[Casual Chat] I watched a bizarre version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and suddenly realized that Huang Yaoshi, the “Eastern Heretic,” is actually the biological son of Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils!

What this episode is about

Tencent’s Mount Hua Tournament (the 2024 spin-off of The Legend of the Condor Heroes) was already crazy enough for stuffing in Xuzhu, the Eight Desolations and Six Directions, Only I Am Supreme Skill, and the eighth-generation leader of the Ming Cult. But what’s even crazier is that it flat-out writes Huang Yaoshi as the orthodox successor of the Carefree Sect. He’s in his thirties, yet reminisces about “things from a long time ago”; he takes Ouyang Feng out with a single move, and even Wang Chongyang can’t get within an inch of him…

Isn’t this basically spelling it out: Huang Yaoshi is Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan’s son?!

· Why is Huang Yaoshi so ridiculously “eclectic”?

· Why is Huang Yaoshi so “heretical”?

· Why is Huang Yaoshi so arrogant to the bone?

· At the end of the revised edition of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Wang Yuyan says she wants to “find immortality.” Turns out that was laying the groundwork for Huang Yaoshi all along.
