Legend of Fei Episode 22 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
At Chunhui Town at the foot of Forty-eight Strongholds, Zhou Fei and her party rested here. The street market was lively and noisy, which did not prevent Zhou Fei and Xie Yun from having a heart-to-heart talk under the moonlight. With her home just ahead, Zhou Fei didn't know the situation in the stronghold and was still thinking that it might be difficult to leave the mountain again after returning this time.
She was also more curious about where Xie Yun would go in the future. Unexpectedly, Xie Yun actually teased her with his words. However, the affection born out of this curiosity was indeed real. Just as the two were chatting, Ma Jili rushed over in a panic again to ask for help, all because Li Yan, being playful, had disappeared again.
When Zhou Fei and the other found her, they discovered that Li Yan was arguing with Yang Jin, who had saved her from her room, and went along with it. Coincidentally, at this moment, Li Sheng and Wu Chuchu also arrived at Chunhui Town and bumped right into Li Yan and the other.
The four returned to the inn and explained the general situation and dangers below the mountain to Ma Jili, wanting to rush back to the stronghold as quickly as possible. Late at night, Koudan could secretly turn off the Qianji Array, indicating that Yu Lao would surely suffer a terrible fate. It would still take an hour for the Qianji Array to be completely shut down and stop running.
Gu Tianxian then waited with a group of Di Sha disciples on the opposite bank of the Washed Ink River, ready to advance unopposed as soon as the time was right, like entering an uninhabited territory. Koudan, the leader of the Mingfeng Tower, led all her disciples in rebellion. They were skilled at strangulation with Qianji threads. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the other disciples of Forty-eight Strongholds, they broke through one by one.
For a time, blood flowed like a river. Zhou Fei, still unaware, was sitting with Xie Yun on the mountaintop opposite Forty-eight Strongholds at this moment. Having been away from home for a long time, her longing grew stronger, and even the moonlight seemed to become brighter and clearer. However, with a commotion on the opposite mountain, many birds were startled and flew away, attracting Xie Yun's attention.
Only then did the two realize that the stronghold might be undergoing a sudden change. Zhou Fei and Xie Yun reunited with the others, briefly learned about recent events, and rushed back to Forty-eight Strongholds overnight. At this time, Forty-eight Strongholds was like a group of dragons without a head, relying only on a few elders to strategize. But Li Jinrong was not in the stronghold to preside, and they had always been at odds with each other.
For example, Elders Zhao Qiusheng and Zhang Bolin were already arguing fiercely. By the time dawn broke completely, Gu Tianxian led the Di Sha in a formal attack on Forty-eight Strongholds. When Zhou Fei and her party infiltrated the stronghold via a small path, what met their eyes were corpses everywhere. From the state of the corpses, it could be seen that they were all the work of the Mingfeng Tower.
Combined with the fact that the Mingfeng Tower's hidden agents below the mountain had all rebelled, it was not difficult to guess the truth. Zhou Fei went all the way to the Elders' Hall, watching the two elders still blaming each other. Learning the rhetorical skills Xie Yun had taught her before coming here, she displayed authority and made a series of reasonable arrangements.
Originally, the two elders did not put a junior like Zhou Fei in their eyes, but they were temporarily intimidated by her aura. Coupled with Zhou Fei giving them enough face with the manners of a junior, the internal conflict was smoothly resolved. With the support of the Mingfeng Tower, there were no more obstacles for the Di Sha to enter Forty-eight Strongholds.
Fortunately, Li Sheng came up with a plan and secretly changed the positions of the Qianji threads in the forbidden forest with Deng Zhen and others, thus resolving the immediate danger. Meanwhile, Zhou Fei and her party met the Di Sha led by Gu Tianxian in a narrow path in the dense forest. Koudan led the Mingfeng Tower disciples and arrived subsequently, further instigating the people in the stronghold.
The Mingfeng Tower had a considerable reputation in the martial arts world. Koudan was unwilling to be subordinate to the Li family from the start, feeling imprisoned in Forty-eight Strongholds her whole life, becoming a watchdog for the stronghold. Back then, Yu Lao offered the Qianji Array to the Washed Ink River to show sincerity. To prevent the diagrams from leaking, he painstakingly captured Koudan back. Over the years, Koudan had always harbored resentment.
Now, by joining forces with Yu Wenzhi, she could not only gain freedom but also avenge her past humiliation. She naturally couldn't wish for anything more. Zhou Fei witnessed the Mingfeng Tower's rebellion firsthand and then heard with her own ears that Koudan had killed Yu Lao. Anger surged from her heart, and she immediately wanted to fight Koudan to the death. However, the elders in the stronghold were accustomed to comfort, considering themselves extraordinary.
Zhang Bolin was the first to step forward and challenge Gu Tianxian, but unexpectedly, after a few moves, he was completely defeated. Seeing Zhang Bolin defeated, Zhou Fei seized the opportunity, drew her saber, and stepped forward to fight Koudan. After several moves, although Koudan's moves were vicious, Zhou Fei had the advantage of knowing her fighting style and was able to handle it easily. Furthermore, with what Zhou Fei had gained from coming down the mountain this time, while she couldn't truly defeat Koudan, she could easily injure her.
