The Last Immortal Episode 10 Recap
> The Last Immortal Recap
Gu Jin went to Hundred Birds Island for the feast, leaving A Yin alone in her room feeling upset. Hong Yi used magic to create a snowy scene to cheer her up. The two ventured out to find the Hidden Cloud Mountain but instead encountered Yan Shuang being pursued by the Peacock Clan. Hong Yi intervened in time to save Yan Shuang, making her heart flutter, once again misunderstanding him to be using charm techniques. Initially, A Yin believed the conflict between the two clans was mainly the fault of the Eagle Clan. However, when Yan Shuang revealed that Hua Shu deliberately distorted the truth, falsely accusing the Eagle Clan and manipulating them, A Yin realized they had all been deceived by Hua Shu's cunning. Initially, Hua Shu sought the assistance of Da Ze Mountain for the Sunshade Umbrella, accusing the Eagle Clan of causing disputes for nearly a century by trying to seize the Northern Sea cave paradise.
However, the truth was that members of the Eagle Clan with profound spiritual power had mysteriously disappeared in the past. Even elders were missing, leading to the Eagle King's anger. After an investigation, they found a trace of spiritual power near the Infinite Cave. However, the Infinite Cave belonged to the Peacock Clan, and when the Eagle King sought an explanation from the Peacock King, he was not only refused entry but also driven out of Hundred Birds Island. This refusal led to the Eagles directly delivering a declaration of war, igniting decades of unresolved conflicts. Throughout history, the two clans lived side by side in the Northern Sea. The truth of the century-old disputes between them was challenging to ascertain. However, in A Yin's eyes, Hua Shu's true reason for starting the war and blaming the Eagle Clan was despicable. After careful consideration, she decided to go to Hundred Birds Island with Yan Shuang and explain the situation to everyone.
On the other hand, unable to retrieve the Sunshade Umbrella, Gu Jin observed the actions of the Peacock King, growing suspicious. He unintentionally saw a magpie feather lamp in a maid's hand, recalling A Yin's words to him. It seemed A Yin's words were not unfounded. Qing Yi was unaware of Gu Jin's thoughts and, in a moment of impulsiveness, mentioned that the Peacock King accepted the marriage proposal. Gu Jin became anxious and, with Qing Yi's reminder, awakened to his true feelings for Hua Shu. Now that the Sunshade Umbrella had become Hua Shu's weapon, merging with her own source of immortal power, Gu Jin wanted to retrieve it. However, he knew that taking it back at this moment might lead to a confrontation. So, Hua Shu planned to use Emperor Lan Feng to resolve the matter. She met Emperor Lan Feng alone, subtly expressing her need for the Sunshade Umbrella and trying to win his sympathy.
Coincidentally, Gu Jin witnessed this scene and overheard their conversation. Distressed, he thought about the girl who had once saved him and realized the absurdity of his obsession over the past decade. Quietly, he left, unaware that Hua Shu had noticed his presence, smiling triumphantly. On the day of the Peacock King's birthday celebration, Hundred Birds Island was lively, with Emperor Lan Feng and various immortal lords in attendance. Gu Jin directly stated his purpose: to reclaim the Starlight Phoenix Crown and give the Sunshade Umbrella to Hua Shu, signaling his intention to sever ties with the Peacock Clan. The Peacock King showed displeasure, but Emperor Lan Feng stood up and requested the Peacock King to marry Hua Shu to him. The audience was surprised, realizing that if the Peacock Princess married the future Heavenly Emperor, it would be a tremendous honor, surpassing even the Phoenix Clan. Everyone congratulated them, but Gu Jin remained seated, calmly sipping the exquisite wine from Hundred Birds Island, his gaze passing over Emperor Lan Feng and Hua Shu with an unprecedented calmness.
At this moment, A Yin and Hong Yi, riding on a giant eagle, attempted to breach the barrier and enter Hundred Birds Island. Responding to Gu Jin's request, the Peacock King lifted the barrier, revealing a woman as the transformed giant eagle. She publicly disclosed the true reason for the disputes between the two clans. Emperor Lan Feng, maintaining justice, promised to let the Eagle Clan investigate the Infinite Cave. The Peacock King, not wanting to worsen relations, reluctantly agreed. Gu Jin realized he had been used by Hua Shu and, disappointed and angry, demanded a vow from the Peacock King not to engage in hostilities with the Eagle Clan within the next hundred years. If the Peacock King refused, he threatened to assist the Eagle Clan in drawing their swords for war. Seeing Gu Jin brandishing the Ancient Emperor Sword, the Peacock King felt some fear and had no choice but to agree.
Hua Shu had a maid fetch Gu Jin, explaining privately why she had refined the Sunshade Umbrella. Gu Jin disagreed with Hua Shu's actions but understood her difficulties in protecting her people. Considering her past kindness to him, he offered some advice without revealing her hypocrisy publicly. However, despite this, Hua Shu harbored murderous intent towards A Yin, vowing not to let a man she didn't want fall into someone else's hands.
On the way back, Gu Jin fell into contemplation, suspecting that he might have developed feelings for A Yin. Similarly, A Yin was worried that this would deeply impact Gu Jin and felt somewhat guilty. On the other hand, Hong Yi suggested they go to the You Ming Realm to find the Phoenix Essence to help them move on from the events on Hundred Birds Island. His plan involved using cow dung to attract a cart into the realm. During this time, A Yin developed feelings for Gu Jin, and due to the master-servant bond, she faced punishment. Hong Yi, aware of this, took special care to keep her away from Gu Jin. The three visited the You Ming King without success, but the guards directed them to Xiu Yan Tower, where they could meet the You Ming King if they could afford the price. However, the total amount of money they had was less than a hundred gold. To obtain the token from the Zhong Ling Palace, Gu Jin intentionally said some provocative words to anger Xiu Yan.
