Lan Wangji knew in his heart that his father was going through some unspeakable inner struggle at this moment. It was not that his father did not want to avenge his mother, but the timing was not right and he had to endure it.

And all of this is hidden beneath my father's seemingly calm appearance.

Qing Heng Jun had long since uncovered the truth behind the deaths of his wife and mentor. However, that period coincided with a crucial period for the Lan Clan, as they purged traitors and reclaimed power. As the Lan Clan reorganized and prepared to launch a counterattack against the Jin Clan, the Wen Clan attacked the Cloud Recesses. Qing Heng Jun was consumed by inner demons, and with Lan Wangji's departure for Mount Qishan and Lan Xichen's disappearance, revenge was repeatedly postponed.

Until now, hundreds of immortal sects have joined together to attack Wen, and Lord Qingheng can only postpone the matter of revenge.

At this time, Nie Mingjue stood up and shouted in a stern voice: "Jin Guangshan! We are currently in the Sun Shooting Campaign, and we will not bother with you for the time being, but if you dare to do anything unjust again, I, Nie, will immediately kill you at Baxia!" Ever since he recovered his memory, Nie Mingjue wanted to kill the shameless Jin Guangshan immediately at Baxia, but considering that it was the anti-Wen period, if his own forces were damaged, the consequences would be extremely serious, so he had to endure it temporarily and put the overall situation first.

Jin Guangshan, sweat dripping from his face, weakly assured, "Master Nie, please rest assured! Our most important task right now is to fight the Wen family with all our might. I, Jin, will never do anything inappropriate at this time."

The Wen family was now like a heavy mountain weighing down everyone's hearts. How could they spare the energy to fight among themselves? Thinking of the Wen clan's ongoing struggle, they were forced to put aside their past grudges for the time being. If the Sun Shooting Campaign failed, not only would they cause trouble for Jin Guangshan, but none of them present would survive!

Lan Wangji watched them fighting each other, it was really a good show. The hundreds of immortal families were now like dogs that had lost their homes, which pleased him very much. There was a hint of indifference in Lan Wangji's eyes, but if you looked closely, there seemed to be a subtle joy hidden in it.

Qing Hengjun was the only one without memories of the latter part of his past life. He held a high position and held a high generational level, so he could only suppress his resentment and directly ask the key question: "Since you participated in the Sun Shooting Campaign in your past life, how did you achieve victory?"

Lan Qiren nearly pulled his beard off as he looked at his brother in shame. He glared angrily at Jin Guangshan and Jiang Wanyin, then turned to look at Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen, not daring to speak.

Lan Xichen turned to look at his brother, a heavy look in his eyes. He stroked his forehead and gave a helpless smile. He knew that his brother probably had no interest in anything at the moment, not even himself. He and Wangji were probably the first to regain their memories. He and Wangji did nothing, just like in their previous life.

Although he still contributed his strength during the Sun Shooting Campaign, it was all done to protect the Lan Clan disciples, and nothing else. After all, he had promised that person not to interfere.

Lan Xichen: "In my previous life, it was Wei Ying, Master Wei, who used the Ghostly Arts to resist, and Jin Guangyao, who secretly carried out undercover operations and assassinations, that ultimately ensured the victory of the Sun Shooting Campaign."

Qing Hengjun: "Where are they now? Why have I never heard of these two people?"

Lan Qiren drank his tea silently. Under the circumstances, he had no choice but to speak. He put down his teacup and said, "There is no trace of them in this world."

Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji each tightened their grips on Shuoyue and Bichen, simultaneously increasing their strength. Their eyes met, a tacit understanding between them. One was reluctant due to a promise not to interfere, the other was reluctant due to personal reasons.

Lan Xichen continued, “Ever since my memories returned, each family has searched everywhere, but they haven’t been found in either Yiling or Yunping City. We’ve searched everywhere, but there’s no trace of them.”

All the immortal families were in agony. One cultivator said, "Not only that, our investigation has discovered that the Wen Qing lineage, who had been friends with the Yiling Patriarch in the previous life, had mysteriously disappeared before the Sun Shooting Campaign." Everyone knew that if they had retained their memories, they would most likely have chosen to remain in seclusion. After all, no one would make the same mistake twice.

Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke up, "Heh, shouldn't we ask Second Young Master Lan and the Lan family about this? Isn't the sudden appearance of the Xuanyuan clan in this life quite puzzling? Such a family never appeared in the previous life, and they disappeared on the eve of the Sun Shooting Campaign. Don't you find it suspicious? And in Xuanwu Cave, that Xuanyuan Yue even went out of his way to save Second Young Master Lan!"

Three years had passed since the Sun Shooting Campaign, and a lingering question still lingered in Jiang Cheng's mind. As time passed, he became more and more convinced that there must be some hidden connection between the mysterious Xuanyuan clan and Wei Ying.

Jiang Cheng's words plunged everyone present into deep thought. Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen frowned, knowing full well that what Jiang Cheng said was not without basis. But how could they possibly let everyone have their way?

Lan Xichen directly retorted, "If the Xuanyuan clan is indeed related to Young Master Wei, then so what? Didn't everyone send people to look for them? Did they find them?"

Everyone came to their senses. They had already looked for Xuanyuan and the others, but there was no news. Even if they knew that the two might be related, what was the use if they couldn't find the people.

Lan Qiren was about to ask, but Qing Hengjun reached out his hand just in time and gently stopped him.

Lan Qiren shifted his gaze from Qing Heng Jun to Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji. He noticed that they both had a look of indifference on their faces, as if they were completely unconcerned with the current situation.

Lan Qiren looked at the ugly faces of the aristocratic families in the tent. If it were him, he probably wouldn't want to get involved in this family dispute!

This made Lan Qiren feel extremely disappointed, even a little powerless. Lan Qiren's once upright back slowly bent, and a deep sense of decadence and powerlessness appeared on his face.

A young man from an aristocratic family said, "Young Master Xuanyuan was last seen in Xuanwu Cave, specifically to rescue Second Young Master Lan. I think Second Young Master Lan should know his whereabouts!"

When they learned that Lan Wangji might know Wei Ying's whereabouts, everyone's eyes immediately brightened and they looked at Lan Wangji with expectation. At present, the aristocratic families have regarded Xuanyuan Yue as Wei Ying and will also regard him as a lifeline.

Lan Wangji's fingers gently stroked the Bichen Sword, and he looked at Jiang Cheng with displeasure. He replied in a cold voice, "I don't know!"

Everyone knew that asking Lan Wangji would probably yield nothing, so they turned to Qing Hengjun. "Sect Master Lan, I heard that Sect Master Xuanyuan was also a student at the Lan Clan during his time there. I wonder if Sect Master Xuanyuan left behind anything..."

Jiang Cheng suddenly interrupted, "In his previous life, Sect Master Lan died in the fire at Cloud Recesses. His heroic sacrifice in that disaster was heartbreaking. I wonder how Sect Master Lan managed to miraculously survive this time."
