Chapter 112 (Manhua)

## Synopsis

After departing Yi City, the juniors demand to know what Wei Wuxian observed in Empathy, as well as why Wen Ning was there.

Wei Wuxian relays A-Qing's story and is relieved when the juniors become too distracted to ask more about Wen Ning. As they dissolve into tears, Jin Ling declares that he wishes to command Fairy to bite Xue Yang. Ouyang Zizhen stomps his feet while wailing A-Qing's name.

The juniors decide to burn paper money to her. While they do, Wei Wuxian quietly recalls that he sent Wen Ning away with a whistle.

Wei Wuxian speaks to Lan Wangji, explaining that he noticed Xue Yang's left arm lying in the dirt. His four fingers clutch a long-since-rotted piece of candy. He concludes that Xue Yang was lonely and pathetic.

Wei Wuxian then hypothesizes to the juniors that Chang Ping was killed by Xue Yang himself masquerading as Xiao Xingchen as revenge for Chang Ping's abandonment of him all those years ago. He concludes that while Xue Yang was a pathetic and lonely person, he chose to take out his regrets on other people, and thus he could only die.

## Divergence from the Novel

In the novel, Wei Wuxian confronts Xue Yang directly about his true motives for killing Chang Ping and restoring Xiao Xingchen's soul, rather than explain it to the juniors.

The manhua cuts Wei Wuxian's insistence from his own experience that dead people do not receive burned money, and more notably, the manhua also cuts the hunter who confronted the juniors when they burned money in his yard. As the hunter claimed to be the only man in the area, the juniors protested, explaining that another hunter with many clothes and a large cap originally pointed them to Yi City. Wei Wuxian thus realized that someone directed the juniors there, purposefully risking their lives.

## Synopsis

While Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian head to the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian sits atop Little Apple and plays Wangxian. Recognizing the song, Lan Wangji stops abruptly.

Wei Wuxian asks Lan Wangji the name of the song, and Lan Wangji declines to provide it. He deduces that this song is the song that he played on Dafan Mountain, and thus how Lan Wangji confirmed his identity.

Sometime later, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian stop at a farmhouse for water and food. As Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are about to help themselves to a melon, the owners of the farmhouse arrive back home: a young couple and their child.

On instinct, Wei Wuxian pushes Lan Wangji behind a pile of hay. After hearing the woman call her husband "Er-Gege," Wei Wuxian begins teasing Lan Wangji, calling him "Lan Er-Gege." Lan Wangji warns Wei Wuxian that if he does not behave, he will Silence him.

## Synopsis

The rest of the cultivation clans arrive at Lotus Pier. A guest cultivator informs Jiang Cheng that two ladies have arrived at Lotus Pier with medicinal herbs as gifts, requesting a consultation regarding today's matter. Jiang Cheng invites the other cultivators to rest at the Sword Testing Hall while he speaks with them.

Half an hour later, Jiang Cheng brings the two ladies inside the Sword Testing Hall. The first woman, Sisi, is scarred all over her face. She reveals herself as a prostitute with a story from eleven years ago: she and her fellow old prostitutes arrived at a house by horse carriage to use their skills on a man. They found the man to be a sickly elder – Jin Guangshan. A younger man, Jin Guangyao, hid himself behind a curtain as he ordered the prostitutes to continue serving Jin Guangshan until he died, and to continue even after. In the aftermath, all the prostitutes but Sisi were killed, and Sisi does not know why she was spared.

Recently, a mysterious man rescued her, declaring his intent to make sure that people learned the truth about Jin Guangyao and gain justice for those he harmed. Wei Wuxian asks if there is any proof to her words, and thought Sisi admits there is not, she swears that if she is lying, may her corpse rot and not even have a coffin to lie in.

Lan Qiren recognizes the second woman, a woman named Bicao. Though she explains she was once Madam Qin's maidservant, the cultivators question how Lan Qiren could have seen a woman they presume to be a prostitute like Sisi.

A couple of statements are attributed to different clan leaders in the manhua than in the novel. The novel does not specify who exclaims with the realization that Sisi is talking about Jin Guangshan; in the manhua, it appears to be Clan Leader Ouyang. Moreover, Clan Leader Yao's robes and appearance have changed from Chapter 217.

Lastly, the manhua specifies that Jiang Cheng brought the women to the other cultivators after half an hour. In the novel, so much time has passed that the rest of the cultivators have grown impatient.

## Synopsis

Wen Qing scolds her brother for allowing Jiang Cheng to be so loud. She points out that Wen Chao will extend his search there, but she will them to stay for several days while treating Jiang Cheng. The needle remains in his forehead to prevent him from awakening.

When the needle is removed, Jiang Cheng refuses to eat or drink.

Wei Wuxian cooks a meal, and tells Jiang Cheng that he knows a way to recover his golden core. He will only tell him, however, if Jiang Cheng agrees to eat again.

The plan is to find the immortal Baoshan Sanren, his mother's teacher, as Wei Wuxian has a few fragments of memory that lead to the mountain she lives on.

They set out to a mountain in Yiling. Jiang Cheng ventures up the mountain alone, instructed to refer to himself as "Wei Wuxian, the son of Cangse Sanren" and never to take off his blindfold.

One week later, Wei Wuxian enters a tea shop at the base of the mountain while waiting for Jiang Cheng. Although he immediately realizes that something is wrong, he is captured by one strike from Wen Chao.

Wen Zhuliu and Wang Lingjiao appear, and Wang Lingjiao declares their intent to cut off his hand and torture him. Knowing that he will die, Wei Wuxian threatens to become a ferocious Ghost and haunt them afterwards.

He decides to have Wei Wuxian savagely beaten instead, before flying him to the Burial Mounds. The Burial Mounds are essentially a mountain of corpses from an old battleground, and no clan has been able to purge it, not even the Wens. Nor has anyone escaped it alive.

Assassin's Dagger

* Animation
* Manhua
* Web Series

The **Assassin's Dagger** is a dagger kept by Jin Guangyao inside a secret treasure room at Golden Carp Tower.

## Description

The dagger possesses powerful resentful energy, and shines with a cold, strong killing intent. The blade is exceedingly sharp, and when one looks at the blade, the reflection seen is not oneself. Sometimes the observer sees a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes an elder – the spirits of those who had died by the assassin's hands.

## Use

The dagger was originally owned by an assassin who killed countless people. Somehow, it fell into the hands of Wen Ruohan, and in the aftermath of the Sunshot Campaign, Jin Guangyao keeps it as a war trophy.

He stores the dagger in his secret treasure room, which also contains the head of Nie Mingjue behind a curtain to seal its powerful resentful energy. Once Wei Wuxian discovers the head, Jin Guangyao is able to quickly hide the evidence that he had killed his sworn brother by placing the dagger behind the curtain instead.

Unfortunately, his wife Qin Su, having just found out their true relationship as half-siblings, snatches the dagger from his hands and stabs herself in the abdomen. Due to the dagger's strong resentful energy, she dies "in the blink of an eye."

## Web Series Divergence

In the Web Series, Jin Guangyao also claims that the dagger belonged to Wen Qing after the fall of Wen Ruohan.

## Synopsis

As Wei Wuxian and the donkey rush back, Lan Sizhui asks "Master Mo" how he identified the Heavenly Maiden as the culprit. Wei Wuxian explains that if the soul-stealing entity merely wanted to steal souls, there would be no ghosts on the mountain. This entity clearly prefers living souls.

Most likely, years of prayer and devotion had resulted in the statue gaining its own divinity. The first man to lose his soul likely became trapped in the temple during a storm, during which he prayed to become rich. Thus the Maiden caused a landslide, unveiling treasure the bodies had been buried with. A-Yan later visited the temple to pray for her future husband to love her and be faithful to her his whole life, which the Heavenly Maiden granted by killing him shortly after their wedding. Blacksmith Zheng's prayer for his daughter's soul to be restored resulted in the loss of his own soul, and ever since, A-Yan has imitated the Heavenly Maiden's smile and pose.

In the temple, Jin Ling's wish to see the soul-stealing entity was echoed by many other cultivators in the temple, hence why the first cultivator lost his soul.

To save Jin Ling's life, Wei Wuxian hastily constructs a bamboo flute and plays it to summon any powerful nearby creature.

As Lan Sizhui continues to retch into the water, he notices a strange gurgling below. He cries out "Ghost," and Jin Ling immediately brandishes his sword, declaring that he will help him kill it.

However, Lan Sizhui actually meant to say Ghost General. As the juniors watch, Wen Ning's head appears above the water. Apparently, he has been clinging to their boat to follow along.

Wen Ning seps onto the boat and approaches Lan Sizhui, asking his name. Lan Sizhui replies that his name is Lan Yuan (蓝**愿**, *Lán Yuàn*). Wen Ning echoes the name as Lan Yuan (蓝**苑**, *Lán Yuàn*), which happens to have the same pronunciation as the name of the child from the Burial Mounds. Wen Ning eagerly asks who gave him the name.

Lan Sizhui replies that his parents gave him his name, but they passed away when he was very young. Another junior warns him not to say so much, and Wen Ning learns his courtesy name is Sizhui (思追, *Sīzhuī*), meaning "to remember and long for." Wen Ning asks who gave him his courtesy name, and Lan Sizhui answers that Hanguang-jun did.

Wen Ning explains that Lan Sizhui resembles a cousin of his, and Lan Sizhui wonders why he feels as though he has seen Wen Ning before. Just then, Jin Ling raises his sword. He scoffs at Wen Ning's use of his own courtesy name, and Lan Sizhui remembers that Jin Ling hates Wen Ning for the death of his father.

The juniors thank Wei Wuxian, infuriating Fang Mengchen. He demands to know if Wei Wuxian presumes this to be atonement, pointing out that the blood he shed can never be undone. Clan Leader Ouyang stops his lunge for Wei Wuxian, but Fang Mengchen maintains that he cannot let the murder of his parents go, as they died at Wei Wuxian's hands.

Wei Wuxian expresses empathy with Fang Mengchen's rage, noting that the young man wants him to die miserably because he thinks that will dispel his hatred. However, Wei Wuxian points out that his family is already dead, and the Wen remnants have already died once, and died once more just now to save everyone's lives. Fang Mengchen insists that he will never forgive Wei Wuxian, and Wei Wuxian replies that just as Fang Mengchen cannot forget what happened, neither can he. Fang Mengchen runs off with a cry.

He asked him to wait in the Yashi while he prepares, and Jin Guangyao departs.

## Synopsis

Jin Guangyao travels to Qinghe nearly every day to play for Nie Mingjue. Listening to the song, Wei Wuxian notes its effectiveness, as he is able to feel all of the hostile energy in Nie Mingjue suppressed.

However, while Jin Guangyao consults with Lan Xichen at Golden Carp Tower, Nie Mingjue suddenly bursts in. He demands to speak to Jin Guangyao in private, only to attempt to punch him even before they speak.

Nie Mingjue is irate over the commuting of Xue Yang's sentence from death to life imprisonment, and accuses Jin Guangyao of interfering. When Jin Guangyao says that Xue Yang cannot hurt another person, Nie Mingjue accuses him of defending Xue Yang. Jin Guangyao then insists that the decision was Jin Guangshan's, and Nie Mingjue accuses him of hiding behind his father.

Nie Mingjue demands that he kill Xue Yang, insisting that his pitiful act does not work on him. Jin Guangyao replies that it is not an act, as he was not born with a high status, nor did he have a chance to develop a high level of cultivation, unlike Nie Mingjue. He mentions that his father has chosen to recognize another illegitimate son rather than consider him a successor, and freely admits that he fears losing his position in the Lanling Jin Clan.

Angered, Jin Guangyao asks why, since Nie Mingjue has killed more people than him, yet he holds those he killed against him. Nie Mingjue answers that he killed in battle, not for societal gain.

Jin Guangyao retorts that if he killed "one to save a hundred," is that wrong? He accuses Nie Mingjue of claiming that those whom he has killed deserved it, and asks how he determines who deserves to die.

When Nie Mingjue, in response, asks Jin Guangyao considers his life more valuable than those he's killed, Jin Guangyao declares that he is obviously different.

Nie Mingjue kicks him down the stairs of Golden Carp Tower, and, drawing Baxia, shouts that he is the "son of a prostitute."

Lan Xichen intervenes, but Nie Mingjue insists that Jin Guangyao is beyond redemption, and must be killed.

The Russian Empire is a relatively large empire known for its large landmass, military prowess, large economy, and its recent abolition of serfdom that liberated 23 million serfs and granting them citizenship in the empire.

The largest empire in history, stretching over three continents (Eusea, Nyr, Valyria) that no one has ever surpassed before. It comprises three tsardoms; Tsardom of Novorostov, Tsardom of Zantovia, Tsardom of Joshnia.

The House of Romanov ruled the Russian Empire since 1721. Like all empires, it included a large disparity in terms of economics, ethnicity, and religion. There were numerous dissident elements, who launched numerous rebellions and assassination attempts; they were closely watched by the secret police, with thousands exiled to Siberia.

Economically, the empire had a predominately agricultural base, with low productivity on large estates worked by serfs (until they were freed in 1861). The economy slowly industrialised with the help of foreign investments in railways and factories.

The Russian Empire is a member of the Northern Powers and is one of the founding members of the alliance along with The Greater Krividian Empire**,** The Australasian Confederation**,** and the Vörenger Imperium**.**

### History

Russia as a country didn't exist until 1721, when the **Tsardom of Novorostov** and **Tsardom of Zantovia** signed a treaty which would unite the two tsardoms to form the Russian Empire. In 1840, the **Tsardom of Dzhoshnya** joined the empire.

### Geography

The Russian Empire is located in the northern continents of Eusea and Nyr. Due to the harsh winters that surrounds the region, the empire expanded its territories to the south by annexation to gain more fertile lands.

Chapter 137 (Manhua)

## Synopsis

Wei Wuxian realizes that this scene occurs after Nie Mingjue's capture during a surprise attack. As a result, he and his fellow captives were taken directly to Wen Ruohan in Nightless City.

Meng Yao laughs with pity at Nie Mingjue's terrible situation. Another captive, however, insults the Sun Palace as "the den of Wen-dogs," and Meng Yao immediately kills him.

He then asks if anyone else dare say the slur, and, knowing he will die anyway, Nie Mingjue growls, "Wen-dog."

Instead of killing him, however, Meng Yao presents Baxia to Nie Mingjue.

Meng Yao taunts him that Baxia is inferior to his father's saber. He wonders how many slaps it would take for Wen Ruohan to break it – a direct reference to the sabotaged saber that resulted in the death of Nie Mingjue's father, which Nie Mingjue witnessed as a teenager.

Nie Mingjue strikes Meng Yao, who retaliates by kicking him, to Wei Wuxian's amusement.

## Synopsis

Yu Ziyuan asks if a kite is the reason for Wang Lingjiao's visit today.

Wang Lingjiao announces that she is actually here to punish Wei Wuxian for continually insulting Wen Chao. She then implies that if Yu Ziyuan declines to punish Wei Wuxian, one must wonder if certain rumors are true.

Just then, Yu Ziyuan proceeds to whip Wei Wuxian with Zidian. Jinzhu and Yinzhu hold Jiang Cheng back when he attempts to intervene.

After finishing, Yu Ziyuan declares that he will not be able to move for a month. Wang Lingjiao, however, is unsatisfied. She requests that Wei Wuxian's right hand be cut off.

Jiang Cheng breaks free and throws himself in front of Wei Wuxian, begging his mother not to take Wei Wuxian's hand.

Yu Ziyuan commands Jinzhu and Yinzhu to close the doors so no one sees the blood. Although Wei Wuxian is initially afraid, he resolves that he will just learn left-handed sword work from now on. His hand is worth peace for the Yunmeng Jiang Clan.

Wang Lingjiao expresses her admiration for Yu Ziyuan, and declares the second reason for her visit: the Qishan Wen Clan is appointing Supervisory Offices in every city. Lotus Pier will be the new supervisory office for Yunmeng.

When Jiang Cheng protests and Wang Lingjiao replies that all clans must be subservient to the Qishan Wen Clan, Yu Ziyuan suddenly delivers a deafening slap. She then dispatches the accompanying Wen cultivators with Zidian before advancing upon Wang Lingjiao with the statement, "Before you beat a dog, you look at its master."
