Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Jiang Yanli wiped out all the small families that were vassal states of the Jin family with just one move. No matter whether they were truly obedient to her and Jin Ling, at least in the short term, everyone would be in trouble.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Jin decisively sent Jin Guangshan away. Meng Yao, who had apparently disappeared, also took the opportunity to intervene, and Jin Guangshan still died in a very dishonorable way. The reputation of the Jin family plummeted instantly, and even many of the guests under their wing left.

Mrs. Jin was no match for the Jin family's side branches, so Jiang Yanli took the opportunity to move back to Jinlingtai. She had the support of the Jiang family and Wei Wuxian, and was also the mother of the young clan leader Jin Ling. Even though Mrs. Jin had been running Jinlingtai for a long time, she was unable to cope with the situation.

However, Jiang Yanli did not want to confront her mother-in-law, but the two of them could not continue to smile at each other because of the matter of Qiongqi Road. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lived in peace tacitly and had no intention of confronting each other, which caught those side branches with ulterior motives off guard.

But then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, holding the marrow cleansing recipe, threw out the bait of finding a study partner for Jin Ling. It would be difficult for those side branches to gain influence in a short period of time.

Jiang Wanyin personally taught those skills from Jiang Cheng, and he could only teach them to Jin Ling. Now Jin Ling is one of the best masters among his peers - the reason why he is not ranked first is because there is little A Yuan above him.

Now that Wen Ninghe has reunited with everyone, the Wen clan members who had hastily fled to Lingnan to find shelter have returned to the Central Plains again and settled down completely in Yunmeng.

As for little Ayuan, he doesn't need to change his surname now. Jiang Wanyin personally vouched for the Dafanshan lineage of the Wen family that day, and told the story of Wen Qing and Wen Ning, the brother and sister, who saved the Yunmeng Jiang family's lives. The Jiang family is not powerful now, but it is not a family that any aristocratic family can challenge. So even if some people still talk about the relatives and friends who died at the hands of Wei Wuxian on Qiongqi Road that day, they dare not continue to complain.

Of course, the Jin family cleaned out a large number of corrupt officials and Jin Guangshan's diehard followers who refused to obey orders. The inside story of Meng Yao poisoning Jin Guangshan could no longer be concealed. Jin Ling just got the title of Jin Sect Master, and he had to wait until he came of age to officially inherit the entire Jin family. The news that Jin Guangshan personally framed Meng Yao in order to abolish Meng Yao's qualification for inheritance spread throughout the world.

When Jiang Wanyin heard the rumor, she just snorted coldly and said, "No matter what happened on Jinling Terrace, it doesn't seem strange."

Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying originally wanted to remind him that now was a good time to search for Meng Yao, but after thinking about Nie Huaisang, they said nothing.

As it turned out, Nie Huaisang was indeed quite capable. Not long after, he sent a message to Jiang Wanyin and Wei Wuxian saying that Meng Yao had been captured by him.

It's a pity that Meng Yao has committed many minor mistakes but none major ones, so it's not easy to punish him, especially now that the charge of parricide has been preliminarily cleared, but it has not been announced to the public in a high-profile manner.

Jiang Wanyin and Madam Jin were far apart but they were in sync with each other. They both did not want to let Meng Yao go so easily, but they could not frame her with fabricated charges. Moreover, before they could come up with a solution, Meng Yao was taken back to the Cloud Recesses by Lan Huan.

Jiang Wanyin was very angry, but Wei Wuxian advised him: "This is already a very good result. Besides, there are many things that Meng Yao did not do. We cannot use things that happened in another world to punish an innocent person."

Jiang Wanyin spat at him directly, "Okay, okay, you, the victim, are a saint, and I am a vengeful villain, okay!"

Jiang Cheng was quite satisfied with the result. "Now it seems that the evil things that Jin Guangyao did in the other world were not entirely initiated by him."

"Let's talk about Jin Zixuan first. Now that we have searched Xue Yang's soul, we know that Jin Zixuan's death has nothing to do with Meng Yao. Xue Yang was just very curious about Wen Ning, so he wanted to test his puppetry technique on Wen Ning. Jin Zixuan was indeed implicated innocently."

"We can't accept this result, but it's already the fact. Meng Yao really has no intention of taking action against Jin Zixuan."

"Let's talk about Jin Guangshan."

"We all know very well how Jin Guangshan treated Meng Yao. Even though Meng Yao later returned to his ancestral home, it was because of Jin Guangshan's contribution in the Sun Shooting Campaign. Moreover, after Meng Yao joined the Jin family, he was not named after the 'Zi' generation, but instead named after his father's 'Guang'. This shows that Jin Guangshan used him purely for his own benefit from the beginning."

"Later, Jin Zixuan died unexpectedly. Meng Yao was the only illegitimate child who was recognized by the outside world at that time. At least Mrs. Jin never relaxed her surveillance and investigation on him. Jin Guangshan certainly never relaxed his supervision on him in order to consolidate his power. It is natural for Meng Yao to feel resentment towards Jin Guangshan."

Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing also somewhat agreed with Jiang Cheng's words. After all, even though they had encountered the incident on Qiongqi Road, it was because Jin Guangshan had bad intentions and took the lead in causing trouble among the hundreds of immortal families. Now that Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning's injustices were cleared, the Wen family's Dafanshan lineage could walk openly in the outside world with the support of Jiang Wanyin. Both Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing were very satisfied with this result.

Wei Wuxian even tried to persuade Jiang Wanyin, who still looked indignant, “Do you think Meng Yao can really get away with it in the Cloud Recesses?”

"Perhaps you haven't heard of the deeds of Zewu Jun and Second Young Master Lan's parents, but I have heard of them. It is said that Qingheng Jun brought Madam Lan back from his trip, and although everyone in the Cloud Recesses accepted the fact that Madam Lan was a casual cultivator, she later discovered that several elders in the Lan Clan had a grudge against her."

"Mrs. Lan was determined to take revenge, and she took revenge directly on those elders, but she offended the entire Lan clan. Lord Qingheng refused to divorce Mrs. Lan, and he couldn't face the dead clan members, so he imprisoned Mrs. Lan in the cold room."

"Mrs. Lan, who gave birth to two sons for the Lan family, is like this. Meng Yao doesn't have the same relationship as Mrs. Lan now. Moreover, Mr. Lan Qiren has probably already determined that although Meng Yao is not a treacherous villain, he is definitely not upright. Therefore, even if Meng Yao can move around in the Cloud Recesses, he is probably no different from a prisoner."

Except for Shi Ying, everyone present, including Wen Ning, had personally experienced the rules of the Lan family. Jiang Wanyin couldn't help but turn pale, obviously remembering the time when they went down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits and were caught drinking secretly, and were beaten with fifty boards.

Wei Wuxian didn't care that Jiang Wanyin exposed his secrets in front of everyone. Anyway, he benefited a lot from it. Not only did he experience the cold spring that only the direct descendants of the Lan family could experience, but he was also the first to discover the Yin Iron fragments.

Thinking of the Yin Iron, Wei Wuxian looked around cautiously. After asking Jiang Cheng to set up the barrier, he lowered his voice and asked Shi Ying, "Master Shi, I remember that when we were at Qiongqi Road, you collected the fragments of the Yin Iron, right?"

Shi Ying nodded, then took out the restored Yin Iron from his sleeve and placed it on the table for everyone to see.

"This Yin Iron itself is a top-grade magic weapon that can absorb spiritual energy, Yin energy, and resentment. Of course, its greatest and best effect is purification. No matter whether it is spiritual energy, Yin energy, or resentment, as long as it is absorbed by it, it can be purified into something that anyone can absorb and refine without bringing any bad things."

"Young Master Wei absorbed the resentment and Yin energy for his own use that day, but this method of use is really crude, damaging both the body and the mind, and there will be endless troubles. But if the Yin energy and resentment are first injected into this Yin Iron to purify it, then there will be no trouble when using it for cultivation."
