A Tiny Ji Ye for these Trying Times.

When Yi Tian Zhan shows Xi Yan his armoured arm and says it was left by his ancestors, bestowed by the late emperor and that it’s also a spirit-sealed weapon, my head cannon is: Even if he is of the Winged Tribe one of his ancestors was an Eagle and that’s how he also inherited his mindset (how he was inspired by the Eagle Flag as he says in EP 43) and wanted to convince the Winged Emperor to not be a tyrant. But he only got the weapon after having been banned and gone to East Land and not too long after the disaster in his homeland happened.

Baili Yin takes Yu Ran with him to the cave because he wants to settle the score between himself, Asule and Ji Ye. Also in the vision that shown him in regard to his father’s death, the grandfather of Ji Ye attacked Baili Yin’s father, thus he recognized the spear, which made him want to kill Ji Ye even more. He didn’t care if Yu Ran got hurt in the process (the price she would have to pay for being friends with his enemies). Also, he needed someone the stone guards would focus on, while he could approach the sword (which hadn’t yet awakened when he stepped towards it) without worry.

Then when he accused all of them of having the weapons of the Tianqi, it was in his madness of the Azure Cloud Tooth Sword and the feelings of his late father, seeing in them (or rather in Ji Ye’s spear) what his father had seen in the comrades that later betrayed him. Cause Yu Ran certainly didn’t have a weapon of the Eagles. Then again it would be interesting if he meant Ji Ye and Asule (the souls of the Azure Cloud Tooth Sword making him recognize the sabre and spear) – thus the sabre, Asule inherited thanks to his grandfather might have been a weapon of an Eagle, who had either married into the Northern Tribe or who had been killed by them and his weapon had been taken. The reason Yu Ran can’t escape Baili Jin’s grasp even though he is gravely injured is because he once again got rid of the pain by the sorcery of the Celestial Ministry – if he didn’t even already get healed by Lei Bi Cheng. And Baili Jin was a trained soldier while Yu Ran, while being very fast and full of tricks didn’t have the strength needed to break free.

You Changji survived the attack of his former Eagles but was wounded so badly that death was certain. In this state the sword no longer recognized him as its master and started to devour anyone too close to it (Eagles who followed You Changji into the Baili Ancenstral Grave).  In the Ancestral Grave he used his remaining power to seal himself and the sword (see Ep 8, 4:07)

Xi Yan actually throws the ring of You Changji, of the Eagle Flag leader into a river. Thus Asule’s ring, the new ring of the Eagle’s Leader is the one of his foster dad.

I don't think the ring of Asule's foster dad was ever a fingercot of the Eagles before, because they look different:

The foster dad's ring has a part standing up and it’s thinner than the fingercot. But I can't help but find this idea interesting~~~

Btw I'm calling the 'Heavenly Samurai' Eagles and their Order Eagle Flag. First read it in one of @dangermousie's posts...
