Legend of Fei Episode 27 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
In an inn at the foot of the Forty-eight Strongholds, guests were discussing a story about a natural-born genius who, due to a difficult fate, was taken in as a disciple by an immortal, and later joined the army but was poisoned by a strange toxin. This reminded Zhou Fei of the story about a "deserter" that Xie Yun had mentioned, and how well he understood the Touguqing poison.
As for the mention of an immortal, Wu Chuchu remembered seeing a note in a martial arts manual that said, "Penglai's worldly old dream is cool, the sunset pushes clouds without a trace." The meaning of this phrase was not yet clear to the two of them. Connecting the two points, Zhou Fei vaguely felt that it was related to Xie Yun.
When she returned to the stronghold and asked the guards, she learned that he had already left, so she quickly went down the mountain to look for him. Huo Lianhao rallied martial arts practitioners to hold a convention to eliminate the evil forces, and he carved the water pattern mark on the invitation letters, making it difficult for everyone to refuse. Since it concerned the Huo family, Li Sheng volunteered to go.
Firstly, it was to investigate Huo Lianhao's true intentions. Secondly, Chong Xiaozi had shown kindness to Li Sheng and was still troubled by the death of Huo Changfeng. If the cause of Huo Changfeng's death could be investigated, it would also give Chong Xiaozi some closure. At this time, Chong Xiaozi, in order to protect Yin Pei, was planning to forge a fake Yin family scabbard to mislead the world.
When Chong Xiaozi returned to his residence, he found that Yin Pei's expression was strange, on the verge of death. Looking at the Phoenix Pills on the bed, only an empty box remained. He was greatly alarmed and quickly used his internal energy to help Yin Pei regulate his condition.
After Yin Pei was saved by Chong Xiaozi and his internal energy was stabilized, he accidentally triggered a mechanism in his room, opening a secret chamber where several Phoenix Pills were stored. Fortunately, Chong Xiaozi returned in time and explained that taking the Phoenix Pills required assistance from someone with deep internal energy to regulate the effects; otherwise, one would become a killing maniac and explode and die within two years.
The night passed, and Yin Pei woke up from a nightmare again. He suddenly realized the scabbard was gone and rushed into Chong Xiaozi's room like a madman. Seeing no one inside, he swallowed a Phoenix Pill again and stole all the remaining ones. On his way down the mountain, Yin Pei ran into the returning Chong Xiaozi.
Yin Pei mistakenly thought the other was trying to steal the real scabbard by casting a fake one, so in a fit of rage, he killed him with a single strike. This act gave Yin Pei an unprecedented sense of power, craving the thrill of controlling others' lives, clearly showing signs of going mad. Before he died, Chong Xiaozi wanted to give Yin Pei his whisk, instructing him that there was a way to save his life inside.
However, Yin Pei would not believe anything he said and disdained the so-called method to save his life. Huo Lianhao sent out numerous invitations, causing many jianghu people to gather in Lingling City. Inside the Lingling Inn, siblings Zhu Chen and Zhu Ying from the Xingnan Gate were resting. Seeing a man at the next table shivering in the summer, they kindly offered him a cotton coat.
They saw the man thank them and leave in a hurry; this person was the Xie Yun who had left without saying goodbye. On Xie Yun's table were several copper coins covered in ice shards, which attracted the poison doctor Ying Hecong to follow. But by the time he chased outside, Xie Yun was nowhere to be found. Zhou Fei happened to brush past Ying Hecong and entered the Lingling Inn.
With the help of the Foot Travelers' Gang along the way, she had tracked him here, only to miss him by a step. Suddenly, a group of white-robed people with ghostly masks broke the peace of the inn, surrounding the Zhu siblings. They were disciples of Ding Kui, the section master of the Black Tortoise Gate in Four Symbols Mountain. Ding Kui had come for the assembly to eliminate the evil forces but had not received an invitation.
He had to dispatch his disciples to snatch invitations from the powerless Zhu siblings, and thus the two sides became hostile. Ever since the Xingnan Gate's leader was seriously injured, his son Zhu Chen had been frail and unable to inherit the sect. He turned to business instead and had been greatly looked after by Huo Lianhao. This time, the siblings brought several people from their sect to boost the Huo family's prestige.
Before even meeting Huo Lianhao, they encountered Ding Kui trying to snatch their invitations. Just as they were unable to resist, Zhou Fei stepped in to help and repelled them. This exchange also forced Li Yan, who had been secretly following Yang Jin down the mountain, to travel with Zhou Fei. The matter of the assembly to eliminate the evil forces also attracted Chen Zichen and Mr. Bai to Lingling City.
Currently, Zhou Fei had asked the Foot Travelers' Gang to investigate Xie Yun's whereabouts, and Mr. Bai was an elder of the Foot Travelers' Gang, so he specially came to personally thank Zhou Fei for her help last time. In their conversation, Mr. Bai felt deeply that the assembly to eliminate the evil forces was fraught with hidden dangers, and thus he also wanted to find Xie Yun to personally persuade Chen Zichen.
Little did they know that at the same time, Xie Yun had already attempted to persuade Chen Zichen to leave while Mr. Bai was away, but without success. And on this trip, Xie Yun unintentionally learned from Chen Zichen that Zhou Fei had also come to Lingling City, making his movements even more cautious to avoid being found by her.
