One day, the Yueyang Clan’s leader went out night-hunting with a few family members for about half a month. In the middle of the night, without any warning, they received the bad news and immediately hurried back. After the mourning, they only found out that someone purposely destroyed their protective array and let in a group of powerful evil spirits. Other than that, they knew nothing.

"What the? A person is really capable to do that without aby mercy?" asked Nie Huaisang in disbelief.

"People in the future is not what you can call normal." said a random cultivator.

In most cases, only few people knew about the tragedies that happened in smaller clans, but the circumstances back then were different. The Sunshot Campaign finished long ago, while the siege at Luanzang Hill only just ended. On the surface, the situation seemed rather stable. With the sudden disclosure of this event, the entire cultivation world was bubbling with discussion, some even exaggerating that it was the revenge of the revived YiLing Patriarch, Wei WuXian. However, there wasn’t any evidence, so it had been impossible to find the killer. Of course, Xiao XingChen didn’t sit back and do nothing. He volunteered to be responsible for the matter and find out the truth for Chang Ping. After a month, the murderer was finally discovered.

"He's brave to do that." said a disciple.

"People really can't investigate first before putting the blame on me." said Wei Wuxian while shaking his head.

"Thanks for my shishu to be brave enough to help them solve the problem." he added making Xiao Xingchen smile at him.

The murderer’s name was Xue Yang.

Xue Yang was even younger than Xiao XingChen, nothing more than just a boy. Despite this, he definitely didn’t tone down on his cruelty just because he was young. Ever since the age of fifteen, he had been a delinquent in the area of Kuizhou, known far and wide for his radiant smile, inhumane means, and merciless personality. Everyone’s expressions changed whenever he was brought up in a conversation. When he was a child dwelling in the streets, it was said that he developed a hatred that lasted for years toward Chang Ping’s father. He committed this crime in vengeance and for some other reasons.

"Xue Yang?" asked Wei Wuxian while looking around the crowd.

"Do you think he's here?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"It's possible. Whatever he did in the future might have come from a deep reason." answered Wei Wuxian.

"Do you even know what he look like?" asked Jiang Cheng while rolling his eyes.

Wei Wuxian shake his head making a boy at the last row smirk.

After Xiao XingChen found out the truth, he went across three provinces and Xue Yang was still happily picking fights with others. Taking advantage of the Discussion Conference that was happening at the Jinling Tower of the LanlingJin Sect’s residence, when the most prominent sects met up and discussed cultivation methods, Xiao XingChen brought him over, explained the situation, and demanded severe punishment.

"That's what he looks like?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"He's kinda good-looking." said a female cultivator.

Wei Wuxian once again looked at the crowd spotting his target who is looking at him with a smile that resembles a devil.

Wei Wuxian smirked at him.

"Jiang Cheng." he called.

Looking at each other, he knew that Wei Wuxian has something to tell him so he stood up and sat beside the man.
