Feud Episode 31 Recap
> Feud Recap
The members of Jingyun Sect refused to surrender. Xuanwei led everyone in casting a barrier, but they still couldn't stop Xiao Jingshan. Many were severely wounded. At a critical moment, Lv Suguan stepped in front of Meng Chu and blocked a fatal strike, but was gravely injured herself. As she lay dying, she revealed to Meng Chu that the medicine she had given to Qu Xingman wasn’t real poison—it was merely a fake-death potion.
Xiao Jingshan confronted Xuanwei, demanding Li Qingyue’s sword. Seeing so many disciples in the sect suffering and dying, Xuanwei couldn't bear to let the tragedy continue, and finally handed over Li Qingyue’s sword. Up in the Nine Heavens, Longyuan led the others in resisting the onslaught of the demonic beasts, trying to prevent them from entering the human realm—otherwise, the world would fall into chaos. But there were simply too many beasts, and everyone was clearly reaching their limit.
As the protective barrier was about to collapse, Li Mo decided to sacrifice himself to block the beasts. Hong Lian tried to stop him but was too late. Just before his final moment, Li Mo turned back and told Hong Lian that if he could live another life, he would choose her again. Hearing his last words, Hong Lian was overwhelmed with sorrow. Having obtained both Bai Jiusi and Li Qingyue’s swords, Xiao Jingshan approached the Infinite Stele.
The guardian beast was easily slain by him. Fan Jiaojiao tried to stop him, but Xiao Jingshan warned him that his daughter, Fan Ling Er, was in danger. Fan Jiaojiao rushed to her side only to find Fan Ling Er trapped by a formation. No matter what he did, he couldn’t break it, and he could only watch helplessly as she withered away. Fan Ling Er held resentment toward Fan Jiaojiao, for he had crippled her cultivation.
Had she retained her spiritual power, even if her physical body was destroyed, a trace of her spirit could have remained in the human realm to continue cultivating. But now, she would vanish forever and could not forgive him. Hearing this, Fan Jiaojiao was filled with deep regret and finally understood that acting in the name of protecting his daughter had actually ruined her. Bai Jiusi and Li Qingyue were trapped together.
To escape, one of them had to be left behind. Both wanted to sacrifice themselves for the other, but in the end, Bai Jiusi acted first. Li Qingyue watched as Bai Jiusi began to fade, overcome with grief. With Bai Jiusi's disappearance, the barrier guarding the Infinite Stele collapsed. Xiao Jingshan was ready to fully destroy the stele. Just as he was about to strike, Li Qingyue suddenly appeared.
She tried to summon her former weapon, but it had already been tainted by Xiao Jingshan’s demonic aura and could not respond to her. Though her powers had grown significantly, she still couldn’t defeat Xiao Jingshan quickly. Desperate, he chose to sacrifice his own body to boost his cultivation. Meng Chu blamed Xuanwei for handing the sword to Xiao Jingshan. Xuanwei bowed his head in shame—at that point, there had been no other option.
Li Mo’s sacrifice finally stopped the demonic beasts, but the losses in the Nine Heavens were catastrophic. The survivors looked at their fallen comrades and were filled with sorrow. Unwilling to give up, Fan Jiaojiao still tried everything to save his daughter, but he, too, was severely injured and could only watch as Fan Ling Er vanished completely, never to return.
Xiao Jingshan attempted to kill Li Qingyue, but the sword he wielded—Bai Jiusi’s—still held a sliver of Bai Jiusi’s spirit. In that critical moment, the sword recognized its true master once more, and returned to Li Qingyue’s hand, along with her own. With both swords, she dealt a severe blow to Xiao Jingshan. The Infinite Stele, having already been heavily damaged by Xiao Jingshan, began to crumble.
Li Qingyue wanted to repair it, but after the brutal battle, she was too badly injured to do so. Just as Xiao Jingshan was about to revel in the destruction of the Three Realms along with himself, a crowd of people appeared before the Infinite Stele. Seeing that he was completely surrounded and his plan had failed, Xiao Jingshan gave up struggling and used his own body to forge a time-reversal sundial, which he gifted to Li Qingyue.
