Flying up without Disturb Episode 25 Recap
> Flying up without Disturb Recap
Master Zhong Xi found Kong Hou and was shocked to realize she was the Sovereign of the dark cultivators. Jiu Su immediately tried to kill Master Zhong Xi, but Kong Hou intervened, asserting that an excessive conflict with the Liuguang Sect was not suitable at that moment. Jiu Su, with a hint of sarcasm, agreed to let Kong Hou deal with her "former lover" but advised her to forget him quickly.
Kong Hou then tried to persuade Master Zhong Xi to leave, explaining their paths had diverged. However, Master Zhong Xi refused to believe her, prompting Kong Hou to threaten and injure him with her phoenix-headed konghou. Despite his injuries, Master Zhong Xi remained steadfast, declaring he would not leave without her. He offered himself as a source of spiritual energy, proposing that his alone would be enough for Kong Hou, thus sparing other minor cultivators.
Amused, Jiu Su complimented Master Zhong Xi's "bodhisattva heart" and agreed to his terms. Kong Hou, calling Master Zhong Xi a fool, ordered him to be taken away and imprisoned. While imprisoned, Master Zhong Xi urged Kong Hou to abandon her current path, believing her actions were a deception to fool Jiu Su. Kong Hou insisted she was the Sovereign of the Yueluo Clan and had no other choice.
Master Zhong Xi reminded her of their marriage vows, affirming his role as her husband and vowing to stand by her no matter what. He implored her to stop, emphasizing that her chosen path was breaking his heart and that he could protect her. Kong Hou, however, reiterated her helplessness, prompting a frustrated Master Zhong Xi to call her deluded. Meanwhile, Master Zhong Xi's sudden disappearance caused alarm among the various sects.
Jin Yue attempted to conceal the truth but knew the deception could not last. Jin Yue’s junior expressed concern that Jin Yue might be too harsh on Master Zhong Xi, highlighting Master Zhong Xi’s deep loyalty to his disciples and cultivation partner. Jin Yue acknowledged Master Zhong Xi’s character, understanding that he was prepared to face any consequences for his actions. Kong Hou continued to suffer from a cultivation struggle.
During a painful episode, one of Jiu Su's attendants assigned to monitor her was knocked unconscious and replaced by a disguised individual. This impostor rushed to Kong Hou's side, but she, mistaking him for one of Jiu Su's spies, angrily ordered him out. Fairy Ling Bo and Lin Hu found themselves lost in a forest, repeatedly circling back to the same spot.
When Ling Bo complained of foot pain from the long walk, Lin Hu picked her up and carried her to a resting place. He lit a bonfire, fetched water in a leaf, and prepared a spot for her to rest. Dismissing her request for a proper cup, Lin Hu then offered to apply medicine to her injured foot. Ling Bo playfully called him a lecher and initially refused, but Lin Hu insisted, teasing that a fairy shouldn't mind such trivialities.
He applied a secret Liuguang Sect ointment, warning her that it would sting but work quickly. Later, Jiu Su visited Kong Hou, suggesting they engage in dual cultivation. Kong Hou initially refused, but Jiu Su appealed to their sibling bond to disclose the history of the Yueluo Clan. He explained that the clan, from Mount Yueluo, discovered that absorbing other cultivators' spiritual energy greatly accelerated their cultivation.
This practice led to the clan’s rapid growth, but a century ago, an ascending Lingyou Realm elder cast a forbidden curse on their Energy Drain Art. Now, using it caused a dangerous backlash, requiring immediate absorption of new spiritual energy to prevent madness and death; the curse was also hereditary. Kong Hou questioned if abandoning the art would break the curse, but Jiu Su adamantly refused, blaming the Lingyou sects.
He recounted how the major sects had annihilated their clan, resulting in their father’s death. Before his demise, their father transferred all his life’s power to Kong Hou, making her the clan’s sole hope. Lacking the Five Spiritual Roots needed for ascension, Jiu Su resorted to extracting spiritual roots from others. He revealed his true intention: Kong Hou, possessing the Five Spiritual Roots and their father’s power, could ascend and lead the clan to glory.
Kong Hou expressed skepticism, questioning his true motives, but Jiu Su dodged the question, advising her to visit their clansmen. Following Jiu Su's advice, Kong Hou visited the clan village. There, Xiao Pei asked her to deliver new clothes to her younger brother, explaining she was forbidden from leaving the palace. In the village, the boy eagerly asked about his sister, and Kong Hou gave him the clothes.
An elder revealed the unbearable agony of the curse, which drove some to commit unforgivable acts. He showed Kong Hou his self-inflicted wounds, explaining that physical pain was their only means of resisting the urge to absorb others' spiritual energy. As they spoke, a villager announced that Xiao Pei's brother was suffering a severe episode. The elder sorrowfully explained the boy now had to endure it alone.
Heartbroken, Kong Hou watched the child run off in agony before she too experienced a flare-up. A guard rushed to her aid, channeling spiritual energy to relieve her pain, and she recognized him as Master Zhong Xi in disguise. Concerned for his safety, she ordered him to leave, but he refused, vowing to stay and find a solution.
Kong Hou insisted her Yueluo blood forever separated them, but he reminded her of her past sacrifices for him and reaffirmed his resolve to never abandon her. Back at the palace, Xiao Pei cheerfully asked Kong Hou about her brother. Filled with guilt, Kong Hou delivered the devastating news that he had died. Soon after, Jiu Su confronted Kong Hou, asking about her feelings after seeing the clansmen and the child's death.
Kong Hou realized he had been watching her and accused him of orchestrating the scene. Jiu Su denied it, reiterating his commitment to their father's cause before declaring he would capture more people for her to absorb. During a meeting, the dark cultivators proposed attacking the fragmented Ten Great Sects. Kong Hou rejected the strategy, warning it would force the sects to unite. When her subordinates demanded vengeance, she rebuked them as incompetent.
Surprisingly, Jiu Su sided with Kong Hou, hinting at a different plan that required her cooperation. Later, Kong Hou confided in Master Zhong Xi that Jiu Su's refusal to attack was highly suspicious. Believing he was plotting something larger, and noting his persistent demands for dual cultivation as a prerequisite for revealing his plan, Kong Hou decided to proceed with it to uncover his true intentions. Master Zhong Xi cautioned her to be extremely careful.
