Episode 31 recap: Yun Tian He and others went to the Underworld.
Zhulong mentioned that once in the Underworld, there is no return, and they would have to figure out a way to go back on their own. They were unaware of the number of deaths that occurred every day in the mortal realm. Yun Tian He met his father and asked if Xuan Xiao would not have been sealed in ice if they hadn't taken away Wang Shu Jian at that time.
Mu Rong Zi Ying and the others encountered the envoy of the Underworld. Su Yao made a demand that Mu Rong Zi Ying must bring Yun Tian He and the others back, as Yun Tian He could control Wang Shu Jian, and she would not allow it to fall into the hands of others. Mu Rong Zi Ying agreed to the request.
Elder Chong Guang instructed Han Ling Sha to prepare a medicinal meal for Yun Tian He to eat well. Yun Tian He asked if Elder Chong Guang was intentionally delaying time. Mu Rong Zi Ying came over and said that he would accompany them.
Elder Chong Guang asked Mu Rong Zi Ying about Su Yao's conditions, and Mu Rong Zi Ying explained. Su Yao went to find Xuan Xiao and said that she could now control Wang Shu Jian and was the only one who could be with Xuan Xiao.
Xuan Xiao ignored Su Yao and stated that only his voice mattered in the Qionghua Sect at present. Yun Tian He and the others arrived at Mount Bu Zhou and met the Zhulong there. Zhulong asked them why they had come, and Yun Tian He said they wanted to save their friends, hoping that by doing so, they could save more people.
Zhulong mentioned that over the years, he had only heard compliments and that no one dared to talk to him in such a manner. He said that they needed to be tested. Zhulong asked Yun Tian He to withstand his strike, and Yun Tian He took out the Chasing Moon Bow. Zhulong attacked Yun Tian He and expressed surprise that Yun Tian He could become the owner of the Chasing Moon Bow.
Mu Rong Zi Ying wanted to heal Yun Tian He's injuries, but Zhulong said that it was impossible for an ordinary person like him to heal injuries caused by a divine beast's attack. Zhulong mentioned that the Sun-Shooting Bow and the Chasing Moon Bow were a pair and suggested that Yun Tian He go find the Sun-Shooting Bow. Zhulong concealed Yun Tian He and the others, allowing them three hours in the Underworld.
Zhulong reiterated that once in the Underworld, there was no return, and they would have to figure out a way to go back on their own.
Yun Tian He and the others arrived in the Underworld, and Han Ling Sha mentioned that they were unaware of the high daily death toll in the mortal realm. They narrowly avoided being discovered but were helped by the envoy of the Underworld, who demonstrated their past.
Mu Rong Zi Ying and the others met the envoy of the Underworld, who revealed that they were the faceless person in the Royal Tomb of Yun Nan Wang. They had encountered Yun Tian Qing here because Yun Tian Qing felt guilty for Yun Tian He and had been waiting here all this time.
Yun Tian He met their father and asked if Xuan Xiao would not have been sealed in ice if they hadn't taken away Wang Shu Jian. Yun Tian He wanted to know the truth of what happened back then, and Yun Tian Qing revealed it to them.
Back then, Tai Qing wanted to harness the power of the Purple Crystal Stone and forged the Xi He and Wang Shu swords to break the barrier of the Demon Realm. Su Yu originally intended to find Xuan Zhen but unexpectedly encountered Tai Qing talking to Xuan Zhen. Tai Qing already knew about Xuan Zhen's affair with his disciple, and Xuan Zhen pleaded for him to spare her and their daughter, offering to lead an attack on the Demon Realm.
Xuan Zhen revealed the truth of the matter, that they attacked innocent demon clans in their quest for ascension. Ai Qing didn't see anything wrong with it and believed the demon clans' deaths were justified. Han Ling Sha and Mu Rong Zi Ying waited there, and Han Ling Sha explained that both humans and demons come here after death, implying that in this life as humans, they could become demons, blurring the boundaries between them.
Mu Rong Zi Ying tried to awaken Han Ling Sha's realization, as he may have also killed innocent demons in the past and vowed not to do so again. Han Ling Sha's bracelet lit up, indicating that their cousin had arrived, which greatly excited Han Ling Sha. Su Yu informed Xuan Xiao and Yun Tian Qing about this, but Xuan Xiao didn't believe it, whereas Yun Tian Qing did.
Later, they launched an attack on the Demon Realm, and Yun Tian Qing realized they were completely mistaken and went to save Liu Meng Li. Xuan Zhen was killed, and Yun Tian Qing hoped that Yun Tian Qing would return alive. Yun Tian He asked why their mother died, and Yun Tian Qing revealed that it was because of Yun Tian He.
Han Lingsha is competitive, unwilling to accept defeat, and easily gets hot-headed. When misunderstood and provoked by a vendor, she insists on retaliating by stealing from him. When Ziying criticizes her lack of talent for cultivation, she gets angry.
When mocked by the God of Wealth, she is determined to save face. Even when barked at by a dog on the street, she feels the need to respond with insults. You may think she is willful and stubborn, but she is also sensitive, gentle, and considerate.
She understands the pain of Tianhe growing up without his parents around, the loneliness of Mengli being raised in seclusion, and the overwhelming pressure Ziying puts on himself. She doesn't want Tianhe to blame himself for her sake, and she hopes Ziying can lighten his burden and focus on his swordsmanship.
When conflicts arise, she worries about Mengli having to put on a brave face when she returns to her adoptive parents. And when Ziying and Tianhe hesitate to reconcile, she encourages them to be more open and honest.
