Why?
Why isn't the Yin Iron working?
Who is it?
Who?
It's you.
Clan Leader Wen.
I'm glad to meet you.
Where did you get your shard of Yin Iron?
I've been dead once.
We, of course, came from hell.
Clan Leader Wen.
My spiritual tool has just been refined.
No one has seen it yet.
What is it, and how can it control the Yin Iron?
Did Xue Yang give it to you?
What on earth is it?
Clan Leader Wen.
This spiritual tool
is not called the Yin Iron.
It is called
Stygian Tiger Amulet.
Stygian Tiger Amulet?
Wei Ying!
Wei Ying.
The Wen Clan is all dead.
We won!
-We won! -We won!
That sun...
-We won! -We won!
-is finally setting down. -We won!
-We won!
Nie Mingjue.
Lan Xichen.
You're finally awake.
Hand me the blade.
Clan Leader Nie,
let me explain.
Nie Mingjue.
Clan Leader Nie,
your wounds are still fresh.
Xichen, it's none of your business.
When you were killing the cultivators of the Nie Clan--
I had no choice at that moment.
You had no choice?
It was always your choice,
whether to kill them or not.
Was it really up to me?
Clan Leader Nie,
if we could have exchanged our situation...
We couldn't!
Nie Mingjue.
-Xichen, get out of the way! -Calm down!
Zewu Jun.
Nie Mingjue.
What are you doing this for?
What for?
Back then, after he was kicked out of Qinghe,
I was wondering why I couldn't know his whereabouts.
It turns out that he became the Wen Clan's underling
and had been helping the tyrant in the Nightless City.
Nie Mingjue.
Do you know who gave you the Wen Clan's map of tactical formation at that time?
Do you know who
our source of information was all this time?
There is no need to doubt.
Today, I received Yao's message,
so I could make it to the Scorching Sun Palace with Wangji.
I was right to have trusted him.
It was he who schemed to let Wen Ruohan's guard down
and seized the opportunity to kill Wen Ruohan.
Him?
Nie Mingjue.
After the incident at Qinghe,
Yao has always felt remorseful,
so he was afraid to run into you.
I was escaping from Cloud Recesses
and he saved my life.
Later on,
he managed to sneak into the Wen Clan of Qishan,
approached Wen Ruohan,
and then wrote me letters in secrecy.
At first, I didn't know who was sending the letters.
Then I realized who it was after spotting a few hints in his letters.
Didn't you tell Nie Mingjue all these?
Zewu Jun,
you saw it.
In that sort of situation,
even if I had said it,
Clan Leader Nie wouldn't have believed in me either.
Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian, you're awake.
How do you feel?
Do you feel any discomfort?
Yanli.
What time is it now?
You've been asleep for three days.
Wei Wuxian.
-For three days? -Come.
How about Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan?
Don't worry. They're all safe.
Wei Wuxian.
The Wen Clan has been eliminated.
There's nothing to worry about.
The most important thing for you now is to have a good rest.
When you were in a coma these past few days,
both Jiang Cheng and Second Young Master Lan were very worried about you.
Even Clan Leader Jin came to see you several times.
Jin Guangshan?
After the Wen Clan's elimination,
Clan Leader Jin rushed over from Lanling.
He said he would take troops to chase the remaining evil of the Wen Clan.
I didn't see him during the Sunshot Campaign.
Now he's so enthusiastic about it.
Wei Wuxian.
Being spiteful is not right.
Okay, Yanli.
You don't need to get up now.
Second Young Master Lan said that
you've spent too much spirit power by using the amulet.
Even if you've woken up, you still have to rest for a few days.
Yanli.
You knew about it too?
I didn't know my Wei Wuxian has been so good now.
But you can't use the amulet casually anymore.
Second Young Master Lan said that it could consume too much power
and is bad for your temperament.
"Second Young Master Lan."
Why do you keep mentioning him today?
He's a boring person. He doesn't talk much.
You're being naughty again.
These past few days when you were in a coma,
Second Young Master Lan came here every morning and evening
and played his guqin for you to relax your mind and spirit.
If he hadn't done that, I'm afraid you wouldn't have woken up so soon.
That must be Second Young Master Lan.
Lady Jiang.
Second Young Master Lan.
Thank you, Second Young Master Lan.
If it weren't for you, Wei Wuxian wouldn't have woken up so soon.
You two can talk.
I'll go take care of the wounded.
Lan Zhan.
Actually, I--
Be quiet.
Concentrate.
Lan Zhan.
I'm fine.
Three more days are needed.
I'm really fine.
Look.
Exorcise evil. Ease the mind.
Don't be neglectful.
"Exorcise evil"?
I don't need an exorcism.
I've just spent too much spirit power.
Wei Ying.
Lan Zhan.
Do you also think that Stygian Tiger Amulet is evil
and can disturb people's minds?
But in the world,
is there really such an undetectable thing
that can change people's minds
from loyalty to treachery
and from good to evil?
Kill them!
Don't kill me!
Kill them all!
They are catching people.
Don't let them go!
Chasing the Wen Clan's remaining evil.
Where are those three shards of Yin Iron?
Kill them all.
Destroyed.
Don't let them run away.
Kill! You have nowhere to run!
Clan Leader Lan,
chasing the remaining evil of the Wen Clan is a piece of cake.
You don't have to bother.
I will get it done properly by myself.
But I just heard a woman's voice.
Catching the remaining evils of the Wen Clan
doesn't need to include their defenseless clan members.
Xichen.
I know that you're a kind person.
But even if we have destroyed the Wen Clan,
there are numerous courtiers and myrmidons of the Wen Clan
all over the land.
Though you and I have conquered the Nightless City,
they might take advantage when we're off guard,
they might reunite and fight for the Wen Clan
while we're busy settling down.
The Lan Clan has always preferred civilizing people.
What Xichen said was not unreasonable.
Clan Leader Jin.
How about letting go of these defenseless members of the Wen Clan?
Red Blade Master. Zewu Jun.
There is nothing wrong with considering benevolence first,
but don't forget that
though the Wen Clan has been eliminated
and three shards of Yin Iron have also been destroyed,
there's still one shard of the Yin Iron missing.
We cannot ignore it.
The great power of Yin Iron doesn't need to be further elaborated.
If,
and I mean if,
it fell into the hands of the Wen Clan's remaining evils
or other people with ambition,
it will bring disaster.
Therefore, to capture the Wen Clan's remaining evils is to find out
the whereabouts of the Yin Iron.
Clan Leader Jin has thought about it very thoroughly.
Clan Leader Jin.
What do you mean by "people with ambition"?
Nothing.
It's just that this is of great importance.
We shouldn't dismiss suspicious people.
Therefore, no matter if the person is from the Wen Clain, Jin Clan, or Jiang Clan,
everyone has to be inquired one by one.
I've asked Yao to conduct a detailed investigation on this.
To tell you the truth,
Yao is my long-lost son.
Now he's very lucky
to have the chance to find his origin.
How fortunate!
He is now renamed Jin Guangyao.
Clan Leaders, the remaining evils from the Nightless City
have been captured and await justice.
Yao.
What's your opinion about these remaining evils?
I've interrogated all the rest.
There is no clue about the Yin Iron.
Most of them are members of the Wen Clan who have no spiritual power.
I suggest we confine and monitor the old, weak, and young,
as long as they stop making trouble.
And those who have killed our cultivators
must be executed.
But where should we confine them?
The Wen Clan has a place called Qiongqi Way.
It's a secluded ancient road in a valley,
which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Why not keep them there?
You are really familiar with it.
Do as Yao just said.
Yao.
You don't have to take it seriously.
Nie Mingjue is typical of his kind.
He resents the evil and favors the good.
He's just afraid you've made the wrong choice.
Resents the evil?
Am I the evil?
I didn't mean that.
Zewu Jun, you don't need to think about that.
I've been following Clan Leader Nie for so many years.
I know what he's thinking.
I never take it personally.
Zewu Jun.
You can go with Clan Leader Nie first.
Here.
I'll handle it.
Okay.
Bring them in.
Lan Zhan.
What do you think about the people here?
Who is good
and who is evil?
Wei Ying.
Concentrate.
Would you like to learn the musical notation of "Absterge"?
Lan Zhan.
You want me to learn "Absterge"?
You doubt me too, don't you?
Where did you get your shard of Yin Iron?
What is it that can even control the Yin Iron?
Did Xue Yang give it to you?
What on earth is it?
When did you forge the Stygian Tiger Amulet?
Lan Zhan.
If I said that I have a Yin Iron sword
in the Tortoise of Slaughter's cave,
would you believe it?
When?
When the Tortoise was slaughtered.
When did you finish refining it?
Recently...
You have already known it's Yin Iron.
-Why do you need to refine it? -Lan Zhan, enough!
You promised that
you would let me help you.
But if you don't believe me,
how can I help you?
The Stygian Tiger Amulet is not orthodox after all.
Once you get restless,
you will lose control.
Lan Zhan.
Are you afraid that I'll be like Wen Ruohan,
who was controlled by Yin Iron?
But the Stygian Tiger Amulet is not the Yin Iron,
nor am I Wen Ruohan.
Help!
Help! Please don't kill my child.
Don't kill us!
Don't kill me!
Help!
Run!
It's Second Young Master Lan.
I don't know why Second Young Master Lan
would want to help these remaining evils of the Wen Clan.
These are women, children, and old men.
Are they also evil?
It's Clan Leader's order
that anyone who has concerns with the Yin Iron
should not be alive.
Clan Leader Nie and Clan Leader Lan also agreed.
Does Jiang Clan have any questions?
I'm afraid there will be more resentful spirits in Qishan.
I'm afraid what is needed now
is the music "Requiescat."
We swear to God.
Today, the three of us will make a solemn pledge here.
Live up to our clans.
Help the common people.
Heaven and Earth are here to bear witness.
If there is disloyalty between us,
we'll be universally condemned.
Both God and people will be furious with us.
If there is disloyalty between us,
we'll be universally condemned.
Both God and people will be furious with us.
Clan Leader Jin.
Congratulations, Clan Leader Yao.
Now the Wen Clan has been eliminated.
I think we, the small clans, will rely on you.
You flatter me, Clan Leader Yao.
I have to thank you for your generous help.
Young Master Jin.
No. I should call you Lianfang Zun.
You are so modest.
In the Sunshot Campaign, you made the greatest contribution.
Now you, Lianfang Zun, Red Blade Master, and Zewu Jun
all have respectable titles
which are also well-deserved.
You flatter me.
Please.
-After you, please. -After you.
Clan Leader Jin.
Clan Leader Jiang is young and promising.
After the Sunshot Campaign,
you succeeded the clan leader.
Congratulations.
When will the succession ceremony be held?
Thanks, Clan Leader Jin.
I am still in mourning.
It's not appropriate to hold it.
Oh, right.
I am a close friend of Fengmian Jiang.
After the departure in Gusu,
I never thought
it would be the departure between life and death.
Zewu Jun and Hanguang Jun have arrived.
Congratulations, Clan Leader Jiang.
I believe that in the leadership of Clan Leader Jiang,
Lotus Pier will surely revive
to protect the people of Yunmeng.
You flatter me.
In the future, I'd like to receive your guidance.
Red Blade Master has arrived.
Clan Leader Jin.
Clan Leader Nie.
Why are you so late?
All the gentry families are waiting for you.
Red Blade Master.
Please have a seat.
Yao.
You have forgotten it.
Now that you two are sworn allies,
you should call him Clan Leader Nie.
Yes.
Clan Leader Lan, thank you for your reminder.
Clan Leader Nie.
Please.
Clan Leader Jin.
What do you mean?
Clan Leader Nie,
please have a seat so we can begin the banquet.
Clan Leader Jin.
Everybody.
Although we're holding a banquet in the Nightless City,
I will never
sit in that seat.
Clan Leader Nie.
No wonder you're respected by many clans.
The blame should be on me. I'm too careless.
We'll rearrange our seats.
Clan Leader Nie, please.
Have a seat.
Please.
Young Master Wei.
What did you want to say to me just now?
Me?
Yes.
You seemed to want to say something to me
when we were greeting each other.
He is surely tactful and can pay attention to all aspects.
Nothing.
It's just that the weapon you held
seemed to be a flexible saber
when you killed Wen Ruohan in the Sunshot Campaign.
Why doesn't Young Master Jin carry it today?
Young Master Wei, I'm sorry to have made a show.
It's just the first thing I could find.
Later, I found it was sinister.
Then I threw it away.
I see.
Please.
Here's a toast to Clan Leader Jiang and Lady Jiang.
Thank you for saving my life last time.
Please.
SCORCHING SUN PALACE
It's you, Lan Zhan.
How about playing "Absterge"?
I'm learning a new score.
You haven't given up, have you?
You are really...
stubborn.
Good!
-Clan Leader Jin! -Clan Leader Jin!
Many clans gathered together
to crusade against the Wen Clan,
which had indeed been a great fortune in the past hundred years.
The success of the Sunshot Campaign
owes its gratitude to the Nie Clan of Qinghe, the Lan Clan of Gusu,
and the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng, these three clans.
Today, I'll drink first
to show my respect to you.
-You're welcome, Clan Leader Jin. -That's very kind of you, Clan Leader Jin.
Oh, you shouldn't have.
Everybody.
Please sit down.
Everybody,
I have always been concerned about something.
It was inappropriate for me to mention it before
because of the campaign.
Now the disturbance has been suppressed and I have no worries anymore.
Luckily, all of you are here today,
so I hope everyone can be a witness.
As you all know,
Clan Leader Jiang Fengmian and I were as close as brothers.
And my wife and Madam Yu were also as close as sisters.
My son, Zixuan,
has been engaged to Lady Jiang since their childhood.
But because of some misunderstandings, we called it off.
What a pity!
Now my friend has joined the angels,
and my wife and I both hope that
the two families can become relatives by marriage again.
Not only would it comfort my old friend,
but also I can look after my friend's daughter,
which is one of my wishes.
Clan Leader Jiang,
what's your opinion?
Clan Leader Jiang.
That's a good thing.
Just say yes.
-Yes, it's a good thing. -A good thing indeed.
-Yes. -Just grant it, Clan Leader Jiang.
Yanli seems to still be attached to that peacock.
But the engagement was already called off.
Granting it now will make it
look like the Jiang Clan is playing up to others.
Clan Leader Jin,
we appreciate your kindness.
