Lan Xichen was pushed back several steps, and before he could understand what had happened in the blink of an eye, Lan Wangji slapped the handsome Guanyin statue in the temple on the back, causing it to tremble and fly towards  the coffin . Nie Mingjue was still examining the body in his hand, which had already tilted its head, when a heavy Guanyin statue came and knocked him back.

Wei Wuxian jumped up and stepped on the chest of the Guanyin statue.  The coffin lid was cracked, so he could only use the Guanyin statue as a  coffin lid to seal the violent Nie Mingjue. Nie Mingjue slapped the statue from below, trying to get out. Wei Wuxian was also shaken, staggering, and almost fell off. He swayed a few times and found that he couldn't draw the talisman at all. He said, "Lan Zhan, hurry up, come up and join me. With one more person's weight, if he hits the Guanyin statue a few more times, it will fall apart again..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Wuxian suddenly felt his body and vision tilted. Lan Wangji had grasped one end of  the coffin and lifted it up.

In other words, with just his left hand, he lifted the heavy wooden  coffin , the two dead people  inside the coffin the Guanyin statue on  the coffin , and Wei Wuxian on the Guanyin statue off the ground.

Wei WuXian was dumbfounded.

Even though he already knew that Lan Wangji had amazing arm strength, this was still... too amazing!

Lan Wangji remained calm, and swung out a silver string with his right hand. The string flew around  the coffin and the Guanyin statue dozens of times, tying the two things together tightly. Then the second string, the third string... After confirming that Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao were sealed tightly, he suddenly released his left hand. One end  of the coffin fell to the ground with a loud noise, and Wei Wuxian also tilted. Lan Wangji rushed over, caught him, and then put him steadily on the ground. The hands of both parties, who were extremely strong, were extremely gentle when they held Wei Wuxian.

 Lan Xichen stared blankly at the coffin wrapped with seven strings , still in a daze. Nie Huaisang stretched out his hand, waved it in front of him, and said in horror: "...Xi, Brother Xichen, are you okay?"

Lan Xichen asked, “Huaisang, just now, did he really try to attack me from behind?”

Nie Huaisang said: "I think I saw it..."

Hearing his hesitation, Lan Xichen said, “Think about it carefully.”

Nie Huaisang said: "If you ask me this, I can't be sure... It really seems..."

Lan Xichen said, “Don’t pretend! Is there one or not?”

Nie Huaisang said awkwardly: "...I don't know, I really don't know!"

Nie Huaisang would only repeat this sentence when he was pushed into a corner. Lan Xichen buried his forehead in his hands, looking like he had a splitting headache and didn't want to talk anymore.

Suddenly, Wei WuXian said, “Brother HuaiSang.”

Nie Huaisang asked, “Ah?”

Wei WuXian asked, “How did Su She stab you just now?”

Nie Huaisang said: "He was running away with Third Brother on his back... and Sect Leader Jin on his back, and I blocked his way, so..."

Wei WuXian said, “Really? I remember that the place where you were standing at that time didn’t seem to be blocking the direction of their escape.”

Nie Huaisang said, "It's not like I bumped into him on purpose to find thorns, right?"

Wei WuXian smiled and said, “I didn’t say that.”

Nie Huaisang asked, "What do you want to say, Brother Wei?"

Wei WuXian said, “I just suddenly connected some things.”

Nie Huaisang asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei WuXian said, “Jin GuangYao said that someone sent him a letter, threatening him to tell the world everything he did in seven days. Let’s assume that he didn’t lie and was telling the truth. Then this person is totally unnecessary.”

He said, "If you want to expose a person's crime, why don't you just expose it directly, instead of specifically informing the person that I have evidence of your crime?"

Nie Huaisang said, "Third brother... didn't Sect Leader Jin say that he wanted this man to commit suicide to apologize?"

Wei WuXian said, “Wake up, it’s obvious that Jin GuangYao will not commit suicide to apologize, what’s the point of doing this? It seems meaningless. However, would a person who can dig out these old secrets of Jin GuangYao really make a useless move? This unnecessary move must have a purpose, to promote something, to give birth to something.”

Lan Xichen was stunned and asked, “Induce labor? What is that?”

Lan Wangji said in a deep voice: "Jin Guangyao's murderous intention."

If it were the usual Zewu-Jun, it would be impossible for him not to think of this step, but he probably didn't have the leisure time to think about it at this moment.

Wei WuXian said, “That’s right. It was this letter that pushed Jin GuangYao’s murderous intent to an unprecedented level. Didn’t he say that he should wait for his death in seven days? Then he should strike first and wipe out all the main forces of the Hundred Clan at the mass grave within seven days to see who dies first.”

Lan Xichen asked, “You mean, this is what the messenger wanted to achieve? Just to urge him to take action?”

Wei WuXian said, “That’s what I thought.”

Lan Xichen shook his head and said, “…So what exactly does this messenger want to do? Is he going to expose Jin Guangyao, or massacre all the families?”

Wei WuXian said, “It’s very simple. Look at what happened after the siege failed. When everyone gathered at the Lotus Pier, at the height of their excitement, SiSi and Bicao arrived. I don’t think the arrival of these two witnesses was a coincidence. Then all the things piled up and suddenly exploded.”

After a pause, Wei WuXian said, “He not only wants to ruin Jin GuangYao’s reputation, he also wants to make Jin GuangYao an enemy of everyone. And he wants to kill him in one go—there is absolutely no room for reversal.”

Nie Huaisang said: "It sounds like this person has been planning this for a long time."

Wei WuXian looked at him and suddenly asked, “By the way, isn’t Chi Feng Zun’s body kept by Sect Leader Nie?”

Nie Huaisang said, "I was the one who kept it originally. But I just received news tonight that my elder brother's body in Qinghe has disappeared. Otherwise, why would I rush to Qinghe in a hurry and be caught by Su She halfway..."

Wei WuXian continued, “Sect Master Nie, I heard that you often go to the Gusu Lan Clan and the Lanling Jin Clan, is that right?”

Nie Huaisang said, “Yes.”

Wei WuXian asked: “So you really don’t know Mo XuanYu?”

Nie Huaisang asked, “Ah?”

Wei WuXian said, “I remember the first time I met you after the sacrifice was successful. You looked like you didn’t know me at all and even asked Han GuangJun who I was. Mo XuanYu had also pestered Jin GuangYao in the past and even read the manuscripts in Jin GuangYao’s collection. And you often went to Jin ZongZhu to complain. Even if you were not familiar with Mo XuanYu, you really had never met him?”

Nie Huaisang scratched his hair and said, "Brother Wei, Jinling Terrace is so big, I can't possibly have seen everyone there. Even if I have, I can't remember them all. And..." He looked a little embarrassed and said, "You know what Mo Xuanyu's identity is. It's a little... Lanling Jin Clan tries to keep it secret, so it's not surprising that I haven't seen him. Brother Xichen may not have seen him either."

Wei WuXian said, “Oh, that’s true. ZeWu-Jun doesn’t know Mo XuanYu either.”

Nie Huaisang said, "Isn't that right? And I don't quite understand. Even if I have seen Mo Xuanyu before, why should I pretend not to know him? Is there any need for that?"

Wei WuXian smiled and said, “Nothing, I just felt strange and asked casually.”

But in his heart he said: "Of course I want to test this 'Mo Xuanyu' to see if he is the real Mo Xuanyu."

How could Mo Xuanyu, who was described as timid and cowardly by others, have the courage to commit suicide?

Why was Chi Fengzun's left hand thrown out? Could it be that Jin Guangyao accidentally let it out?

And why did he appear at Mo Village where he sacrificed himself, allowing the newly reborn Wei Wuxian to run into him, instead of appearing somewhere else?

Chi Fengzun's body was buried by the Qinghe Nie family. Did Nie Huaisang, who always respected his elder brother, really not notice that the body had been replaced for all these years?

Wei Wuxian was more inclined to believe this situation.

Maybe before Nie Mingjue's death, Nie Huaisang really knew nothing. But after Nie Mingjue's death, he knew everything. Including that Nie Mingjue's body had been replaced, and the true identity of the third brother he trusted in the past.

He tried to find his elder brother's body, but after several years and much hard work, he only found a left hand.

He was stuck at this step, with no guidance for the next step. Moreover, this left hand was extremely fierce and difficult to subdue, and keeping it by his side would only cause bloodshed. So, he thought of a person who was best at dealing with this kind of thing and solving this kind of problem.

The Yiling Patriarch.

But the Yiling Patriarch has been torn into pieces. What should we do?

Then, he thought of another person, Mo Xuanyu who was driven off Jinlintai.

Perhaps in order to get some information from Mo Xuanyu, Nie Huaisang had talked to him before, and learned from the distressed Mo Xuanyu that he had read a fragment of a forbidden spell by Jin Guangyao, which recorded an ancient evil spell. He then encouraged Mo Xuanyu, who was being bullied by his tribe at the time, to retaliate by using the forbidden spell of offering a sacrifice.

Which evil ghost should we invite?

Of course it’s the Yiling Patriarch.

Mo Xuanyu, who could no longer endure this kind of life, finally activated the blood formation, and Nie Huaisang took the opportunity to throw out the hot potato that he was about to lose: Chi Fengzun's left hand.

From then on, the plan was successfully implemented. He no longer had to go through the trouble of searching for Nie Mingjue's remaining limbs. He could leave all the dangerous and troublesome tasks to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. He only had to keep a close eye on their movements.

When Jin Ling, Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi and other juniors encountered the strange cat-killing incident along the way, it was clearly someone deliberately creating the strange phenomenon. Coupled with the non-existent "hunter" who showed them the way in the nearby village, there is no doubt that the purpose was to lure these young people from noble families who were naive to the world into Yicheng. Imagine if Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji had been careless and failed to protect them intact, if these young people from noble families had any problems in Yicheng, the account would most likely be attributed to Jin Guangyao today.

In short, the more chips that can be used to convict Jin Guangyao, the better; the more mistakes that can be made to induce this cautious villain and the more handles that can be left behind, the better; and the more miserable his death in the end, the better.

Lan Wangji used the tip of Bichen's sword to flip over the black box next to  the coffin , glanced at the spell inscribed on it, and said to Wei Wuxian, "Head."

This box was supposed to have been used to hold Nie Mingjue's head. After Jin Guangyao moved the head from Jinlin Terrace, he probably buried it here.

Wei WuXian nodded to him and said, “Sect Master Nie, do you know what was originally in this  coffin ?”

Nie Huaisang said, "How would I know this? However, looking at the appearance of Third Brother... no, Sect Master Jin, it must be something very important to him."
