> The Blood of Youth Recap

At Lei Fortress of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Sect, Lei Hong taught the children about the martial world: to draw their swords when witnessing injustice. Sect Leader Lei Qianhu felt helpless about this. The cold poison in his body had spread rapidly, and only the Wen Clan’s poison-against-poison method barely kept him alive. He only hoped to complete the Heroes Banquet successfully.

Upon hearing that Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen had both descended from their mountains, Lei Hong was initially overjoyed, but his expression quickly turned grave. Fortunately, Zhao Yuzhen met the Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan. The two worked together to expel the poisoned needle from Li Hanyi’s body, ensuring her survival. However, Zhao Yuzhen had aggravated his internal injuries by forcefully circulating his energy. He couldn’t fully hold onto the poisoned needle, which instead entered his own body.

Still, he pretended to remain composed in front of Xie Xuan. Xie Xuan was shocked that Qi Tianchen had revealed the Heavenly Revelation for Zhao Yuzhen. Unfortunately, not even the Grand Preceptor could prevent the impending tragedy. Xie Xuan privately lamented, wondering how one could bring dead wood back to life. Zhao Yuzhen sat silently in the courtyard until Li Hanyi awoke. When she looked at him, her gaze was filled with tenderness.

Ten years of waiting felt like a fleeting moment, a mere snap of the fingers in their youth. Zhao Yuzhen had asked Xie Xuan to find a courtyard where peach trees grew, replicating the scene from their first meeting. But this time, Li Hanyi was to become his most beautiful bride. Just as Li Hanyi married Zhao Yuzhen, it was also the final moment of Zhao Yuzhen’s life.

Before the wedding ceremony was completed, Zhao Yuzhen collapsed, dying in her arms without regret. On that day, stars fell in broad daylight. The Po Jun Sword rang out. The once lush and blooming peach tree instantly withered and decayed, as if its master had lost his vitality. Disciples of Wangcheng Mountain wept bitterly and vowed revenge.

Watching the abnormal celestial signs outside the carriage window, Su Muyu couldn’t understand Su Changhe’s actions and felt it wasn’t worth offending both Wangcheng Mountain and Xueyue City. Ming Dedi urgently summoned Marquis Lan Yue, Xiao Yueli, to the palace. First, he took him to visit Xiao Chong at Lord Bai’s manor, then they went to see Xiao Yu at Lord Chi’s manor.

Compared to Xiao Chong’s understanding nature, Xiao Yu was unruly, idle, and gluttonous, even despised by his own uncle Xiao Yueli. Ming Dedi’s true purpose in calling Xiao Yueli was simply to have him attend the Heroes Banquet and once again convey his real intentions to Xiao Se. Ever since Zhao Yuzhen’s death, Li Hanyi had completely lost herself to madness, scouring the land for Su Changhe to avenge her husband.

Although the Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan was erudite and talented, he alone could not subdue Li Hanyi—let alone cure her madness. So he sought help from the Wrathful Sword Immortal. Thanks to Xie Xuan’s intervention, Wu Xin narrowly escaped death. The Wrathful Sword Immortal, lacking patience, knocked Li Hanyi unconscious with a single palm strike. Mu Ying reported Su Changli’s death to Su Changhe.

Xie Qidao clearly noticed the killing intent in Su Muyu’s eyes, but Su Changhe did not hold Mu Ying accountable. In Su Muyu’s eyes, Su Changli was more of a swordsman than an assassin—he shouldn’t have met such an end. Yet Su Changhe, as an elder brother, remained unnervingly calm upon hearing of his brother’s death. This strangeness caused Su Muyu and Xie Qidao to grow suspicious.

Lei Qianhu was not fond of pomp and ceremony, but this time, he truly valued the Heroes Banquet. He wanted the entire martial world to know that even after his death, the Lei Clan would thrive more than ever—because the Thunderbolt Twins were about to reappear. As guests arrived in droves, Lei Qianhu stood with Lei Tianhen at the gate, waiting to greet the most important guest—Tang Clan's patriarch. His arrival would mark the true beginning of the banquet.

Xiao Se and his companions encountered an ambush on the way to Lei Fortress. The attackers were Su Muyu and Xie Qidao. Lei Clan disciples were sent to find Lei Wujie and help fend off the attack but were quickly killed. Meanwhile, the Tang patriarch and Mu Yumo poisoned the wine and laid the Thousand-Spider Formation to trap Lei Qianhu.
