Hero is Back Episode 22 Recap
> Hero is Back Recap
Yue Wang recognized Huangfu Longdou because he had brought people to the Ancient Reed Building ten years ago, but except for him who luckily escaped, the entire army was wiped out. Yue Wang told him that the outcome of this visit would be the same as the last time, the only difference being that he wouldn't be able to escape this time.
Huangfu Longdou said the people he brought this time were different, and since Yue Wang had been here without opponents for a long time and it was boring, why not wait and see the outcome. He invited Yue Wang to play a game of chess with him, and if he lost, he would turn into a stone statue.
Cao Yanbing used King Yan Huo to deal with the Snow King, but ordinary flames couldn't handle the frost condensed by the Snow King's divine power. The Snow King was about to attack and finish off Cao Yanbing but was injured by Cao Yanbing using The King of Ten Halls. She wondered how ordinary flames could affect her, and the ice and snow on Xia Ling beside him were also gradually melting.
At this moment, the Demon Venerable spoke up, saying he had helped him. Cao Yanbing said he had no killing intent or anger, so how could the Demon Venerable control him? The Snow King sensed the presence of the Demon Venerable and a part of his energy on him, thinking he had sacrificed himself to the Demon Venerable. Cao Yanbing was controlled by the Demon Venerable.
He called out to Xia Ling beside him to wake up quickly and help him. After being woken up, Xia Ling used the Seven Stars Soul Appeasement Bell to suppress the Demon Venerable's power. Cao Yanbing told Xia Ling that after arriving here, the demon form seemed to have broken its restraints and become rampant. He asked the Snow King where the people who entered the Ancient Reed Building ten years ago and were turned into stone were.
The Snow King told them those people were in Yue Wang's Moon Palace, and to get there, they needed the power of Wind, Snow, and Moon to open the barrier. Cao Yanbing forced the Snow King to send them there. After making them close their eyes, the Snow King sent them to the Flower Valley. The Snow King didn't want them to go directly to the Moon Palace and be easily killed by Yue Wang by being turned into stone.
Sending them to the Flower Valley would let them experience despair and then die miserably, which would appease her resentment. Beiluo was also sent to the Flower Valley by the Wind King. There, he was poisoned by the Illusion Toxin and fell to the ground. As he was falling unconscious, someone appeared. Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling woke up in the Flower Valley and found the air was poisonous.
Xia Ling took out Li Xuanyuan's pill and gave it to Cao Yanbing. Taking this pill could suppress the toxicity. They realized this shouldn't be the Moon Palace and to leave, they had to find the king of this place. The two of them found a cave. Inside and outside the cave were completely different. Outside was covered in weeds, while inside was covered in flowers. Inside, there was a gardener, Mr. Xiang, and the unconscious Beiluo. Mr.
Xiang told them the Illusion Toxin was incurable, and the pill they took only suppressed it temporarily. If they couldn't leave within the limited time, they would definitely die. Xia Ling asked Mr. Xiang, since he was in the Flower Valley, he must know how to leave. Mr. Xiang told them that what they were seeing now was not real; what they saw was actually a dream. They were also in a nightmare.
This nightmare was an endless nightmare created by the Three Kings of Wind, Snow, and Moon combining their divine powers. If they didn't break this round of the nightmare before the next round, they would already be dead. Therefore, they only had one chance to break the nightmare. Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling prepared to go out and find the Master of the Nightmare to wake him up.
Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling came out of the cave and found Xia Ling's father and Cao Yanbing's mother. The Master of the Nightmare should be one of the two of them. Since Cao Yanbing and the others couldn't reveal their identities, they pretended to be people from the eastern part of Spiritual Crossroads and greeted the two.
Cao Yanbing's mother wanted to continue looking for a way out of the Flower Valley, and she believed that Huangfu Longdou would send people to rescue them. However, Xia Ling's father, before departing for the Ancient Reed Building, accidentally overheard a conversation between Huangfu Longdou and someone else and learned that Huangfu Longdou intended to sacrifice them and only wanted to obtain the divine power within the ancient building, so he wouldn't come to rescue them.
Xia Ling saw that her father was acting strangely and knew that the Master of the Nightmare was her father. When she wanted to go and wake him up, he disappeared. Cao Yanbing said they needed to find the next layer of the nightmare and prevent Xia Ling's father's death, and then wake him up to break this endless nightmare.
Xia Ling's father was very remorseful because he was the one who had gathered those Spiritual Guardians to the Ancient Reed Building. After learning of Huangfu Longdou's scheme, he wanted to tell the other Spiritual Guardians who had come with him, but he was not understood and was pushed down the mountain by those people. Therefore, they had to find Xia Ling's father before this happened and stop him from telling others the news.
Xia Ling told her father that none of this was his fault, but Huangfu Longdou's. She told him not to end his life like this and to think about his family. How sad his family would be if he died like this. Xia Ling's father thought of his daughter and was finally woken up. The endless nightmare was broken.
