Hero is Back Episode 24 (Ending) Recap
> Hero is Back Recap
Huangfu Longdou appeared with Tie Zhu. He seized the Four Kings' Lock Souls obtained by Xuan Ma. Cao Yanbing wanted to attack Huangfu Longdou but was blocked by a barrier. Huangfu Longdou invited Cao Yanbing for a talk. He told Cao Yanbing that he needed his Rakshasa form to contain the Lock Souls, open the altar, and obtain the power within. Cao Yanbing sternly refused, stating he would not help him.
Huangfu Longdou told him to enter the inner hall and take a look, maybe after seeing it, he would change his mind. Cao Yanbing entered the hall and found that Tang Xiaoxiao, who had been depetrified, had turned into an evil spirit. Huangfu Longdou told Cao Yanbing that his mother had already been hit by Yue Wang's black death light before being turned into stone.
Ling Yu told them to kill evil spirits but never told them that the more exceptional a Spiritual Guardian's ability was, the more their soul power dissipated after death, and their physical body was more easily corroded by the evil energy of the evil spirits they killed during their lifetime, turning into evil spirits. Someone like his mother, who killed countless evil spirits during her life, would definitely become an evil spirit after death.
That is why he wanted to obtain divine power to attack Ling Yu and change all of this. He did not want to kill evil spirits during his life only to become one after death and be killed by his companions and family. Tang Xiaoxiao kept attacking Cao Yanbing, but he could not bring himself to attack his mother. Huangfu Longdou told him that if he didn't kill Tang Xiaoxiao, she would kill him.
The Demon Venerable saw Cao Yanbing's resolve wavering and tempted him to give up control of his body so he wouldn't have to kill his mother. Cao Yanbing agreed to let the Demon Venerable control him. The Demon Venerable controlled Cao Yanbing's body and demanded Huangfu Longdou hand over the Four Kings' Lock Souls. He took the Lock Souls and opened the altar.
Just as he was about to obtain the divine power, Huangfu Longdou used a spirit bead to control him. From now on, he would have to obey Huangfu Longdou's commands. Huangfu Longdou told the Demon Venerable that this was all his plan. He told Xuan Ma that Cao Yanbing's Rakshasa form was used to fuse the Lock Souls was a lie to her.
The greatest use of Cao Yanbing's Rakshasa form was to fuse the Demon Venerable's remaining energy, using his body to transform into a demonic form and obtain divine power, so that Huangfu Longdou could command the Demon Venerable and make him his tool. He had been forcing Cao Yanbing to kill Tang Xiaoxiao earlier because he knew Cao Yanbing would definitely not have the heart to kill his mother and would surely hand over his body to the Demon Venerable.
Huangfu Longdou wanted to test his new combat power. He ordered Cao Yanbing to kill Tang Xiaoxiao. Cao Yanbing, whose body was possessed by the Demon Venerable, still couldn't bear to kill his mother. He was wounded by Tang Xiaoxiao's blade and was brought into the Tang Sect's barrier. This barrier was set up by Tang Xiaoxiao during her lifetime. She knew she would turn into an evil spirit after death.
She didn't want to become an evil spirit and hurt her children after death, so she used her blood to create a protective barrier. If her body touched Cao Yanbing's blood or Xiao Liang's blood, the barrier would immediately activate, temporarily protecting their souls. Cao Yanbing was distressed, wondering why they killed evil spirits, but after death, they would become evil spirits and be killed by their companions.
He had come to save his mother but had to kill her with his own hands. Tang Xiaoxiao told him that even if he had to kill her as an evil spirit, it was not his fault, and she would definitely not blame him. She also didn't regret entering the Ancient Reed Building because according to legend, purifying evil spirits with divine power was possible. She would give her all for that sliver of possibility, never regretting it.
She told Cao Yanbing that true power was not power itself, but what one used power for, and understanding what one was fighting for. Finally, she encouraged Cao Yanbing to follow his heart and make his choice. Cao Yanbing understood his mother's painstaking efforts and knew what he had to do. He resolved to eliminate the Demon Venerable and make him disappear completely. This way, Huangfu Longdou's plan would also be ruined.
The Demon Venerable said that he had already obtained the heart, and his power had returned to his body. How could he possibly defeat him now? Cao Yanbing said that he indeed couldn't defeat him, but he could kill himself. The Demon Venerable's power was all within his body; if he died, the Demon Venerable's power might also disappear. Cao Yanbing said that he could lose, but the Demon Venerable definitely couldn't win.
For that slight possibility, he was willing to pay the price of his life. The reason he had sought power before was always for protection. In the past, he only wanted to protect Rakshasa Street and his loved ones. Now, he wanted to protect more streets and more people. This was his answer. Cao Yanbing had his Guardian Spirit kill himself. He chose this method to eliminate the Demon Venerable.
Huangfu Longdou was furious that Cao Yanbing destroyed his ten years of planning with suicide and prepared to leave him without a complete corpse. At this moment, Cao Yanbing activated the soul power within his body, saving his own life. He now possessed seven Guardian Spirits. The journey to the Ancient Reed Building had ended. Xia Ling found her father in the Yuan Huang Sea of Flowers. Beiluo would continue to search for a way to heal Shui'er. Cao Yanbing continued his journey carrying his mother's dying wish and the secrets of Spiritual Crossroads.
