Snow Eagle Lord Episode 14 Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
The High Priest confronted DongBo Xueying and Yu Jingqiu at Black Wind Cliff, acknowledging DongBo Xueying's mastery of the True Meaning of Fire but declaring his intent to destroy him for refusing to serve the Black Wind God Palace. As the High Priest attacked, DongBo Xueying shielded Yu Jingqiu, a move inspired by her suggestion that they could escape by following the cliff's ascending air currents.
The High Priest's powerful blow unexpectedly awakened DongBo Xueying's ancient bloodline, causing him to break through and become a Transcendent. A celestial phenomenon appeared—colorful clouds signifying the birth of a new Transcendent. Far away, Master Chi Qiubai and Faction Leader Sikong Yang witnessed the vision, lamenting that if DongBo Xueying and Yu Jingqiu were still alive, they might have had such potential.
As Yu Jingqiu used her power to carry the newly empowered DongBo Xueying toward the cliff summit, the High Priest struck him in the back with a Demon Clan hidden weapon, the Soul Scouring Nail. Instantly, the celestial vision vanished, leaving onlookers confused as the expected flame of Transcendent Dou Qi never appeared. Shortly after, news reached Changfeng Academy that DongBo Xueying and Yu Jingqiu had returned, prompting Master Chi Qiubai and the students to rush to their side.
They found DongBo Xueying in a coma, severely injured but no longer in mortal danger. Yu Jingqiu recounted their ordeal, describing a masked man controlling Black Armored Warriors. She explained that DongBo Xueying's breakthrough to the Transcendent realm during the fight was what allowed them to escape the abyss. The others, stunned, realized DongBo Xueying was the one who had caused the celestial vision. However, Master Chi Qiubai could not detect any Transcendent Dou Qi in his body.
Yu Jingqiu insisted she had witnessed his body undergo particlization, the sign of becoming a Transcendent, and theorized the hidden weapon that struck him during their ascent suppressed his power. Nearby, Situ Hong overheard this and seethed with jealousy, frustrated that DongBo Xueying was once again ahead of him. Suspecting the Black Wind God Palace was a branch of the Demon God Association, Master Chi Qiubai resolved to report their findings to the Council of Elders immediately.
The elders later visited DongBo Xueying, planning to have him guide them back to Black Wind Cliff to investigate once he recovered. Meanwhile, Kong Youyue and Pu Yangbo traveled to Moyang's Fort to investigate Mo Yangchen's suspected involvement in illicit arms trading. Finding the fort heavily guarded and protected by barriers, they realized sneaking in was impossible. Learning it was Mo Yangchen's birthday, Kong Youyue devised a plan.
She disguised herself as a performer and gained entry to the celebration, where she performed a captivating long-sleeve drum dance. Impressed, Mo Yangchen invited her and Pu Yangbo to dinner. At the meal, Kong Youyue introduced herself as being from the Kong's Weapon Workshop, claiming she was trying to prove her business acumen to her father.
She offered to sell him a batch of Bloodthirst Blades, noting they had become difficult to sell after the Demon Clan used similar Bloodshed Weapons in the attack on the Sea God Palace. Feigning ignorance about his activities, she prompted Mo Yangchen to reveal he owned a personal alchemy workshop at Dongxiang Lake. This revelation made Kong Youyue wonder why he would need to buy weapons from her family if he could forge his own.
The pair then used Shadow Steps to travel quickly to the alchemy workshop. Posing as customers, they attempted to place a custom order but were turned away by craftsmen who claimed to be too busy with a large, recent project. Though they failed to place an order, they confirmed that Mo Yangchen's alchemy operation was indeed very active.
Back at the academy, a restless DongBo Xueying resumed training despite the burning pain from his injuries, eager to understand his vanished Transcendent power. His friend Kong Hao visited, informing him that Kong Youyue had returned home. Their conversation was interrupted by Situ Hong, who provoked DongBo Xueying, openly doubting his breakthrough and taunting him about the upcoming Transcendent Trial in two weeks. DongBo Xueying accepted the challenge, stating that healing and breaking through under pressure is a cultivator's duty.
Soon after, DongBo Xueying led the Elders and other disciples back to the Black Wind God Palace, only to find it deserted. During the search, Situ Hong discovered a jade pendant belonging to the missing disciple Si Borong and angrily accused DongBo Xueying of abandoning him. DongBo Xueying explained that on the night of their capture, a Black Armored Warrior—whom he now realized was Si Borong—had tried to communicate with him before being dragged away by the masked man.
DongBo Xueying was too injured and powerless to intervene. The group concluded the Black Armored Warriors were likely missing disciples transformed by the Demon Clan, who were kidnapping cultivators to replenish their forces in preparation for an assault on the Demon Well and to strengthen their presence in Nanqin. Although the palace was empty, they discovered a massive fissure near the cliff entrance, seemingly created by an individual with immense internal energy.
To identify this person, they sought the help of Si An at Dragon Mountain Mansion, renowned for his encyclopedic knowledge. Si An confirmed the fissure's origin and provided a list of the only individuals in the empire capable of such power, aside from Demigods. After eliminating those who were dead, confined, or weakened, he proposed a surprising suspect: Bai Yuanzhi, a seemingly ordinary mage in Yishui City.
Si An recounted that twenty years ago, after the war with the Demon Clan, Bai Yuanzhi had inquired about the city's strongest cultivators, claiming to seek sparring partners, but then simply settled there, never revealing his true strength. The Elders decided to cautiously investigate this mysterious figure. The name Bai Yuanzhi deeply troubled Faction Leader Sikong Yang. He recalled his senior brother, also named Bai Yuanzhi, from twenty years prior.
During the war, Bai Yuanzhi had been afflicted with an incurable demonic poison while protecting Sikong Yang. To preserve the honor of the Water Daoist Temple, he chose to leave, recommending Sikong Yang to become the new Master in his stead. Sikong Yang was left to wonder if the man Si An spoke of was his long-lost brother.
Meanwhile, in a secret meeting, the Second Priest of the Demon God Association reported to the High Priest that a new location for a Demon Well had been found. The High Priest relayed the news to the Great Demon God, explaining that the site—where the first ray of sunlight falls after a lunar eclipse—is the weakest point connecting the three realms. The chosen location for the new Demon Well was revealed to be Xueying Territory.
