And thats why he told xue Yang confidently that he wont be able to bring him back. Did Jiang fengmian love Jiang Cheng? Not even lan zhan could reach his spirit.

Manage all your favorite fandoms in one place! I would guess he started to feel betrayed especially when he saw WWX with LWJ because he would have thought that WWX would come find him first. He hated those people and felt WWX was siding with his parents murderers. One thing that did irk me was the scene when WWX was thinking about how he died and was getting really depressed. I think the author provided enough explanation on Wen Ning going beserk. He learnt that WWX was set up, imagine that; JC resented for 13-16 years and then suddenly learnt that his senior brother was innocent. Based on the live action and the anime I assume his action to try and destroy the amulet knowingly causes his death and the resentful energy consumed him and tore him apart. Wei Wuxian did have a gap in his memory in between using the seal in the battle of the nightless city and returning to the bottom of the Burial Mound, but he could remember what happened after . Web Series Why is it that now its like Im supposed to have wronged you?! So the way he behaves at the end, saying "can't I hate you" and "why are you so awesome", etc is a direct result of (a) spending 13 years thinking WWX CHOSE to keep using demonic cultivation for fun and profit until it killed JZX, JYL, thousands of cultivators and then WWX himself, and trying to hate him for that, and (b) he thinks of the core transfer the way Wen Ning talks about it: as WWX being so superior to him and as proof that JC is a clown and worthless. Then again, this is only a theory that I believe in. I was super engaged for the first half, but by the time they were explaining wei yings backstory about how jiang yanli died I was just unconvinced by the plots developments. Live action changed it to censor the gore that would have happened and the anime shows the explosion and the amulet breaking but not a body ripping apart. I'd have to argue that Jiang Wanyin know's it isn't Wei Wuxian's fault, even he knew the Wen's were going to come anyway, Cloud Recesses had been burned down, the war had been declared, "In his heart, Jiang Cheng knew clearly that back in the care of the Xuanwu of Slaughter at Dusk-Creek Mountain, even if Wei Wuxian hadn't saved Lan Wangji, the Wen Sect would have found some reason to come over sooner of later." :(.

Even after he killed his brother in law, although he did not go to comfort him like JYL did, and he did agree to the anti-WWX alliance, he didn't attack WWX. Although Jiang Cheng often lectures Wei Wuxian for his provocative behavior in the hopes of curbing his wild antics, his efforts are typically in vain. Season 1. Series. JC grew up 13-16 years resenting WWX. In the novel I was under the impression that he was in the purgatory, paying for what he did (or wandering as a broken soul because nobody give him a proper burial?). In the second part, they are adults, and they don't realize that they may be in danger (Jin GuangYao and the Jin sect in general is much more insidious than the Wen sect). Finally, and my biggest issue with the novel was the treatment of Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng. Do I deserve to be blinded by all your dazzling splendor?! Manhua When one of them dies before the other at the age of eighty-three, leaving the other to mourn, the one remaining, waits to be reunited with his love. A subreddit dedicated to fans, by fans, of all versions and adaptations of Mo Dao Zu Shi!

The Yunmeng Jiang Sect was obliterated. He is Wuxian and this is his game. Lan Wangji then insisted on taking Wei Wuxian with him to the Cloud Recesses, and Jiang Cheng has no choice but to let him go. Hed been blaming him for so long and the bad blood and complicated history between them runs quite deep e.g. JC has always been envious of WWX because of the perceived favour he held in his fathers eyes and because of the poisoning his mother subjected him to. But out of the two of them, it's JC that bears the brunt of the damage WWX causes, politically. He is struck once with the Discipline Whip on his chest, and Wen Zhuliu melts his Golden Core. [47], Jiang Cheng strikes Jin Ling for crying out for Jin Guangyao to run. IMO, i agree that Wei Ying committed suicide. He also suggests that she ask Wei Wuxian to choose a courtesy name for her future son. Hence he decided to continue living. Snd Shngshu snd lit. !<, I look at that scene differently. hahaha, let's have a look at JC's feelings by the end of the novel shall we Just how much do you owe the Jiang Sect? But in other media it seems like he did not really "died" completely. And as a personal aside, it genuinely pisses me off that as lot of fans who don't like JC are very reductive of him. And this is why men don't get fucking therapy when they need to it heal from thier trauma, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. But we'll see when they complete all 3 seasons . i feel like maybe he committed suicide (at least in the anime series) through destroying the tiger seal and that's what really killed him, and it completely ripped his body apart in the process, probably from the overwhelming wrath that the amulet sucked in. [9], When Jiang Cheng reprimands Wei Wuxian for playing the hero by joining the fight to support Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan, Jiang Fengmian rebukes his son. He seemed quite shook that it did nothing, iirc. 2019. It's hard to start loving someone after 13 years of hating. Bait-and-Switch: When Jiang Fengmian first appeared, the first thing he did was firmly tell Wei Wuxian to kneel properly (as part of his punishment for punching Jin Zixuan), and he gave Jiang Cheng a stern look when the latter protested to his suggestion to dissolve Jiang Yanli's engagement. WWX was in a bad metal state, and Jin Zixuan, a person he disliked and suspected of being in cahoots with the mob trying to kill him was advancing on him. When the two begin hand-to-hand combat, Jiang Cheng originally holds the advantage. Jin Ling divides his time between Yunmeng and Lanling.

Also Wei Wuxian wasn't a threat to the cultivational world, they all knew of his unorthodox cultivation of course, but no one was really treating him as a threat with even people showing up at the foot of the mountain because they wanted to join the "sect of Yiling Patriarch", its only after Jiang Wanyin goes up the mountain, and argues with Wei Wuxian to give the remnants back to the Jin's does Wei Wuxian says to tell everyone he defected from the Sect, and what Jiang Wanyin does instead, he declares Wei Wuxian an enemy of the sect, which then Jin Guangshan uses to raise hostilities.So despite knowing everything he still chooses to hate Wei Wuxian and blames him for everything, we can say this a deep rooted mentality (in the extras, chapter 125 pre canon Madam Yu whips Wei Wuxian for no reason, he tells him he deserved it) when the core transfer is revealed, he can no longer make himself believe that its Wei Wuxians fault, hence he realises more and more of being a 'clown'.Please don't try to say Madam Yu was right in being an abusive personthis is not what she meant at all, she didnt really consider her words at all, in XuanWu cave, if Wen Sect is openly saying to kill two sect heirsdo you think they would have let everyone else leave alive? He answersdoes it matter how I died etc..looking really sad as he said it.

Yes, what WWX was morally just, but it basically spelled his doom and the doom of the barely hanging on at the time Yunmeng Jiang Sect.

(Not sure if it was mentioned in the live action that the fight was fake). [40], When Sisi and Bicao arrive, Jiang Cheng spends a significant amount of time interviewing the two women about Jin Guangyao's misdeeds.

This might have gotten a bit off topic, but I guess my opinion would be just that JC wouldn't accept WWXs death, bcs he believed WWX has something to do, as in apologise to him on his knees and make him feel better and have a scape goat again Ehhh Yanli, why did u have to be an idiot and die Who is gonna make the lotus and disaster boy talk to each other without u .

I don't think it is that he did not feel guilty (he feel guilty enough to autodestruct in order to break the stygian seal), but that he cannot accept that guilt because that mean that his decision to protect the Wens is something to regret. Probably gonna watch the drama and hope for the best next. [44], Jin Ling runs away from Lotus Pier to seek Wei Wuxian, and Jiang Cheng follows to seek his nephew.
