魔道祖师 [Mó Dào Zǔ Shī] #11
Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, Vol. 11
Lan Wangji is deeply concerned about Wei Wuxian, but despite the bond they share, he's unable to deter him from using dark and dangerous powers. Before the two of them part ways, Wei Wuxian insists he's perfectly in control—a claim that is soon put to the test.
On his way to attend a grand banquet, Wei Wuxian discovers his invitation is a deadly ruse. Jin Zixuan, cousin to the heir of the Jin clan of Lanling, has prepared a huge ambush to claim Wei Wuxian's head. Lives are lost in the tragedy that follows, and though Wei Wuxian escapes alive, things swiftly spiral out of control. Three thousand cultivators swear an oath to slay the Yiling Patriarch, as frenzied corpses bring hell to Nightless City!

How lucky are we to get this story as a novel, manhua, manga, donghua, and live action 🥰. The manhua is a little choppy as others have pointed out and feels like it’s missing something but I still adore it. At this point I just think of it as a beautiful art book of one of my favorite stories. Also, four pages of WY and LZ “nuzzling” 🥰

Screaming, crying, throwing up! Rereading MDZS will always be the death of me.
Yiling Laozu's vulnerability in front of Hanguang-Jun and their conversation about that nice road to go by will always strike me. He’s not choosing the demonic path because he wants to, but because it’s the only way left for him to protect the people who rely on him. No one has ever given him a clear, righteous path where he can protect others without being judged or condemned. It’s heartbreaking because you can tell he’s not trying to be defiant—he’s just trying to hold onto his humanity in a world that won’t let him. Because all in all, there is no such road.
Also, the Wen remnants they so wanted to purge, has once again resurrected for a moment just to save them, the same people who wants them eliminated. It's so sad! I'm not crying, you are!

“Why can’t the world give me a broad, easy road? One that allows me to protect the ones I care about without needing to cultivate a demonic path?”
It’s always hit or miss when a manhua adapts a novel, and while this one rushes through some beats and cuts a few corners, it’s better than most. The pacing can get choppy, but the core emotional threads hold up. The art still does a good job capturing the mood, and the character expressions land where they need to. There’s a clear effort to keep the story intact even when the structure starts to buckle under the pressure of fitting everything in.
This volume leans heavily into emotional fallout, moral lines, and complex loyalties. You can feel the story starting to reach a boiling point, with the tension between characters bubbling just under the surface. Wei Wuxian’s inner turmoil gets plenty of space, and his dynamic with Lan Wangji continues to be the quiet anchor in the middle of the chaos. There’s a lot going on here—old ghosts, blurred lines, the kind of loyalty that hurts more than it heals—but the moments of warmth and unexpected humor help keep it from drowning in its own drama.
Even with the pacing issues, there’s real weight behind the choices characters make. You can tell the creative team respects the source material even if the adaptation can’t always keep up with it. It’s not flawless, but it’s engaging, emotional, and still very much worth the read.

La historia pasa tan rápido a diferencia de la novela, pero igual me encanta demasiado ver las ilustraciones.
Esta es una de mis partes tristes porque aparece la confesión y muerte de los Wen 🤧

Ay, tengo la impresión de que no lo he disfrutado todo lo que podría porque me da la sensación de que el manhua ha rusheado toda esta parte de la trama. Escenas que son preciosas e incluso capítulos enteros están resumidos en una página escasa e, incluso, algunos saltos/elipsis son confusos o demasiado bruscos. Entiendo que el formato cambia y que hay que contar la historia, pero eso, no me ha dejado del todo satisfecho.

Definitivamente me voy a tener que leer los libros si me siguen dando información a goteo.
Me quedo con que Yanli hasta su último momento de vida creía que su hermano cultivacional Wuxian y con Jiang Cheng, los tres deberían haber cerrado filas para alejarse de todos.
Maravilloso la parte en que disfrutan antes de la boda y merecido el destrozo de la cuidad por todo lo que les hicieron.
Lan Zhang como siempre maravilloso.
En esta entrega nos muestran una perspectiva de la historia en que siempre dejan de malo a Wei Wuxian, pero todos se confabulan en hacerle daño y modificar la narrativa, es por eso que a la generación más joven les cuesta entender y a pesar de escuchar historias terribles de Wei Wuxian, al estar cerca de él se relacionan de manera amigable, cosa que les complica cuando llegan los más adultos. Es una pena por Jin Ling ya que la tiene mas compleja que todos los demás, es básicamente su tío pero el responsable de la muerte de sus padres.

DIOS MÍO DE MI CORAZÓN!!!
Pasó demasiadas cosas en este volumen, vimos lo que le ocurrió en su primera vida a Wei Wuxian y como terminó todo, y en el presente de como algunos secretos empezaron a salir a la luz, encajando las piezas del rompecabezaaaaaas.
¡Qué tremendo volumen! Lo disfruté demasiado.
Los momentos de Wei Wuxian y Lan Wangji son mil vidas para mi alma ❤️✨️

Este volumen ha tenido escenas muy variadas, como es normal con MDZS, ha empezado más triste(muerte de Jin Zixuan, Jiang Yanli, Wen Qing) y la escena en la que Jin Ling salía llorando me rompió el corazón.... Jin Ling nunca falla en ponerme triste. También se ha visto la revelación del parentesco entre Jin Guanyao y su esposa/hermana. Es verdad que es un personaje con muchas malas acciones pero ver cómo todos lo empiezan a odiar de un momento a otro nunca me dejará de sorprender. Al menos Lan Zhan y Wei Wuxian han tenido algún que otro momento romántico... WEI WUXIAN TOMÓ LA CINTA DE LAN ZHAN. Y más tarde dijo "tendría que haber seguido haciéndome el desmayado. Así habría permanecido en sus brazos el resto del viaje". TREMENDO. Me encantan

Este volumen muestra uno de los momentos más desgarradores de la historia. Lo que ocurrió en el pasado y llevó a la muerte del Patriarca de Yiling. Sus errores, sus pesares... Su miedo. Lo vemos en un estado vulnerable impropio de él, porque siempre fue confiado, incluso arrogante. Por fin la historia comienza a cerrarse rumbo al clímax, donde todo lo ocurrido tendrá respuesta. Además, como un extra, el momento especial compartido entre Wei Wuxian y Lan Zhan en la barca demuestra lo inseparables que se han vuelto.
Muy conmovedor, sin duda. Está muy resumida, eso sí. Se entiende mejor luego de haber leído la novela. Las ilustraciones son bellísimas.

Was really excited about this one arriving. It has one of my favorite scenes in it, in which Wei calls out the Su Clan but also gets closure with the Wen Clan corpses. We also get more soft moments between our boys and a nice plot drop upon returning to Lotus Pier.
Always recommend MDZS. It's both a classic and a staple. We love Wei Wuxian in this household.

Вот что не нравится - это то, что непонятно, когда идет флешбэк, а когда линия в настоящем, тем более что вспоминают и то же самое место и тех же самых участников. Это, наверное, п��имерно как в новелле с именами - тоже путаешься всегда.

A-Yuan!!! not wanting to call Wei Ying mom but thinking of him as mom in a way xD Wen Qing's death always makes me so sad. also the scene of the cover is always so impressive though I love the animated version of it the most. I can't wait for volume 12!!!

3.25 rounded down
Feels like the most rushed volume out of the bunch. I was really happy I've read the light novel before, because there were times I felt it was hard to follow, even more so with just the faces and clothes of the characters to remember who they were.

The bias the other cultivators show against Wei Wuxian makes my blood boil but I love how it results in Lan Zhan being protective over him. There were some really sweet moments between them in this volume that I absolutely loved! 🥰

Finally passed the parts that are all heartbreaking. Now we are at the park where hypocrisy is at least on the side of justice this time. There's a lot of irony with mob mentality in the selfish nature of humans. Makes me feel really bad for the people who suffer...

No entiendo por qué razón en este volumen parece que empezaron a correr para contar algunos de los puntos más importantes de la trama del libro. Se quedan detalles importantes por fuera o literalmente se los saltan, algo que no me ha parecido que suceda en los volúmenes anteriores.
