Episode 23 recap: Jiuchen self-destructed, and Kuang Tian was killed.

Jiuchen chose to self-destruct using his magic power. After a loud shout from Kuang Tian, all his hair turned white. Without time to grieve, Xuanli rallied and prepared to deal with Kuang Tian together with Mobing. Kuang Tian restrained Qingxue and threw her to Xuanli. Mobing exerted all his strength and killed Kuang Tian. Xuanli helped Qingxue dispel the dark energy. Mobing was very worried that it would harm her, but Xuanli reassured him, saying that her own dark energy was very powerful. Qingxue sincerely thanked Xuanli.

Nan Hao mentioned that many disciples were affected by the dark energy and asked if Mobing had a solution. After hearing this, Qingxue volunteered to absorb and refine the dark energy for them. They headed to the lowest level of the Ninth Heaven, and Xuanli said she could also go. However, Qingxue believed that Xuanli would be more susceptible to the interference of the dark energy and insisted on going herself. Mobing agreed, and then called Xuanli aside to have a conversation with her.

Qingxue bid farewell to Nan Hao, who said that even after a hundred years, she would still be a member of the Ninth Heaven and that it would always be her home. Qingxue was deeply moved. Mobing took Xuanli to the cliff where Han Mu had committed suicide before. Xuanli burst into tears, and Mobing was worried that she might do something foolish. However, Xuanli said it was impossible because she still wanted him to return Han Mu to her. This reassured Mobing, who stared blankly at Xuanli. Xuanli asked if there was something on her face, and Mobing, caught off guard, lied and said there was dark energy on her face. Xuanli was confused since she thought she had controlled it well. She pulled Mobing closer and asked him to take a good look. The two of them locked eyes, and the atmosphere became ambiguous.
