Legend of Fei Episode 25 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
After Yang Jin saved Li Yan, he originally wanted to escort her all the way, but he couldn't resist her insistence, so he had to compromise and turn to help Zhou Fei instead. Li Yan arrived safely at the covert contact point down the mountain. Who knew that the person responsible for contacting had already been controlled by the Di Sha?
Just as she was eager to ask for help from that person, two crossbow bolts were aimed right at her head. The covert contact person watched Li Yan hand over the most crucial letter of distress. He was anxious inside but couldn't say it openly, so he could only use his eyes to signal the surrounding danger. However, by the time Li Yan saw the situation clearly, it was already too late.
A sharp arrow flew past Li Yan's eyes, blocking her steps as she tried to leave. That letter naturally fell into the hands of the Di Sha members. When the Di Sha members opened the pouch, they found it was not a secret distress letter at all, but a blank sheet of paper.
Only then did Li Yan understand that Li Sheng had merely used the excuse of sending a letter to deceive her into descending the mountain, so that she could escape this life-or-death crisis. In the end, Li Yan escaped under the desperate protection of the covert contact person and went alone to seek help from Zhou Yitang.
Under the cover of night, Zhou Fei, in order to create an opportunity to assassinate Yu Wenzhi, disguised herself as someone from Mingfeng Tower and deliberately failed the assassination attempt on Yu Wenzhi before escaping. Yu Wenzhi received news today that someone from Forty-eight Strongholds had descended the mountain via a small path to seek help. Only then did Kou Dan remember that besides the mountain gate and the Washed Ink River, Forty-eight Strongholds had a third way out.
This had already made Yu Wenzhi suspicious, and now Zhou Fei's stratagem of sowing discord was even more effective. Zhou Fei and her companion waited bitterly all night, finally waiting for Yu Wenzhi to replace the Mingfeng disciples responsible for defense. Seeing that the time was ripe, Xie Yun used his profound lightness skill to lure the Di Sha members led by Gu Tianxian, while Zhou Fei alone infiltrated Yu Wenzhi's residence to assassinate him.
Kou Dan appeared in time, hindering Zhou Fei's attempt to capture Yu Wenzhi and plunging her into a perilous situation of being surrounded. Just as she was fighting desperately to resist, Yang Jin and Master Xu appeared with the members of the Xingjiao Gang just in time to rescue her, and the situation instantly reversed. Zhou Fei was able to break free from the group of minor characters and successfully placed her knife against Yu Wenzhi's neck.
By the time Gu Tianxian realized he had fallen for the 'lure the tiger away from the mountain' stratagem and rushed back, everything was already settled. At the main gate of Forty-eight Strongholds, Shen Tianshu, still unaware of the situation down the mountain, believed victory was within his grasp and was determined to flatten Forty-eight Strongholds today. The two elders also bore heavy responsibilities in this battle. For a time, corpses lay everywhere, and casualties were severe.
What made the two elders even more guilty was that not only had they failed to protect Forty-eight Strongholds this time, but even Li Sheng's life or death was unknown. The stronghold gate was successfully breached by the Di Sha members. Everyone in Forty-eight Strongholds held the determination to die, wanting to perish together with the Di Sha. Just then, a ceasefire horn suddenly sounded from down the mountain.
Shen Tianshu learned that Yu Wenzhi had been captured alive by Zhou Fei and had no choice but to announce the retreat of his troops. And when Zhou Fei and her companions escorted Yu Wenzhi forward, it completely boosted the morale of the people of Forty-eight Strongholds. The Di Sha were willing to retreat, but Zhou Fei was originally unwilling to release Yu Wenzhi immediately.
Who knew that Ma Jili, believing Kou Dan's slanders, thought that Zhou Fei offending Yu Wenzhi would implicate Forty-eight Strongholds and cause its demise, so he personally wounded Zhou Fei, allowing Yu Wenzhi to successfully escape. Without further worries, Shen Tianshu immediately ordered the retreating disciples to re-attack the mountain. Only then did Ma Jili realize he had been deceived. Ma Jili was filled with remorse and wanted to personally kill the traitor Kou Dan.
However, his skill was inferior, and he died by her hand. It was Zhou Fei, though, who personally avenged Yu Lao. Zhou Fei was clearly exhausted, but her heart, which wanted to protect her home, did not allow her to fall. However, Zhou Fei, who was already no match for Shen Tianshu, could not even withstand two moves from him at this moment.
Zhou Fei, with the resolve to die, handed the Wu family's Haitianyise to Xie Yun, entrusting him to return it to Wu Chuchu, and then rushed into the battlefield once again. Seeing this, Xie Yun made a decisive move, using the Soul Searching Needle to force out his inner energy and voluntarily confronted Shen Tianshu. The two exchanged palms and competed with their inner energy. Shen Tianshu was sent flying several meters, while Xie Yun was completely unharmed.
Xie Yun's Pushing Cloud Palm greatly shocked Shen Tianshu, and even Yu Wenzhi's expression changed unpredictably, seemingly having never gained any advantage when fighting Xie Yun before. Just then, Li Jinrong and others who were returning to Forty-eight Strongholds met Li Yan halfway. Upon learning of the stronghold's distress, they rode even faster and finally arrived in time.
Seeing that the tide had turned, Shen Tianshu knew that if Li Jinrong cut off their retreat path now, and then waited for Zhou Yitang's reinforcements to arrive, they would become trapped like turtles in a jar. They could only retreat shamefully.
