Ancient Love Poetry Episode 26 Recap
> Ancient Love Poetry Recap
Yuanling Marsh was Feng Ran's former home. Feng Ran came to pay respects to the Old Tree Demon. The Old Tree Demon was her only family and was killed by Jing Yang and Sen Yun. Feng Ran was a phoenix, but because she was born inauspicious since childhood, she was thrown into Yuanling Marsh. the Old Tree Demon used his inner core to warm her body for three days and three nights, which allowed her to survive.
Since then, she and the Old Tree Demon depended on each other. However, during the Immortal-Demon War back then, Jing Yang and Sen Yun destroyed Yuanling Marsh beyond recognition. The Old Tree Demon was burned alive by the Heavenly Fire in that war to protect her. Jing Yang is Jing Jian's brother, but Feng Ran distinguishes clearly between gratitude and grudges. She did not hold Jing Yang's enmity against Jing Jian, but she would never forgive Jing Yang.
The Three-Headed Fire Dragon intended to drain Jing Yang's immortal power, but stopped because of Qingmu and his group, preparing to deal with these four first. Outside, Qingmu told Houchi that he had found a way to make the Heavenly Emperor revoke the marriage. The Heavenly Emperor's bestowal of marriage was known throughout the Four Seas, and Houchi knew that revoking the marriage was not easy.
Qingmu mentioned the disappearance of Jing Yang and a group of immortal generals in Yuanling Marsh not long ago. Jing Yang's spiritual power was not shallow, yet he disappeared without a trace. Qingmu and Jing Jian suspected that Jing Yang was captured by the Three-Headed Fire Dragon, so they specifically requested this battle. The Heavenly Emperor promised Qingmu that as long as he brought Jing Yang back, he could then revoke the marriage.
After listening, Houchi also brought up the matter of Feng Ran killing the Third Prince of Xuanjing Palace. During the war between the Immortal and Demon Realms back then, Sen Yun and Jing Yang fought, accidentally killing the Old Tree Demon. To avenge the killing of her family, Feng Ran did not hesitate to become an enemy of both the Immortal and Demon Realms. She wished to get rid of Jing Yang immediately.
But now, Qingmu wanted to rescue Jing Yang as leverage for revoking the marriage, which would inevitably put Feng Ran in a difficult position. Feng Ran was Houchi's person, and Qingmu could not disregard Feng Ran's feelings. He only decided to think of another way to revoke the marriage. Houchi came to Yuanling Marsh this time because there were signs of a demigod breaking through here. She suspected that Baixuan was here.
As they were talking, the Three-Headed Fire Dragon's men came to capture them. They did not resist and went with them. Qingmu and Houchi discovered that the Three-Headed Fire Dragon was acting against the heavens by activating the Spirit Gathering Array, forcibly absorbing the spiritual power of immortal soldiers. His spiritual power was likely not low. The two were brought before Jing Jian.
As soon as Qingmu saw Jing Jian, he put on a show of enemies meeting, making their captors lower their guard. Qingmu then planned to defeat them one by one and rescue Jing Yang. Jing Yang did not appreciate Qingmu's gesture, only saying that Qingmu attacking him just now was intentionally humiliating him. Houchi looked at Jing Yang's arrogant appearance and could not help but mock his current predicament.
Now, there was a barrier set up by the Three-Headed Fire Dragon in the cave, which was not easy for them to break through. They had to lure the Three-Headed Fire Dragon over and make him break the barrier himself. A god's promotion was bound to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation. Houchi wanted to lure the heavenly lightning into the cave to trick the Three-Headed Fire Dragon into coming, so she bowed to Jing Yang.
Her bow attracted the heavenly lightning and also attracted the Three-Headed Fire Dragon. The Three-Headed Fire Dragon appeared. He was now at the peak of the demigod level, not someone Houchi and Qingmu could withstand. Feng Ran and Jing Jian appeared to help them. Upon seeing Jing Yang, Feng Ran only then realized that Qingmu and Jing Jian had come to rescue Jing Yang, using this matter as leverage for revoking the marriage.
Seeing her enemy made Feng Ran see red. Feng Ran wanted to kill Jing Yang for revenge, but Jing Jian stopped her. He did not want to see Feng Ran do something wrong here. Qingmu and Houchi, on the other hand, unconditionally respected and supported Feng Ran. Feng Ran ultimately decided to let Jing Yang go.
She would definitely kill Jing Yang with her own hands in the future, but at this moment, she had to take Houchi away from Yuanling Marsh. Seeing Feng Ran's killing intent disappear, the Three-Headed Fire Dragon became enraged and prepared to kill these few people directly. However, the Heavenly Tribulation arrived at this moment. Houchi knew that if the Three-Headed Fire Dragon became a god, it would cause immense suffering.
Therefore, Qingmu, Feng Ran, and Jing Jian stepped forward to stop the Three-Headed Fire Dragon. The Three-Headed Fire Dragon failed to ascend to godhood. Having failed to ascend to godhood, the Three-Headed Fire Dragon would certainly not let them go. Feng Ran led them to the place where Tianqi had activated the World Extinguishing Array back then. No one dared to step into this place.
Qingmu's Taicang Spear suppressed the residual power of the True God within the array, allowing them to stay safely. Feng Ran was angry because Jing Jian had just protected Jing Yang. Jing Jian was in a dilemma between the two of them, only saying that if one day they faced each other with weapons, he would use his own life to resolve their feud. Seeing them like this, Qingmu sighed. Jing Yang's actions ultimately harmed Jing Jian.
There was certainly no possibility for Jing Jian and Feng Ran. While talking, Houchi only heard someone calling out to Shanggu. She walked towards Yuemi's statue and saw some fragments of the past on Yuemi, but she did not know that this was the past between her and Yuemi. The Three-Headed Fire Dragon discovered that the four of them were still safe and sound within the array. In a fit of rage, he prepared to take their lives.
Qingmu wielded the divine power of Bai Jue within the Taicang Spear and defeated the Three-Headed Fire Dragon. The Three-Headed Fire Dragon returned to the Demon Realm injured to report. Although he failed to ascend to godhood this time, he left his Dragon's Breath inside Qingmu, meaning Qingmu would not live much longer. Upon hearing this, Sen Jian only told the Three-Headed Fire Dragon not to inform Tianqi about this.
Qingmu was clearly from the Heavenly Palace; his death would be entirely beneficial to their Demon race. On the other side, Qingmu and Jing Jian returned to the Heavenly Palace to report. Houchi and Feng Ran went to the Heavenly Palace together to accompany Qingmu in dissolving the marriage contract.
