Jiang Cheng saw that Wei Wuxian still wanted to hide the truth about the golden core transfer even now. He was both angry and heartbroken. He was furious that Wei Wuxian had done such a great thing but refused to say anything—was he just waiting for Jiang Cheng to be eternally grateful? Wei Wuxian lowered his gaze; that was never his intention. However, Jiang Cheng became even more agitated.

It seemed that Wei Wuxian was truly on a higher level than him. No wonder even their father had praised him so highly when he was alive. Whether it was talent, cultivation, or temperament, Jiang Cheng could never surpass Wei Wuxian! Jiang Cheng's emotions spiraled out of control. He was supposed to be the rightful heir of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, yet for so many years, he had been overshadowed by Wei Wuxian at every turn.

Even his entire family had perished because of him. And yet, Wei Wuxian had once promised that as long as Jiang Cheng was the head of Yunmeng, he would always follow him, never betraying the Jiang Clan. If Gusu had the Twin Jades of the Lan Clan, then Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng would be the Twin Prides of Yunmeng. Listening to Jiang Cheng’s grievances, Wei Wuxian remained silent.

Jiang Cheng was shouting hoarsely, unable to accept that all of his achievements and cultivation were built upon Wei Wuxian’s sacrifice. Jiang Cheng’s face was covered in tears as he wept bitterly. Finally, he choked out an apology to Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian smiled warmly. He did not need gratitude—he considered it something he owed to the Jiang family. Now that everything had passed, he hoped Jiang Cheng would not dwell on it, nor see it as a burden.

There was no need for either of them to be trapped by the past. The Guanyin Temple fell into silence. Meanwhile, Nie Huaisang groggily woke up, completely unaware of what had just happened or how he had been captured by Su She. At that moment, the people digging for the so-called treasure suddenly let out horrifying screams. Su She supported Jin Guangyao as they staggered out.

Jin Guangyao’s hands were covered in bloody wounds that quickly darkened to a purplish-black color, indicating a severe injury. Everyone exchanged wary glances before turning their attention to the unearthed "treasure"—a pitch-black coffin. But there was no treasure inside. Instead, it contained the corpse of Nie Mingjue! His severed head had been crudely sewn back onto his neck, the rough stitching still exposed. Seeing this gruesome sight, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Wei Wuxian speculated that this was not the item Jin Guangyao had been searching for. Someone must have secretly swapped it beforehand. Su She immediately accused Wei Wuxian of being behind it, but Wei Wuxian scoffed at the accusation. If it were truly his doing, Jin Guangyao wouldn’t have just suffered minor wounds—he would be in far worse shape.

Clearly, someone had been secretly working against Jin Guangyao from the shadows, first bribing Bi Cao, then rescuing Si Si to expose Jin Guangyao’s crimes, and now swapping the treasure for Nie Mingjue’s corpse, delivering this "grand gift" to Jin Guangyao. Having been outmaneuvered, Jin Guangyao furiously ordered his men to tie up Wei Wuxian and the others before instructing Su She to retrieve medicine to treat his wounds.

While applying the medicine, Su She accidentally exposed the skin beneath his robes, revealing a terrifying pattern of holes—scars from backlash caused by an evil curse! Wei Wuxian and the others were shocked. After all this time searching, they had stumbled upon the answer effortlessly—Su She and Jin Guangyao had been the ones to place the curse on Jin Zixun! Lan Xichen was heartbroken as he questioned Jin Guangyao, while Jiang Cheng struggled furiously against his bindings.

If Jin Guangyao had not ordered Su She to curse Jin Zixun, then none of the subsequent tragedies would have happened. Wei Wuxian was also perplexed—he had no enmity with Jin Guangyao, so why had he gone to such lengths to frame him? Jin Guangyao was shameless as he sneered, "No one starts off with enemies. But once the first strike is made, grudges begin to form. " Su She, unable to hold back, spoke as well.

He had willingly followed Jin Guangyao because he had always resented how the noble sect heirs looked down on him. Just because he was of low birth, was he destined to remain inferior for life? Lan Wangji coldly rebuked him, saying that a treacherous person like Su She would never be tolerated in the Cloud Recesses, regardless of his background.

Seeing Wei Wuxian’s indignant expression, Jin Guangyao walked up to him with a sinister grin and shamelessly argued, "Even if I hadn’t framed you, with your reckless nature, it was only a matter of time before you were hunted down and made an enemy of the world. " Wei Wuxian clenched his teeth in fury, while Jiang Cheng’s face darkened with rage. He angrily cursed Jin Guangyao as the son of a prostitute. That struck a nerve.

Jin Guangyao’s expression twisted as he mockingly reminded Jiang Cheng that he, too, had participated in the siege against the Yiling Patriarch. What right did he have to rage now? After all, Wei Wuxian’s downfall was partly Jiang Cheng’s responsibility. Seeing Jin Guangyao remain utterly unrepentant, Wei Wuxian deliberately brought up Nie Mingjue’s death. At that moment, thunder rumbled outside, casting eerie shadows on Nie Mingjue’s corpse, making it look even more terrifying.

Although Wei Wuxian did not have Chenqing, he whistled, summoning the half-piece of the Stygian Tiger Seal hidden on Jin Guangyao’s person. Instantly, a black mist surged forth. Already burdened with guilt over his murders, Jin Guangyao was thrown into complete panic, hallucinating vengeful spirits closing in on him. In desperation, he bit his tongue and spat out blood, dispelling the dark energy and regaining some composure. Jin Guangyao staggered to his feet, sighing in admiration.

"The Yiling Patriarch truly is formidable. Just a whistle, and you can control the Stygian Tiger Seal. " But at that moment, both Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji had regained their spiritual power. They moved in perfect sync, restraining Jin Guangyao and injuring Su She. Left with no options, Jin Guangyao had no choice but to surrender the half-piece of the Stygian Tiger Seal.

Under Wei Wuxian’s questioning, Jin Guangyao could no longer deny it—he had started working with Xue Yang back in the Unclean Realm. Despite their combined efforts, they had only managed to create half of the Stygian Tiger Seal. Jin Guangyao was extremely curious: where had Wei Wuxian found his own half of the seal? When he learned that Wei Wuxian had accidentally obtained it from within the Tortoise of Slaughter, he finally understood.

Lan Xichen pressed his sword against Jin Guangyao’s throat, utterly disappointed in him. But to everyone's surprise, Jin Guangyao suddenly fell to his knees, abandoning all dignity to beg Lan Xichen for mercy, pleading for his life.
