Episode 32 recap: Qian and Yan.

Everyone was excited and wanted to kill Bai Hu, hoping to gain merit and be praised by future generations. Hu Zi, disregarding everything, defended his mother, but there were too many people and the power disparity was too great. Zhao Xin Tong and Qi Xiao Xuan came to support Hu Zi and the others. Seeing the commander defending Bai Hu in the same way, the crowd became angry. At this moment, Qi Wu Ji personally arrived to defeat Zhao Xin Tong and the others and capture Bai Hu, intending to burn him to death.

Mo Ling Zhi felt that something was not right and wanted to assess the situation before taking action. When Qi Wu Ji ordered his subordinates to carry out the execution by fire, Hu Zi, Zhao Xin Tong, and Qi Xiao Xuan descended from the sky to protect Bai Hu. The crowd was furious to see their commander opposing their ancestors and couldn't understand why they were pleading with a monster. Qi Wu Ji forcibly took the Vajra from Hu Zi's hand, becoming very angry. He revealed that Bai Hu had killed his loved ones and decided to never coexist with Bai Hu. Qi Wu Ji tied them up and used torches to burn Bai Hu.

Hu Zi was devastated at that moment. Qi Xiao Xuan found Qi Wu Ji and tried to persuade their ancestor to release Hu Zi's mother, even offering to be expelled from the sect. Hu Zi witnessed his mother's death right in front of him and couldn't accept the reality. Mo Gu Zi, Qi Xiao Xuan, Zhao Xin Tong, and Wang Yu Qian turned around to search for Hu Zi, fearing that he might do something drastic.

They arrived at the sand dunes and suddenly found Hu Zi unconscious on the ground. Zhao Xin Tong could empathize with Hu Zi's current state of mind and felt distressed seeing him silent, refusing to eat or drink. They all stayed there together with Hu Zi. However, when night fell, Hu Zi suddenly stood up. Qi Xiao Xuan tried to encourage Hu Zi with their own experience and urged him not to be afraid and not to abandon their comrades, no matter what difficulties they encountered.

In a dream, Qi Xiao Xuan discovered what appeared to be bloodstains and realized that their elemental spirit had quietly flown away from their body. They followed the direction in which the essence had flown and found themselves in a place that resembled their dream. They also saw Yan bound there. Qi Xiao Xuan didn't notice anything unusual, but Yan looked up and called Qi Xiao Xuan a fool.

Zhao Xin Tong and the others hadn't noticed that Qi Xiao Xuan had disappeared. When Hu Zi woke up, he realized that his companions were all concerned about him, so he pretended to be calm and engaged in conversation with them. Hu Zi learned that Qi Xiao Xuan had severed ties with their ancestor because of him. Mo Ling Zhi also tried to persuade Qi Wu Ji not to define Hu Zi too negatively, considering his ancestral identity. However, she didn't dare say much.

Suddenly, at this moment, someone reported that the place where they were stationed had demonic energy.

Qi Wu Ji told everyone about the Demon Emperor's heart and wanted to lead them to destroy it. Yan and Qi Xiao Xuan had been arguing here, with Qi Xiao Xuan trying to persuade Yan to turn back and not make the same mistakes again.

However, Yan believed that Qi Xiao Xuan was trying to deceive him and take over his body. Qi Xiao Xuan was very emotional and physically weak, and Yan saw that Qi Xiao Xuan was on the brink of losing their life. In the cruelest words, Yan told Qi Xiao Xuan that they would watch them dissipate little by little right in front of them.

Hu Zi and the companions were searching for Qi Xiao Xuan. Qi Wu Ji arrived at the source of the blood-red waterfall and instructed everyone to set up the spell while he went to investigate the demonic energy further ahead. Among the many demon masters, some believed in the ancestor, while others found the ancestor a bit strange. Mo Ling Zhi also sensed that something was not right and that the ancestor was acting strangely.

Mo Ling Zhi went up the mountain to search for the ancestor but couldn't find them. Suddenly, they realized that someone had set a trap to lead them here. Yi Mei was pleased that Yan and Qi Xiao Xuan were at odds and wanted to merge the two twins into one. Yan felt somewhat unwilling, but Qi Xiao Xuan, who had awakened at that moment, interrupted Yi Mei. They remembered the plan they had discussed with Yan earlier and were willing to sacrifice themselves to help Yan stay in the light.

Qi Xiao Xuan saw Qi Wu Ji calling out to the ancestor, but Yan told Qi Xiao Xuan that the person was not the ancestor but a demon. Yan recalled everything they had seen. They saw Qi Wu Ji questioning Yi Mei, and Yi Mei told Qi Wu Ji that they were simply powerless but would return years later with a powerful Vajra. Yi Mei also wanted Qi Wu Ji to agree to their terms: the Night Zither for the Heart of the Twin. Yan realized that something was wrong, but it was already too late.
