Wen Ning was constantly pestered by mischievous children at the marketplace, so Wei Wuxian told him to return to the inn and rest while he and Lan Wangji headed to the address listed on Jin Guangyao’s land deed. To their surprise, the place Jin Guangyao had purchased turned out to be a Guanyin Temple. The temple was bustling with people, incense offerings were abundant, and the worshippers came in an endless stream.

As they entered the temple, Lan Wangji immediately noticed the presence of an array—a complex one at that—seemingly suppressing something. According to the monks in the temple, the roof was under renovation, and the temple would be closed for three days. Wei Wuxian scrutinized the so-called monks, his heart brimming with questions. Generally, temples were built in tranquil mountain forests, yet this Guanyin Temple stood in the middle of a noisy city.

Moreover, the monks here had not even taken their vows—it was all too suspicious. That night, when all was silent, Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and Wen Ning sneaked into the temple to investigate, only to discover a barrier set in place. Wei Wuxian instructed Wen Ning to stay outside as backup while he and Lan Wangji leaped over the wall. To their shock, they saw a group of Jin Clan disciples fully armed and ready, with Lan Xichen among them.

As Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were still reeling from surprise, Jin Ling approached with Fairy, his spirit dog. The Jin disciples immediately tightened their bows, prepared to unleash a rain of arrows the moment Jin Ling broke through the temple gates. Lan Xichen furrowed his brows and sternly instructed the disciples not to harm Jin Ling. Jin Ling knocked on the temple door, but no one answered. Determined, he struggled to climb the wall, intending to jump inside.

However, as soon as he reached the top, he was met with countless arrows aimed directly at him. In the crucial moment, Wei Wuxian threw out his flute to block the arrows, allowing Jin Ling to escape. Unfortunately, this exposed both Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, forcing them to storm into the temple and engage in battle. However, Jin Guangyao had anticipated this.

In the blink of an eye, he used a thin strand of guqin string to tighten around Wei Wuxian’s throat. With Jin Guangyao holding him hostage, Wei Wuxian had no choice but to retreat step by step, while Lan Wangji dared not act rashly. At this moment, Lan Xichen stepped forward helplessly, admitting with shame that he had misjudged Jin Guangyao and fallen into his trap, resulting in the loss of his spiritual energy and rendering him powerless to help.

Jin Guangyao smirked cunningly and turned to question Wei Wuxian on how he had found this place. Upon learning that it was through the land deed, his expression darkened into a chilling smile. If he had known this would happen, he should have stored the land deed separately from Nie Mingjue’s head to prevent any future trouble. Hearing this, Lan Xichen’s gaze darkened. He could no longer deceive himself—Nie Mingjue had indeed been murdered by Jin Guangyao.

Jin Guangyao ordered his men to capture Jin Ling and commanded them to hunt down Fairy, lest the spirit dog bring others to their location. Jin Ling stared at Jin Guangyao in horror, unable to believe that the uncle he had respected since childhood could be so terrifying. Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, was curious about what treasure was hidden in the temple, but Jin Guangyao ignored him and instead ordered his men to dig faster.

Lan Wangji attempted to seize the opportunity while Jin Guangyao was distracted to rescue Wei Wuxian, but he ultimately failed. Instead, Jin Guangyao forced Lan Wangji to sheath his sword and seal his own spiritual veins. At that moment, the sky roared with thunder, and Jin Guangyao led his people inside the temple to take shelter from the rain. His usual gentle smile remained, but under the eerie light, it seemed all the more chilling.

With Lan Wangji’s spiritual veins sealed, he was no longer a threat to Jin Guangyao, who simply left him with Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian was deeply moved by Lan Wangji’s earlier actions, but Lan Wangji merely responded calmly, saying that he had not done it out of guilt but because it was simply the right thing to do. Soon, Su She arrived at the Guanyin Temple, dragging an unconscious Nie Huaisang with him.

He claimed that he had encountered Nie Huaisang along the way and had brought him as a hostage. Lan Xichen questioned Jin Guangyao with grief, asking why he would even target Nie Huaisang. Jin Guangyao replied leisurely, saying that having another clan leader in his grasp would tip the scales further in his favor. Once everything was settled, he would naturally release Nie Huaisang.

Lan Xichen stared at Jin Guangyao, now fully aware that he could no longer trust a single word from him. Su She then leisurely strolled over to where Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were being held. Mocking their downfall, he even raised his sword, intending to kill Wei Wuxian. Just as the situation turned critical, a commotion erupted outside. Su She went to check and was sent flying back, coughing up blood.

It turned out that Fairy had brought Jiang Cheng to the rescue. Wielding Zidian, Jiang Cheng engaged in an intense battle with Jin Guangyao’s sinister melodies, while Fairy relentlessly chased after Su She. After several rounds, Jiang Cheng gained the upper hand. Knowing he was at a disadvantage, Jin Guangyao deliberately brought up Jiang Cheng’s past—his desperate search for someone to draw Wei Wuxian’s sword—hoping to shake Jiang Cheng’s resolve.

Hearing Jin Guangyao’s words, Wei Wuxian was utterly shocked and turned to Lan Wangji for confirmation. Lan Wangji could only tell him to stay calm. Seeing that he had struck Jiang Cheng’s sore spot, Jin Guangyao continued his verbal assault. He sneered, recalling how years ago, Jiang Cheng had always been overshadowed by Wei Wuxian.

Yet after the Sunshot Campaign, it was as if Jiang Cheng had taken some miraculous golden core medicine, allowing him to rise rapidly and single-handedly support Lotus Pier. How impressive indeed. Jiang Cheng stood frozen as if struck by lightning. Taking advantage of his distraction, Jin Guangyao thrust his sword at him.

Jiang Cheng, unable to evade in time and also wary of Jin Guangyao targeting Wei Wuxian, suffered an injury and was forced to sit back, gritting his teeth in pain. Meanwhile, Jin Guangyao’s subordinates had finally unearthed the hidden treasure. Ignoring everyone else, Jin Guangyao immediately went to inspect it. At this moment, Wei Wuxian also realized what had happened—Wen Ning must have revealed the truth about the golden core transplant.

He felt a tinge of frustration, having explicitly told Wen Ning not to say anything. Jiang Cheng, with an expression of deep resentment, lifted his head and glared fiercely at Wei Wuxian.
