Snow Eagle Lord Episode 30 Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
Chunyuan discovered that Situ Hong was secretly collaborating with the Demon Clan. As she moved to deal with this betrayal, she was ambushed and severely injured by Sikong Yang. A demon disguised as Xi Yun then arrived, delivering the fatal blow to Chunyuan before she could name the traitors. The fake Xi Yun also ambushed and grievously wounded Master He. Shortly after, others arrived to find Chunyuan dead and realized they had been tricked by the imposter.
Sikong Yang instructed that Master He be taken for immediate healing. Knowing his injuries were fatal, Master He spoke privately with Pu Yangbo. He declared that Pu Yangbo would now have to become the world's strongest and protect the Xia Clan, urging him to have confidence in his own cultivation journey. Master He then made a final request, asking Pu Yangbo to deliver a message if he ever met Moyang Chen.
A flashback revealed Moyang Chen was once Master He's most promising disciple, who secretly practiced demonic arts from a forbidden text, hoping to impress his master. Upon discovering this, Master He concluded that Moyang Chen's potential for righteous cultivation was ruined and, despite his disciple's pleas, expelled him from Black White Deity Mountain. Master He confided in Pu Yangbo that this was his greatest regret, his "heart disease," fearing his harshness pushed Moyang Chen further down the demonic path.
He asked Pu Yangbo to tell Moyang Chen to abandon his ways, as even an ordinary life was better than ruin, and that he would still consider him a disciple if he returned to the righteous path. After Pu Yangbo promised to fulfill this wish, Master He passed away.
At a somber gathering for the fallen elders, Ye Mei confronted Sikong Yang, revealing a secret from the late Hero Shan: the Great Demon God was not fully destroyed but escaped as a remnant that possessed a Xia Clan martial artist, who then orchestrated Hero Shan's death. She declared this traitor was among them and accused Sikong Yang. Citing that the Winter Solstice's extreme cold and peak demonic energy would make a demonic mark impossible to hide, she challenged him.
Feigning an attempt to de-escalate the situation, Xi Yun deliberately pulled up Sikong Yang's sleeve, revealing an arm covered in black demonic lines. Dongbo Xueying tried to defend him, suggesting the mark was a side effect of healing Bai Yuanzhi, but Ye Mei dismissed this, pointing to the undeniable demonic energy. Sikong Yang’s silence was taken as an admission of guilt. Meanwhile, Yu Jingqiu awoke to find her divine bloodline had been activated, which caused her to faint earlier.
Xue Ruoshuang explained that a fragmented Demonic Soul Pill found inside her likely triggered the awakening. Yu Jingqiu recalled Situ Hong giving her a spiritual liquid and suspected he was the one who gave her the pill, realizing some righteous figures may be hiding their true intentions. Xue Ruoshuang then revealed a more urgent problem: the Snowflake Mark had appeared on Yu Jingqiu, causing the recent unseasonal snow.
Unable to remove it, Xue Ruoshuang insisted they return to the Moxue Empire to find a solution. Yu Jingqiu agreed but requested two days to say goodbye to her friends. She sought out Dongbo Xueying, who deflected her questions about Sikong Yang’s condition, claiming he was in seclusion to heal. Yu Jingqiu asked Dongbo Xueying to pass on messages of concern to him.
They shared a farewell meal of grilled fish at the spot where they first met, lamenting their impending separation. Dongbo Xueying promised he would find a way to remove the Snowflake Mark and that they would meet again. Concurrently, Bai Yuanzhi, who had been searching for the Snowflake Mark for over twenty years after failing to destroy it, sensed its re-emergence.
He realized the mark seeks the host with the greatest spiritual power and had attached itself to Yu Jingqiu upon her divine bloodline's awakening. In the demonic realm, the Demon King was overjoyed, as the Snowflake Mark was the key to unlocking the bronze coffin sealing his physical body. He ordered his followers to capture Yu Jingqiu at all costs.
Bai Yuanzhi, understanding that the mark falling into demon hands would doom the Xia Clan, resolved to destroy it while it was still maturing inside Yu Jingqiu—the action he failed to take two decades ago. As Yu Jingqiu prepared to leave, Bai Yuanzhi and other elders arrived. He declared her a threat, explaining that the Snowflake Mark she hosted was the key to the Demon God’s return and must be eliminated.
Dongbo Xueying immediately stood to defend her, stating his vow to protect her was as important as his duty to protect the world. When Ye Mei forced him to choose between Yu Jingqiu and the Xia Clan, Dongbo Xueying refused to sacrifice an innocent person for the sake of security, vowing to fight anyone who tried to harm her. With Xue Ruoshuang creating a diversion, Dongbo Xueying escaped with Yu Jingqiu.
In hiding, he apologized for not being powerful enough to remove the mark himself, while she felt guilty for putting him in opposition to the elders. They discussed seeking a solution at Changfeng Academy's library but knew they couldn't return. Yu Jingqiu suggested another location with an even larger collection of rare books. To get there, they devised a plan to distract and incapacitate a guard named Si An using a soporific sap.
