Episode 28 recap: The seven clans discussed how to counter the Soul Hall.
Gu Yao activated the bloodline suppression to prevent Xiao Yan's eruption of the different fire, but at the same time, he also demonstrated his extraordinary strength to everyone. Xiao Yan expressed his gratitude to Gu Yuan. Although he lost this time, his request to marry Xun Er remained unchanged. At this moment, a soldier sent by the Gu clan returned to report that the Spirit Clan had been attacked, the clan leader was killed, and the clan princess, Ling Xi, was brought back to the Gu clan unconscious. Gu Yuan used his inner power to help Ling Xi stop the bleeding. They discovered that Ling Xi's injuries were related to the Soul Hall.
Although Xiao Yan didn't win this battle, he relied solely on his own abilities. If he had the power of bloodline, he would not be underestimated. Xiao Yan's goal was not only this; he proposed joining forces with the Gu clan to resist the Soul Hall. Yao Chen suggested first listening to the opinions of the seven clan chiefs. When Ling Xi woke up, she told everyone about the attack on the Spirit Clan. It was a person dressed in black who called himself Hun Mie Sheng. He controlled the Illusory Flame and wanted to seize the remaining fragments of the Jing Lian Yao Huo from the Spirit Clan.
Yao Chen informed everyone that the Stellar Pavilion had been attacked recently, and Hun Mie Sheng's goal was also the remaining fragments of the Jing Lian Yao Huo. Now he had obtained the complete map of the Jing Lian Yao Huo and knew its location.
Gu Yuan was deeply concerned. He worried that if Hun Mie Sheng obtained the Jing Lian Yao Huo and activated the Illusory Flame, no one would be able to stop the resurgence of the Soul Hall. Yao Chen strongly recommended Xiao Yan to confront the Soul Hall, but because Xiao Yan lacked the power of bloodline, the clan chiefs of the seven clans doubted his abilities.
Yao Chen was dissatisfied with their internal division based on bloodline power, but Xiao Yan didn't mind. Instead, he took out the prepared fragment of the Jing Lian Yao Huo and handed it to Gu Yuan, expressing his determination to fight the Soul Hall together with everyone. Yao Chen and Xiao Yan left first. Xiao Yan persuaded Yao Chen, saying that the seven clans didn't view him negatively but rather believed that only the power of bloodline could determine strength. He promised to show them his true abilities and activate his full power to confront the Soul Hall. Yao Chen was relieved and pleased after hearing Xiao Yan's words. Xiao Yan had finally grown up and matured.
Gu Yuan said that the urgent task was to obtain the Jing Lian Yao Huo before Hun Mie Sheng and prevent the resurgence of the Soul Hall.
Gu Yuan informed everyone that the Tuo She Fight Emperor had divided the Tuo She Gu Di Jade into eight pieces and entrusted them to the eight clans for safekeeping. If the ancient jades were brought together, they would unleash an irresistible power capable of countering the Soul Hall. The seven clans responded one after another and agreed to entrust the ancient jades to the Gu clan for safekeeping. Only the piece belonging to the Xiao clan remained. In the evening, Xun Er approached Gu Yuan, who told her that she should now understand the significance of her mission to guard the ancient jade in the Xiao clan. It was a comprehensive consideration for the battle against the Soul Hall. Gu Yuan also mentioned Xiao Yan's proposal for marriage, but he couldn't agree to it because Xun Er was now the Gu clan's princess and possessed a divine-grade bloodline. It meant she was destined to shoulder greater responsibilities. Xun Er nodded tearfully.
Xun Er found Xiao Yan and informed him about the decision to return the ancient jade to the Gu clan's safekeeping. Xiao Yan did not hesitate and handed the ancient jade to Xun Er, believing that with or without the ancient jade, Xun Er would never leave him. He assured her that he would go to the location of the Jing Lian Yao Huo and confront the Soul Hall.
Back at the Stellar Pavilion, Xiao Yan proposed the formation of an alliance on the Central Plains to unite the martial world and collectively oppose the Soul Hall. Feng Xian was skeptical, as the various factions had always been divided and could never unite. However, Yao Chen supported Xiao Yan and initiated contact with the Wan Jian Ge and Huang Quan Ge factions. After weighing the pros and cons, they unified their thoughts and set a date for the establishment of the alliance.
The Wind Thunder Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Fei Lao, was angry at the betrayal of Wan Jian Ge and Huang Quan Ge. Feng Qing Er personally returned to persuade Fei Lao and praised the Pavilion Master, stating that Yao Chen had always held great respect for Fei Lao, so how could the alliance be complete without the Wind Thunder Pavilion? Fei Lao's heart was moved by her words. Ying Wei reported to Ya Fei that someone had spent a large sum of money at the auction house to purchase items that weren't particularly valuable. Ya Fei sensed that there must be something more to it.
Ying Wei approached Bing He Gu Zhu and questioned why he had brought so much gold coins. It went against the rules of the auction house, so the money had to be returned to him. However, Bing He Gu Zhu generously offered to hand over the money and only then revealed his intention to contribute to the alliance against the Soul Hall.
Today was the day of the alliance's establishment, and Xiao Yan was restless, unsure if they would come or not. Yao Chen comforted him, advising him to do everything he could and leave the rest to fate.
