Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Episode 27 Recap
> Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Recap
The Tibetan monks discovered Zhou Zhiruo had escaped. In a fit of rage, they decided to kill Abbess Miejue and all the disciples. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiruo returned, desperately protecting Abbess Miejue, which saved everyone from disaster. Zhang Wuji separately administered the antidote to Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting. The poison in their bodies was quickly removed. Xiao Zhao applied the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment to the lame puppy, which immediately became energetic.
Zhang Wuji was overjoyed and hastily applied the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment to Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting respectively. Their injuries gradually improved, and Yin Liting would soon be able to walk with a crutch. Yang Buhui attended to him constantly. Yin Tianzheng and his son returned to Wudang and reported to Zhang Wuji that the Yuan soldiers were causing widespread chaos in various parts of Jiangnan, leaving the people in fear.
The disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect had either surrendered or died in battle, and the situation was in disarray. Yang Xiao proposed abandoning past grievances and uniting with the Six Major Sects to resist the Yuan soldiers. Zhang Sanfeng also shared this intention. However, Zhou Dian and others worried that the Six Major Sects would not ally with the Ming Cult, and the whereabouts of the various sect leaders were currently unknown.
Yang Xiao asked Zhang Wuji to inquire with Zhao Min about the whereabouts of Abbess Miejue, Song Yuanqiao, and others. Zhang Wuji decided to gather all the Ming Cult members and declare to the world that the Ming Cult and the major sects would set aside their animosities and jointly resist the Yuan forces, agreeing to meet with the major sects in Butterfly Valley on the fifth day of the eighth lunar month.
Zhang Sanfeng was deeply comforted to see Yin Liting recovering quickly. Yu Daiyan's recovery was a bit slower because his injuries had lasted too long, but his hands could already move freely. Zhang Wuji believed he would be able to walk with a crutch in half a year. Yu Daiyan's excitement was palpable; he had never imagined he could recover and was immensely grateful for Zhang Wuji's strong support.
Zhang Sanfeng continued to instruct Zhang Wuji in practicing Taiji Fist and Taiji Sword. Zhang Wuji devoted himself to his practice and quickly mastered their essence, greatly increasing his internal power. With the day of gathering with the major sects drawing near, Zhang Sanfeng urged Zhang Wuji to descend the mountain quickly. However, he wanted to see Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting's injuries significantly heal before leaving.
Zhang Sanfeng felt that he had a heavy responsibility and a long way to go, and should first fulfill his duties as the Cult Leader. Yang Xiao noticed that Yang Buhui and Yin Liting were inseparable and affectionate every day, which made him feel uneasy. He quickly called Yang Buhui into the room for a detailed inquiry. Yang Xiao worried that Yang Buhui and Yin Liting being too close would cause Zhang Wuji to become needlessly suspicious.
Yang Buhui explained that she had already clarified things with Zhang Wuji. Yang Xiao, thinking they had mutually expressed their feelings, no longer pursued the matter. Yang Buhui hesitated, but still lacked the courage to tell her father about her and Yin Liting's relationship. Yang Buhui immediately sought out Zhang Wuji, urging him to clarify the matter with Yang Xiao right away.
Zhang Wuji had been so busy forming alliances with the Six Major Sects that he had completely forgotten the task Yang Buhui had entrusted to him. Unable to resist Yang Buhui's persistent pleas, Zhang Wuji could only reluctantly go to see Yang Xiao. He stammered out the news of Yin Liting and Yang Buhui's marriage. Yang Xiao felt that their age and generational differences were too great; furthermore, Yin Liting had once been engaged to Yang Buhui's mother.
After much thought, Yang Xiao still felt they were unsuitable. Zhang Wuji desperately tried to persuade Yang Xiao and brought him to the back of Wudang Mountain, where he saw Yang Buhui and Yin Liting deeply in love, laughing and chatting happily. Yang Xiao was momentarily caught in a dilemma. That night, Yang Xiao proactively sought out Yin Liting and straightforwardly stated that Yang Buhui was not Ji Xiaofu.
Yin Liting explicitly declared that he had completely detached himself from past feelings, vowing that he would marry no one but Yang Buhui and would do everything in his power to protect her for life. After much deliberation, Yang Xiao reluctantly agreed to their marriage, but before leaving, he issued a stern warning: Yin Liting was not to harm Yang Buhui, or he would be executed.
Zhang Wuji bid farewell to Zhang Sanfeng and was about to head to Butterfly Valley with Yang Xiao and others. Yang Buhui accompanied Yin Liting to see them off. Yang Xiao quickly hid to the side, still unable to come to terms with it. Yin Tianzheng and Zhou Dian, among others, urged him to accept reality and encouraged Yang Buhui and Yin Liting to marry soon.
Yin Liting wanted to wait until all his martial brothers were reunited before holding the ceremony. Zhao Min separately poisoned and captured the leaders and disciples of the Six Major Sects at Wan'an Temple. She also sent people to massacre Shaolin Temple, capturing the Shaolin abbot and others as well. When Zhou Zhiruo saw Song Qingshu, she eagerly asked about his injuries, only relaxing after learning he had merely suffered superficial wounds.
Zhao Min forced the Six Major Sects to submit to the imperial court. Abbess Miejue was the first to stand up and object, telling Zhao Min to give up early. The other sects also refused to yield. Zhao Min proposed that the Six Major Sects send people to compete against her subordinates; if they won three consecutive matches, they could leave Wan'an Temple, but if they lost one, a finger would be chopped off.
Song Yuanqiao swore he would die rather than join the imperial court, and condemned Zhao Min for using despicable means to humiliate the Six Major Sects. Elder Wei Xia of the Kongtong Sect voluntarily stepped forward to take the lead. However, he was severely poisoned, and even though he used his ultimate Seven Wounds Fist technique, he was quickly defeated. Wei Xia had a finger chopped off on the spot.
Zhao Min consulted the Xuanming Elders beside her about the moves of the Seven Wounds Fist. Abbess Miejue realized that Zhao Min intended to seize the opportunity to secretly learn the martial arts of the various sects. Zhao Min then sent Sun Sanhui to fight Abbess Miejue. Abbess Miejue flatly refused. Zhao Min then proposed that Zhou Zhiruo come out to fight, also taunting her sarcastically. Zhou Zhiruo could only brace herself and contend with Sun Sanhui.
Song Qingshu jumped onto the platform to fight Sun Sanhui. After a few rounds, Song Qingshu defeated him. Zhou Zhiruo quickly went forward to express her concern for Song Qingshu. Seeing this, Zhao Min was in a good mood, concluding that Zhou Zhiruo would not compete with her for Zhang Wuji, and then left with her people. All the disciples of the Six Major Sects were imprisoned in the pagoda.
The Xuanming Elders also imprisoned the Wudang and Shaolin disciples on the topmost floor. Zhang Wuji and Yang Xiao, among others, traveled day and night to Butterfly Valley. They saw Chang Yuchun fiercely battling the Mongol army, and Zhang Wuji quickly repelled the Mongol army. Zhang Wuji and Chang Yuchun, reunited after a long separation, couldn't help but embrace tightly, both tearfully emotional.
Chang Yuchun immediately sent people to slaughter cattle and sheep to generously entertain Zhang Wuji and his companions. Afterwards, Zhang Wuji brought Yang Xiao to Ji Xiaofu's grave. Yang Xiao, moved by the sight, couldn't help but shed tears. He felt that Ji Xiaofu was not dead at all, but had always been by his side.
Yang Xiao poured out his feelings of separation to Ji Xiaofu, promising to reunite with her after their mission was accomplished and then take her to the most beautiful place. Peng Yingyu and Wei Yixiao returned to report to Zhang Wuji. They had inquired everywhere but could not find any trace of Zhao Min or the various sects. Zhang Wuji was also at a loss and only sent people to continue searching.
Zhao Min summoned Abbess Miejue alone to the arena, wanting to experience the Emei Sect's swordplay. However, Abbess Miejue ignored her, directly sitting cross-legged on the ground to meditate with her eyes closed. Zhao Min threatened to strip all the Emei disciples naked and put them on display. Abbess Miejue was completely enraged and charged straight at Zhao Min, but unexpectedly was hit by the Xuanming Divine Palm of the Xuanming Elders. Abbess Miejue immediately vomited blood on the spot.
