The twenty-seventh episode of the Web Series premiered on July 24, 2019.
Synopsis[]
Wei Wuxian reminds Lan Wangji of their promise to help the poor and seek righteousness all of their lives. He insists that the Qishan Wen Clan remnants are now the poor who need help, and that the victors of the war are now in the wrong. Although he believes that Lan Wangji wishes to fight him, Lan Wangji steps aside to allow Wei Wuxian and the Wens passage away from Qiongqi Path.
Wei Wuxian leads the Wens to live at the Burial Mounds, as he is able to control the resentful energy there.
Meanwhile, Jin Guangshan has called a meeting at Golden Carp Tower to discuss Wei Wuxian's killing of the overseers on Qiongqi Path. Jiang Cheng attempts to apologize for his brother's actions and advocate for Wen Ning and Wen Qing, but other cultivators object. Despite Lan Xichen's added praise of their behavior, Nie Mingjue declares Wen Qing guilty because she did not stop Wen Ruohan's crimes.
Jin Guangshan claims that Wei Wuxian openly claimed not to take Jiang Cheng seriously at Mount Baifeng, but Lan Wangji objects. Jin Guangyao intervenes, suggesting that while he cannot recall, it is possible that he said it.
Jin Zixun claims that he knew Wei Wuxian would kill indiscriminately sooner or later with his cultivation methods, and Mianmian objects that it is not indiscriminate. When she is mocked by Clan Leader Yao and other members of the Lanling Jin Clan, she strips herself of her clan robes and leaves the clan. Lan Wangji departs the meeting to speak with her.
In the meeting, Jin Guangshan says that while Jiang Fengmian favored Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng must establish himself as a strong leader. Jiang Cheng says he will go to the Burial Mounds to speak with his brother.
The Venerated Triad speak afterwards, with Nie Mingjue warning Jin Guangyao not to take after Wei Wuxian. Lan Xichen suggests that Wei Wuxian may be innocent regarding the missing Yin Metal, but Nie Mingjue insists he must be guilty.
At the Cloud Recesses, Lan Qiren chastises Lan Wangji for releasing Wei Wuxian. Lan Qiren insists that he has taught his nephew strictly to prevent him from making the mistakes of his father.
Jin Zixuan asks Jiang Yanli not to accompany her brother to the Burial Mounds, but to stay at Golden Carp Tower with him. He promises to look after her for his whole life.
At the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian continues to attempt to restore Wen Ning's consciousness as the Wens begin to farm the land. Jiang Cheng arrives, and the two quarrel, with Wei Wuxian reminding his brother of the kindness of Wen Qing and Wen Ning, and Jiang Cheng insisting that the cultivation world does not care so long as their surname is Wen.
After learning that Wei Wuxian is attempting to restore Wen Ning's consciousness with the power of the Yin Tiger Tally, Jiang Cheng asks if he truly stole the piece of Yin Metal.[1]

Divergence from the Novel[]
In the novel, Lan Wangji does not confront Wei Wuxian on Qiongqi Path, nor did they make such a promise together. As he is not present, Lan Qiren never scolds him for releasing Wei Wuxian.[2]
During the meeting at Golden Carp Tower, Lan Qiren is not mentioned to have been present, and Jin Zixuan is explicitly mentioned to have been away at the time. Although someone does accuse Wei Wuxian of indiscriminate killing, the person is not Jin Zixun, and those who ridicule Mianmian are members her own clan, not Clan Leader Yao. Moreover, although the clan she leaves is never named, it is not the Lanling Jin Clan.[3]
While Jin Guangshan does accuse Wei Wuxian of badmouthing Jiang Cheng, he claims he did so at the banquet he stormed, not at Mount Baifeng, as Jiang Cheng is not present at the banquet in the novel.[3]
Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng are not staying at Golden Carp Tower at the time, and there is no mention of Jin Zixuan asking her not to go to the Burial Mounds.
When Jiang Cheng visits the Burial Mounds, he becomes angry upon learning of Wei Wuxian's intent to revive Wen Ning, claiming that Wei Wuxian has gone too far. He does not accuse him of stealing the Yin Metal, which does not exist in the novel.[3]
