In the torrential rain, Wei Wuxian's emotions were on the verge of collapse. Back then, he had hoped to eradicate evil alongside Lan Wangji, but now, the world had changed, and the lines between right and wrong had become blurred. Was this truly the promise they had sworn to uphold?

At this moment, Wei Wuxian only hated himself for not stopping the Jin clan from using living people as bait earlier; otherwise, Wen Ning would not have ended up like this. Holding Chenqing, Wei Wuxian let the rain mix with his tears and fall together. If a battle was inevitable in the future, he would rather die at Lan Wangji’s hands, with no regrets, having lived his life to the fullest.

Lan Wangji knew he was powerless to convince Wei Wuxian, so he could only let him go. Thus, Lan Wangji watched as Wei Wuxian’s figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. His heart was filled with complex emotions as he threw away his umbrella, allowing the rain to wash over him. Wei Wuxian led the remaining elderly, women, and children of the Wen clan to the Burial Mounds, intending to settle there.

Meanwhile, Lan Wangji returned to the Jin clan, where the clan leaders of various families sat upright, waiting to hear Jin Guangyao recount Wei Wuxian's actions. Jin Guangyao declared loudly that Wei Wuxian had turned Wen Ning into a puppet at Qiongqi Path, gone on a killing spree, murdered the overseers, and secretly harbored the remnants of the Wen clan at the Burial Mounds.

He had even set up multiple barriers at the foot of the mountain to prevent the Jin clan from entering. Jiang Cheng felt humiliated and immediately stood up to apologize to the Lanling Jin clan on Wei Wuxian’s behalf. However, Jin Guangshan refused to let it go. The overseers had come from various clans; how could they tolerate such a massacre?

Jiang Cheng argued desperately, saying that the Wen siblings had once shown kindness to the Jiang clan, which was why Wei Wuxian spared them. Lan Xichen also agreed, pointing out that during the Sunshot Campaign, the Wen siblings had never participated in any massacres and could still be considered good people. Even so, the clan leaders present refused to relent, all shouting that every last member of the Wen clan deserved to die.

With ulterior motives, Jin Guangshan began to sow discord, claiming that Wei Wuxian had been disrespectful to Jiang Cheng. The other clan leaders chimed in, asserting that Jin Guangshan had only meant well by offering to safeguard the Yin Tiger Tally, but Wei Wuxian, harboring a petty mindset, suspected others of coveting his treasure—it was truly laughable. At this moment, Lan Wangji finally lost his patience.

He coldly refuted them, stating that he had never once heard Wei Wuxian speak disrespectfully of Jiang Cheng. Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jin Guangyao quickly stepped in to mediate, yet the others remained indignant, condemning Wei Wuxian for abandoning the sword path in favor of practicing an evil and unorthodox way. With a grim expression, Jin Zixun accused Wei Wuxian of indiscriminately killing innocents for the sake of a few Wen clan members.

Mianmian could no longer bear to listen and bravely spoke up in Wei Wuxian’s defense. She argued that the Sunshot Campaign was a battlefield—if killing during war was considered indiscriminate slaughter, then wasn’t everyone guilty? As for the present matter, if the overseers had indeed harmed Wen Ning, then Wei Wuxian was merely upholding justice and could not be accused of killing without cause. Her words stirred a great commotion, provoking heated rebuttals from the clan leaders.

Mianmian stood her ground, countering with sound reasoning, but the overseers, desperate to evade responsibility, naturally insisted that they had not harmed Wen Ning. However, the clan leaders continued to bully her with their authority, twisting logic to their favor. Disgusted by their hypocrisy, Mianmian refused to be associated with them any longer. In a fit of anger, she removed her Jin clan belt and announced on the spot that she was severing ties with the clan before storming out.

Jin Guangshan’s accusations became increasingly outrageous, claiming that Wei Wuxian intended to establish his own faction. He then incited Jiang Cheng to deal with Wei Wuxian. Left with no choice, Jiang Cheng had to promise to give everyone an explanation and vowed to retrieve the Yin Tiger Tally. Meanwhile, Lan Wangji returned to the Cloud Recesses and was scolded by Lan Qiren for sneaking into the Library Pavilion and secretly helping Wei Wuxian escape.

Lan Qiren told Lan Wangji that, as his uncle, he had always been strict with him, hoping he would excel and not repeat the mistakes of his father. Lan Wangji's expression turned solemn—he knew his uncle was truly angry this time. Outside Jiang Yanli’s door, Jin Zixuan paced anxiously. When Jiang Yanli stepped out, she said that she would be leaving with Jiang Cheng the next day.

Panicked, Jin Zixuan, who was deeply in love with her, pleaded for her to stay in Koi Tower so that he could take care of her for the rest of his life. At the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian watched over Wen Ning, whose eyes remained tightly shut, his entire body covered in talismans. Wen Qing entered with food, and Wei Wuxian told her that Wen Ning could now hear sounds—they could try calling out to him.

Wei Wuxian led the Wen clan members in farming. The young Wen Yuan clung to Wei Wuxian and refused to let go. Wei Wuxian playfully scared him, threatening to plant him like a radish. However, Wen Yuan was unafraid and instead plopped himself into a dirt pit, imagining that if he were planted, he would sprout many little brothers and sisters. At this moment, Jiang Cheng arrived at the Burial Mounds with his men.

Using Zidian, he broke through the barrier and entered alone, only to witness Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing leading the people in farming. It was then that Jiang Cheng realized that Wei Wuxian had no intention of establishing his own sect—he merely wanted to provide a home for the surviving members of the Wen clan. Jiang Cheng followed Wei Wuxian into the cave within the Burial Mounds and saw Wen Ning, whose appearance had changed drastically.

Wei Wuxian explained that Wen Ning had lost part of his spiritual consciousness to the Dancing Goddess when he was young, making him a rare target for luring evil spirits. That day, when Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing found him, he had already been possessed by malevolent forces, his spiritual veins severed, with only a sliver of life remaining.

Initially, Wei Wuxian had intended to use the power of the Yin Tiger Tally to awaken Wen Ning and punish the Jin clan, but unexpectedly, he turned Wen Ning into a puppet, causing him to slaughter indiscriminately. Moreover, Wen Ning had always been timid and reserved in life, burying all his emotions deep within. After losing his mind, all his suppressed anger, restlessness, and fear surfaced. Now, Wei Wuxian wanted to awaken Wen Ning’s consciousness. Jiang Cheng found this utterly absurd and completely incomprehensible.
