> Fights Break Sphere: Season 1 Recap
Xiao Yan told Xiao Xun'er and the others about his night exploration of the palace. Xiao Xun'er was very surprised that the Soul Hall's influence had infiltrated the palace, and Elder Mi Tengshan had disappeared for no reason because he had investigated the palace. Xiao Yan planned to have Xiao Xun'er and Han Xian accompany him back into the palace. Nalan Yanran also arrived in front of them at this time, deciding to enter the palace with them.
In the secret passage, Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran had a verbal dispute, but Xiao Yan coughed up blood because his internal injuries had not yet recovered. Seeing Xiao Yan's condition, Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran's verbal battle finally stopped. As they hurried forward, Xiao Xun'er learned from Nalan Yanran that Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran had previously come to the secret passage together.
She felt a pang of jealousy, so Xiao Yan had to act cute and beg for forgiveness. Xiao Xun'er softened and easily forgave Xiao Yan. Nalan Yanran encountered the Emperor of the Chu Yun Empire in the secret passage. The Emperor recognized the descendants of the three great families before him and planned to eliminate them in the secret passage. As long as they died, the entire Chu Yun Empire would fall into the hands of the Soul Hall.
Xiao Yan heard these words and knew that the person before him was not the real Emperor. The fake Emperor attacked them. He tried to defeat them one by one but was no match for Xiao Yan's Xuan Heavy Ruler. The fake Emperor fell, and the figure of Blood Sect Fan Lao departed, leaving behind the truly weak and pale Emperor lying on the ground.
At this moment, Crown Prince Yelán arrived, and Nalan Yanran also retrieved the Nalan family's treasure, the Di Tuo Ancient Jade, from the Emperor's body. Originally, Nalan Jie had long known that the Emperor was possessed by an evil entity from the Soul Hall, so he had embedded the Nalan family's treasure into the Emperor's body to suppress some of the Soul Hall's power.
Now that the evil entity on the Emperor had been expelled, Nalan Yanran naturally had to take back what belonged to the Nalan family. Xiao Yan wanted to know what purpose this treasure served. Nalan Yanran placed the treasure on the Emperor's chest and then used her Dou Qi to heal the Emperor's injuries. The Emperor awoke, and Nalan Yanran bowed to him as the nineteenth-generation patriarch of the Nalan family and the Prime Minister of the Chu Yun Empire.
The Emperor learned everything that had happened recently from Yelán's words. He stated that he had been possessed by an evil entity for many years and was now too weak to govern the court. He expressed his wish to pass the throne to Crown Prince Yelán on an chosen day and ordered the entire palace to be thoroughly searched to find the Soul Hall's pawns.
In the storage ring space, Xiao Yan showed the patterned Xuan Heavy Ruler to Yao Chen, stating that when he was fighting the fake Emperor in the secret passage, the Blood Sect's blood had splattered onto the Xuan Heavy Ruler. This Xuan Heavy Ruler was originally the Soul Hall's own weapon, and now the Blood Sect's blood had caused patterns to appear on it. Yao Chen's heart grew heavy.
He gathered his thoughts to investigate and discovered that the Xuan Heavy Ruler was actually a weapon used by Hun Miesheng back then. Xiao Yan was becoming increasingly proficient with the Xuan Heavy Ruler and dismissed the matter, but Yao Chen told Xiao Yan not to continue using the Xuan Heavy Ruler, even losing his temper and explaining that this Xuan Heavy Ruler was an evil object.
If Xiao Yan continued to use it, his mind would be corrupted, and he would become a habitual killer. Xiao Yan held the Xuan Heavy Ruler against himself, showing Yao Chen his resolve: swords kill people, but the fault lies with the person, not the sword. He wanted to keep using the Xuan Heavy Ruler. Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Chen flicked his sleeve and left, no longer paying attention to Xiao Yan.
After Xiao Xun'er returned from the secret passage, she had been restless. She brought up the Nalan family's Di Tuo Ancient Jade and wanted to know if the Gu family also possessed this treasure. She had heard that each of the five great families held a piece of Di Tuo Ancient Jade.
Xiao Yan interrupted Xiao Xun'er, as Xiao Zhan had once cautioned him never to mention anything about the Di Tuo Ancient Jade, as anyone who did would invite disaster. Xiao Yan stayed by Xiao Xun'er's side, and seeing her sleeping face, he carefully tucked her blanket in. At the Nalan family, Nalan Yanran summoned the Nalan family's three sons. Nalan Yanran brought up the Emperor's abdication and the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne.
She troubled her father to help her share more of the responsibilities both in the court and at home. The Nalan family's second and third sons were very displeased with Nalan Yanran's actions. Nalan Yanran revealed the Di Tuo Ancient Jade in her hand, stating that this jade contained all the Nalan family's wealth and secrets, and its holder was as if the ancestor himself had arrived. She had retrieved this treasure through her own ability.
Nalan Yanran's father heard Nalan Yanran's words, was greatly convinced by her, and held her in high esteem. Seeing that there was no hope of seizing the patriarch's position, the second and third sons could only propose the idea of dividing the family property. Nalan Yanran asked her father to leave first, and then questioned the two of them on how they had brought the Branding Poison into the family and how they had colluded with the Blood Sect.
Nalan Yanran had already investigated the cause of Nalan Jie's death and was deeply disheartened by the actions of the second and third sons. Just as she was questioning them, the two of them developed murderous intent towards Nalan Yanran. Fortunately, Nalan Yanran had already taken precautions, and the Eight Constant Attendants protected her, preventing the two from making any rash moves. Nalan Yanran stated that she was unwilling to execute her own uncles and slaughter their disciples and followers.
She only instructed the Eight Constant Attendants to bring the two before the clan members, have them explain the matter clearly, and then abolish their own Dou Qi. Nalan Jie had dedicated his life to the reputation of the Nalan family, eventually dying with resentment, and Nalan Yanran finally avenged Nalan Jie. Subsequently, Nalan Yanran's father came to plead for the second and third sons. Nalan Yanran believed her father was too soft-hearted.
She frankly told her father that even before they entered, she had already instructed the Eight Constant Attendants to kill both of them once their Dou Qi was abolished, and also slaughter all their disciples and followers. Nalan Yanran's father was shocked by Nalan Yanran's ruthlessness, but Nalan Yanran was merely following Nalan Jie's dying wishes. Seeing her father's disappointed and fearful gaze towards her, she felt a bitter taste in her heart. With high status and power came responsibilities heavier than others, and only now did Nalan Yanran understand the feeling of being powerless over one's own fate.
