Wei WuXian, the infamous family patriarch who was banished to death by his brother Jiang Cheng, returns to life 16 years later, reincarnating in Mo XuanYu's body for revenge.

A group of cultivators investigate a mystery about a soul-eating beast that falls into a trap set by Jin Ling, a member of the Lin sect, who later encounters Wei WuXian.

After Wei Wuxian leaves Mo Residence, he arrives at Dafan mountain where he encounters the Dancing God. While dealing with the Dancing God, he meets with two old friends.

Two disciples begin to spread rumours about Meng Yao's illegitimacy.

Wei WuXian wants to investigate some mountains, but Lan WangJi takes him to the bookstore as punishment.

The trio spend the night drinking wine, but Lan WangJi discovers them and Wei WuXian casts a spell on him.
