Nie Huaisang didn't expect that the "changing times and shifting circumstances" he spoke of would come so quickly.
Just over a month after returning from the depths of the Qilian Mountains, the swords of the various Immortal Sects are all pointing towards Yunmeng. While at the previous meeting at the Golden Forest Platform, the affiliated Immortal Sects of the Nie and Lan families had to consider the face of their main families, the current situation of everyone being in danger no longer allows for such concerns. Moreover, with the disappearance of the head of the the Nie Family leaving only an incompetent Second Young Master, and rumors of internal strife in the The Lan family leading to the temporary closure of the mountain, it is rumored that it might be due to a falling out between Marshal Ze Wu and Lord Hanguang. In this way, both families are too preoccupied, leaving the Immortal Sects below to fend for themselves.
The situation is not too complicated: over a month ago, the Lan of Gusu issued a challenge to the Yunmeng Jiang Family, and Grandmaster Jiang personally went to seek justice but didn't even enter the mountain gate. These two families have openly torn their faces. Since then, traces of resentment have been found in many places within the Gusu territory, resulting in many deaths. Subsequently, there have been frequent homicides in the residence of the Lan's affiliated Immortal Sect, all related to resentment. After that, it spread to the residences of Qinghe and Nieshi's affiliated Immortal Sect. Now, even the affiliated territories of the Lanling Jin have started to bleed.
At first, the various Immortal Sects were still immersed in fear of Ancestor Yiling's resurrection and revenge, only now realizing that there were no problems in the territory of the Yunmeng Jiang Family. It's worth noting that not long ago, Jiang Wanyin personally led the teams of various sects on patrol. If anything had been done at that time, no one would have known.
In the end, Wei Wuxian is still a member of the the Yunmeng Jiang Family. Everyone could see how he assisted the Jiang family during the Sunshot Campaign. Even before the formal reconstruction of the the Yunmeng Jiang Family, various sects, such as the Lanling Jin, had tried to make contact with Wei Wuxian. However, Wei Wuxian remained loyal and did not show any intention of joining another family.
Following this line of thought, perhaps... starting from the Sunshot Campaign, everything was part of the Jiang family's plan? In the entire cultivation world, only Wei Wuxian practices the demon arts and understands it, which allows him to control resentment. It's possible that when Wei Wuxian risked everything to save the remnants of the Wen clan, he was actually acting as a pawn for the Jiang family - making himself a villain to elevate Jiang Wanyin's reputation! Of course, he didn't die in vain. Who knows, maybe he can better cultivate the demon arts as a ghost! In this way, he and Jiang Wanyin, one light and one dark, are just waiting for the chessboard to be set, and they will be able to swallow up all the sects of the Immortal Sect. By then, everyone might have to call Jiang Wanyin "Immortal Supervisor"!
This speculation, no one knows who first proposed it, but it quickly spread throughout the cultivation world. There were people who questioned it, after all, with Wei Wuxian's cultivation, there was no need to sacrifice so much for the the Yunmeng Jiang Family, right? He could have just established his own sect and achieved something, couldn't he?
Whenever there were similar doubts, there would always be someone to retort—
"Alas! Who made Wei Wuxian so foolish! He was filled with love for the Jiang family since childhood, even willing to die for them. He's such a big fool!"
"Is it true!? The Jiang family actually used love potions?"
"That's right! Look at the young master of the Jin family, the third son of the prestigious family. Why did he break off the engagement and then want to marry the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family again? Although the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family is a well-bred lady, she has no cultivation or talent. Besides being good at brewing aphrodisiacs, how can she possibly climb up to the Jin family? And how can she bear the legitimate grandson of the Jin family?"
"Good point! Hiss... in that case, the the Yunmeng Jiang Family is not to be underestimated! They might be plotting something!"
"Who says they're not! Just think about the Purple Spider back in the day. Tsk tsk tsk, the the Yunmeng Jiang Family really has a strong legacy!"
"Hahaha!"
"Shh, keep your voice down! Don't let it reach the ears of that person in Lotus Town!"
"Hmph, afraid of him? Afraid of ghosts! Even if I get whipped, dying would still make me a hero! I'll just go and give Wei Wuxian a piece of my mind in the afterlife, so he won't be born as a fool again and continue to be someone's lackey!"
"The rumor stops with the wise, but the world is not wise."
Jin Guangshan is not new to this kind of trick. He was already worried about the Royal Water Dungeon being exposed. Since the the Yunmeng Jiang Family has come forward as a scapegoat, he wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. With the experience of framing Wei Wuxian last time, after giving the order, Jin Guangyao quickly handled the matter, ensuring that the ears of all the Immortal Sect families could hear, especially those small Immortal Sect families with grievances in their own territories.
The smaller the ability, the easier it is to struggle, and the faster the death.
Amidst the escalating suspicions in Yunmeng, the Lanling Jin quietly swallowed a quarter of the territory that originally belonged to the the Yunmeng Jiang Family, after sacrificing several small Immortal Sects as pawns. Their reason was straightforward: when an ally seeks help, it cannot be ignored, and one must lend a helping hand.
No one would believe such nonsense, but Jiang Wanyin understood his own strength and could only swallow his anger. What troubled him the most now were the rumors! Firstly, the source of the rumors was untraceable, and secondly, he had no way to prove his innocence. Was he supposed to shout himself hoarse to tell outsiders that with his intelligence and abilities, he couldn't possibly have conceived such a grand scheme?
Impossible, and it's not a way out. Doubting this seed, once it's planted, it will be very difficult to uproot.
Facing doubts from many, indifference from relatives, gradually distancing from the Immortal Sect, and a significant loss of their own interests, Jiang Wanyin has only two options. Either to use an iron fist to investigate the truth, which is clearly beyond his ability, or to find the other key figure in the rumor and let that person solve the problem!
Of course he would choose the second one, and he could only choose the second one. After all, it's the habitual thinking of more than ten years. The chaotic burial mound is the first place he thought of. The last time he went, the Lotus Town behind him was still full of lotus leaves and blooming lotus flowers, but this time the scene is quite different, just like his distant figure, lonely and helpless, ready to be knocked down by a fall rain.
