"Destiny and Saving" Episode 30: Recap & Spoilers
Things are getting wild in the world of "Destiny and Saving"! Let's break down all the drama from Episode 30.
Mo Xiao, ever the devoted one, rushes the seriously injured Feng Lixue back to heal her with his powers. Feng Lixue, bless her heart, is still hung up on clearing her name, desperate to prove she's not in league with the demonic cult. She keeps trying to explain, only to collapse again in Mo Xiao's arms. Talk about bad timing! Chong Guang happens to witness this tender moment, and let's just say, his eyes are flashing with some serious murderous intent. Uh oh.
Meanwhile, Lu Jianchuan is still messing around with that Soul Crossing spell. Some Shushan disciples catch him in the act, and he freaks out, killing them to keep his secret safe. Then, naturally, he bolts from the scene. Smooth, Lu Jianchuan, real smooth.
Feng Lixue wakes up calling for Mo Xiao, but he's nowhere to be found. Xie Lingyun and Murong Jing are planning to go find Mo Xiao, but they learn that he and Murong Ce have already headed back to Shushan. Back in Fengdu City, the gossip is actually starting to swing in Feng Lixue's favor! People are finally starting to believe in her sacrifices and realize she's nothing like her father. Murong Jing and Xie Lingyun are happy to hear it. Xuyuan Yunchao is lurking around, secretly following Xie Lingyun, trying to figure out if he has the Tianmo (Celestial Demon) mark. He's trying to figure out if Xie Lingyun is his long lost brother.
Speaking of Xie Lingyun, he sees that Murong Jing is tired, so he playfully pulls her along. Suddenly, Xuyuan Yunchao barrels down a hill and crashes right into them! Xuyuan Yunchao gropes around Xie Lingyun's chest (awkward!) but doesn't find any demonic energy. He figures the Immortal Sects must have sealed it off. Xie Lingyun just thinks he's a clumsy weirdo and doesn't give it a second thought.
The bigwigs of the Immortal Sects are having a pow-wow, discussing Feng Lixue's sacrifices. Murong Jing arrives and vouches for her, pointing out that she's risked her life twice to protect everyone. Then, BAM! News arrives that a Shushan disciple, Shao Chu, has been found dead in the backyard. They quickly realize he was killed by demonic powers, and they suspect the demonic cult is making a move against Shushan. They're also worried that Chong Guang won't stop until he gets his hands on the third demon stone. So, they decide the Immortal Sects need to find and destroy the third stone to stop Chong Guang from restoring the Tianmo Order.
To find the stone, they need to use the Tianxing Formation. But to activate it, they need Feng Lixue's permission to open the Tianxing Sect and return the Tianxing Seal to her. Mo Xiao steps up and agrees to the plan, but he has one condition: he has to be the one to activate the Tianxing Formation. Everyone agrees. Murong Jing and Xie Lingyun are sent to tell Feng Lixue about the plan. Feng Lixue is hesitant, worried something will go wrong. Murong Jing reassures her that everyone's in agreement, and no one will blame her if things go sideways. Finally, she agrees.
Xie Lingyun suggests they check out Guiyin House while they're in the area, since Murong Ce came before but didn't find anything. Murong Jing teases Xie Lingyun, accusing him of being jealous of Mo Xiao and Murong Ce's closeness. But she agrees to go with him anyway.
At Guiyin House, Murong Jing finds a hidden compartment under a table, but it's empty. She suspects the evidence was destroyed. Suddenly, she spots a shadowy figure and chases after them, but they vanish. Murong Jing stops Xie Lingyun from pursuing, looking disturbed, and says they need to talk to Mo Xiao before doing anything else.
Murong Jing realizes something she saw is familiar. She sneaks off and checks Murong Changfeng's room, looking for something, but it's gone. Murong Changfeng walks in and asks what she's looking for, and she nervously runs off. She bumps into Murong Changfeng outside, who senses something is up, but she doesn't say anything.
Murong Ce visits Murong Changfeng, wanting to investigate the Shadow Assassins. He tells Murong Changfeng he encountered a Shadow Assassin in Fengdu City who seemed familiar. Murong Changfeng asks a few casual questions and then asks Murong Ce to help him organize his books. Suspicious!
Chang Ming informs Chong Guang that Feng Lixue is going to activate the Tianxing Formation the next day, but Chong Guang doesn't react. What is he planning?
Feng Lixue, along with Gu Bai and Poyun, arrives at the Tianxing Formation and sees Mo Xiao. They exchange smiles, and Feng Lixue is happy, thinking she can finally live in the light. Mo Xiao announces that the Tianxing Sect is now part of the righteous path and returns the Tianxing Seal to Feng Lixue. She activates the Tianxing Formation, and everyone watches as the Tianxing Seal rises into the air, waiting for it to reveal the location of the Shura Demon Stone. But plot twist! The stone is inside the Tianxing Seal! Chong Guang suddenly appears and attacks the Immortal Sects disciples, thanking Feng Lixue sarcastically.
Mo Xiao, feeling betrayed, accuses Feng Lixue of lying to him. Enraged, he flies into the air to fight Chong Guang. Zisu, also furious at Feng Lixue's deception, stabs her with a sword. Poyun sacrifices himself to protect Feng Lixue and is killed. Zimu and Zifeng try to attack Feng Lixue, but she defeats them. Zisu attacks Feng Lixue again, but Chong Guang intervenes, killing Zisu. Mo Xiao is devastated and suddenly starts emitting demonic energy. Chong Guang seizes the opportunity and takes all three demon stones. Murong Changfeng accuses Mo Xiao of colluding with the demonic cult and losing the stones. Chong Guang then takes Feng Lixue and the three demon stones with him. Mo Xiao collapses.
Feng Lixue wakes up furious and wants to go after Chong Guang, but Zi Ying stops her. Zi Ying is aggressive, and Feng Lixue almost kills her. Chong Guang arrives and stops her, wanting her to stay and enjoy her "glory." He knocks her unconscious and carries her away, ignoring Zi Ying's suggestion to imprison her in the Demon Prison.
Xuan Qing is healing Mo Xiao, but Mo Xiao is haunted by the deaths of the Shushan disciples and starts showing demonic tendencies again. Xuan Qing tries to suppress it with his spiritual power. Then, he's called away to a meeting where the other Immortal Sects leaders are blaming Mo Xiao for everything. Murong Ce and Xie Lingyun defend Mo Xiao, pointing out that he's always acted in everyone's best interest and that opening the Tianxing Formation was a collective decision. But the blame is all being placed on Mo Xiao.
