Snow Eagle Lord Episode 13 Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
Dongbo Xueying diligently practices the fire techniques from a book he received, believing it is his key to escaping the bottom of the Black Wind Cliff. The book was a gift from the High Priest, who was acting on his master’s orders. They suspect Xueying possesses the rare Ancient Bloodline of Moyang Yu, and the fire techniques are a test designed to force this power to its limits.
The High Priest explains the plan to a subordinate: if Xueying has the bloodline, the training will be dangerous but will unlock his potential; if he cannot be controlled, he will be killed. Meanwhile, Dongbo Qingshi persuades his master, Bai Yuanzhi, to teach him advanced Lightning Techniques. After struggling and getting repeatedly zapped, Qingshi succeeds in casting the spell with crucial advice from Ji Rong, who explains the difference between his native ice magic and the new lightning element.
Delighted with his progress, Qingshi’s reckless practice ends up destroying Bai Yuanzhi's cherished flowers. To appease his furious master, Qingshi cooks a chicken soup. However, he secretly gives the two chicken legs to Ji Rong as thanks for her help. When Bai Yuanzhi discovers the missing legs, he feels unappreciated and furiously reprimands Qingshi for his thoughtlessness. Although Xueying becomes proficient with the fire techniques, the High Priest detects no sign of the Ancient Bloodline.
He changes tactics, offering Xueying a path to become a Transcendent or even a Demigod in exchange for his allegiance to the Black Wind God Palace. After Xueying and Yu Jingqiu refuse the offer, they each secretly approach the High Priest to make a deal: one would stay if the other was set free. The High Priest agrees to both of their terms, effectively tricking them into remaining.
Shortly after, a masked figure, whom the High Priest calls a "disobedient deserter," breaks through a barrier but is quickly recaptured by guards near Xueying, who is told to mind his own business. Realizing the High Priest has deceived them, Xueying and Jingqiu flee from guards and hide in a secret chamber. Inside, they find a valuable artifact called Dark Ice. The artifact’s energy causes Xueying’s power to surge uncontrollably.
With Jingqiu’s help to stabilize him, he realizes his inner strength is rapidly increasing, describing the feeling as a volcano meeting a tsunami—a blessing in disguise. While hiding, they talk about their homes and families. Elsewhere, Ji Rong finds Qingshi lost in thought and shares her tragic past of being orphaned and abandoned. Finding common ground in their experiences, they grow closer, and Ji Rong vows to always stay by his side.
In Yishui City, Kong Youyue bursts into her father's study and confronts him, Kong Hai, about selling Bloodshed Weapons to the Demon Clan. He denies it and insists she quit Changfeng Academy to marry into a powerful family, coldly admitting that her previous betrothal to the now-presumed-dead Xueying was purely for business. Disgusted, Youyue argues with her father, who slaps her.
Still suspicious, Youyue returns to the study with Puyang Bo and they overhear a contractor, Mr. Zuo, demanding payment from Kong Hai. Mr. Zuo threatens to expose the fact that he witnessed Kong Hai trading the weapons to a man in black for a large sum of gold. To silence him, the steward, Mr. Jia, has Mr. Zuo killed. Having witnessed the murder, Youyue and Puyang Bo are captured.
After they manage to free themselves, Kong Hai orders Puyang Bo killed to protect the family's secrets, but Puyang uses his Shadow Steps ability to escape with Youyue. Torn by her father's actions, Youyue hesitates to report him. Puyang Bo suggests they investigate the buyer, hoping they can help Kong Hai atone for his crimes. That night, they confront a drunken Mr. Jia, with Puyang Bo posing as the ghost of the murdered Mr. Zuo. Terrified, Mr. Jia confesses that the weapons were sold to Moyang Chen of Moyang Fort.
