The following is a semi recap plus review plus opinion on the specific episodes, emphasising more on the review than the recap. Spoilers alert and highly opinionated. Read at your peril.
You have always favoured Hua Qiangu. But I never thought you would favour her this much! You are not worthy to become Changliu's sect leader!! - NMT
For once, I understand NMT's anger, coming from NMT and looking from the perspective of NMT. After all, she didn't blindly accused HQG of killing her father, she had eyewitnesses who told her so. Therefore her anger at BZH who was clearly protecting HQG even when he himself questioned the facts is understandable. However NMT is always ready to blame HQG for everything. Wait till the next episode; she will have another reason to blame HQG.
This episode seems like an interesting one that could have benefited from being longer instead of just touch and go. After all, this is the start of the end for HQG. Here she will risk her life and that of her friends to gather all 9 Magical Deity Items to summon the 10th that will save BZH, except BZH must not know, and since no one is supposed to know, means everyone does know. However, the pacing is horrendous. For me it is too fast and some short moments focusing on Shuo Feng which ordinarily would have been wonderful addition except it seems a little too late to inject some story for Shuo Feng whose greatest sacrifice deserves a story but not a 10 minute sort of bonding time with HQG. Perhaps the series' incessant need to tie every character to either loving or hating HQG therefore bonding or swearing eternal hatred is to me forcing it. In this sense, I don't really need to know that much about Shuo Feng and mind you, in the end I know nothing. That's how pointless the whole exercise is.
Let's start with probably one of the very last time you shall see this poisoned state #6...
BZH has spent 6 episodes looking and feeling sick to sicker to sickerer to sickererer to sickerererer to sickerererest. Thank god it is ending because I can't stand it anymore. Because the sicker he is the more sentimental he is the more he looks at flowers and eventually crying over bottles of blood and all, it ain't BZH. It's Madam BZH and even HQG doesn't look so depressed as much. I love you BZH but I've had it with your moping sad look. The worst, absolute worst is for past 5 episodes, he has been planning his funeral by leaving wishes and last messages to SXM and even ZX and HQG and now in the 6th episode of his poisoned state, he goes one step further; he will leave Changliu to find his own lasting resting place and then maybe dig himself a hole, nail himself inside a coffin, bury himself and just be left alone to die in peace, the way he wants it for the past 6 episodes. Problem is, as soon as he said so, problem arises,
What problem you ask? What else that could raise the moping depressed dying poisoned immortal with a death wish from his moping depressed dying poisoned state?
Three words; Hua Qian Gu.
Let's recap. It's a short one, by my standard.
