> Back From the Brink Recap

Tian Yao realized that Su Ying had sealed off Yongzhou City with the Dragon Horn Formation, and did not want to implicate Yan Hui. He wanted to leave, but Yan Hui refused and instead led them into the underground city she had been preparing. When the Beast Arena was bombed, many monsters escaped, and Yan Hui did everything she could to save them, rescuing all the monsters she could. As a result, there were now many monsters in the underground city. Tian Yao didn't understand why Yan Hui, a human, would be willing to help monsters so much. He was surprised to learn that Yan Hui had raised monsters and had seen them suffer from illness and torture, so he immediately used the spiritual power he had cultivated with great difficulty after finding the dragon bones to heal the monsters. The monsters were amazed to see their wounds heal quickly and looked eagerly at Tian Yao, kneeling down and calling him the Dragon Lord. They believed that with the return of the Dragon Lord, there was hope for the monsters.

Yan Hui saw that Tian Yao was forcefully treating the illnesses of the other demons, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. She privately expressed her concern for Tian Yao, urging him to take care of himself and his life, which she had saved several times before. Su Ying had already met Tian Yao, so Yan Hui felt there was no need to hide anything and took the initiative to cancel their contract as demon and servant, revealing Tian Yao's true identity. Tian Yao was grateful for Yan Hui's thoughtful gesture and promised to repay her kindness.

Yan Hui knew that her sea of consciousness was open but she had never gone inside to take a look, so she asked Tian Yao for help. Tian Yao focused his mind and closed his eyes as he approached Yan Hui's forehead. Yan Hui's heart started to beat rapidly and she couldn't help but wonder why, even though she had already dispelled the fox's charm. She instinctively moved backwards until Tian Yao opened his eyes with confusion. Yan Hui then knew that in order to enter her sea of consciousness, she had to press her forehead against his, and only then did she let go of her fanciful thoughts.

Yan Hui's sea of consciousness was protected by Heiyan Mountain Ren, and Tian Yao told her that this was a seal set by the Grandmaster. Only when Yan Hui's ability surpassed the Grandmaster's could it be unlocked. Yan Hui remembered that when she left the mountain, Ling Xiao had performed heart surgery on her, suspecting that it was Ling Xiao's doing, but he didn't say a word. When she learned that Su Ying had entered the ranks of the Grandmaster twenty years ago, she was determined to practice well.

Su Ying used the pill refined from the nine-tailed fox Yun Xi princess to awaken the memories of Lu Musheng, hoping he would take it. Lu Musheng hated Su Ying, who had used a life to refine the pill, and accused her of being a monster who couldn't distinguish between good and evil. This made Su Ying very sad, so she took Lu Musheng to see Yun Xi. At this time, Yun Xi was dirty and disheveled, and her mind was not very clear. When Lu Musheng hugged her, she bit him on the shoulder. Su Ying thought that Lu Musheng would be angry and disgusted with Yun Xi, but he just held Yun Xi tightly and talked about their home. Now that the pear blossoms have bloomed, Yun Xi's memories have been awakened. Yun Xi wanted to go home, and Lu Musheng promised to take her home. Su Ying, watching the warmth between the two, became angry and jealous. She waved her hand and made Yun Xi fall to the ground. Lu Musheng rushed towards Su Ying, wanting to strangle her, but Su Ying also made Lu Musheng pass out.

Upon learning about Yun Xi's situation, Xian Ge knew that the Qingqiu clan highly valued bloodline and was indebted to her. She wanted to spread the news but found all channels blocked. So she sought help from Feng Qianshuo. Xian Ge went to him only to learn from the Seven-string Chamber's shopkeeper that Feng Qianshuo had been taken away by Feng Ming. When Feng Qianshuo gave her his personal effects, Xian Ge knew that he was in danger and decided to rescue him.

Feng Ming wanted to take over the Seven Absolute Hall, so he captured Feng Qianshuo and tortured him until he was almost at his limit. Feng Qianshuo then found something his father had left behind, and couldn't help but regret that he didn't marry Xian Ge. Unexpectedly, he met Xian Ge when he escaped. Feng Qianshuo followed Xian Ge to the underground city, feeling uncomfortable seeing so many monsters, who also viewed him with great suspicion. Xian Ge advised Feng Qianshuo to see his own prejudice clearly when he questioned her about saving the monsters, and told him about her own life being abandoned by her parents and raised by monsters.

Yan Hui remembered how Ling Fei had searched everywhere for the nine-tailed fox in order to find out if Su Ying was involved. Tian Yao believed that Chenxing Mountain had conspired with Guanghan Men, but Yan Hui didn't believe that Ling Xiao was that kind of person, and they got into an argument. Bai Xiaosheng couldn't stand seeing Yan Hui and Tian Yao fighting, so he threatened them and told them to get along well and be in love, otherwise he would bring Su Ying to the underground city. Yan Hui knew she couldn't offend Bai Xiaosheng, so she immediately hugged Tian Yao and prevented him from offending Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng was pleased with this, but he also suspected that Yan Hui and Tian Yao were playing a trick on him and kept a close watch on them. Just as Yan Hui and Tian Yao were discussing important matters, Bai Xiaosheng came to check on them quietly. The two quickly covered themselves with a blanket and lay close together. Bai Xiaosheng was satisfied with what he saw and left. Yan Hui didn't understand why Bai Xiaosheng was so obsessed with having Tian Yao and her in love, but Tian Yao believed that Bai Xiaosheng must have had a big plan, otherwise he wouldn't have risked saving them from Su Ying's hands.
