Who Rules The World Episode 6 Recap
> Who Rules The World Recap
During the autumn hunt, when many expected Feng Qiwu to win, Feng Lanxi surprised everyone by revealing that his personal guards had brought in twenty elk, making his catch the largest. He explained to his father, the Yong King, that his prolonged illness had led him to study medicine, through which he discovered the sap of Lanwei flowers could temporarily tame wild beasts.
Not wishing to kill needlessly, he used this method, expressing his willingness to hunt for the Yong King. Impressed, the Yong King bestowed the Cloud Cutter Sword upon him. After returning to her estate, Feng Qiwu instructed her family elder to visit the Fountain Abode and purchase information about Feng Lanxi. She was eager to understand the rumored Second Prince's true nature, bewildered that he had managed to deceive everyone, including herself, for so long.
She remained unaware that Hei Fengxi and Feng Lanxi were one and the same person. Meanwhile, Chuanyun, curious about Feng Lanxi's display of hidden strength and his usual pretense of weakness, sought answers from Miss Huan. Miss Huan recounted Feng Lanxi's tragic past, beginning with his birth mother, Princess Yige of Dadong, who became the first Queen of Yongzhou.
Despite knowing the Yong King had taken Baili as a concubine before their marriage, the late queen welcomed Baili and even raised Baili's son, Feng Chang. This led Feng Chang to be unusually kind to Feng Lanxi, despite his cold demeanor towards others. After Feng Lanxi's birth, his mother's health declined, allowing Baili to gain favor with the Yong King. Baili gave birth to Feng Ju, the Third Prince, and was promoted to consort.
The late queen, fearing accusations of jealousy, refrained from contending for affection and tragically passed away years later. Soon after, Baili became the new queen, known publicly for her virtuous nature and for treating Feng Lanxi as her own son. However, Miss Huan revealed that Baili aimed to weaken Feng Lanxi, purposefully surrounding him with courtesans and maids to secure the position of heir for Feng Ju.
After the previous king's demise, the Yong King never appointed Feng Lanxi as heir and showed him little true affection. Feng Lanxi endured three years of placating Baili while secretly cultivating the Fountain Abode, eventually using a fabricated poisoning incident to drive away Baili's spies, thus maintaining his facade of weakness. Hei Fengxi received news that Tianshuang Sect was heading to King Ma's castle, confirming his own suspicions.
Noticing Feng Qiwu's interest in investigating him, he instructed Zhong Li to arrange a meeting with her at Lanyun Pavilion the following day. Meanwhile, Bai Fengxi and her master, Bai Jiande, arrived in Jizhou ahead of the Soultaker Sect. They planned to set a trap, realizing they needed the Ma family's cooperation.
Bai Fengxi approached Ma Mengqi, the family head, revealing that the Soultaker Sect's true objective was to gather the "four great assets" of soldiers, medicine, arrays, and horses to form a powerful army and seize control of the world. Initially believing it to be a mere martial world feud, Ma Mengqi, upon learning the global implications, readily agreed to work with Tianshuang Sect.
Later, Feng Chang visited Feng Lanxi, expressing frustration that his brother had hidden his true abilities at the autumn hunt. Feng Chang, concerned about Feng Ju's envious nature, also worried about potential harm to Feng Lanxi. Feng Lanxi patiently explained his reasons and offered a gift, which pleased Feng Chang, and they reconciled. As scheduled, Feng Qiwu met Feng Lanxi at Lanyun Pavilion. She observed a confident and authentic demeanor, vastly different from his public persona.
She openly expressed her admiration, subtly comparing herself to Zhuo Wenjun offering to support him as Sima Xiangru. Feng Lanxi accepted her offer, formally forging an alliance. Thanks to Tianshuang Sect's strategic setup, King Ma's castle successfully ambushed the initial wave of Soultaker Sect assassins, averting a massacre. However, Bai Fengxi predicted that the Soultaker Sect would not relent, likely returning with even stronger forces. She decided that Tianshuang Sect should remain at King Ma's castle to continue the defense.
Ma Mengqi, in turn, arranged for the elderly, women, and children to be relocated to Zhaocheng for safety. Zhong Li informed Hei Fengxi that six of the highly mysterious Ten Temples Devils from the Soultaker Sect, including the formidable Chu Jiang who once single-handedly defeated five Mingyue Court masters, were en route to King Ma's castle and would arrive within three days.
Concerned for Bai Fengxi's safety but unable to openly leave the capital, Hei Fengxi deliberately provoked the Yong King during a court session. He proposed controversial strategies for consolidating power, which angered the Yong King, leading to a half-month house arrest. Feng Ju gloated, unaware that this was Feng Lanxi's calculated move.
After the court session, the Yong King visited Feng Lanxi's residence, revealing that he understood the underlying logic of Feng Lanxi's proposals and that his reprimand was a protective measure. He praised Feng Lanxi's intelligence and expressed his intent to assign him important tasks once he recovered. Feng Lanxi, however, respectfully declined, citing his delicate health and his understanding of his father's inherent suspicion towards any son who appeared too ambitious for the throne.
He explained that a display of competence would only invite wariness, hindering his true plans. This grounding also provided him the perfect opportunity to leave for King Ma's castle unseen. Meanwhile, Sun Si from the Fountain Abode informed Bai Fengxi about the approaching Ten Temples Devils and conveyed Hei Fengxi's warning to be cautious, offering the Fountain Abode's full support if needed.
Bai Fengxi then asked Sun Si to covertly station his men at the Ma family's separate villa in advance to protect the remaining relatives from the impending attack. As anticipated, that night, the Soultaker Sect launched another assault on King Ma's castle. Bai Fengxi and the Tianshuang Sect fought valiantly against the six Devils, but the battle was fierce. Bai Jiande was severely wounded while momentarily distracted by concern for his daughter.
Ma Mengqi and other defenders were also injured, prompting Bai Fengxi to urge them to retreat while she stayed behind to confront the remaining attackers alone. Just as she was about to be overwhelmed, Hei Fengxi arrived, enraged by her injury, and swiftly eliminated three of the Devils. Shortly after, Yu Wuyuan appeared, dispatching the last Devil.
Yu Wuyuan introduced himself, stating he had been en route to Jizhou to see Huang Chao but diverted to King Ma's castle upon hearing that "the world's oddest woman," Bai Fengxi, was there, unexpectedly meeting Hei Fengxi in the process.
