Chapter 346 Past Dreams 17
The large characters were immediately visible to everyone present. A moment later, Wei Chaoyan's hearty and satisfying laughter resounded through the sky.
Originally, having not dealt with the Jin and Jiang families for so many years, and knowing that both had fallen into obscurity after the merger of the two realms and were not doing well, Wei Chaoyan had forgotten much of her hatred for the Jin and Jiang families while reading the book.
But ever since the meeting with 001 and the movie screening, the immersive experience has rekindled Wei Chaoyan's deep-seated hatred. Moreover, upon learning that her Aying had actually experienced such a thing twice, her hatred deepened to the bone.
Now, having witnessed firsthand that the original destiny line reached the point where everything had settled at the Guanyin Temple, and that these two families had received their due retribution, this ending, which aligns perfectly with her universal belief that "good and evil will eventually be rewarded," has somewhat made up for the greatest resentment she felt when reading the book in her first life!
So what exactly happened?
However, after Jin Guangyao's downfall, although Jin Ling had Jiang Wanyin's support, and the various families were wary of the Yiling Patriarch's favor towards the Jiang siblings, they dared not openly appear to divide and devour the Lanling Jin Clan.
However, the once formidable prestige of the Xuanmen Immortal Chief family is no longer present. Furthermore, Jin Ling's methods are still immature, and his strength and prestige are insufficient to command respect. The other direct and collateral branches within the family, suppressed by Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao, are all ambitious and intend to seize power. Jin Ling simply cannot command the disciples of the Jin family!
Meanwhile, his grandfather Jin Guangshan and uncle committed numerous atrocities both internally and externally, making countless enemies. During their lifetimes, their superb skills, cunning, and considerable prestige were enough to silence all their enemies.
But things were different when Jin Ling took power. The backlash from what had been suppressed came back several times over, and he simply didn't have the courage or means to break the deadlock. As a result, the Jin family's situation deteriorated rapidly.
Once the Kim family's power weakens, the dark secrets that were previously kept hidden by their immense power will inevitably gradually be revealed to the outside world.
For example, Jin Guangshan's acts of sexually assaulting his subordinates and even the wives and daughters of affiliated families and confusing their bloodlines; the various despicable things Jin Guangshan did for his own selfish desires; and the corpse-refining field that Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao conspired to build.
A series of victims, sooner or later, found the culprit behind their misfortunes—the Lanling Jin Clan—and slowly gathered at Jinlintai, attempting to take revenge!
Thus, under the combined attacks and encirclement, Jin Ling, burdened by a disobedient Jin clan member, was overwhelmed and helpless, with no chance to fight back. He could only watch as the Jin clan's power continued to weaken while he was powerless to do anything about it.
Meanwhile, as the Kim family's power waned, the cover-up became increasingly difficult to maintain, revealing more and more secrets. The number of opportunists and avengers who flocked to the scene to take advantage of the situation grew larger and larger, leading to more intense attacks on the Kim family. As a result, the Kim family's situation, unable to withstand the pressure, continued to deteriorate...
Hmm... In this way, Jin Ling and the Lanling Jin Clan were trapped in an increasingly worse vicious cycle, with no chance of breaking the deadlock.
Looking for my uncle, Jiang Wanyin?
Having lost the protection and deterrence of their former Immortal Chieftain family through marriage, and due to the exposure of the truth of the past, Jiang Wanyin and the Yunmeng Jiang Clan have completely alienated the current Nie Clan leader Nie Huaisang and several direct descendants of the Lan Clan. Although the Lan and Nie families did not openly break ties with the two families, they secretly worked together to sever all ties and cooperation with the Jiang Clan.
The two powerful figures made no attempt to conceal their actions. While their affiliated families, allied clans, and some astute families didn't understand their intentions, they responded immediately to their plans.
They severed all cooperative ties with the Yunmeng Jiang family in various aspects!
Having lost the support of the Jin family and being tacitly isolated by most of the Xuanmen sects, the Yunmeng Jiang clan's power immediately began to decline in a visible manner.
Similarly, as soon as the Yunmeng Jiang Clan showed signs of weakness, the surrounding large and small aristocratic families immediately gathered around the Jiang Clan like the most keen predators smelling blood. They frequently used various methods to test the waters before devouring the Jiang Clan. The endless tests kept Jiang Wanyin busy and overwhelmed!
Meanwhile, over the past decade or so, due to his ruthless and unscrupulous actions of hunting down and killing ghost cultivators and Wen surname civilian cultivators, the cultivators and civilians who lost their relatives and friends also seized the opportunity to try to take advantage of this opportunity to bury Jiang Wanyin and the Yunmeng Jiang Clan together in the Yellow Springs!
Therefore, Jiang Wanyin, who was preoccupied with her own problems, was indeed unable to offer any assistance to Jin Ling in his predicament!
Seek out Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, who is already bound to the Lan Clan and has some connection with Nie Huaisang, the leader of the Nie Clan.
Anyone with a normal mind knows that the culprit behind Wei Wuxian's tragic end in his previous life, when he was disgraced and devoured by countless ghosts, was the Lanling Jin Clan.
After his sacrifice, he didn't seek revenge against the Jin family, which is already a rare act of magnanimity. How could anyone dare to ask him to intervene and save the Jin family from disaster? That's just wishful thinking!
Moreover, even if Jin Ling, under pressure from reality, followed his uncle's shamelessness and attempted to morally blackmail Wei Wuxian by using the relationship between the Yunmeng Jiang Clan and his mother Jiang Yanli, forcing him to take action.
We'll have to see if Wei Wuxian agrees!
He is currently the Daoist partner of Hanguang-jun of the Gusu Lan Clan, and has been included in the Lan Clan's genealogy. He is essentially a direct descendant of the Lan Clan and represents the Lan Clan in the cultivation world.
If he agrees to Jin Ling's request to get involved in the Jin family's mess, it would be tantamount to sending this message to all the major sects of the cultivation world—
Wei Wuxian, representing the Lan Clan, broke the centuries-old rule of the Xuanmen (Taoist sects) not to interfere in the internal affairs of other clans, intending to use the Lan Clan's centuries-old reputation and heritage to pay the price for the Jin Clan's numerous sins!
Given Wei Wuxian's unwillingness to implicate others and his deep affection for his Daoist partner, would he really make such a irrational and absurd decision?
Absolutely impossible!
Jin Ling knew, Jiang Wanyin knew but was unwilling to admit it, the elders, disciples and students of the Jin and Jiang families were clear, and the people of other families in the Xuanmen sect and others were not clear at first, but as time went by, it was obvious to the naked eye that Wei Wuxian was becoming distant and estranged from the Jin and Jiang families, and even the stupidest person could understand his attitude!
Therefore, having lost their concern that the Yiling Patriarch might step in to protect them, the crowd became even more ruthless and fierce in their attack on the Jin and Jiang families!
Especially during the nearly one year that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji spent searching for secret realms in the far west, returning to work on restoring the souls of Zezang and others, and then going to the Burial Mound to rebuild their physical bodies.
Those who realized that Wei Wuxian was not in the Central Plains accelerated their efforts to devour the Jin and Jiang families.
Ultimately, even the strongest ants can kill an elephant; despite their considerable resources, both families succumbed to resentment and defeat under the combined attack of the crowd.
On the same day that Wei Wuxian and others jointly activated the magic array in the Demon-Subduing Cave of the Burial Mound, Jiang Wanyin, under the scorching midday sun, was attacked by the relatives of the victims who came to seek revenge. They recklessly activated their own vengeful ghosts and fierce corpses, and also attracted the endless waves of vengeful ghosts who had died tragically and disappeared in Lotus Pier for more than ten years. This once again showed the world the tragic and terrifying backlash of ten thousand ghosts!
Meanwhile, Lotus Pier, which he longed for, was simultaneously burned in the flames of revenge. When the powerful families who coveted the Jiang family realized what was happening and rushed over, they found only a white ground, resembling a small mass grave, filled with resentment after the fire. The once luxurious and magnificent Lotus Pier and Jiang Wanyin were nowhere to be seen!
