Snow Eagle Lord Episode 12 Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
DongBo Qingshi, accompanied by Ji Rong, returned to Snow Stone Fort but announced his intention to leave after only a few days to focus on his cultivation. He explained to a saddened Zong Ling and Tong San that he must grow stronger to protect Xueying Territory, rescue his mother, defeat the Demon Clan, and avenge his brother.
At Changfeng Academy, Chi Qiubai learned of Yu Jingqiu's disappearance and confronted Situ Hong, who admitted that Jingqiu had taken the Lotus Lamp to Black Wind Cliff to find DongBo Xueying. Chi Qiubai was both angry and remorseful, regretting that he hadn't noticed her unusual behavior earlier. In a conversation with the elder, Tan Shi, Chi Qiubai praised the immense talent and righteous character of both Xueying and Jingqiu, lamenting the loss of two such promising students.
Overhearing this from outside, Situ Hong felt a pang of disappointment that he had never been regarded so highly. Meanwhile, at the bottom of Black Wind Cliff, DongBo Xueying used his Fire Esoterica to roast fish for Yu Jingqiu, playfully naming the dish "Dongbo Snowfish." The simple, warm moment made Jingqiu deeply happy. Realizing they were trapped for the time being, Xueying built a cozy wooden house on a tree for them.
Jingqiu happily helped design it, suggesting a door, a window, a staircase, and a terrace for viewing the scenery. They settled into a peaceful life, enjoying their time together. Trouble began to brew at Changfeng Academy as disciples started to disappear. After two students vanished, Chi Qiubai found a Demon Bell on the grounds. Realizing the Demon Clan was targeting the academy, he met with other elders.
They concluded the Demon God Association was likely trying to bolster its forces and decided to set up protective barriers and patrols. While Xueying and Jingqiu remained unaware of the danger, life at the academy grew tense. During his night patrol, Si Borong was frightened by a shadow near the barrier and tried to tell his brother, Situ Hong.
However, Situ Hong, reminding him of a past family disgrace caused by their negligence, dismissed it as an excuse to be lazy and sent him back to his post alone. That night, Si Borong was captured by the Demon Clan. Overcome with guilt, Situ Hong vowed to rescue him. Driven by his self-reproach, Situ Hong broke through the newly-erected barrier to search for his brother, creating a crack in the academy's defenses.
Kong Youyue and Puyang Bo witnessed his departure, repaired the crack, and reported him to Chi Qiubai. Enraged, Chi Qiubai confronted Situ Hong, explaining that his reckless action had created a vulnerability for the Demon Clan to exploit. Defiant, Situ Hong insisted he had done nothing wrong and was only focused on saving his brother. Chi Qiubai punished him, ordering him to practice continuously until he understood the consequences of his actions.
Later, Chi Qiubai confided in an elder that while Situ Hong was a talented martial artist, his extreme personality was a liability that needed to be tempered. Situ Hong attempted to break out again but was stopped by Kong Youyue and Puyang Bo. Kong Youyue accused him of being responsible for subsequent disappearances by weakening the barrier. Situ Hong retorted that they didn't understand because it wasn't their brother who was missing.
Puyang Bo firmly blocked his path, preventing him from leaving. Later, while bringing Puyang Bo his washed clothes, Kong Youyue discovered a metal fragment by Situ Hong's bed. She recognized the unique petal-like pattern as the secret mark of her family's workshop, identifying the fragment as part of a Bloodshed Weapon—the same kind used by the Demon Clan. Deciding to investigate privately, she put it back and advised a curious Puyang Bo to stay out of it.
At Black Wind Cliff, Xueying and Jingqiu overheard voices discussing the capture of more people, realizing they were being watched. They later spotted demon soldiers entering a dark tunnel and decided to follow them, hoping to find an exit. The tunnel led to a palace-like cave where they met the High Priest of the Demon God Association. After Xueying explained their situation and asked how to leave, the High Priest threw him a manual, telling him he could only depart after mastering the techniques within.
