The shady start sets such a dark vibe! Watching the squad navigate the tower traps together is peak writing. Their bonds are literally being forged in fire. That ending fight with Jing Tian’s dual aura was absolute hype. I’m a nervous wreck, but I need more!

The tension inside the Demon Locking Tower is reaching a breaking point, and I am officially a nervous wreck. The way the group has to rely on each other’s unique strengths to navigate the traps is so well written, it really feels like their bonds are being forged in fire.

Episode Context

Coming off the Lock Demon Tower crisis in Episode 16, which saw Xu Changqing clash with the demon clan and left Xuejian injured, Episode 17 pushes the party deeper into Fengdu, shifting the season's focus toward urgent, rescue-driven supernatural travel. This episode sits at the heart of a high-pressure stretch that prioritizes mounting external threats over reflection. It feeds directly into Episode 18, where the pursuit involving Xuejian and Luo Rulie escalates further, keeping the season's pacing aggressive through this mid-run arc.
