The Untamed Episode 31 Recap
> The Untamed Recap
With the efforts of Wei Wuxian and the others, the Burial Mounds became full of life, and they successfully grew lotuses and lotus roots. Wei Wuxian carefully told Wen Yuan that the lotus seeds grown in the Burial Mounds were excellent protective talismans that ward off evil and should be worn, but must never be eaten. At this moment, Wei Wuxian was both surprised and delighted to receive an invitation from the Jin clan.
Learning that he could attend Jin Ling’s full-moon banquet and see his senior sister, he was overjoyed. Meanwhile, rumors about the Lanling Jin clan spread like wildfire among the common folk. People were discussing how the Jin clan was building a watchtower and how the newborn young master, Jin Ling, was extraordinary from birth, with a prestigious background. They speculated that this full-moon ceremony would be held with great extravagance.
As people gossiped, someone mysteriously revealed that Wei Wuxian had also received an invitation and would be attending the banquet. At this, everyone shook their heads, believing that Wei Wuxian was a villain who should never have been invited. No one realized that the so-called Yiling Patriarch was right nearby, buying a pendant as a gift for Jin Ling. Wei Wuxian held up the pendant, while Wen Ning praised it repeatedly.
However, Wei Wuxian merely smiled—this was just a small trinket. His true gift for Jin Ling was a powerful string of prayer beads. As long as Jin Ling wore them, they would protect him from low-level demons and ghosts. Thus, Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning chatted happily as they set off for Lanling. Unexpectedly, when passing through Qiongqi Path, they were suddenly surrounded by Jin Zixun and his men.
Jin Zixun was furious, demanding that Wei Wuxian remove the curse from him. Wei Wuxian was baffled. Jin Zixun tore open his robes, revealing his chest covered in dense, horrifying blood wounds—clear signs of the vicious curse "Thousand Gaping Wounds. " It turned out that Jin Zixun had somehow been cursed and immediately assumed that Wei Wuxian was responsible. Naturally, Wei Wuxian refused to admit to such baseless accusations.
Enraged, Jin Zixun ordered his men to fire arrows and kill Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian remained unafraid—not only because he had Chenqing but also because Wen Ning was by his side. Wen Ning yanked off the talisman restricting him, let out a fierce roar, and transformed into the terrifying Ghost General. He lifted a massive rock as a shield for Wei Wuxian and then charged into battle against Jin Zixun’s men. They were no match for him.
Seeing Wei Wuxian alone, Jin Zixun lunged at him with his sword and even snatched away the gift meant for Jin Ling. Just as the two were about to clash, Jin Zixuan suddenly descended from the sky to stop them. It turned out that Jin Guangyao had informed Jin Zixuan of the situation, prompting him to intervene. Jin Zixuan sternly rebuked Jin Zixun for his recklessness.
"Thousand Gaping Wounds" might not have been caused by Wei Wuxian, and besides, it was Jin Zixuan himself who had invited Wei Wuxian to the banquet. If Jin Zixun acted so outrageously, where would that leave him and Jiang Yanli? However, Jin Zixun remained unrepentant, spewing slander, claiming that anyone associated with Wei Wuxian would be tainted. As he spoke, he deliberately crushed the string of prayer beads Wei Wuxian had prepared for Jin Ling.
Seeing his carefully crafted gift destroyed, Wei Wuxian could no longer tolerate it—he decided Jin Zixun was beyond forgiveness. Jin Zixuan tried to mediate, urging Wei Wuxian to have Wen Ning stand down so they could resolve the matter peacefully at Jinlintai. Wei Wuxian sneered—if Wen Ning withdrew, he would immediately be riddled with arrows and die without a corpse left behind.
Besides, Jin Zixuan had invited him to the banquet—was he truly unaware that Jin Zixun had planned an ambush? Jin Zixuan was at a loss for words. He genuinely had not known about Jin Zixun’s reckless actions. But Wei Wuxian no longer listened—he began to play Chenqing, commanding Wen Ning to deal with the detestable Jin Zixun. Jin Zixuan stepped in front of Wei Wuxian, continuing to plead for peace. However, in a horrifying twist, Wen Ning lost control.
Mistaking Jin Zixuan for a threat to Wei Wuxian, he suddenly thrust his hand into Jin Zixuan’s chest, ripping out his heart. Poor Jin Zixuan fell in his final moments, still thinking of Jiang Yanli. Wei Wuxian was struck with horror, while Jin Zixun staggered backward in fear. Wen Ning grabbed him by the throat and killed him as well.
At that moment, Jiang Yanli was cradling Jin Ling, still eagerly awaiting the return of Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixuan—only to receive the devastating news of Jin Zixuan’s death at Wen Ning’s hands. Overcome with grief, she was inconsolable, and the entire clan was left in shock. Wei Wuxian fainted from the blow, and Wen Ning carried him back to the Burial Mounds. In his hazy consciousness, Wei Wuxian struggled to wake up.
When he finally managed to open his eyes, he saw Wen Ning kneeling timidly beside him. Wen Ning had regained his clarity and was now fully aware of the irreparable mistake he had made. Wei Wuxian, overcome with rage, kicked Wen Ning away and grabbed him by the collar, shouting furiously, "Now that you’ve killed Jin Zixuan, what about my senior sister? What about Jin Ling? And what about me? "Wen Ning was filled with regret, but the deed was done.
Tears streamed down Wei Wuxian’s face as he crumbled, utterly lost as to what to do. At that moment, Wen Qing used a needle to inject Wei Wuxian with a paralyzing agent, rendering him immobile. As he collapsed, Wen Qing spoke calmly, "In the days you were unconscious, the Jin clan sent a message—they will spare you if we turn ourselves in. So I have decided to take Wen Ning to Jinlintai to face judgment. "Wei Wuxian struggled in agony.
He had never cursed Jin Zixun. Anyone who cast such a curse would suffer a backlash—if they could find the afflicted person, the truth would be revealed. Moreover, he had been the one controlling Wen Ning; if anyone had to face judgment, it should be him, not Wen Ning! Wen Qing shook her head. "The truth no longer matters. This paralyzing agent will wear off in three days. By then, it will all be over.
"Wei Wuxian tried to protest, but Wen Qing cast a spell on his forehead, lulling him into a deep sleep. With tears in her eyes, she whispered, "I’m sorry. . . and thank you. "Wen Qing and Wen Ning stepped out of the house. The remaining members of the Wen clan gathered around them, all volunteering to accompany them to Jinlintai to face their fate. Thus, the elderly and young alike journeyed to Lanling.
Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao stood coldly, ordering their disciples to surround them, determined to exterminate them all to avenge Jin Zixuan. Wen Qing held Wen Ning’s hand—whatever awaited them, they deserved it. To have lived this long, to have spent happy days in the Burial Mounds, was already a blessing. Meanwhile, Jiang Yanli, clad in mourning attire, knelt before Jin Zixuan’s memorial tablet, holding Jin Ling in her arms.
Her face was pale, and she looked like a lifeless shell. Three days later, Wei Wuxian finally awoke. Staggering out of the house, he found the Burial Mounds completely empty. The laughter and warmth that had once filled the place had vanished without a trace.
