Episode 9 recap: Wu Geng and Bai Cai joined the Protoss Hidden Division.
Wu Geng fought against Gui Mu but was consistently defeated. At this moment, Chen Jing arrived. Wu Geng lied and claimed that Gui Mu had eaten Zhazha, which enraged Chen Jing. Chen Jing attacked Gui Mu, and Wu Geng and Bai Cai took the opportunity to escape.Zhou Qiao led his men to chase Wu Geng and Bai Cai. At a critical moment, a giant with big feet appeared and saved the two, sacrificing himself in the process. Wu Geng and Bai Cai were filled with sorrow. Zhou Qiao, Gui Mu, and Chen Jing arrived one after another. Wu Geng was about to be defeated, but Fu Xi appeared and saved Wu Geng and Bai Cai.
Wu Geng used the Chaos Fire to confront Gui Mu, but he was quickly injured by Gui Mu. However, he refused to surrender to the power of Gui Mu's Protoss and instead took the opportunity to mock Gui Mu with the scene of Gui Mu being defeated and tormented by Xin Wang in the past. Taking advantage of Gui Mu's madness, Wu Geng used the Chaos Fire to explode the entrance of the cave and escaped with Bai Cai.
However, Gui Mu soon caught up with them. At this moment, Chen Jing learned that Gui Mu was eating live people in a secret room and mistakenly believed that his son Zhazha had been killed by Gui Mu. Chen Jing accused Gui Mu of raising two traitors. Bai Cai took the opportunity to explain that he was captured today to help Gui Mu heal. To provoke Chen Jing, Wu Geng deliberately told Chen Jing that Gui Mu had eaten Zhazha. This made Chen Jing furious and he interrogated Gui Mu. Later, Chen Jing found the red bead necklace carried by his son Zhazha on Gui Mu.
Chen Jing couldn't bear it anymore and attacked Gui Mu. Zhou Qiao arrived and told Chen Jing that he knew where Zhazha was. He also revealed that they had all been deceived by A Gou and that there was a tunnel in the mine that led to the outside world. He speculated that A Gou used the tunnel to let the slaves escape and used Zhazha to sow discord.
Desperate to save his son, Chen Jing hurriedly went to find Wu Geng and Bai Cai, who were trying to leave secretly. Wu Geng and Bai Cai were soon intercepted by Chen Jing and his men. Although Wu Geng told Chen Jing that Zhazha was still alive, Chen Jing had crossed his bottom line because of Wu Geng's actions and developed a murderous intent towards him. Zhou Qiao wanted to torture Bai Cai to force Wu Geng to reveal Zhazha's whereabouts. In order to protect Wu Geng from being implicated, Bai Cai insulted and provoked Zhou Qiao. However, Zhou Qiao became enraged and wanted to kill Wu Geng.
At this critical moment, the giant with big feet appeared and rescued the two. In order to allow Wu Geng and Bai Cai to successfully escape, the giant with big feet blocked Zhou Qiao and the others from chasing them and was ultimately killed in front of Wu Geng.
After losing his friend, Wu Geng violently attacked Zhou Qiao. Gui Mu intervened to fight against Wu Geng, but just as Wu Geng was in a precarious situation, Fu Xi arrived to save him. It turns out that the old man who had saved Wu Geng multiple times before was the former high priest of the Protoss.
Fu Xi had betrayed the Protoss because of Hei Long's wrongdoing and directly sent Wu Geng and Bai Cai away. While Wu Geng and Bai Cai were celebrating their newfound freedom, A Lan, entrusted by Fu Xi, arrived to pick them up.
After dealing with Gui Mu, Fu Xi also arrived to join Wu Geng and the others. Fu Xi was pleased with Wu Geng's growth in the mine and asked him about his plans after leaving the mine. Wu Geng wanted to become powerful enough to confront Hei Long. Fu Xi asked if he was willing to join the Protoss Hidden Tribe for training. Wu Geng asked about Fu Xi's true identity, and Fu Xi revealed that he was indeed a member of the Protoss before, but he couldn't tolerate Hei Long's actions. Therefore, he defected from the Protoss and established the Protoss Hidden Tribe with like-minded individuals. He was now the high priest of the Protoss.
Fu Xi told Wu Geng that if he chose this path, he would face the most powerful enemies in the future and encounter countless dangers, even risking his life. Although Wu Geng could choose to live a secluded life with Bai Cai, he didn't want to see more people being bullied by the Protoss. He ultimately decided to join the Protoss Hidden Tribe for training.
Bai Cai wanted to be with Wu Geng and also agreed to join the Protoss Hidden Tribe. Fu Xi removed the slave marks from both of them. Chen Jing, grieving alone after losing his son, was then reunited with Zhazha, who returned from outside. Father and son embraced and wept. Through this experience, Zhazha learned many things from A Gou and realized that he hadn't been filial enough to his father before. Chen Jing never expected that his mischievous son would be convinced by A Gou. He couldn't help but feel regret for underestimating A Gou in the past.
Fu Xi introduced Wu Geng and Bai Cai to the Protoss Hidden Tribe and arranged a place for them to stay. At Fu Xi's residence, Bai Cai accidentally saw an object that resembled the item held by the person who killed his parents years ago.
