Why?

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.

i am happy that this ended, will be lying…

i am happy that this ended, will be lying if i say i was interested in anything going on... if i spoke the language i would've "watched" it as a podcast & done other sh*t just so time could pass... & yes i am happy Yoryak overcame his phobia (mmm like throwing a child in the deep end of a pool & they can swim - kinda...) or Ter suddenly cozying up to Taemrak, lets hope he doesn't get as handsy as Ohm did (he the type that would, if u go by the way he acted with Wandee). Plakao coming out as A-sexual & finding a partner that was similarly oriented sexually. it was a cute way to bring attention to A-sexual's or the PTSD factor caused by trauma - & yet i was bored out of my mind. i didn't care for anything & might as well have been watching paint dry. fast-forwarded all of the lovey dovey scene between the mains & seriously couldn't care less for Oye & Cher tying the knot. **********************************************************************************************************************************bummer.. this was so promising at the start & it was hilarious at times & this was so much fun to watch. but then it slowly turned boring & tedious - so this a one off & i ain't recommending this to anyone. hope the mains find a better project in their next drama/BL & i hope to see more of Drake

Battles, rescues, cleansing and 12580 named

This episode was very well done. The micro expressions of the actors are spot on. Jing ting’s smirks and sneers are done with such precision. His hate seethes from him subtly and not so hidden. Who needs enemies when family can plot your death? RuMu and FuGui split up and FuGui takes on rescuing the friends from Xiyun Hall while RuMu keeps battles going at the convention. The elder WangQuan was supposed to take out FuGui while in Xiyun Hall and clear the way for HongYe to be murdered. It is nauseating that those demon talismans are still in existence 20 years later. They are even more disgusting than the ‘medicine’ the elder created. They can force demons to do whatever commanded. The Nangong family was notorious for inventing these horrid things and HongYe is surprised to see them back. I don’t know why since he was clueless of his elder’s popular commerce of ‘medicine’.😝FuGui puts up with a lot of crap from the arrogant guide demon, but when that extends to admiring 12580’s dance costume he gives the demon a nice thump.😂 Nobody messes with his spider lady. 🥰 Jingting and elder compare notes and already know what the cousins have planned. Both elders think they have this taken care of. The elder WangQuan has demon king Huodou made up of clones that cannot be killed unless real one dies. Here serendipity comes into play. 12580 has taken the place of one of the dancers and when confronted by one she leaves a lace tracker on her. Guess who the ringleader is? FuGui was greeted with a sizable force and managed to keep fire out of it and rescue the hostages. He arrives just in time to take out Huodou who thinks the poison gas will kill them before they find the real her. So glad she was mistaken. RuMu has done well tho he seems like a bully. He has seriously hurt every opponent he battled but he refrained from killing them as the demon inside wanted. His father finally tested the talisman to force RuMu to kill. Right when he was ready to succumb to it, FuGui shows up to interrupt the battle. Jingting ups the ante and has RuMu focus on HongYe. This is a good sight with father and son fighting side by side. There is a moment of excellence as FuGui remembers his mother’s flame can drive out evil. He calls upon it to cleanse RuMu who coughs out the pill and stays unconscious. QuZhuo quickly assesses the combo of ingredients which includes mind control and forced obedience. While he and HongYe are discussing the pill’s makeup the elder WangQuan plans to strike HongYe. Jingting stops the blade and kills the elder. He pretends allegiance and only wanting his name returned. I think there is a reason he wants in the sword tomb and unfortunately HongYe obliges him. I am glad the demon talisman was discovered in his pocket and clearly proves his collusion with the elder. Father and son triumphed today with a cleansing assist from mom. Here HuaiZhu has something to smile down upon. This was a victorious moment for the power and strength of their clans used for a just cause. It was beautiful and well choreographed. Some of the cgi has looked a bit cheesy, but this time it was a battle well executed. RuMu is healing and when his snarky self comes out, FuGui is treating him like a guest. I hope he is just reminding RuMu how dangerous this mission was and not a true rift between them. RuMu accepts the shunning but does not leave until he has revealed to 12580 the cost FuGui paid for her human form. He gave ten years of his life. She is overwhelmed with his gesture and promises to stick with him indefinitely. FuGui brushes his sacrifice off saying he would do that for any creature wanting to survive, but I think the demon he thumped for ogling her would beg to differ.😂🥰 FuGui decides to give her a name. 12580 becomes Qingtong. The episode ends with her learning the symbols of her name and looking forward to finishing her sword training. The cast is doing such an excellent job of portraying the dynamics of family and friends and enemies. It shows these lines can be very blurred and muddled. Cast and production are successful at drawing you into their world and engaging with the various characters. They successfully make you feel for them strongly, love or hate. Kudos to them for such good work.
