The Founder of Diabolism

Fatal Position

Wei Wuxian brings Jiang Cheng to Yiling to meet Baoshan Sanren, ordering him to keep his blindfold on at all times and introduce himself as the son of Cangse Sanren. As Wei Wuxian waits on the foot of the mountain, he is ambushed by the Wen sect. After the sword has pierced through his chest, he is weakened and thrown into the burial mounds where he is left to die. Lan Wangji arrives at Yiling upon notice and finds Wei Wuxian's bell that has fallen to the ground. In the attempt to search for him, Lan Wangji plays the song of Inquiry back in Gusu, but there has not been any news of his whereabouts, whether dead or alive. Lan Xichen finally returns and the fight against the Wen sect soon begins. The Lan sect holds a meeting in the Cloud Recesses to convince the other sect leaders to join them in their alliance. Jiang Cheng also shows up to express his urge for revenge. Back in the burial mounds, Wei Wuxian survives the fall and gives in to the resentful energy.
