Episode 28 recap: Liu Meng Li discovered that they are a demon.

Han Ling Sha was very surprised and said that Liu Meng Li was not Huai Shuo. Han Ling Sha and Liu Meng Li got into a fight. Someone came to report to Su Yao that the dream beast demon clan had escaped, and now many disciples were injured. The extent of Han Ling Sha's injuries was unknown.

Su Yao believed that this demon targeted them because they knew the three of them could help Xuan Xiao break the ice, so they needed to be careful. Su Yao was glad to hear that they had found the second cold artifact. Su Yao mentioned that the Sword Sect was currently without a leader and expressed a desire for Mu Rong Zi Ying to become the sect master. However, Mu Rong Zi Ying was hesitant, feeling that they were not skilled enough. Su Yao believed it was something Mu Rong Zi Ying should do.

Yun Tian He wanted to find medicine for Han Ling Sha, but Su Yao stated that Han Ling Sha's condition was caused by an internal cold and that they had already found a cure. Yun Tian He was also pleased to hear this. Gui Xie arrived at the Qingfeng Pavilion and saw the person in the painting. That person expressed sensing the presence of the young master before but hadn't received any news since then.

Feng Changge arrived and discovered Gui Xie's true identity. Gui Xie left, and Feng Changge urged everyone to quickly gather their belongings and leave because the place was no longer safe. Gui Xie appeared in the form of Huai Shuo, which surprised Han Ling Sha, who insisted that Gui Xie was not Huai Shuo.

Gui Xie went to Liu Meng Li and tried to take them away, but Han Ling Sha tried to stop him and got injured in the process. Gui Xie initially intended to take Liu Meng Li, but then Yun Tian He and others arrived.

Liu Meng Li stated that either Gui Xie would kill them or they would commit suicide, so Gui Xie had no choice but to leave. Su Yao and the others arrived and mistakenly believed that Gui Xie came to kill Han Ling Sha. Someone reported to Su Yao that the dream beast demon clan had escaped, and many disciples were injured, including Han Ling Sha whose injuries were unclear.

Su Yao reiterated that the demon targeted them because they knew the three of them could help Xuan Xiao break the ice, so they needed to be cautious. Su Yao sensed demonic energy in the area, and Xuan Xiao noticed something was wrong with Liu Meng Li but didn't say anything. Xuan Xiao mentioned that Liu Meng Li had been stained with demon blood, which explained the presence of demonic energy.

Su Yao remained silent as well.

Elder Chong Guang informed Mu Rong Zi Ying about the clue of the Kunlin scale and asked them to find it. Xuan Ye called Liu Meng Li over and stated that she was not suitable to stay there and asked her to leave cleanly.

Xuan Ye mentioned that Liu Meng Li should understand the meaning behind their words. Liu Meng Li explained that they came here to uncover their true identity, and until they found out the truth, they couldn't leave. They challenged Xuan Ye to prove his concern by allowing them to make their own decision. Xuan Ye stated that they had said everything they needed to and expressed a desire to see Xuan Ye one more time. Liu Meng Li agreed.

Su Shen wanted to investigate the cause of their master's death and arrived at Gui Xie's location. Gui Xie intended to kill Su Shen, but Su Shen revealed that they knew the truth about the great battle from years ago and had saved their young master. When they left, they had made it clear that they wanted to uncover all the facts. Now, the only thing left was the cause of their master's death.

Gui Xie was surprised to learn about this and handed Zong Lian's sword to Su Shen, recounting the events of the past. Han Ling Sha and the others were preparing to depart, and Yun Tian He had not yet arrived, which seemed strange to Han Ling Sha.

Yun Tian He eventually arrived and explained that they had bid farewell to Xuan Xiao. Su Shen also approached and said they wanted to speak a few words with them. Su Shen handed the sword to Mu Rong Zi Ying, explaining that back then, Yun Tian Qing and the others fought to save more people. Mu Rong Zi Ying believed that this debt must be repaid. Su Shen wanted them to understand their true intentions and not forget.

Su Shen told Yun Tian He that their father had mentioned that the Kunlin scale was related to Yun Tian He and urged them to go back to the Qingluan Peak and investigate. Su Shen then met with Su Yao and revealed that they didn't have much time left to live.

Su Shen hoped that Su Yao would let go, as the battle from years ago was already defying fate, and they didn't want to see more lives sacrificed. However, Su Yao disagreed, stating that everything they had done was for Xuan Xiao. Su Shen, holding on to their last breath, reminded Su Yao of when they first started, advising them not to make the same mistakes again.
