Your Highness Episode 11 Recap
> Your Highness Recap
Shu Er, renowned for his peerless Qinggong, independently infiltrated Xiao Naihe's heavily guarded dungeon, easily escaping to scout Xiao Naihe's schemes. Although he attempted to rescue Yu Chen, he found it impossible to bypass four or five assassins, forcing him to slip away. Enraged by Shu Er's trick, Xiao Naihe vowed to kill everyone at the upcoming sword-fighting convention. Meanwhile, after jumping off a cliff, Li Qingxue and Xu Bangzhu found Miao San severely injured and unconscious.
Following Xu Bangzhu's advice, Li Qingxue fed Miao San water until he choked awake. However, Xiao Naihe's trained assassins pursued them. Xu Bangzhu, the sole witness who could clear Yu Chen and Qin Zhan's names, was critically important to protect. Miao San, enduring pain, desperately tried to hold off the assassins while Xu Bangzhu attempted to pull Li Qingxue away. Remembering Qin Zhan's powerful words about brothers united and sharing life and death, Li Qingxue refused to abandon Miao San.
Despite her shallow internal power, she bravely fought, eventually strangling one assassin but was knocked down and incapacitated by a fierce impact. Qin Zhan, accompanied by Lao Wang, progressed through the Demon-Trapping Tower, reaching an upper floor described as a women's prison. The guardians of this level were twin sisters, clad in blue and red, who had been fiercely fighting for beauty for fifty years, with no clear victor for the past ten.
Qin Zhan discovered their ability to mimic others' kung fu, which explained their prolonged stalemate. Each sister held half of the key to the upper floor. The sisters then spotted a brocade pouch on Qin Zhan's waist, recognizing it as belonging to Xiang Nan, a martial artist whom both women had loved. Qin Zhan had found this pouch among a pile of white bones in the dungeon. The sisters mistakenly believed Xiang Nan had returned to save them.
Lao Wang sadly informed them that Xiang Nan had died of lovesickness a decade ago. The sisters, who had struggled for so long over Xiang Nan's love, finally ceased their dispute. The pouch, when opened, was found to contain their favorite food. Willing to help Qin Zhan, they each gave him their half of the key and requested the key to the next floor so they could mourn Xiang Nan's body.
On this same level, Ming Yue suddenly descended from the sky and converged with Qin Zhan. The following day, Xiao Naihe commenced the sword-fighting convention, intending to publicly execute Yu Chen and eliminate the members of Lingjiu Palace. Those Yu Chen had previously aided now stood by her side, prepared to eliminate the Liao Kingdom spy, considering it their duty.
Han Yi, Shu Er, Xiao Bing, and Ding Laoguai arrived to rescue Yu Chen, adhering to Qin Zhan's orders despite any past disagreements. A battle between good and evil thus erupted, much to Xiao Naihe's amusement. Zhao Xu, as a prince, could have stayed out of martial arts affairs and protected himself, but he instead stood on the city wall, threatened the city guard general with a sword, and forced him to dispatch troops to aid the Lingjiu Palace guards.
Yu Chen, realizing Xiao Naihe's true intention was to destroy the entire martial arts world, urged everyone to leave, but her warning went unheeded. Qin Zhan, Ming Yue, and Lao Wang then ascended to the tower master's levels, ultimately reaching the highest floor of the Demon-Trapping Tower, paradoxically described as a ground-level area. Upon opening the door, they beheld a giant, glowing object encased in countless iron chains.
As the chains dispersed, an old bald monk, the tower master, floated down. This formidable individual had guarded the tower for over a century, absorbing internal energy for a hundred years, and possessed extraordinary skill. Lao Wang, eager to re-enter the martial world and prove his worth to Qin Zhan, volunteered to test the tower master's strength.
However, using his long-unused martial art "Capturing Hand" in a frantic display, Lao Wang was instantly drained of all his internal energy in less than one round. With this formidable enemy now facing him, Qin Zhan stepped forward to confront the tower master. Ming Yue observed that the tower master's internal energy was strikingly similar to Qin Zhan's, making it Qin Zhan's challenge to break the Demon-Trapping Tower's infamous reputation of being a place "one-way-in, no-way-out."
