When did Wen Ning tell him?
While you were knocked out.
That's how we left Lotus Pier?
He's very sorry about that.
I've told him time and again
to never speak of it.
Never speak of what?
Wei Wuxian,
how selfless,
how great you are.
You've always been doing good deeds
and being wronged but could only keep it to yourself.
How touching.
Should I get down on my knees
and thank you with tears rolling down?
Jiang Cheng,
stop it.
I never desired your thanks.
Of course,
you did those good deeds for nothing in return
but for your noble personality, right?
Surely distinguished from me.
No wonder when father was still alive,
he often says you're the one who really understands the Jiang Clan's principle,
and has the demeanor of Jiang Clan.
-That's enough. -Enough?
It's your call?
Yes, you know the most.
You're better than me in every way.
Gift and cultivation,
intelligence and temperament.
You all know.
I'm not that noble.
Then what am I?
-Jiang Cheng, your wound! -Clan Leader Jiang.
Clan Leader Jiang.
Discretion.
Clan Leader Jiang, you have to calm down.
The more you talk, I'm afraid your wound will get worse.
Why, Wei Wuxian?
Tell me! Why!
Why what?
The Jiang Clan gave you so much.
I'm his own son.
I am the successor of the Jiang Clan!
But for those years,
you always got more than me in everything!
Care during growth,
and even lives.
My dad's.
My mom's.
My sister's.
And even Jin Zixuan's.
Because of you,
Jin Ling grew up without parents.
Wei Wuxian.
Who broke the oath first
and betrayed the Jiang Clan?
You said that
I would be the clan leader in the future
and you would be my subordinate.
You would assist me for life.
So what if the Twin Jades of Gusu are there?
We were the Twin Heroes of Yunmeng.
And you would never betray the Jiang Clan.
Who said that?
Tell me who said that?
You've swallowed them all up?
What did you do in return?
You went and protected those irrelevant,
and they were from the Wen Clan.
How much did you owe them
that you defected without hesitation?
What did you take the Jiang Clan for?
You've done every good thing.
And it's forced every time you do anything bad, right?
What hardship on earth are you burdened with
that you could never tell?
Hardship?
You didn't tell me anything.
You treat me like a little fool.
Jiang Cheng.
Wei Wuxian.
How much do you owe the Jiang Clan?
Shouldn't I hate you?
Can't I hate you?
Why?
Why does it seem like I'm supposed to feel sorry for you now?
Why should I keep feeling all these years
that I'm like a clown?
What am I then?
I deserve to stay in the shadow
of your glory?
Shouldn't I hate you?
Hanguang Jun.
My uncle is wounded.
Let him come! Am I afraid of Lan Zhan?
Why?
Why, Wei Wuxian?
Why didn't you tell me?
Because I don't want to see you being like this.
You said
I would be the clan leader in the future,
and you would be my subordinate.
You would assist me for life.
You would never betray the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng.
You said it yourself.
I'm sorry
I broke my promise.
We've reached this point.
I don't need your apology now.
I'm not that delicate.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
That's what I owed the Jian Clan.
As for this matter,
please don't keep it in your heart.
Forget it.
Although I know, according to your character,
you'll always remember it.
But I have to say,
I really think that
it is all in the past.
All those things
are from my previous life now.
Please let them go.
And we should both stop lingering on them.
GUANYIN HALL
Clan Leader Lan.
Where am I?
Clan Leader, are you fine?
I'm fine.
Thanks to you just now.
What happened?
A moment of negligence.
Minshan.
Tighten around my wrist!
It's poison.
It doesn't matter.
A while of adjustment will force it out.
Clan Leader, let me do it.
Clan Leader.
Mingjue.
Nie Mingjue.
You...
What on earth do you want?
Zewu Jun.
You're mistaking Clan Leader Jin.
In my opinion,
what's in there
was not buried by him at all.
Even if he buried something here,
it should have been replaced by something.
Am I right,
Clan Leader Jin?
Wei Wuxian.
Did you set him up?
I'm saying this with all my modesty,
but if I were the one who set him up,
I'm afraid he wouldn't have just gotten one arm hurt.
Clan Leader Jin,
do you remember the letter
Qin Su gave you at Carp Tower?
It's old madam Qin's maid Bicao
who told Qin Su what you did before.
But why did Bicao suddenly decide to expose your secrets?
Is there anyone behind her?
Besides, that girl named Sisi, imprisoned by you,
was saved by who?
And who taught them to go to Yunmeng
and tell your secrets to everyone there?
Since that guy could have ferreted out all your secret background,
it's also possible that
he arrived here in advance
and replaced the thing you want with Red Blade Master's body.
He waited for you to come and get it.
Now what else could be impossible?
Clan Leader.
The soil seems to have been dug before.
Somebody should have been here from the other side.
I knew it.
Clan Leader Jin.
Have you ever thought
you may be the predator tonight
but there's a hunter behind you?
The one who was always spying on you
is maybe watching
your every move
from somewhere right now.
Oh, no.
He's probably
not a human.
Wei Wuxian.
Stop bluffing to intimidate us.
Don't waste your energy on quarreling.
When the poison is out,
assemble those who are still alive and let's go.
Understood.
Clan Leader.
We've got everything settled.
Go treat your wound first.
Got it.
This Su She is always mean to others,
but he's always deferential to Jin Guangyao only.
Turn back.
It's you!
Hundred Holes!
It's unexpectedly easy to get
what is supposed to be hard to find.
Clan Leader Lan,
what's going on here?
So this is part of your plan
for the ambush on Qiongqi Way?
You let us call Master Wei over
just because you knew Jin Zixun would go
and attack him for the Hundred Holes curse?
Right?
Zixun,
do you
have any personal grudges against Young Master Wei?
Clan Leader Lan.
Why do you ask like that?
Obviously!
If Jin Zixun hadn't been cast on the evil spell,
none of that mess afterward would have happened.
One ambush
helped you get rid of Jin Zixuan and Jin Zixun,
two of your peers.
It paved the way for your succession of the Jin Clan
and becoming His Excellency.
Su She cast the evil spell.
It's pretty easy to know
who was behind him.
Jin Guangyao.
I didn't do anything against you back then.
We were not even that familiar.
You wanted to kill Jin Zixuan.
Why did you push that on me?
Master Wei,
you should know it best.
It's impossible for us to live in peace
without a feud.
Originally, there was no feud between everyone in the world.
But somebody would stab the first victim.
Sinister lowlife.
Lowlife?
What right do you have to call him lowlife?
All of you
praise yourself as decent clans and noble gentries.
You're just counting on your lucky birth and powerful family.
How could you look down upon us?
Aren't we, peripheral disciples,
also human?
If I could have protected myself,
would I have been threatened by others?
Would I have been swept out of Lan Clan
like a pile of leaves?
Yes.
You!
Betrayers won't be tolerated by the Lan Clan.
Hanguang Jun.
I'm so sick of your condescending attitude.
Just for that little mistake,
you could never forgive me!
It's as if I'm inferior to others
since birth.
Except for Clan Leader Jin,
who else among you ever showed me respect?
Tell you what.
To supercilious guys like Jin Zixun,
I would show no mercy to any of them.
I would kill every last one of them.
What are you laughing at?
Nothing.
I just didn't expect...
What do you want to say?
I just didn't expect you
to get so many people killed
just for...
Just for this?
Master Wei,
do you feel like you're so unfortunate?
Actually,
you're not.
Not unfortunate?
Yes.
Master Wei,
just think about it.
Even if we hadn't cast the spell on Jin Zixun,
I'm afraid Master Wei would be
attacked for something else sooner or later.
Because you're such a kind person.
Nicely speaking,
you're chivalrous and untamed.
But to be honest,
you're making enemies everywhere.
Unless those who you offended
survive their lives with no big trouble,
they're going to suspect you first
whenever something bad happens.
And you're going to be their first revenge target!
You can never
control that.
Even if you hadn't lost control
that night at the Nightless City,
how could you assure
that you won't lose control all of your life?
So your kind of people is doomed to have a short life.
See?
Don't you feel much better thinking that way?
You are short-lived!
You son of a whore!
Regardless of any morality for your promotion.
Clan Leader Jiang.
Collect yourself.
I understand how you're feeling.
You're so aggressive now
having known the truth.
You reflect on what you did all these years
and your proud ego feels a bit guilty.
So you're anxious to find a culprit for
what happened to Master Wei.
A culprit who can take all the blame.
Clan Leader Jiang.
If you would feel much better
when you can dump all the blame on me,
please suit yourself.
But you should understand one thing
that you're also responsible for
Master Wei's situation.
Heavily responsible.
Why are so many people
trying to kill the Yiling Patriarch?
Why did everyone turn against him?
Why was he lopsidedly obnoxious to everyone?
Is it really because of conformity?
Of course not!
Part of the reason
lies in you.
Shut up!
After the Sunshot Campaign,
the Jin Clan of Lanling, the Nie Clan of Qinghe, and the Lan Clan of Gusu
rivaled against each other
which had taken most of the benefit.
But you had rebuilt Lotus Pier not long after,
with an inconceivably dangerous Wei Wuxian by your side.
Do you presume that other clans
were glad to see such an advantaged
young clan leader?
Therefore,
If you could have treated Master Wei better,
to show you two have a solid relationship,
or if you could have been even a little bit more lenient
to prevent others from sowing discord,
things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Jin Guangyao,
how vicious you are.
Am I?
Clan Leader Jiang, don't you forget
you were part of the main force
when we're besieging Burial Mounds.
Just a "son of a whore"
made you talk so much.
It seems that "son of a whore"
is Clan Leader Jin's forbidden term.
No wonder you killed Red Blade Master.
-Assemble and we will leave. -Understood.
Clan Leader Jin!
How did you kill Red Blade Master?
Why don't you satisfy our curiosity?
Xue Yang and you
had spent quite some effort
turning Red Blade Master into a manipulable puppet.
Aren't you afraid?
Afraid of what?
Afraid of him
coming back for you.
Meng Yao.
You shall die miserably!
Meng Yao.
Mean bastard!
Yiling Patriarch, you're worthy of your title, aren't you?
Despite the restoration of half of the amulet by Xue Yang
and the loss of Chenqing,
you could still manipulate them.
Zewu Jun,
you've recovered your spiritual power.
Clan Leader Jin,
hand it over.
It's of not much use in your hands.
Clan Leader Jin,
may I ask you a question?
What did you use to forge this Stygian Tiger Amulet?
Only by that half from Xue Yang,
it shouldn't have been forged.
I just picked it up somewhere.
That's so lucky of you, Clan Leader Jin.
One casual walk
could get you the Yin Iron desired by all cultivation clans.
Since you have got it,
why ask me?
So from the very beginning,
from that time on,
you've been coveting a Stygian Tiger Amulet?
I'm afraid it was even earlier.
The first time you cooperated with Xue Yang
should be at the Unclean Realm.
Young Master Wei.
Why are you here?
I got my liquor
and mistaken the way back.
Why don't you go to the feast?
I have to keep an eye on Xue Yang.
The Unclean Realm
is like a steel bucket.
I suppose Xue Yang could never escape.
Thanks for your efforts then.
This way.
Kind of.
You admit it quite soon now.
Under such circumstances,
what's the difference
if I deny this one?
You cooperated with Xue Yang
just to forge a Stygian Tiger Amulet?
Xue Yang hid one shard of Yin Iron.
He wanted to save Xiao Xingchen.
So he joined hands with me
and tried to forge the amulet.
But even with the two of us,
we could only forge the amulet with half the power.
Master Wei.
I have one thing that troubles me for a long time.
I've always wanted to ask you.
What is it?
At that time, I also assumed you were
the one who took Yin Iron from Xue Yang
and made them into the amulet.
But in fact, that was not true.
You're trying to ask me
how I got the Yin Iron, right?
Exactly.
I learned it from Xue Yang.
Everyone believes
that there are only four shards of Yin Iron.
That's not true.
I see it now.
All the energy of the four directions
belongs to the Tortoise of Slaughter.
This is what that means.
You've done so many evil things
and striven so hard
just for a Stygian Tiger Amulet.
That's part of the reason.
Why don't you ask me to explain?
Before this,
I wasn't totally unaware of what you've done,
but I always believe that you did everything
out of an unspeakable reason.
But now,
you've done it too excessively.
I don't know if I should believe you anymore.
Clan Leader Lan,
I was wrong.
Hey.
Clan Leader Jin,
can't we stop talking?
Let's just fight?
Can we just start killing each other?
My friend.
We've been acquainted for many years.
In spite of what I've done,
you should understand
how I was treating you.
Now I renounce the leader of all cultivation clans.
And the amulet was given in.
I'll set off to Dongying after this night
without ever coming back.
For the sake of all those things,
please give me another chance.
