Ming Xuan says goodbye. ZhaoYao tells him she will definitely come to see him. With a description Li ChenLan/the Demon King's son, from MingXuan, the immortal sects search for and capture Li ChenLan. MingXuan, still needing to heal more, cannot go, but urges them to execute Li Chenlan/the Demon King's son asap. Qin Qian Xian/of the Thousand Dust Pavilion struggles with his conscience, about killing someone that has not done any evil acts. Qian Xian's master seems to know of some future bad fate he has with Zhao Yao.
Meanwhile Grandpa, although worried, agrees to letting ZhaoYao leave the seal, when she is strong enough to break it, herself. Once she is out, she quickly hears about the upcoming execution of the Demon King's son. She decides to save him.
Zhao Yao defeats all the strongest of the immortal sects present, to take him away. A few honorable of the immortal sects step in, to make she is allowed to leave with him, as promised. However, advises her that she is choosing evil's side. Then tells her, if she insists on taking him, after today, the two of them will be hunted down. Without fear, she chooses to take him with her.

The Legends Episode 2 Reactions
Its usually see in this type of drama the figure of a hero man (or immortal/demon, in this case) that saves the lady in danger, but happens the contrary in this episode, that marcs the first encounter of the two lovers, for me this is a great point. Now, about the immortal sects, why this characters that thinks they are the representation of the good side always make bad things?

So it's obvious the betrayal/tragedy drama is getting super setup. Though I'm still waiting on word of what happened to Zhao Yao's mom in the past. Clearly everyone is dead except for Zhao Yao and her grandfather. Who, points to him let Zhao Yao achieve her own dreams. Though I'm still wondering if Grandfather just pretended he didn't know that Demon Son—Mo Qing, until he gets a new name!—escaped or he genuinely didn't know. I guess since he couldn't enter the mountain he didn't know. That feels unlikely since he said his clans fate was done. So . . .
Now let us talk about how badass Zhao Yao was! Using what Luo Ming Xuan—you know the pretty face/Golden Diety—told her it sounds like the poor Demon Son is being unjustly killed. Luo Ming Xuan can't see that at all, but Zhao Yao truly believes it. My girl is not only badass in morals, but in her fight skills as she took on all those supposedly "good sect" guys and squashed them. She was injured, but she won. Which makes it awesome. True the fight scenes were not the best I've seen in a Wuxia, but they were decent and definitely felt real with both sides taking damage.
Which leads to me wondering why Zhao Yao is not getting more attention. This girl trained and became a killer warrior who fights for good. Has a fabulous personality and totally saved the male lead Mo Qing. She actually takes on the role of the savior and many role reversal parts ensue. (Though it annoys me to call them that.) I loved the adorable head pat she gives Mo Qing after she gives him a name! Not to mention all the other "role reversal" parts that just feel so natural with Zhao Yoa as our leading lady! Well done.
That said Mo Qing, much like Luo Ming Xuan, can't help but be swayed by Zhao Yao. Though I feel like Mo Qing is definitely romantic. Where Luo Ming Xuan feelings might still be up in the air. Such as he might just think of her as a sweet student to mold or something. Either way how can anyone resist.
An interesting setup is that the one student with the dot on his forehead from Ash Tower thought what they were doing to the Demon Son was wrong. Then his master is trying to keep him away from a certain maiden. I assume Zhao Yao. Interesting, interesting.
This is a pretty solid build up episode. I love this cliffhanger as well. With Zhao Yao seeking Luo Ming Xuan out. There was a good traveling montage and Mo Qing pining away after her. She's reached her destination and I love the surprise from the guards when she pronounces who she is and that she's there to speak to Luo Ming Xuan! The epic build up is awesome!
