Love in Pavilion Episode 26

Jiang Juan Xue's hidden history as a Saintess from Yuyao Country is unveiled. She was coerced by Jia Lan's soul fragment into conceiving Dongfang Huai Zhu to serve as a vessel. To counteract this, Jiang Juan Xue cultivated the Xiwu Flower, intended to help Huai Zhu suppress a dangerous Black Fox soul fragment within her. After the group successfully retrieved the flower and navigated a tense standoff in Yuyao Country, Huai Zhu started the absorption process. Concurrently, the villainous Jin Ren Feng unleashed a future version of Jiu Huo, who then armed Anayan with the powerful Qi Xing Yuan Zhong (Seven Star Resentment Bell). Anayan swiftly used this power to assassinate King Daluo An and unleash a horde of resentful spirits. In a pivotal moment, Qingmu Yuan sacrificed herself by destroying the bell, which restored the heroes' spiritual abilities but also caused the spirits to run wild. Dongfang Huai Zhu then channeled the Xiwu Flower to purify these spirits, an act that severely drained her. Wangquan Hong Ye, however, ensured the Xiwu Flower was reconstituted to continue protecting Huai Zhu. (Source: tvrili.com)
