The Seven Relics of ill Omen Episode 27 Recap
> The Seven Relics of ill Omen Recap
Zheng Mingshan examined the roof tiles and suspected the intruder must have climbed over the wall into the courtyard. Cao Yanhua urged him to take it seriously. When Luo Ren mentioned the name Leopard, Zheng Mingshan said that although he had spent time in Heisha, he’d never heard that name. At the moment, there was nothing he could do—the fog in the back mountain was too thick.
Early the next morning, Zheng Mingshan and the others went into the back mountain. Cao Yanhua fell behind and ended up discovering Meihua Jiuniang’s blood-soaked corpse. Luo Ren and the others heard him shouting and rushed over, only to find that Mu Dai was nowhere to be seen. Leopard called Luo Ren and said Mu Dai was with her, and that she had already visited Luo Ren’s home.
She knew the bar diagonally across was Mu Dai’s and that Luo Ren’s friends were inside. At the end of the call, she told Luo Ren to come back. Luo Ren panicked and insisted on returning to Lixi immediately. Zheng Mingshan told Luo Ren and the others to go ahead—he would join them after arranging their master’s funeral.
Luo Ren asked Qingmu to watch over the bar, then called Wan Fenghuo, demanding that he investigate every detail about Leopard at any cost. Luo Ren explained the situation to Thirteen-Thousand and Yan Hongsha. Qingmu would guard the bar, and he himself would watch over his home—after all, the Heart Slip was there. On the way to Lixi, Zheng Mingshan told Luo Ren that their master had died of natural causes, and the wounds on the body were inflicted postmortem.
That night, Mu Dai returned to the sect only to find it completely deserted and pitch dark. She called Luo Ren, but during their conversation, footsteps approached. With nowhere to hide, Luo Ren told her not to hang up and to strike first—and strike hard. Leopard was incredibly strong, and Mu Dai was no match for her. Leopard told Luo Ren that due to the thick fog in the back mountain, she hadn’t found Mu Dai at the time.
It was thanks to Luo Ren helping evacuate everyone that she found an opening. Hearing that, Luo Ren’s fury exploded, and he punched a nearby cabinet in frustration and guilt. Leopard loaded Mu Dai into a logistics truck and told her that Meihua Jiuniang was already dead. A day earlier, Meihua Jiuniang had instructed Mu Dai to wait at the gate of Guan Si Pailou with the Silver-Eyed Bat for one day.
If no messenger brought the other half of the key and map, she was to pass it on to a reliable disciple. Mr. Yin went into town to shop, and the mystic bid him farewell. Just after parting ways, Mr. Yin was hit by Zhang Guanghua’s car. The mystic tried to call an ambulance, but there was no cell signal—and no one else had signal either. Before losing consciousness, Mr. Yin told the mystic to deliver the message.
Half of the map was burned in the war, and half the key was hidden in the family genealogy. Back home, while helping to tidy up, the mystic found a box containing the Yin family genealogy. Wan Fenghuo called Luo Ren and reported that Leopard’s ancestral home was in Xiacheng Town. Mu Dai wanted to know how her master died.
Leopard explained that she had fought Meihua Jiuniang that night, but the master’s skills were deep, and she was no match. Unfortunately, Meihua Jiuniang exhausted her strength while releasing her final move and passed away from old age. Out of spite, Leopard slashed the corpse nine times. Luo Ren had once made Leopard lose an eye. Leopard said she wouldn’t kill him—she would pull out his claws and teeth and keep him as her pet dog.
Mu Dai knelt toward the direction of her sect, poured a cup of tea for her master, and tearfully bowed three times. Fearing he might lose control, Luo Ren asked Qingmu to take charge of the operation, saying he would follow his lead. Qingmu deliberately provoked Luo Ren, and in his plan, as long as Leopard died, Mu Dai could be sacrificed. The seven Heart Slips combined into one—only the last one held the leadership role.
Zhang Guanghua was the host of the seventh Heart Slip and was the one who had assigned tasks to Leopard, though she was deeply displeased. Wan Fenghuo discovered that Leopard’s ancestors had committed a major crime in Xiacheng Town and were later captured by five heroes of the Meihua Sect. Coincidentally, it was also five people—matching the number of kneeling clay figures in the Cao family tomb.
Luo Ren deduced that someone back then had also chased after the Heart Slips, just like they were doing now. Leopard arranged to meet Luo Ren alone and even video-called him to show the surrounding area—she planned to bury Mu Dai alive. Perched in a distant tree, Cao Fangfang witnessed the entire scene.
