Episode 27 recap: Lu Zi Zheng's Bloody Siege on the Xiling Sect
In this episode, Wang Tian Shi discusses the Xu Family's alliance with the Holy Blood Sect with Lu Zi Zheng. He warns Lu Zi Zheng that while the Holy Blood Sect's blood cultivation techniques grant immense power early on, they come at a great cost to the practitioner's body, often requiring them to consume the blood of others. However, Lu Zi Zheng remains unconvinced, believing the Holy Blood Sect is not as malevolent as Wang claims.
The Xiling Sect hosts a banquet to welcome Lu Zi Zheng, but the wine is poisoned, killing all the sect's disciples. Lu Zi Zheng then urges Wang Tian Shan to join the Holy Blood Sect, claiming that Ruan Shi Qiong, who had vowed to avenge them, is dead and has even sacrificed her heart to a sword spirit, which has since been destroyed.
Elsewhere, a group from the Holy Blood Sect confronts Zhang Sifeng, demanding he hand over a treasure map. When he refuses, Lu Zi Zheng threatens him using Wang Tian Shan. Wracked with guilt, Wang Tian Shan ultimately takes his own life. Ashamed that the Xiling Sect had a traitor in its midst, Zhang Sifeng also commits suicide. Lu Zi Zheng then burns down the Xiling Sect, unwilling to let anyone else possess what he could not obtain, before heading to the Ji Zhou Academy.
At the academy, Shao Yi has gone missing, prompting Duan Yu and Gu Qingqiao to go search for him. Gu Xingmi tries to stop Gu Qingqiao, but Duan Yu declares his desire to be with her. Gu Xingmi realizes Gu Qingqiao still has feelings for Duan Yu.
Duan Yu and Gu Qingqiao discover that Shao Yi has been gambling at a cockfighting den, likely in search of the Ding Tian Pearl. They suspect his disappearance is connected to the Holy Blood Sect. Meanwhile, Lu Zi Zheng investigates Chen Mufly, whose wife is gravely ill, leading him to the academy where he encounters Gu Qingqiao.
