Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Episode 15 Recap
> Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Recap
Manor Master Zhu watched Zhang Wuji walk step by step to the edge of the cliff. He secretly hooked a thick tree root with his foot, then pretended to fall. Zhang Wuji quickly went to help him, but accidentally fell off the cliff. Manor Master Zhu, however, escaped safely by relying on the tree root.
He concluded that Zhang Wuji was sure to die, and hurriedly crawled into a cave, intending to go to the other side to find the Nine Yang Divine Skill. However, he got stuck in the middle, unable to move. It was only at the moment Zhang Wuji fell off the cliff that he realized he had been tricked by Manor Master Zhu again. Abbess Miejue was given the cold shoulder at the Wudang Sect.
She angrily took her disciples and left. Song Qingshu did not want to separate from Zhou Zhiruo, so he earnestly pleaded with Abbess Miejue to stay, promising to continue persuading his father. But Abbess Miejue's mind was made up. Soon after, Yin Liting returned to Wudang. Song Qingshu eagerly asked him about the results of this mission to "eliminate evil and punish wickedness." Yin Liting's only regret was not finding out the whereabouts of his enemy, Yang Xiao.
Song Qingshu seized the opportunity to mention that Abbess Miejue wanted to unite with the Wudang Sect to jointly deal with the Demonic Cult, hoping that Yin Liting would help persuade Song Yuanqiao. Yin Liting knew Song Yuanqiao's personality well, so he decided to personally approach and unite the major sects. Song Qingshu decisively decided to go with him, leaving only a letter for his father before setting off.
Zhang Wuji fell from the cliff and happened to land in a thatched hut. Thanks to the thick straw padding, Zhang Wuji miraculously survived. However, his leg was injured, and he couldn't stand up and move for a while. He simply put on a temporary splint and rested in place, waiting for his bones to heal. Song Qingshu and Yin Liting visited many sects along the way. Everyone unanimously responded to the alliance to crusade against the Demonic Cult.
The two quickly caught up with Abbess Miejue and explained to her their determination to eradicate the Demonic Cult. Yin Liting wanted to go to Hongmei Manor to unite with Manor Master Zhu, a disciple of Master Yideng, which coincided with Abbess Miejue's plans. Yin Liting and Abbess Miejue's group finally arrived at Hongmei Manor. Zhu Jiuzhen was rebuilding the manor and falsely claimed her father had gone to a temple for cultivation, thus not wanting to join their alliance.
Abbess Miejue wanted to use the advantageous terrain of Hongmei Manor as the allied forces' command center. Before Zhu Jiuzhen could answer, her cousin Wei Bi adamantly refused, using the excuse that the two were getting married. He even hypocritically invited everyone to stay for a night and leave after their wedding. Abbess Miejue angrily decided to leave, but Song Qingshu quietly persuaded her to stay, promising to convince Zhu Jiuzhen to change her mind.
Abbess Miejue had no choice but to remain. Zhang Wuji suddenly saw two vicious dogs chasing and biting a man. He picked up a stone from the ground and used the Nine Yang Divine Skill to kill the two dogs. However, the man died from his severe injuries. Zhang Wuji determined that these were the vicious dogs raised by Zhu Jiuzhen.
Song Qingshu used the open rivalry between Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying, successfully provoking Zhu Jiuzhen into joining the alliance to eradicate the Demonic Cult. Zhou Zhiruo greatly admired Song Qingshu. Zhang Wuji's leg injury had not healed, so he could only lie on the ground, talking to himself to pass the time. Yin Li, chasing the vicious dogs, arrived at this place. Mistaking Zhang Wuji for also being bitten, she proactively started talking to him.
Zhang Wuji claimed his name was Zeng A'niu. Yin Li introduced herself as having traveled thousands of miles from the Central Plains to the Western Regions to find someone, passing through Hongmei Manor. She also offered her pancake to Zhang Wuji to eat. Zhang Wuji felt that Yin Li resembled his mother, Yin Susu, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Yin Li mistook him for laughing at her being old, and sulked, ignoring Zhang Wuji.
Song Qingshu thoroughly explained the strategy for crusading against the Demonic Cult to Abbess Miejue. Abbess Miejue found his plan meticulous and praised him greatly, also instructing Zhou Zhiruo to fully cooperate with him. Zhou Zhiruo also looked at Song Qingshu in a new light.
Just then, Ding Minjun settled the members of the various sects and brought back good news: Song Yuanqiao had successfully convinced Shaolin, and they had also dispatched Masters Kong Zhi and Kong Xing to lead Shaolin disciples as reinforcements. Song Qingshu immediately told Yin Liting this good news. Now that the Six Major Sects had finally gathered, Yin Liting took Song Qingshu to make detailed deployments and temporarily leave Hongmei Manor. They agreed with Abbess Miejue to rendezvous at Guangmingding.
Before leaving, Song Qingshu also quietly reminded Zhou Zhiruo to be wary of Ding Minjun everywhere. Zhang Wuji struggled to get up and roast potatoes to eat. Yin Li stole a roasted chicken from Hongmei Manor's feast and brought it to him, also casually asking about Zhang Wuji's mother. Zhang Wuji thought his mother was the most beautiful.
Yin Li felt she was ugly and couldn't compare to his mother, but Zhang Wuji believed that a person's heart was more important than appearance. Yin Li thought he was making fun of her, and once again left in a huff. The next morning, Zhang Wuji was weaving a grasshopper. Yin Li brought him snacks and recounted her life story. Zhang Wuji and she shared a similar plight, both being orphans.
He took out the grasshopper to cheer her up, and Yin Li immediately smiled brightly. But when she remembered the person she was looking for, she secretly sighed. Zhang Wuji promised to accompany Yin Li to find that person once his leg healed. Yin Li proactively carried Zhang Wuji on her back for a stroll and recounted her experiences on Spirit Snake Island. Back then, she had a deep affection for Zhang Wuji, but Zhang Wuji cruelly bit her.
Yin Li showed him the scar on her hand, and Zhang Wuji then realized she was Yin Li, Golden Flower Granny's disciple. Zhang Wuji wanted to reveal his identity to Yin Li, but recalling his mother's dying instruction not to trust beautiful women, he ultimately concealed his identity. He merely understatedly recounted how he was deceived by Zhu Jiuzhen, and also advised Yin Li to forget about Zhang Wuji.
Only three days after Zhu Jiuzhen and Wei Bi got married, Wei Bi secretly went to see Wu Qingying. Zhu Jiuzhen was furious, flared up in rage, and started fighting with Wei Bi. Yin Li suddenly came to confront Zhu Jiuzhen, wanting to get justice for Zeng A'niu. Zhu Jiuzhen, still enraged, started fighting with Yin Li, but she was no match for Yin Li at all.
She was knocked to the ground within a few moves and was also poisoned by the venom on Yin Li's palm. Wei Bi was terrified and fled in a panic. Hearing Wei Bi's cries for help, Abbess Miejue sent Ding Minjun and Zhou Zhiruo to rescue him. They quickly subdued Yin Li. Knowing her life was in danger this time, Yin Li proposed seeing Zeng A'niu one last time before she would agree to hand over the antidote.
Ding Minjun and Zhou Zhiruo escorted Yin Li to the thatched hut to see Zhang Wuji. Yin Li expressed her feelings to him, pleading with him to marry her. Zhang Wuji readily agreed, vowing to protect her for life. Yin Li couldn't help but cry tears of joy. Ding Minjun became impatient, forcing Yin Li to hand over the antidote as soon as possible. But Yin Li refused to comply, even if it meant death. Ding Minjun then attacked her. Zhang Wuji intervened in time to save her, defeating Ding Minjun. Ding Minjun then ordered Zhou Zhiruo to deal with Zhang Wuji.
