Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Episode 37 Recap
> Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Recap
Zhang Wuji helped Zhou Zhiruo untie her clothes and used the Nine Yang Divine Art to remove the poison for her. Zhou Zhiruo's body gradually recovered, and Zhang Wuji wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Zhou Zhiruo secretly rejoiced in her heart, but she always remembered Master Miejue's dying wish, worried that she would deceive and harm Zhang Wuji in the future, so she beat around the bush and tested him in every way.
Zhang Wuji didn't understand why and repeatedly promised that he would not leave because of her faults, only then did Zhou Zhiruo feel at ease. Zhang Wuji continued to remove poison for Zhou Zhiruo, but he found that there was a gentle yet formidable yin force in Zhou Zhiruo's body that was contending with his Nine Yang Divine Art. He had to exert all his strength to successfully channel his inner energy into Zhou Zhiruo's body.
Zhang Wuji concluded that she would surpass Master Miejue in the future. Zhou Zhiruo seized the opportunity to propose learning the Nine Yang Divine Art and the Heaven and Earth Great Shift manual. Zhang Wuji was worried that the clash of yin and yang would cause Zhou Zhiruo to suffer qi deviation, and promised to teach her the Heaven and Earth Great Shift manual when her internal cultivation reached a certain level. Zhou Zhiruo carefully prepared meals and roasted fish.
Xie Xun praised her cooking skills repeatedly. Zhang Wuji wanted to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible to seek revenge on Zhao Min. Zhou Zhiruo saw him always holding Zhao Min's jewelry box, suspecting that he still missed Zhao Min. Zhang Wuji had no choice but to hide the jewelry box in a cave. Zhou Zhiruo reported him to Xie Xun.
Xie Xun forced Zhang Wuji to throw away the jewelry box, but he had once promised to fix Zhao Min's jewelry box and did not want to break his word. Xie Xun adamantly refused and pressed him hard. Zhang Wuji, left with no choice, painfully threw the jewelry box into the sea. Song Qingshu inquired about Zhou Zhiruo's whereabouts from the Giant Whale Gang but could not find any clues. He took his anger out on his fellow disciples.
Song Yuanqiao severely reprimanded him, but Song Qingshu was not convinced, concluding that Zhang Wuji had taken Zhou Zhiruo away, and vowed to destroy the Ming Cult to vent his personal anger. Song Yuanqiao slapped him hard and punished him by making him reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors on the mountain. Song Qingshu was unwilling and still secretly went down the mountain, vowing that he would not rest until he found Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhang Wuji quickly built a raft, wanting to take Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo away from Spirit Snake Island. Xie Xun felt emotional at the sight and couldn't help but recall the scene when Zhang Wuji's family of three left Ice Fire Island. Zhang Wuji's only regret was that Yin Li had died on Spirit Snake Island, and he wanted to pay his respects to Yin Li before leaving.
Zhou Zhiruo felt ashamed to face Yin Li and made various excuses to evade it. Just then, a troop of Yuan soldiers suddenly appeared on the island. Zhou Zhiruo adamantly asserted that Zhao Min had sent them to kill them. Zhang Wuji quickly went back to inform Xie Xun, but it was too late by the time they wanted to hide.
Basu Tai led the Yuan soldiers to the thatched hut, claiming to be under the orders of the Admiral of the Water Division to bring Xie Xun and Zhang Wuji back to the Central Plains. Zhang Wuji was greatly puzzled but couldn't get a clear explanation, so he had no choice but to follow Basu Tai to board the ship. Zhou Zhiruo believed it was Zhao Min's doing, and Xie Xun immediately attacked the Yuan soldiers.
Zhang Wuji quickly intervened, advising him not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Just then, countless sharp arrows flew from a distance, shooting the Yuan soldiers one by one. Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo seized the opportunity to hack the surviving Yuan soldiers to death. Zhang Wuji tried desperately to stop them, but it was too late, and the Yuan soldiers were soon completely wiped out.
Zhou Zhiruo and Xie Xun exchanged words, both convinced that Zhao Min had sent people to eradicate them. Zhang Wuji swore to be irreconcilable with Zhao Min. Song Qingshu searched desperately for Zhou Zhiruo but to no avail and could only drown his sorrows in wine. Chen Youliang, seeing this, deliberately provoked his relationship with Zhang Wuji and used deceptive words to bring Song Qingshu to meet Shi Huolong, the Beggar Clan's leader.
Shi Wenlong hated the Ming Cult to the bone and catered to his liking by sending Chen Youliang to help him find Zhou Zhiruo. Shi Wenlong and Chen Youliang persuaded Song Qingshu to join the Beggar Clan to jointly deal with Zhang Wuji. Song Qingshu did not dare to make a decision on his own and wanted to use the excuse of going back to discuss with his father.
Chen Youliang asked him to stay at the Beggar Clan for a few days. That night, Song Qingshu accidentally overheard Shi Wenlong, Chen Youliang, and the Beggar Clan elders discussing how to destroy the Ming Cult, but they were worried that the Wudang School would interfere, so they planned to use Song Qingshu as an inside agent to first eliminate Wudang. Upon hearing this, Song Qingshu was so frightened that he fled from the Beggar Clan in a hurry.
Zhang Wuji, Zhou Zhiruo, and Xie Xun traveled by boat and eventually returned to the Central Plains, where they encountered several Yuan soldiers who had been defeated by the Ming Cult and stripped of their armor. The Yuan soldiers recognized Zhang Wuji. Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo both wanted to kill them to silence them, worried about exposing their whereabouts, but Zhang Wuji adamantly disagreed. Xie Xun, Zhang Wuji, and Zhou Zhiruo disguised themselves as Beggar Clan disciples.
They arrived at a tavern and found the Beggar Clan having a meal there. They not only ate and drank for free but also made a commotion and acted arrogantly. Zhang Wuji immediately recognized two Nine-Pouch Elders whose seniority was second only to the clan leader's. Xie Xun suspected that the Beggar Clan was plotting against the Ming Cult. Zhang Wuji found a flame symbol exclusive to the Ming Cult on the wall and immediately followed the symbol.
Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo checked into an inn to wait for Zhang Wuji. Xie Xun fantasized about Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo's happy life together in the future and wished for them to have several children. Zhou Zhiruo remembered the venomous oath she had sworn to Master Miejue: that if she developed feelings of love for Zhang Wuji, their children would be slaves and prostitutes for generations.
Zhou Zhiruo felt immense bitterness in her heart and sat there blankly, lost in thought, not even noticing when the wine cup in her hand toppled over. Zhang Wuji discovered that the Beggar Clan disciples had driven away all the members of the Giant Whale Gang.
He followed the flame symbol and found Zhou Dian, learning that the Ming Cult disciples had become scattered, fighting individually against the Yuan soldiers, and that the Beggar Clan had colluded with the Yuan soldiers to oppress the common people, committing evil deeds everywhere, and had also captured Zhu Laosi.
