Guardian Episode 29 Recap
> Guardian Recap
The Special Investigation Unit relentlessly pieced together scattered clues and deciphered intricate riddles. Following the first hint provided by Sha Ya, the remaining mysteries began to unravel. Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei, and the team successfully located two of the missing individuals within ten hours. However, the one person vital to Zhao Yunlan, and deeply hated by both Sha Ya and Wang Xiangyang, remained unfound.
Meanwhile, the King Night stirred with escalating excitement in the Subterranean realm, its growing power threatening to break free as the gate holding it back teetered on the brink. Consumed by anxiety as Wang Xiangyang's deadline loomed, Zhao Yunlan's thoughts came to a standstill. A fleeting memory of his father's childhood lessons on understanding emotional logic resurfaced, prompting him to meticulously analyze the situation and deduce the kidnapper's psychological state.
With a new lead, Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei finally located Zhao Xinci on the rooftop of Dragon City University, where Wang Xiangyang was waiting. Despite suffering severe backlash from the Karma Brush, Wang Xiangyang refused to yield. He had completed the final energy reactor and was determined to execute his last act of revenge by killing his ultimate enemy.
The Special Investigation Unit members moved to prevent him, and seeing the tide turn, Yaqing vanished, leaving the dying Wang Xiangyang to glare resentfully at the rescued Zhao Xinci. Wang Xiangyang's intense hatred for Zhao Xinci stemmed from a tragic night. When his pregnant wife, Bai Suxia, was critically ill, he saw doctors rushing to attend to an injured Zhao Xinci in the same hospital, providing him with transfusions while his wife was seemingly abandoned.
He became convinced that Zhao Xinci had cost his wife and unborn child their lives. However, Wang Xiangyang was unaware that Zhao Xinci had instructed the doctors to prioritize Bai Suxia. Unfortunately, her blood type was extremely rare, and she succumbed before a matching supply could arrive. Realizing the King Night had manipulated him into hating the wrong person, Wang Xiangyang shed tears of remorse.
He entrusted the Karma Brush to Zhao Yunlan before disintegrating into dust, his life ending in profound regret. With his death, he warned that the door he opened could not be closed. As the Subterranean realm descended into chaos, Wu Tian'en and his son fought valiantly to defend the Sky Pillar, but they were ultimately overwhelmed as the structure, which had served as the King Night's prison, collapsed.
After ten thousand years of slumber, the King Night's ambition remained undimmed, declaring the end of the era of peace forged by the Black-Robed Envoy. He proclaimed his intention to write a new chapter and lead his followers. Only when the world began to convulse did Zhao Yunlan and his team realize their efforts had only captured a puppet.
They finally grasped that the Karma Brush's true purpose was to construct an energy reactor, using Wang Xiangyang's body as the final component. Its completion dismantled the Sky Pillar, freeing the King Night from his ancient prison. With a catastrophe looming over both realms, Shen Wei privately urged Zhao Yunlan to remain in the human world to maintain order, while he would return to the Subterrane to confront the enemy.
Shen Wei was prepared to die, but Zhao Yunlan firmly forbade him from going alone, insisting he must survive to safeguard their world and vowing to wait for his triumphant return. As Shen Wei, Sha Ya, and Hua Yuzhu prepared to depart for the Subterrane, Hua Yuzhu finally revealed the truth of Gu Ban’s death. She explained that Gu Ban had loved Sha Ya all along, but his intended confession was thwarted by a misunderstanding.
The real tragedy was that Gu Ban was killed by his fellow Subterraneans, while Zhao Xinci, the man Sha Ya blamed, was actually trying to save him. When all the facts came to light, Sha Ya realized her hatred was baseless and her long-held pain had been meaningless from the start.
