. General Li is impressed with Fu Gui’s skills and invites him to serve in her army. He politely declines saying how he and his dog stick together and aren’t leaving but is interrupted by the human YunFei who is all for joining.😂 His father has sent representatives from the clan to bring the prince home. He complies, but only if his new friend lantern Wang can join him. Fu Gui comments how the designs on the wall are of dragons. The king says after the decline of the dragons his clan achieved the honor to replace them. Everybody is scheming to get YunFei to literally cough up the orb. Fu Gui has paid attention and knows the prince’s life will be in question if they forcefully cut it out of him. He activates YunFei’s demonic power and the want him to teach the prince how to cultivate it. He pretends lack of interest which appeases the sky king who isn’t sure of FuGui’s intentions. So the young prince keeps seeking him out. He wants to impress the lady general. He has the mistaken notion that his chosen teacher can give advice on impressing women.🤣😂 Yun Fei shows up with a gift for the general but she declines. As the fox he tries to act out where they first met but he fails dreadfully and she ices him and throws him towards home.😂 12581 has stepped up to give QingTong cultivation guides. The Fox clone questions this choice, but he is convinced he has things handled. He shows her a memorial for FuGui and even throws in the truth about RuMu and the sword meridians. He persuades her to get stronger first which is inadvertently a good thing for her. She does need to hold her own better to truly avenge FuGui. Disciple Feng talked HongYe into visiting RuMu. He is living as isolated as FuGui used to but is drowning in alcohol when not fighting. Opportunity presents itself to send RuMu to the border. RuMu agrees but wants his father to come along. This will bring him and his father full circle in the desert. I think he is trying to find a way to atone for his father’s deeds so WeiYun can consider him. Waiting to see what the cousins come up with. 12581 tries to pacify QingTong with gifts. What he doesn’t know is lantern Wang made the lantern. QingTong recognizes his handiwork and knows where he is. Big mistake fake spider soldier.😝🙄 He is annoying me less since she knows the truth. Very nice slap administered for his lies but she apologized. He still greatly exaggerates his place in her heart. RuMu and dad are heading back to the desert. Curious if the cousins will work together or separately in dealing with the orb. The irony in this episode is XueYang is looking for the one who saved her in the desert not realizing she has met him. The cute one that isn’t too bright.🤣The players are getting lined up to meet in the desert. I am looking forward to see how they grow together and what fate has in store for them. I am hoping the tragedy of the parents will reap happiness with their children.

Fu Gui is now lantern Wang and a favorite with the local children. He makes fish lanterns. He wants to find the water orb but the binding spell keeps him limited in travel. The bandits have taken advantage of a small village and has them jailed. Fu Gui gets himself captured to find the bandit lair. We get the backstory of the fox’s big brother. He tries to spare his brother by staying in puppy form. I am not clear on how his brother died, but now they are making second son be in human form. It seems the fox clan found the orb WeiYun dropped and counted it as their treasure. The bandits robbed them and they want the prince to get the orb back. The two who went with him sold him to the bandits. Fu Gui finds himself with lady leader. He manages to keep his honor but gets tossed in with the hard labor group. The small dog that trailed him turned out to be the second fox prince. He missed his older brother and Fu Gui reminded him of his brother with the vase of flowers and kind disposition. They both find themselves tossed with the bandits. The prince is still with the leader trying to hide.😂 Fu Gui finds a leopard whose meridians were sealed. He unblocks them and gives instructions how to free themselves. As a group they bow to him because they are grateful. 12581 captures the messenger QinTong sent to cave. He is not to tell her that the soldier is still alive. His bargain with the black fox is to block all escape routes from QingTong and keep her by his side. Can’t wait to see how she outmaneuvers him. This episode has both couples separated and dealing with individual problems.

Wow! Right when you think the damned alliance can’t possibly sink any lower, they do. They have sealed FuGui and banished him. HongYe tells him to go enjoy the world.😝 I am damn tired of his wallowing. He still chooses wrong. He thinks he singlehandedly must be the one to deal with the alliance and black fox. He has truly learned nothing after all this time. He has tossed what’s most important for 20 years and now continues the trend. I am so disappointed in his character, He did honor FuGui’s request to have his meridian given to RuMu. This was a big procedure and knocked him out for ten days. He is not happy with his cousin. FuGui left him a snow sword that I thought quite appropriate. He refused it at first but came to accept his cousin’s request and is training with it. He went to see his father and asked the same thing we all are…Why are you still alive?😝🤬 He is putting on a good act at how everything he did was due to the black fox. If you watched the other series, you know that they can’t force you to do what you are not actually inclined to do. So RuMu was right to call him out for lying and I appreciated him telling his dad not to call him by name or son again unless he wanted killed. FuGui’s goodbye to his real father, the butler, was nicely done. He was sent on his way with the butler’s blessing and a promise that things would be better and he will know happiness. He recieves a message from QingTong telling him she has something urgent to do and she will meet him. Turns out 12581 is a complete psycho obsessed with 12580. She has been his savior for ever, so it is not surprising for him to have hero worship. But the psycho lengths he is going with to imprison and fool her…well even she isn’t buying it. He has gained ten days knocking her out and has fortunately got rid of that god awful white hair. He thinks he will be her new soldier boy, but he has always been a weak, overly dependent person, so why on earth does he think he can fool her? He has even poisoned himself to look ill to manipulate her feelings and put her in protective mode over him. They are going to stretch this out too long but hopefully she will learn something valuable with this separation. I want her to kick her ‘brother’s’ butt and tell him to get a life.😝I am not sure how she will break ties without killing him, but like FuGui, she will figure it out. Since he got on my nerves with his first psycho look at her, kudos to the actor. But sorry dude, I’m going to hate you completely in this drama.😝 we see FuGui in the desert and he hears the tale of the beserk dragons and the water orb. I enjoyed the sand drawings and thought that a nice, unique touch to the storytelling. He hears that a bandit group has found it which is why there is chaos brewing and Fu Gui is investigating. RuMu has accepted that he has things to do and now that the borders are a mess thanks to his ever loving father 😝he is going to take care of business. It is nice to see him in action without spitting blood or being exhausted. This episode was well done by the cast and despised by the viewers for a lot of it. The alliance is long past wearing thin and we are tired of the duo failed fathers and now adding the psycho brother to the mix. There were some nice high moments but we need to see our boys get some respite from WangQuan crap. Family doesn’t claim them, so let them get more than just space away from family. We want happy endings with our guys and their beautiful demons.

Wei Yun was lost in a dream where RuMu was dead and she was forever indebted. Qingtong broke through her conscience to bring her back and the dragon did;Elle’s the clone essence which FuGui captured. The scene with the butler was a father/son moment. The butler told him the things he needed to enjoy and gave him his father’s sword. What he learned is Wei Yun had been searching for a means to cure RuMu and learned that if she had Fu Gui’s sword meridians she could cure him. They return to WangQuan manor where the faithful were being suppressed and starved. FuiGui frees them and then gets his father and returns to the manor. Jingting shows up with his alliance audience and then they get surprised by the release of the Fox clone. FuGui kills the clone under the plaque exterminate all demons. His uncle’s dragon arm is revealed and all the lovely Fox darkness comes pouring out. The entire alliance was infiltrated by demon darkness. FuGui takes his father’s sword and dispenses it all with the heaven earth strike. Do these sorry bastards get on their knees and thank him? Hell no! These idiots now see just cause to destroy him because he now has the capability to fulfill the prophecy. And like HongYe wanted FuGui to kill his spider, they want HongYe to kill his son. Fu Gui was so aware of what their reaction was going to be that he actually chuckled as they brought their justice to him. Fu Gui is spot on with the fix. He has asked his father to remove his sword meridians. This will appease the ingrates of the alliance and heal his cousin. He is leaving WangQuan manor a blade that can defend them. He is now free from their crap, and RuMu can handle his dad. This is a win/win tho it appears a great loss. He isn’t giving up anything. He is freeing himself to be who he is supposed to be. And now, without the meridians, he is free of his father’s commands. What one can hope from this is that HongYe might be given an opportunity to actually try being a father. He will most likely waste the opportunity, but it will shut up these arses that whine about the ‘good of the people’ over family ties. I surely wish that beautiful strike would have purged those alliance members from the face of the earth rather than save them. But dammit, FuGui values all life— even theirs. It is true that angels save fools.😝I am hoping when he meets RuMu and QingTong at the frozen pool that he will tell RuMu of his gift. Since it is a done deal to prevent the prophecy, RuMu will hopefully accept them. Jingting is not dead yet so there is no telling what the fox will use him for now, but hopefully he will die a miserable death very soon. Maybe after that, Wei Yun can set her hatred for the father aside and accept the love of the son. I am tired of these fathers wrecking their sons’ Iives and want to see some happiness dammit.😝🙄 This episode shows that even when they get their way, are needing rescued because they got their way, and peace is restored with the rightful leader, that damn alliance still cannot set aside their prejudice and fear to do the right thing. It must always include suppression of some sort rather than flat out loyalty. The cast did their roles too well. I am fed up with the lot of them except for the handful that are not pretentious idiots. 😝

This was a poignant episode on several levels. We see that deer village is now raided and 12581 is being seduced by a fox clone saying his sister betrayed him. Quan JingTing is feeling powerful but is reminded by those who know him that it is a house of cards waiting to collapse. The saddest thing the butler said was that HongYe needed to be part of YiQi alliance. This is everything that is wrong with him, That aside, the butler is currently the bravest man in WangQuan. His love and loyalty for generations of the family is so evident here. Madam Yin has shown up in person to tell FuGui what’s been happening. He gives her permission to sell his location and that he has no dealings with spider cave. This creates quite a crowd to come to him. There are plenty of demons wanting revenge. Seems the men here are as worthless as in the alliance. It is clear this one in black is Rumu’s dragon. Her heart has been taken over by hate and FuGui feels it is ok to kill her. When his fire is blocked by his cousin, the fox smiles through her seeing RuMu’s love as a weakness to exploit. I am hoping he uses his fire to purge the evil from her. Quan JingTing has seen Qing Tong’s brother and I am sure he will plot plenty very soon. I highly respect the butler preventing HongYe from kneeling to JingTing. This is great respect as he candidly points out the lack of regard those around JingTing truly have. I am sure they all know how loyalty was respected by JingTing. He killed his most loyal disciple for his blood to get the sword. There is no benefit or regard given to care for his sorry ass. I can only hope he dies alone far away from the leader chair he feels entitled to. The butler hopes to make it to FuGui. I am not sure he will, but I am sure news of his efforts will reach him. Now to see what plans the cousins make now that RuMu’s dragon has entered the picture.

This episode gives us the backstory of RuMu and his dragon. There are no depths QingTing won’t sink to. He literally used everything but the skull of her mother. He did not have the courtesy or decency to kill her first. Her horns alone were allowed to regrow many times. RuMu did not know this history. He went home to find what he could of her mother because he loved her. When the skull was returned to their nesting place, her last memories were shown and a water core was presented. The dragon used RuMu to cultivate the core but his father betrayed them and used her hatred to make her mind unbalanced with the core’s strength. RuMu saved her from herself, but the core and his meridians were lost in the process. Their story was poignant and beautiful. The scene with the snow when his young self so freely gave his very life to her. 🥰Unlike RuMu’s father, she regretted deeply what she had done and is too ashamed to face him til she makes it right. I think she is looking for the water core so she will have the power to heal him and will not rest til she accomplishes it. The spider spy network sent a message of what has happened in WangQuan manor. There are no good choices tho RuMu is voting to go. He took the time to drink good wine and tell his story so that FuGui could let her know he never hated her. He spent the evening training with his sword writing his sword path. It is more carefree than FuGui’s but it is equally honorable. These two cousins know the most about endurance that bears no grudge or hatred. How these two elite souls came from the WangQuan line? I give credit to the mothers. The heart bell made the dragon realize she loved RuMu back and that has her more determined to carry out her plan of redemption. Quan JingTing is a loathsome bloodthirsty dictator that thinks he owns all as the streets in Eastern City run red with the blood of demon kind. Guess that means his arm and spine need to go. Let’s kill all his demon parts and see what’s left that is actually human.😝The alliance that supports this malevolent coward are even more disgusting than he is. They know it is all a lie and do not care. Their bottom line is worth more than their lives and souls. I think JingTing has managed to surpass RenFeng in being the most vile and hated character of the series now.🤬

Quan JingTing gets QingTong in front of the alliance wanting her to confess to an affair with the soldier. She boldly claims she was an agent for spider cave and stole the sword on her own. She said she didn’t even know the soldier much less have an affair. I appreciated her honesty about the doings of JingTing rang more and more true with each bolt he sent her way. These hypocrites knew it was true and still want to run to him for guidance. HongYe demands to see FuGui who is making his way by himself. Disciple Feng got a message to him and he boldly makes his way inside. They clear a broad path for him. This episode really gets your heart racing watching the battles. These cowardly men only fight en masse and still he resound,y beats them. HongYe magnanimously offers him the choice to take his sword, kill the demon and all will be forgotten. FuGui comes back with asking if he only married his mother for her flame to create a soldier? That got under his skin. 😝 FuGui sees it is a losing battle to get his father’s understanding, so he tells his dad that the world is not just for humans or demons but all living things. And continues with pointing out that contradicts his father;s path so they need to part ways. He takes the WangQuan sword and hurls it through their plaque to slay demons better. He picks up QingTong and makes his way out. The uncle demands receipts for his training and a thousand swords fall from the sky. When they want to separate him from the demon, he lets them know he is still alive and that wasn’t happening. Jingting still wants to assert himself and he uses his dragon sword to stab FuGui in the back. Here I am wondering if the dragon that flew away was released from the sword thanks to FuGui;s blood. I am hoping that is what happened. His mother;s wrath now gives him the divine flame and inverses his colors. Hair is now white and clothing black. It looks good on him. HongYe has the nerve to ask him if he is in a killing spree and prevents him from taking out worthless JingTing. Lightning should have struck him because the only entity doing killing sprees was the alliance he wants to keep intact. Disciple Feng has seen true love in action and she now understands the path FuGui is in and sees the rightness of it. She is open mouthed gobsmacked at the ridiculous charges of the men around her and their mob mentality to kill the soldier they created. Oooh he can forge any weapon with that fire so we can;t have that.😝🙄Here I take back any grumbling about the butler. He was the father figure that stood up for FuGui and did the right thing. Disciple Feng joined him. They were the only two capable of making a rational decision. HuaiZhu left her son an out option and HongYe let him take it. He wondered if she protected them with her flame. Damn right she did. His only weakness is having WangQuan blood. His mother’s can burn the impurities away. 😝JingTing still can’t register what a pathetic vengeful man he is. He is welcome to his alliance and fan club. They deserve whatever comes their way. It will not be an easy road for this pair, but the alliance does not get its way today. 😝 This was an exceptional episode. It was on point in every detail and you felt the injustice of it all and cheered when the flame sword came out. This was so well done I can’t praise it enough. This drama is worth the watch whether or not you have seen the first two installments.

ZhangQi saves the village by literally using his lifeblood to make the talismans. His last request is for FuGui to activate them. FuGui honors the request and the tree erupts with real peach blossoms. Qi sees the beautiful sight and rejoices that he has saved a home for a remnant group. QingTing is taking those that cannot bear to stay to the deer village. FuGui returns home and HongYe is angered that ZhangQi is not with him. He is furious when he rebukes his son for saving demons in the village and he gives 40 lashes to get FuGui to admit he was wrong in sparing innocent life. FuGui is starting to come into his own with better understanding of what the responsibilities are to being a blade. The YiQi alliance have already made plans to make him a mindless weapon with no conscience. They want to make him literally a weapon of their bidding. Even HongYe doesn’t agree with this but he cannot be shamed into lightening the punishment of his son. He is leaving FuGui to hang until he gives in. They have given HongYe til sunset the next day before the alliance takes over. HuaiZhu would be outraged at the hypocrisy of denouncing a peaceful village and killing any who want it to exist. Quan JingTing has been assisted in getting the dragon spine sword to begrudgingly accept him. He is so like RenFeng that it makes me disgusted..😝He now envisions himself at the head of the alliance and those touting kill the demons want to bow the knee to the black fox. The irony is overwhelming.😝 JingTing is killing the demons that FuGui refused to kill and has discovered QingTong. I am figuring this will be his angle to try to turn FuGui. I would like to see all of the alliance turned to dust and RuMu and QuZhuo the only ones left. These two might be truly human. There is no WangQuan legacy that Fu Gui should want to support. Zongye has succeeded in diminishing the best of them a second time. There is nothing about him to brag about except that his son managed to survive in spite of him. He and RuMu have that in common. These two will hopefully change the face of the alliance or eradicate it and do the world a favor.😝 12581 is renting a home for him and QingTing if she can live long enough to get there. Hopefully there will be a sibling reunion th right now, the odds are against her.

QingLi was mesmerizingly beautiful as she called the butterflies to give living fairy lights to the peach tree. The demons and humans praying together for a peaceful coexistence where both species could live their dreams. FuGui notices the deer demon trying to escape and follows him into the woods. As he battles, he realizes the demon is a decoy and distraction. He arrives to find the villagers under webbing and ZhangQi has been taken over because of a pill.They battle in a place of snow where the tree and butterfly reveal their true selves. QingLi is a ghost faced moth and she and the deer demon passed parasite eggs that look like seeds promising the villagers beautiful flowers. The parasites absorb their essence and becomes the medicine that WangJuang elder was selling. FuGui knew how to make Qi literally cough out the pill after his experience with RuMu. Qi is devastated as he hears the one he loved mock the very idea he held most dear. A village where demons and humans could live happily with no killing. He killed her himself because there was no other option for the vile deceit and death she caused. She planned for the entire village to be gone, the essences refined into pills and Qi her demon puppet by her side. This was her real dream. They came back from the snow place to bury the dead. Qi knows his blood will kill the tree and he purges it from the village. I am not sure if he makes the attempt to salvage his dream, but he does make sure there is no more death by parasites and that the production of the evil drug is forever destroyed in the village that was a paradise just yesterday. While ZhangQi is handling the funerals FuGui gives QingTong her first sword called dust seeker. He teaches her the final stage of the sword technique and they agree to follow their individual paths for now with the hope fate might let them travel together as she had once dreamed for him. It is such a beautiful and bittersweet moment. This episode was so poignant as innocent dreams were turned into nightmares and the most beautiful of them had the ugliest intentions. I am hoping the black blade does not become like HongYe, but finds his way through to the other side to continue with the peaceful dream he holds dear. But each generation has struggled with the same question. Can humans and demons truly coexist in a peaceful environment? I think Fu Gui and QingTong are hoping they can.

Quan Jingting will be helped to absorb the dragon spine sword with the promise to push the soldier to the dark at the appropriate time. FuGui and QingTong arrive at Peach village where she is entranced with humans and demons living together peacefully. They have a misadventure with a raccoon dog demon who locks them in the forest with a poisoned fog. Qingtong reacts to the poison and tells FuGui the duckling all the hopes and fears she has for FuGui the soldier. It is quite sweet and he quietly listens to her.🥰 When they finally get to Mr Zhang’s house he and Fu Gui have a battle of strength to see if Mr Zhang will comply. Since he lost he answered Fu Gui’s questions but had no clue about the medicine made in his village. As they look around there is a flower blooming that seems to have an effect on those that breathe the pollen in. FuGui notices the middle of all the flowers has disappeared and the deer demon is sharing the seeds to plant more. He is the most suspicious candidate for now. QingTong wants to know how QingLi and Mr Zhang met. Their story seems very similar to the soldier and spider demon. 🥰They are waiting to celebrated the peach blossoms and for the butterfly demon to reveal how she persuaded the demons to coexist peacefully with humans. They talk briefly about the Phoenix flower that has Fu Gui’s attention. This town appears very peaceful and idyllic, but something is eerie about the Phoenix flowers and the deer demon that distributes them.

Disciple Feng again thinks she is helping with Qingtong. She can’t trust her because she is a demon. Qingtong doesn’t realize she is healed and is told she has three days. She wants to make him the picture of the pavilion on Huai river. She warns Qingtong that she will only cause trouble for FuGui and she will report the demon to the master. A candid conversation between the cousins confirms that she and FenGui should part ways. HongYe has FuGui report in so he can be scolded strongly for not killing the spider demons and for going there without permission. RuMu tries to lighten things up by reminding him that FuGui dealt with the master without killing innocents. HongYe was far from happy with this report and told RuMu to shut up and stay out of the conversation. Jingting wants the sword and will sell his soul to get it. He wants to lead the alliance and feed the sword WangQuan blood. His loyal disciple who promised to stay with him and see he got out safely was sacrificed so the sword would appear. The black fox messenger warned him the cost to his person for accepting it into his body and Qingtong basically said bring it on. HongYe’s spies have found out where the medicine was made — a rare city where humans and demons reside. He is known as the black sword in the alliance. He is planning on relinquishing his sword the next day and live peacefully. Fu Gui has been given the job of escorting him. I like the butler, but sometimes it is tiresome for him to give those fatherly speeches excusing HongYe of his choices with his son. For all the times HongYe has been a disappointment, I kinda grit my teeth when he tells FuGui to fulfill his task and not disappoint his father again. This alliance is more evil than the demons they want killed. They remove humanity from themselves and pat themselves on the back at how the world is a better place because they control it.😝The black sword takes after his father and is a decent person. This is who Hongye should be like. Instead they are going to find a way to blame him for the medicine even tho Hongye says he is not. But this is also why he wants Fu Gui to guard him. Fu Gui has asked Qingtong to accompany him and Qingtong has made sure Disciple Feng knows she is leaving with no plans to return.

The disciple only came with intel long known. I expected more from her.😝She has a good heart but annoys more than helps. Qingtong drinks the remaining poison and manages to finally get the antidote from Madam Yin. Instead of using the antidote she gives half of her life to her brother who is now in human form. Madam Yin has a blood grudge because she was led to believe her love’s essence was spared to reform. This turned out to be a lie, but I do not know the backstory to know who betrayed the promise to her. She laments over her loss and wants HongYe to know the same pain. She is totally clueless since he has lived with that pain and more for the last 20 years. She thinks he will mourn his son. Not compared to HuaiZhu. FuGui has figured it all out and goes to spider cave and even in a near death state can beat up all the spiders. He frees the spiders and runs off the Master who vows to return to finish the job. Jingting is pouting over his loss of cultivation but thanks to a disciple we find out some of his backstory. He is very like Jin Ren Feng.😝😝His goal is power and he will sacrifice anything for it. This explains his apathy towards his child but makes him even more unforgivable. He wants to get the sword made of dragon spine which is why he opted to turn himself over to guard the sword tomb. This will give him two of the three things he needs for true dragon power. He has a scale which is why his arm is the way it is. The disciple tries to help FuGui by destroying the antidote.😝She is jealous and like Qingtong didn’t bother to discuss things with FuGui to find out if there was any chance it was the antidote. Fortunately FuGui shows up in time to save the day. The disciple isn’t happy and threatens to tattletale to master. She hasn’t done it yet but is waiting to decide. FuGui asks her directly why she did not talk to him about her situation with spider cave master. She tells him her brother would have been killed if she told and yet she still poisoned him. 😝🙄 Qingtong believes she has saved both her brother and FuGui so she happily hands him the bottle of antidote and collapses to die. FuGui gives her the antidote and calls for RuMu. He is mocked for saving the spider when only five days left til poison kills him. FuGui has determined that now is the best time to remove poison but he needs assistance. This is where RuMu comes in to close off his meridians so the poison can be purged from his system. I am hoping they think to make more antidote using the poison. The black fox notices the soldier blade has warmed to the spider demon. She sees this as time to exploit the weakness. She and HongYe both forget how powerful love is. This episode ends on a note of hope for the future in spite of the signs indicating otherwise.

This episode deals with the repercussions of coup attempt and a prophecy. HongYe surprises FuGui by standing up for him with the elders. FuGui surprises HongYe by asking why? HongYe is not used to being questioned. He has missed his opportunity to understand what they achieved at the convention. He still thinks with the sword and misses the heartfire needed to wield the heaven earth strike. He is haunted still by his dreams and does not see that his imprisonment of FuGui may be the exact thing that makes everything come to pass in the prophecy. He is as tunnel visioned on HuaiZhu’s request as the elders in alliance are shortsighted in killing off demons for no cause. This genocide is why the hate stays so firm on both sides. RuMu is friends with a dragon demon. It is not said why she feels she has wronged him. FuGui wishes him well and sends him on his way to find her. Thankfully the cousins have kept their bond intact in spite of their father’s hindering ways and binding parenting. FuGui deals with Jingting and I hope it is permanent cultivation destruction. This was a just punishment and he served it coldly with no regret or remorse as Jingting did his son. He could cry crocodile tears plenty for show but he has steadfastly been pretty disinterested in the welfare of his son unless he is useful to his cause of taking down HongYe. Here the fathers are very similar. They never see them as sons but as tools to be used. When FuGui realized his father’s judgment was not out of concern for him but to quiet the alliance members while he permanently imprisoned his son, he was greatly saddened by his father’s lack of faith in him to not be the cause of what was foretold. The kinship they almost had in that perfect moment has already been trampled by HongYe’s lack of faith. This is what his father stole from him when he suppressed the best part of his son to ready him for the alliance. HongYe did not see he was made lesser as a result and faulted himself rather than his father’s interference in changing his core of belief. The black fox can cackle away at his attempts to delay but even she sees what HongYe refuses to acknowledge. The spider cave master has learned Qingtong is human and has given her a time limit to give something to FuGui. I am not sure what it will do, but she gives it to him to save her weak ‘brother’ and the fealty she swore to FuGui is tossed aside. He has sacrificed far more but she doesn’t have the heart to have her sibling die. So along with FuGui to HongYe, I now have to look at Qingtong and ask why? She gave him no opportunity to help her out of the blackmail mess she was in. After all she has seen him do she joins HongYe in lacking faith in him. As she leaves the disciple is questioning the spider superior and will hopefully undo or at least make known something has been done to FuGui.
