This review may contain spoilers
Superb acting and delivery by Li Yifeng (Zhang Xiaofan), Zhao Liying (Bi Yao), Mao Zijun (Qin Wuyan), Yang Zi (Lu Xueqi), Chen Yi (Lin Jingyu), Qin Junjie (Zhang Shushu)
The theme of the story was held from the beginning to the end, which is an extremely rare in any type of series shown globally. The creatives even manage to hold Xiao Fan and Bi Yao's love through out. No side stepping.
I will start with the villains first:
How cruel is the Ghost Sect Leader. His is nothing more than a power hungry monster. And a pretentious lover/husband and a pretentious father. He is all about power and Lu Wei's mother said it clearly that he does not love his wife or daughter and he has brought about all this disaster himself for power. He manipulates Xiao Fan to about the Heaven Book under the umbrella that is it to revive Bi Yao while all the planning is to revive the Beast god and if Bi Yao get revive too, then that is a plus.
Then followed by Qin Wu Yan, whose cruelty has not limits, no boundaries. He is the mastermind of tricky. I still think that his love for Bi Yao is more of obsession, a competition, for his power, his trump Card.
Xiao Yicai seemed have always have greed in his heart. He wanted the be the successor of Qing Yun Sect. The blood of the beast god only enhanced what was already there. His beast god revelation fell flat. His true self and intentions should have been brought forth. Especially since the Ghost Sect Leader mentioned that only if Xiao Yicai's teacher found out that he was behind the Chusen Sword. And the hint was given again when Xiao Yicai attached Xiao Fan, but it seemed only Xiao Fan heard it.
Last but not least, the Evil Leader of the Righteous Sect, Dao Xuan. His ideals, his thoughts are mostly bad and bias. Without the Chusen Sword and with it any foul play of the Chusen Sword, he was willing to slaughter Xiao Fan for having two types of cultivation. He becomes influenced very easily by others, shows he is not a good leader. Furthermore, in his conversation with Senior Brother Wan, there is a sense of animosity and self proclaimed entitlement. He is a weak and insecure leader.
Moving on...
Lu Xueqi fell in love with Xiao Fan ten years ago and the flames continues to burn strong ten years later. She indirectly says this ti Xiao Fan, but base on his facial expressions, he either didn't care, it didn't mean anything or he simply did not get it. Nonetheless Lu Xueqi stands steadfast in support of Guili/Xiao Fan. She herself seem to learn that the sect you belong to does not make you good or bad, but it is what you have in your heart and your actions determine whether you are good or bad.
Lin Jingyu is a brother in deed, who also stands steadfast behind Guili. The unspoken feelings between Lin Jingyu and Jin Ping'er is beautiful. I am definitely shipping for these two. He is caught up in his own beliefs and she is between a rock and a hard place and yet belonging to the demon sect, she is righteous in her actions and heart. My heart sunk when she was badly wounded. But she got wounded saving Lin Jingyu.
Zheng Shushu never fails to put a smile on my face, he is fun, serious, and caring. He is also a good brother and friend who is always supportive and stands 100% behind Guili/Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan maintains his love for Bi Yao. He searches high, low, and in between to find a method to revive her. Although he joined the Ghost Sect and changed his name, HE STILL REMAINS ZHANG XIAO FAN! And this clearly shows that no matter where you are or what or name or affiliation is, as long as you are good by heart and deed, you are good. This is why his friends cannot turn their backs on him. And Xiao Fan breaks the stereotyping of if you are with a demon sect then you are bad. Xiao Fan helps his friends through out the journey, if it was not him, they probably would not have survived. Although the Ghost Sect Leader was able to take the Heaven Book from Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan was able to defeat the beast god. Now Xiao Fan is in the process of reviving Bi Yao, and now we wait.
I have to say there were too many flash backs of the same thing.
