Episode 2 recap: Nanping sacrificed herself to protect Xuanli and died.
Xuanli escaped, and Han Mu bought the money bag that fell on the ground. The Chaotic Pagoda showed signs of disturbance, and the seal began to loosen. However, the Emperor would remain sealed for another nine hundred years. Nan Hao said that when the Emperor sealed the Demon Lord, he was also seriously injured. One soul had drifted to the mortal realm and reincarnated as a human. Upon hearing this, Master Bo immediately remembered Han Mu, a disciple recently accepted by Nan Hao, who bore a striking resemblance to the Emperor. Nan Hao suggested that Han Mu might hold the key to unraveling the situation.
Xuanli returned home and told her mother about what happened today. However, Nanping noticed immediately that something was missing from Xuanli's neck. Before she could inquire, the four elders of the Demon Clan arrived. Nanping instructed Xuanli to stay indoors and not go outside, while she went out to deal with the elders who sought to seize the Heavenly Gate Crystal. They engaged in a fight, and when Xuanli saw Nanping being knocked down, she was filled with anger and unleashed a strange power, defeating the elders.
Meanwhile, Han Mu, walking on the road, sensed the disturbance and arrived at Xuanli's house. He helped Xuanli save her mother, but due to exhaustion, he fainted. When Nanping woke up, she placed a jade pendant into Xuanli's hand. Through the pendant, Nan Hao realized that Nanping had appeared and hurried over. Upon hearing Xuanli calling Nanping "mother," he learned that Nanping had left behind the child from back then. After introducing himself to Xuanli, he cast a spell that made her unconscious.
Nan Hao reproached Nanping for her selfish actions in the past and wanted to kill Xuanli. However, Nanping stopped her elder brother and, disregarding her own life, transferred her own spiritual essence to Xuanli. She pleaded with her brother to conceal Xuanli's true identity and keep her by his side. Afterward, Nanping dissipated. Nan Hao erased Xuanli's memories of that night and accepted her as a disciple.
