Snow Eagle Lord Episode 2 Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
Yu Jingqiu, a disciple of the Water Daoist Temple skilled in ice spells, saves Dongbo Xueying in the Destruction Mountain Range. They evade their pursuers, but the cunning Ge Bin notices the unnatural cleanliness of their vanishing trail, suspects a spell was used, and orders his forces to split up and conduct a thorough search. Meanwhile, Changfeng Knight Chi Qiubai finds the severely injured Zong Ling.
Zong Ling explains that Ge Bin is aided by a gray-robed mage with bizarre techniques. He only survived the attack because, as a snake-person, his internal organs differ from a human's. Deeply concerned for Xueying's safety, Zong Ling is treated by Chi Qiubai, who promises to help find the young lord. Hiding in a cave, Xueying impresses Jingqiu by catching and grilling fish, relying solely on his physical strength and solid spear techniques without any Dou Qi.
She observes his surprisingly fast recovery and notes that with Dou Qi, he might be a match for Ge Bin. They discuss his quest for the Black Iron Order; Xueying clarifies he seeks it not for the bounty but because he refuses to stand by while the Demon Clan harms civilians. Jingqiu points out that without Dou Qi, his heroic ambitions are difficult to achieve. Their hiding spot is discovered by Ge Bin.
Forced to flee, Jingqiu casts a Waterproof Spell and pulls Xueying into a nearby pool. Frustrated, Ge Bin assumes they are doomed, as the pool is imbued with a spiritual liquid that turns people into demons, and it is also where demons emerge from. He reports their supposed deaths to the gray-robed mage, who is revealed to be the Second Priest of the Demon God Association.
The priest orders Ge Bin to retrieve the Ocean Realm Stone from the water and then evacuate the mountain with him. Ge Bin reluctantly agrees after the priest threatens to turn him and his men into demons if he disobeys. Underwater, Xueying and Jingqiu discover a cave containing the Ocean Realm Stone. However, Jingqiu is poisoned by its demonic energy, which weakens her and hinders her ability to cast spells.
As they try to escape the cave, they are surrounded by a massive number of emerging demons. Just as they are cornered, Chi Qiubai arrives, driving the demons back. He tries to capture Ge Bin, but the Second Priest intervenes, grabbing Ge Bin and escaping. Safely back on land, Jingqiu reveals the Ocean Realm Stone, explaining it is a lost treasure of the Water Daoist Temple that has been corrupted by demonic poison.
Xueying holds the stone but is surprisingly unaffected by its magic. Jingqiu speculates this might be due to some unique quality he possesses. Xueying asks to borrow the stone to present as evidence to the Dragon Mountain Mansion. Jingqiu hesitates, citing temple rules, but Chi Qiubai intervenes, suggesting she accompany them to the Mansion to report the matter to her Faction Leader, Master Sikong, while also helping Xueying.
At the Dragon Mountain Mansion, Xueying, Jingqiu, and Chi Qiubai report to Si An and You Tu that the Bent Blade Union is colluding with the Demon God Association, using the demonized Ocean Realm Stone to create demons. Si An recognizes Xueying from his plea ten years prior to save his mother, Moyang Yu. Impressed by his persistence and accomplishment, Si An grants Xueying a Black Iron Order, which symbolizes Meteor-level strength and a contract with the Mansion.
However, he states the mission is only half-complete; the Mansion will only help find his mother after he captures Ge Bin and uncovers the Demon Clan's full plan. Elsewhere, Ao Lan, an elder of the Demon God Association, severely punishes Ge Bin and the Second Priest for losing the stone and failing to create enough demons. Xueying then accompanies Chi Qiubai and Jingqiu to a meeting with elders from various transcendent organizations.
Master He of Black White Deity Mountain observes Xueying, noting his unusual bone structure and that hundreds of his acupoints are sealed, preventing him from cultivating Dou Qi. The elders agree that capturing Ge Bin is a shared responsibility. Jingqiu volunteers to assist Xueying, which her master, Sikong Yang, approves as valuable experience. Master Sikong also instructs all factions to strengthen their defenses and tasks Chi Qiubai with accelerating recruitment for Changfeng Academy to prepare for the looming threat.
After the meeting, Chi Qiubai devises a plan: they will have the Dragon Mountain Mansion issue a notice proclaiming that Dongbo Xueying has taken the Ocean Realm Stone. This will provoke the disgraced Ge Bin and lure him into a trap. Following the plan, Xueying and Jingqiu return to his home, Snow Stone Fort. They are greeted enthusiastically by the citizens, his brother Dongbo Qingshi, and his mentors Zong Ling and Tong San. Xueying proudly introduces Yu Jingqiu to his people as his savior and a benefactor to the Xueying Territory.
