Snow Eagle Lord Episode 27 Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
DongBo Xueying, feigning a need to discuss cultivation methods, sought out Senior Lan, who was secretly Yu Jingqiu in disguise. During their conversation, Yu Jingqiu sensed an intruder, speculating it might be the Demon Clan, and they agreed to investigate. Determined to help DongBo Xueying expose any spies, Yu Jingqiu went to a secret chamber in the library filled with sealed Demon Clan artifacts, intending to trigger one to cause a disturbance.
However, the artifacts reacted intensely to her presence, causing her a severe headache and triggering visions of her parents fighting demons. Situ Hong, who had been secretly following her, witnessed her collapse. He was about to reveal himself when DongBo Xueying arrived, forcing him back into hiding. As DongBo Xueying attended to Yu Jingqiu, Situ Hong deliberately struck the artifacts, unleashing their demonic power. The real Senior Lan alerted the Elders.
As demonic energy and Demon Owls filled the chamber, a protective storage treasure from DongBo Xueying's mother activated. DongBo Xueying noticed the owls seemed to avoid attacking him specifically. The six Elders arrived to contain the chaos, and DongBo Xueying noted that with all of them present, it was impossible to know who might have tampered with his message box.
Amid the turmoil, a pained Yu Jingqiu expressed a wish to return to the peace of Black Wind Cliff, and DongBo Xueying promised to take her there. As the fight intensified, a hairpin fell from Yu Jingqiu and transformed into a white-haired woman. She swiftly helped subdue the demonic forces and reseal the artifacts. She introduced herself as Xue Ruoshuang, the spirit of a hairpin belonging to Monarch Moxue.
She revealed that Yu Jingqiu was the Monarch's daughter and their Young Mistress. Xue Ruoshuang recounted how the Monarch and his wife had died helping the Xia Clan fight the Demon Clan. While protecting the young Yu Jingqiu, she was forced to seal the child's divine bloodline and erase her memories for safety, leaving her at the Water Daoist Temple.
Severely wounded, Xue Ruoshuang reverted to her hairpin form and was mistakenly sealed in the chamber as a demonic artifact, unable to escape until Yu Jingqiu's life was in peril. Master Sikong Yang offered them residence at the Qiuxuan Court to recover. Afterward, DongBo Xueying returned to his room to find his message box had been stolen. Meanwhile, Ji Rong returned to Xueying Territory with DongBo Qingshi.
That night, a suspicious Zong Ling observed her scouting the city walls, planning to install demonic energy devices to fulfill her mission for the Demon Clan. At Qiuxuan Court, Yu Jingqiu awoke with some of her memories restored, recognizing Xue Ruoshuang as "Snow Granny" from her childhood. Xue Ruoshuang explained that Yu Jingqiu's divine power was returning and that they must prepare to go back to the Moxue Empire, which was now her responsibility.
Their stay was interrupted by Elders Ye Mei and He, who feigned an apology while secretly using a Demon Chasing Talisman to test Xue Ruoshuang. Enraged, Xue Ruoshuang was only calmed by Yu Jingqiu's and Master Sikong's intervention. Sikong Yang pleaded with them to stay and help fight their common enemy, but Xue Ruoshuang coldly stated the Xia Clan's war was not their concern, refusing to risk Yu Jingqiu after her parents' sacrifice.
Later, as Yu Jingqiu worried about a deepening snowflake mark on her shoulder, DongBo Xueying climbed through her window, explaining that Xue Ruoshuang was guarding the door. He brought her favorite pear flower cakes and apologized for endangering her. They discussed the investigation, noting that his message box was stolen while he was away, foiling their plan. In a subsequent and more heated encounter, DongBo Xueying confronted Yu Jingqiu about her plans to leave for the Moxue Empire.
Hurt that she might leave without a word, he argued with her. A tearful Yu Jingqiu confessed her inner conflict, torn between her duty to her homeland and her desire to stay with him, wishing she had never recovered her painful memories. Xue Ruoshuang entered, telling DongBo Xueying to leave and never return, stating she disliked him because he only brought her mistress sorrow. In the Demon Clan's lair, the Demon God was informed of Yu Jingqiu's identity.
While the warrior Ao Lan argued for killing her immediately, the High Priest proposed a different plan: to control her. He argued that an awakened and obedient Yu Jingqiu would be the perfect weapon against the six Elders. The Demon God agreed, assigning the task to him. The High Priest, through Mo Yangchen, ordered Situ Hong to make Yu Jingqiu drink a spiritual liquid infused with demonized crystals.
Situ Hong realized the powerful figure he had sensed in the secret chamber was the High Priest, who now controlled his fate. Tormented by the order, he later brought a gift of wine for Xue Ruoshuang but fled abruptly, unable to go through with his mission yet.
