Wei Wuxian and the others had no idea who the perpetrator was. Following Lan Wangji’s lead, they slowly turned around and saw Xue Yang perched on the roof. Dressed in black, Xue Yang wore a sinister smile and greeted them casually. Just then, a white-clad cultivator, Xiao Xingchen, descended from the sky — it was clear he had been pursuing Xue Yang all along.

Furious, Xiao Xingchen accused Xue Yang of slaughtering his fellow cultivators and vowed to capture him today, having failed in previous encounters. Xue Yang merely sneered disdainfully and suddenly leapt away, attempting to escape using his light-footwork technique. However, Wei Wuxian had anticipated this and quickly used spiritual threads to bind Xue Yang, causing him to fall heavily from the rooftop. Yet Xue Yang showed no fear; instead, he seemed amused.

He engaged in fierce combat with Xiao Xingchen while Wei Wuxian assisted from the side. Wei Wuxian used a talisman called "Wu Yi" to temporarily subdue Xue Yang. However, Xue Yang was extremely cunning and unleashed a technique called "Qian Kun Sleeve," attempting to kill someone in the chaos. Fortunately, Song Lan, another cultivator, arrived just in time and helped restrain Xue Yang. Xiao Xingchen informed everyone that Xue Yang was behind the recent massacres of several cultivation clans.

Although Xue Yang was young, his crimes were already notorious. Lan Wangji suspected Xue Yang was in possession of the Yin Iron and demanded he hand it over. Wei Wuxian even searched Xue Yang’s body but found nothing. The group suspected that Xue Yang had hidden the Yin Iron somewhere within the Chang residence, so they split up to search, but their efforts were in vain.

Wei Wuxian questioned whether Wen Ruohan was behind Xue Yang's actions, but Xue Yang denied working for the Wen Clan, claiming everything he did was purely out of personal vendetta. At that moment, Nie Huaisang and Meng Yao arrived, informing everyone that Jin Guangshan had received a secret letter from Lan Xichen, requesting Lan Wangji to visit Qinghe. The group decided to accompany Lan Wangji to Qinghe, while Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan prepared to part ways.

Before leaving, Wei Wuxian learned that Xiao Xingchen was a disciple of Baoshan Sanren. Delighted, Wei Wuxian eagerly asked about her whereabouts, but Xiao Xingchen explained that his master roamed the world, and he himself had never met Cangse Sanren. Disappointed, Wei Wuxian could only watch as Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan walked away.

Meng Yao led the group to Unclean Realm and informed them that Wen Ruohan had recently sent envoys demanding that all prominent cultivation clans send their direct disciples to Qishan to receive "teachings. " Otherwise, Wen Ruohan would send people to "invite" them forcibly. This terrified Nie Huaisang, as he was the only direct disciple of the Nie Clan, and he dreaded becoming a hostage. Just then, Nie Mingjue, the formidable and authoritative head of the Nie Clan, emerged.

His imposing presence commanded natural respect, causing everyone to marvel. Nie Huaisang, who was always fearful of his older brother, instantly lowered his head in apprehension. Upon learning of Xue Yang’s crimes, Nie Mingjue immediately wanted to execute him on the spot. However, Wei Wuxian quickly stepped in to stop him, and Meng Yao also persuaded him to keep Xue Yang alive to extract the location of the Yin Iron.

Listening to Meng Yao’s advice, Nie Mingjue relented and ordered Xue Yang to be imprisoned in the dungeon. Later, when Meng Yao went to instruct the dungeon master to guard Xue Yang closely, he was met with insults. The dungeon master scornfully called Meng Yao a "prostitute's son," mocking his background. Meanwhile, the group discussed Xue Yang's background.

Wei Wuxian suspected he might be a descendant of Xue Zhonghai, but what was clear was that the Wen Clan was determined to get their hands on the Yin Iron, making a major conflict between the cultivation clans and the Wen Clan inevitable. That night, Wei Wuxian lay on the roof of Lan Wangji’s room, drinking wine and casually dozing off, unaware that Lan Wangji had already departed.

The following morning, Wen Chao suddenly arrived with his men, demanding that the Nie Clan hand over both Xue Yang and the Yin Iron. Nie Mingjue firmly refused, and a battle was about to break out. Meng Yao, who had gone to check the dungeon, failed to return, and soon news spread that Xue Yang had escaped. Alarmed, Nie Mingjue rushed to the dungeon and witnessed Xue Yang stabbing the dungeon master in the chest.

Meng Yao, standing to the side, nervously explained that Xue Yang had killed the dungeon master, but Nie Mingjue struggled to believe it. In his anger, Nie Mingjue approached Meng Yao aggressively, unaware that someone was about to ambush him from behind. Seeing this, Meng Yao instinctively shielded Nie Mingjue, but despite his efforts, Nie Mingjue was heavily struck by Wen Chao and spat out blood.

Wei Wuxian and the others quickly rushed over to support Nie Mingjue and sternly warned Wen Chao not to overstep his bounds, as they were still within the Nie Clan’s territory. However, Wen Chao remained arrogant and revealed that his elder brother, Wen Xu, had already led an army to slaughter the Gusu Lan Clan. Even if Lan Wangji rushed back to Gusu, he would only find a burned-down Cloud Recesses. Having said that, Wen Chao left triumphantly.

Severely injured, Nie Mingjue returned to his chamber and summoned Meng Yao. It was then that Meng Yao admitted to killing the dungeon master. He revealed that the dungeon master had frequently robbed him of his battle credits and even deliberately released Xue Yang while simultaneously insulting his mother as a "prostitute. " Overcome with grief and anger, Meng Yao killed him.

Nie Mingjue was torn — he wished to execute Meng Yao for his crime but found himself unable to do so. In the end, he ordered Meng Yao to leave the Nie Clan and go wherever he wished, as long as he never returned.
