Feud Episode 29 Recap
> Feud Recap
Li Qingyue instructed Meng Chu’s master to escort Meng Chu and Qu Xingman back to the Yinlian Sect. Unexpectedly, Lv Suguan also appeared and insisted on going along. Li Qingyue had no choice but to agree, and she handed Bai Jiusi’s sword to Meng Chu’s master. Since only when Bai Jiusi’s and Li Qingyue’s swords were combined could the Infinite Stele be destroyed—and now that Bai Jiusi had lost his senses—both swords were in Li Qingyue’s possession.
She believed it would be safest to keep the swords separated to prevent Xiao Jingshan from obtaining both of them. Upon arriving at the village, Li Qingyue discovered that the villagers’ souls had been drained. Fan Ling Er speculated that Xiao Jingshan’s formation couldn’t have been set up overnight—it must have begun long ago—so she asked Zhang Suan to use his spiritual power to search the area. Sure enough, they found Xiao Jingshan.
As soon as Xiao Jingshan appeared, he told Li Qingyue that the souls of the villagers were all stored beneath a mountain he had created, inside the Stele of Joy. Li Qingyue tried to reason with him, but Xiao Jingshan was completely consumed by his obsession with revenge and refused to back down no matter what she said. Qu Xingman’s mother had already fallen under Xiao Jingshan’s control, and now the entire Yinlian Sect was in his grasp.
When Meng Chu’s group arrived at the sect, they found that even the formation had been altered. In order to rescue everyone, Li Qingyue took Bai Jiusi into the Stele of Joy and found that the villagers’ souls seemed unusually happy inside, living peaceful lives. As Li Qingyue grew suspicious, someone suddenly shouted that the Divine Lord had arrived. Everyone knelt in worship—except for Bai Jiusi and Li Qingyue.
Seeing the two of them not kneel, the others began accusing them. In the distance, eight palanquins carried a grand sedan chair, which was slowly lowered in front of Bai Jiusi and Li Qingyue. Out stepped Xiao Jingshan. Bai Jiusi immediately shielded Li Qingyue. Xiao Jingshan had created this illusion of harmony just to show Li Qingyue, hoping to convince her to join him in overthrowing all order and remaking the world.
Li Qingyue refused, but the villagers, after hearing Xiao Jingshan’s words, turned to support him and accused Bai Jiusi and Li Qingyue of being evil entities, ready to attack them. Meanwhile, Meng Chu and the others had made their way through the mist and encountered venomous snakes once raised in the sect. Now, the snakes no longer recognized Qu Xingman and attacked the group.
Eventually, those who remained reached the sect’s inner grounds and saw Xiao Jingshan seated as sect master. He brought out A Ke and Meng Chu’s master, both under his control. Qu Xingman tried to fight, but it was futile, as the Xiao Jingshan before them was not his true body. The shouting of the villagers reminded Li Qingyue of the time when she had been condemned by the public, a moment that nearly cost her life.
Zhang Suan and Fan Ling Er stepped forward to shield her. Witnessing this scene, Li Qingyue couldn’t help but feel hatred rising in her heart. Bai Jiusi noticed her change and quickly tried to dissuade her. Xiao Jingshan forced them to choose between saving either Meng Chu’s master or A Ke—only one could live. Meng Chu and Qu Xingman hesitated, unable to decide. Lv Suguan decisively chose Meng Chu’s master.
But Meng Chu’s master, unwilling to let his disciples be threatened or manipulated by Xiao Jingshan, chose to take his own life. At that time, the seal on the Nine Heavens that held back demonic beasts was broken. The suppressed beasts began escaping. Long Yuan led his people in a desperate attempt to stop them from breaking into the mortal world. The beasts were too numerous, and Long Yuan’s arm suffered a severe poison injury.
He cut off his own arm and sent Li Mo to find Bai Jiusi, preparing to fight the beasts to the death. Li Mo didn’t want to leave, but was stopped. At that moment, Hong Lian once again transformed into human form and brought Li Mo back to the battlefield.
