Episode 24 recap: Everyone joined forces to save Lang Mo's wife, praying for her to be brought back to the realm of control.
Under heavy rain, Luo Mai Ming, accompanied by Cang Feng, waited for Zhu Yu's arrival. Zhu Yu saw that the Luo family indeed had a spring, and Luo Mai Ming expressed that he had been waiting for a long time. Su Xuan, who followed along, asked Luo Mai Ming to hand over the Hot Sea keychain. The two sides did not agree, and Zhu Yu and Luo Mai Ming started fighting. Su Xuan was surprised to see that Luo Mai Ming actually blocked Zhu Yu's attacks.
Luo Mai Ming coldly stated that in the Western Regions, no one could harm him. Yin Xu Wei also arrived, and Luo Mai Ming invited both parties into the room. Yue Jin Zhao's left eye foresaw that Lang Mo might be in danger, so everyone went to look for him. Luo Zhao Yan sent people to investigate and found that Lang Mo was now in Mang Wan Village.
Since Yin Xu Wei knew how to help Luo Mai Ming remove the blood curse, Luo Mai Ming planned to hand over the keychain to him, allowing Zhu Yu to freely indulge in sucking blood. After the three of them agreed on this, they went their separate ways. However, Luo Mai Ming waited until they were all gone.
Xian Qing asked Ming Xiu to return and guard the spirit with Qingshan. Ju Shi Fang, who had always thought that Gu Han Jiang's death was related to himself, also expressed his intention to guard for Senior Gu. Therefore, Ming Xiu entrusted the Yunlai Stone to Luo Zhao Yan for safekeeping.
Yue Jin Zhao led everyone to Mang Wan Village and indeed found Lang Mo there. The three major powerhouses of the Luo family were sitting in the grand hall, discussing the ownership of the Hot Sea keychain, their fists clenched tightly. Lang Mo told everyone that when he first saw the Qi Yuan Pearl, he thought it looked beautiful, so he brought one back for his wife, Yu Xiang, to wear. However, the Qi Yuan Pearl merged into Yu Xiang's body, and since then, her condition had been deteriorating, with her being in a perpetual state of unconsciousness.
Xian Qing and the others followed Lang Mo to see Yu Xiang, and after examining her pulse, they realized that there was no hope of recovery. Yin Xu Wei confronted Zhu Yu outside the Luo family's gate, questioning why he desired the Hot Sea when there was an abundant supply of Qi Yuan Pearls. Zhu Yu warned him that he had consumed too much of the dark emotions of humans and was far inferior to the purity of the Hot Sea. Yin Xu Wei was just waiting for the day when Zhu Yu would lose control and self-destruct.
Yin Xu Wei watched Zhu Yu and Su Xuan leave the Luo family in a daze. Yu Xiang was not saved, and Lang Mo held her and prepared to bury her. Everyone accompanied them to bid farewell to Yu Xiang. However, Lang Mo suddenly attacked the crowd, injuring them. He called out the person hiding behind him, who turned out to be Bian Luo Huan and his younger sister, Xiao Yuan. They had been threatening Lang Mo with Yu Xiang's life, forcing him to attack the others.
However, Lang Mo's panic aroused suspicion from Yue Jin Zhao, and Lang Mo had no choice but to tell the truth. Qi had helped Yu Xiang remove the Qi Yuan Pearl. Yue Jin Zhao instructed Lang Mo to stage another act according to the previous plan to deceive Bian Luo Huan. Xiao Yuan realized that something was amiss and directly attacked with a weapon. A chaotic fight broke out, with Qi confronting Bian Luo Huan and blaming him for keeping secrets from her.
Bian Luo Huan suddenly drugged everyone, causing them to lose all strength. Qi was also bound by Bian Luo Huan's ropes. Seeing Xiao Yuan's ruthless actions, the power of the divine beast within Qi was awakened, and she struck Bian Luo Huan, causing him severe injuries. Despite enduring the intense pain, Bian Luo Huan instructed Xiao Yuan to take Yue Jin Zhao and Qi away. Xian Qing deliberately grabbed Yue Jin Zhao and threatened Xiao Yuan that if she resisted any further, he would kill Yue Jin Zhao with a single strike and send her back with a corpse.
Only then did Xiao Yuan leave with Bian Luo Huan. However, when everyone woke up, they discovered that Qi was missing. Lang Mo and Yu Xiang came to express their gratitude and gave their herbal medicine to Xian Qing. Afterwards, Luo Zhao Yan led everyone to ride the Yunlai Stone back to Qingshan. Luo Zhao Yan was puzzled because their decision to search for Lang Mo was spontaneous, and they had learned about Mang Wan Village from the Luo family's descendants. He wondered how Bian Luo Huan's Hengdao sect obtained the information and set up an ambush in advance.
One possibility was that Luo Mai Ming leaked the information to them, indicating a deep connection between Luo Mai Ming and the Hengdao sect. Yue Jin Zhao approached and said that he would visit the Luo family. Now that Qi had been taken away by Bian Luo Huan, perhaps Luo Mai Ming would know the location of the realm-control pivot. No matter how difficult it might be, he was determined to rescue Qi.
