Snow Eagle Lord Episode 9 Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
Following DongBo Xueying's return to Changfeng Academy, Kong Youyue tried to aid his recovery by preparing nourishing soups. However, DongBo Xueying could not drink them due to an ingredient, Deerhorn Glue, so Pu Yangbo consumed them instead. In contrast, when Yu Jingqiu delivered a medicinal soup, DongBo Xueying drank it gratefully, finding it palatable despite its bitterness. In the Demon Clan, the Second Priest Ao Lan reported to the High Priest about their difficulty in acquiring more source stones.
The High Priest revealed a risky plan to attack the Transcendent organization in Fog City, intending to activate spies planted within their ranks. To counter the formidable Bu sisters who guard the city, they would need ten Bloodshed Divine Weapons. Both priests pledged their loyalty to the Demon God, with the High Priest stressing that this was their final chance. Ao Lan vowed to personally kill DongBo Xueying for repeatedly thwarting their plans.
Meanwhile, the major sects reinforced their defenses, increasing their source stone reserves after learning of their importance to the demons from the Lu's Fort incident. After a Council meeting, Xiaoxi visited Chi Qiubai, bringing him clothes she had mended. During a tender moment, they reaffirmed their commitment to each other and to protecting the Dragon Mountain Empire. Later, Xiaoxi noticed someone practicing spear late at night.
Chi Qiubai identified the student as DongBo Xueying, praising his strong foundation and powerful Dou Qi. Xiaoxi remarked that DongBo Xueying's dedication reminded her of a younger Chi Qiubai, sensing his great potential. They approached DongBo Xueying and found him struggling to control his unstable Dou Qi, which was forcefully repelling him. Recognizing his potential, Xiaoxi gifted him a precious source stone to help stabilize his energy, stating its true value was in cultivating a future Transcendent for the empire.
Chi Qiubai added that Xueying's aggressive Dou Qi was incompatible with the Dark Ice Spear Technique he was practicing. He advised Xueying to use the stone to first master control of his energy, which could lead him to discover his own unique spear style. Unseen, Si Borong watched them, disdainful that Xueying had Dou Qi he couldn't even control.
Later, Si Borong complained to his cousin, Situ Hong, that DongBo Xueying was receiving special treatment, citing the private guidance and the gift of a source stone. He insisted the stone should have gone to Situ Hong. Though Situ Hong appeared calm, he harbored growing resentment. The next morning, Chi Qiubai publicly praised DongBo Xueying, Pu Yangbo, Yu Jingqiu, and Kong Youyue for destroying the Demon Clan's branch at Lu's Fort, holding up Xueying's dedication as an example.
Angered by the praise, Si Borong challenged the still-injured Xueying to a duel. When Xueying's friends urged him not to accept, Si Borong taunted him. Kong Youyue’s brother, Kong Hao, stepped up first for a friendly match, which Xueying easily won. Pressured by the crowd, Si Borong then faced Xueying. During their exchange, Xueying’s unstable Dou Qi caused him to strike harder than intended.
Si Borong theatrically collapsed, claiming a severe internal injury and accusing Xueying of acting like a demon by losing control of his power. Believing his cousin, Situ Hong stepped in to challenge DongBo Xueying. Xueying declined, explaining he feared his lack of control would cause further harm, which Situ Hong mistook for arrogance. The two fought, and Situ Hong, using his full strength, quickly defeated the injured and weakened Xueying.
Yu Jingqiu intervened, stopping the fight and then exposing Si Borong’s faked injury by pointing out that he was clutching the wrong side of his chest. Embarrassed, Si Borong feigned pain all over and fled. Later, Yu Jingqiu comforted DongBo Xueying, suspecting Si Borong had faked his injury. Their conversation was interrupted by Kong Youyue, who arrived with more soup.
Pu Yangbo intercepted it, and when confronted by an angry Youyue, he finally explained that Xueying's vigorous Dou Qi made such rich tonics dangerous for him, like "adding fire to fire." He revealed that Xueying had been drinking Jingqiu's milder medicinal soup for days. Kong Youyue was hurt to learn her soup had been given away while he accepted Jingqiu's. That night, Situ Hong confronted Si Borong, who admitted to faking the injury to spite DongBo Xueying.
Furious, Situ Hong berated him for his deceit, reminding him of their duty to restore their family's honor through genuine effort, not cheap tricks. After discovering the truth, Situ Hong felt remorse and wanted to apologize to Xueying, but pride stopped him. DongBo Xueying continued to practice late into the night, terrified by his inability to control his Dou Qi.
Chi Qiubai found him on the verge of a dangerous energy surge, explaining that his eagerness for success could cause his meridians to rupture. He warned Xueying against impatience and offered his guidance. Xueying resolved to stabilize his power as quickly as possible to rescue his mother. From the shadows, Situ Hong watched Chi Qiubai aiding Xueying once again.
Elsewhere, Ao Lan ordered the artificer Moyang Chen to forge ten Bloodshed Divine Weapons in ten days, threatening him with a deadly cultivation backlash upon failure. With only one Blood Spirit Stone, Moyang Chen's artificers deemed the task impossible unless they used the power of an Ancient Bloodline. Moyang Chen approached his sister, Moyang Yu, who possessed such a bloodline. She refused to help him serve the Demon Clan, so he attempted to forcibly extract her blood.
In defense, Moyang Yu unleashed her power, destroying the forge. Enraged, Moyang Chen threatened her sons, but she vowed to die with him if he harmed them. Frustrated by her defiance, he later reported his failure to Ao Lan but claimed he had found an alternative way to procure the weapons.
