Episode 6 recap: Huo Xiao Xie fell into the Tujia Formation, surrounded by dangers.
Huo Xiao Xie and Shui Yao Er woke up in the morning and walked out of their room, only to find Qian Zhang Gui lying on the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood, as if he had already died. While they were questioning who could have killed Qian Zhang Gui, the three brothers of the Yan family and Hei San Bian also woke up one after another. Suddenly, the room started shaking, and before long, everyone was knocked unconscious and fell into a temporary coma.
Huo Xiao Xie was the first to wake up and found himself and Shui Yao Er suspended in mid-air. Shui Yao Er jumped down to the ground first and pretended to catch Huo Xiao Xie. Huo Xiao Xie then jumped down, but he landed heavily on the ground. The second brother of the Yan family was impaled through the heart by a wooden stake during the shaking of the room. Lin Wan hurried to help with the diagnosis, but it was too late. Except for the second brother of the Yan family, the others were unharmed.
Huo Xiao Xie noticed that everyone was chained with iron chains, but the chains were relatively long and allowed some movement. Qian Zhang Gui's body had disappeared without a trace. Yan Jing Tian was using his internal energy to heal Hei San Bian's injuries. Yan Jia's second brother, Yan Shouyi, found a machete and continuously struck the iron chains, but it was of no use. Lin Wan said that the iron chains seemed to be forged from hundred-year-old mysterious iron, and the lockholes had special mechanisms. Based on what she had heard before, they seemed to have fallen into a trap in the Tujia Formation.
Thirty years ago, Yufeng Shengbu besieged the Five Elements Family to seize the Sacred King Cauldron. Originally, they had no chance of winning, but unexpectedly, there was a traitor from the Tujia tribe who was skilled in mechanisms, known as the "Underground Mole." With his help, Yufeng Shengbu gained the upper hand. Zhang Si Ye was in charge of Yufeng Shengbu at that time, and it is likely that the Underground Mole had already defected to Zhang Si Ye. The Tujia tribe gradually disappeared afterwards.
Not far from the hidden room, Qian Zhang Gui was observing the movements inside the room through a telescope while running the restaurant with the chef. It turned out that Qian Zhang Gui faked his death in order to lure everyone into the hall and have them all controlled by mechanisms. Seeing that everyone was unharmed, Qian Zhang Gui had the chef prepare food and drinks, and the three of them sat at a distance, watching the show.
Then, the central control hub of the iron chains began to rotate and spread out into the shape of a lotus flower. Each petal was a sharp iron piece. The iron chains of each person started to tighten gradually. Huo Xiao Xie tried to pull Hei San Bian's chain with all his strength, seeking revenge for his master. Yan Jing Tian discovered that everyone's iron chains were interconnected and quickly stopped Huo Xiao Xie.
When one move didn't work, Qian Zhang Gui began pumping poison gas into the hidden room, causing everyone to become dizzy. Yan Shouyi demanded the Yutai Pearl from Lin Wan, while Hei San Bian mistook Yan Jing Tian for the head of the Huo family and questioned why he had abandoned him. Shui Yao Er's mind was filled with concern for Huo Xiao Xie's safety. Seeing that everyone's minds were confused, Lin Wan quickly used silver needles to prick each person. Huo Xiao Xie suggested that everyone pretend to faint and see who was behind the mechanisms.
Seeing that everyone except Huo Xiao Xie had passed out, Qian Zhang Gui entered the hidden room to watch the spectacle. Suddenly, Huo Xiao Xie took control of Qian Zhang Gui, and the others immediately stood up to help. Yan Shouyi was injured, and with no hope of survival, he grabbed Qian Zhang Gui and jumped into the center of the iron lotus flower, where they were instantly crushed, avenging their senior brother.
After Yan Shouyi's death, Lin Wan's iron chain was unlocked, and she hurriedly escaped from the hidden room to find the location of the control mechanisms. Zheng Ze Dao had been observing for a long time and suddenly met Lin Wan. They entered the control center together, closed the gear switch, and finally stopped the iron lotus flower from rotating. The chains of the remaining people were gradually unlocked.
Huo Xiao Xie and the others quietly left the hidden room, rendezvoused with Lin Wan, and prepared to return to Wang Family Fort. Suddenly, Shui Yao Er was grabbed by Zhao Sire, who appeared out of nowhere, and his throat was choked. Zhao Sire questioned Shui Yao Er about the cause of his mother's death. Huo Xiao Xie was determined to save Shui Yao Er and was reminded of his master's tragic death. Anger surged within him, and he couldn't help but use the Fire Cotton Slash against Zhao Sire.
