CAUGHT IN THE SPIDER’S WEB

In the aftermath of the censer’s spell, Mo Ran awakens on Dragonblood Mountain beside a slumbering Chu Wanning, everything between them forever changed. Yet before he can explain himself, Hua Binan—the mastermind behind their plight—arrives on the scene and kidnaps Chu Wanning, leaving Mo Ran utterly alone.

Down the mountain, a man with Mo Ran’s face has been committing heinous crimes, and the cultivation world clamors for blood. Helpless to rescue Chu Wanning and fearful of the consequences for Sisheng Peak, Mo Ran returns to face the justice of Tianyin Pavilion and the darkness of his buried past.

Meanwhile, trapped in Hua Binan’s grasp, Chu Wanning is haunted by dreams of his past life—the life he shared with Taxian-jun. What he discovers in them stands to change everything he thought he knew about Mo Ran’s bloody path to becoming the cruel tyrant he once was.
