Feud Episode 22 Recap: A Declaration of War and a Primordial Secret
This week, the heavens prepare for war as a devastating misunderstanding pushes the Divine Realm to the brink, while a quiet conversation reveals the true, shared origin of Li Qingyue and Bai Jiusi, a secret that underpins their entire conflict.
A Dangerous Glimpse into the Past
Bai Jiusi's Primordial Spirit once again detaches from his physical form, determined to uncover the truth by traveling back through time.
The Divine Realm's Ultimatum
Meanwhile, Long Yuan misinterprets the separation of Bai Jiusi's spirit as another act of imprisonment by Li Qingyue.The campaign is set to begin in five days. Li Qingyue, fully aware of the divine army massing against her, remains composed, simply ordering her disciples to await the enemy's arrival.
A Sect United
As news of the impending celestial war spreads, mortal sects and imperial courts send letters to the Jingyun Sect, desperate for information. In a bold move of transparency, Li Qingyue gathers her followers and reveals the full truth of the situation, granting every disciple the freedom to leave the sect without consequence.
However, the pressure affects everyone differently. The disciple Jiang Bian, after a failed attempt to get his parents to rescue him (his father dismissed his letter as nonsense), prepares to flee in secret. He is stopped by fellow disciples who, through clever provocation, successfully appeal to his pride and convince him to stay.
Whispers in the Shadows
As night falls, a few disciples do quietly depart from the sect, an act Li Qingyue observes but does not prevent.At the same time, Lv Suguan sees the crisis as an opportunity, urging Meng Chu to send Qu Xingman away for her own safety, a suggestion Meng Chu flatly refuses.
The Truth of a Shared Origin
Under the pretense of a drunken chat, Li Qingyue's master, Qing Yang, gently probes her about the true nature of her relationship with Bai Jiusi. Li Qingyue finally confesses the profound secret she has held for so long: she and Bai Jiusi are not ordinary beings. Both were born from the pure essence of the Hongmeng Father God, their spirits falling to earth in separate, distant lands—one in the Extreme North, the other in the territory of Jiyuan.
Despite being separated by thousands of miles, they could always sense each other's existence, a unique bond shared by no other beings. It was Li Qingyue who eventually sought out Bai Jiusi. She admits that upon seeing him for the first time, she fell in love instantly and swore an oath to stay by his side for all eternity.
