Are you confused?

What happen to Wen Ning and his sister after the war against Wen clan?

Yalthamen said:


Wen Ning is the ferocious corpse seen in S1 E2. You'll see him referred to as the "Ghost General" and when he appears, everyone (including WWX) is shocked to see him, having thought his corpse had already been destroyed.

As for how all that happened, it's spoilers, it will be shown later, but you can PM me if you want spoilers lol

Will we get flashback arc occasionally? Or is season 1 the last major flaschback arc?

PsyCode said:
I don't get the timeline in th first episode. First we see the defeat of the Wen Clan (so -15 years?) then 5 years later or sth??? and suddenly we are with the rebirthed Wei Wuxian. Is this about right? what was the point of the second part (talk about 2000 watchtowers)?

Yalthamen said:


Yes the first episode is confusing. Both seasons have confusing first episodes haha. You're talking about S2, right?

S2 basically begins with a summary of the Sunshot Campaign, the war against the Wens, which is almost 20 years before the present. That scene took place during WWX's first life.

It shows Lan Xichen, Nie Mingjue, and Jin Guangyao (a new character who you didn't meet in S1) working together to defeat Wen Ruohan, and that basically gives you a summary of why those 3 became sworn brothers. Since Nie Mingjue was the QingheNie Sect Leader, Lan Xichen became the GusuLan Sect Leader, and Jin Guangyao became the LanlingJin Sect Leader, these 3 were known as the Venerated Triad.

Do you remember at the end of S1 E15, it flashed back to the present real quick, and Lan Xichen told Lan Wangji he was going to visit Sect Leader Jin in Koi Tower? That's the scene you see at the beginning of S2 E1, Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao chatting at Koi Tower. Remember, in Season 1 we didn't meet Jin Guangyao. Jin Guangshan was Sect Leader and his son Jin Zixuan was heir. We know from S1E2 that Jin Zixuan was Jin Ling's father and died when Jin Ling was a baby, thus we have Jin Guangyao - who is not only LanlingJin Sect Leader, but from that convo with Lan Xichen, you learn he is "chief cultivator" and currently sitting on top of the entire cultivation world.

Then it flashes to WWX, but we are still in the present, it's just showing us what Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are doing in the Cloud Recesses while Lan Xichen is at Koi Tower chatting with Jin Guangyao about watch towers.

The only flashback during S2E1 is the Sunshot Campaign at the beginning. Everything else takes place in the present.

Ok, thanks.
this cleared up alot, been a while scince i watched season one and mixed up Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji(rather thought they were 1 person)... uuups xD

What confuses me even more is the amount of different names people get called, like Name, Title, Nickname and stuff ^^

But i think i got the gist of it now, i'll probably start reading the novel by episode five when i get tired of waiting for the next episode haha

BTW, I updated my reply since you quoted me, and made it more understandable haha

Thanks for all these infos, the anime is a masterpiece but it's sure confusing

Besides that, I have two questions :
- I know that, in the present, Wei Wuxian is "reincarnated" into Mo Xuanyu's body. But does anyone know if Mo Xuanyu is related to the main clans ?

- If I'm correct, most of S1 events take place 20 years ago. But, in the present, Lan Wangji didn't seem to have aged ? (as well as other GusuLan's clan members)
