Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (The Comic) Vol. 10
Representatives from the cultivation clans gather for a Siege Hunt at Mount Baifeng, where the festivities provide an opportunity for all to show off their skills.

It just might be someone closer to him than he realizes…

Mo Dao Zu Shi Vol. 10 is literally unhinged in the best way the angst hits like a truck and the emotional payoff?? I was NOT prepared.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have me spiraling, screaming into the void this is peak drama, peak romance, easy 5 stars, no notes.

My girl Mianmian standing up to Jin Guangshan and the clans at the Golden Carp Tower (one of my favorite scenes in The Untamed) and she’s not even mentioned by name in the manhua 😭 At least she’s recognized by Lan Zhan after she leaves. I’m still wondering what was said in the conversation between her and LZ.
We get the kiss and LZ meeting A-Yuan
“This time I’m no longer alone.” 🥰🥰🥰

“No matter what I say, no one will ever believe me. Whatever I deny, they’ll insist I did. Whatever I admit, they’ll just twist to fit their narrative. But…this time, I’m no longer alone.”

“Wei WuXian! Don’t you understand? When you’re standing on their side, you’re the bizarre genius, the miraculous hero, the force of the rebellion, the flower that blooms alone. But the second your voice differs from theirs, you’ve lost your mind, you’ve ignored morality, you’ve walked the crooked path.”

"Wei Wuxian! Don't you get it?! When you're on their side, you're a strange hero, a unique knight-errant, a force to be reckoned with who's in league of his own! But the second you voice an opinion that differs from theirs, you're an immoral maniac--a deviant who shuns the orthodox path!"
The story picks up right where the last volume ended and doesn’t waste time diving back into the action—or rather, the dialogue. Like a lot of manhua adaptations, the pacing here feels like someone hit fast-forward. Key moments flash by with barely any buildup, and scenes jump from one to the next without much connective tissue. It’s more telling than showing this time around, with conversations doing most of the heavy lifting while the action gets sidelined. For a series packed with dramatic tension and supernatural combat, it’s a bit frustrating to see those moments trimmed down or skipped entirely.
Despite the pacing issues, there are flashes of emotional depth that still land. The bond between characters continues to be the real heart of the story, with quieter scenes of reflection and conflict offering some of the most memorable beats. And while the plot charges ahead with minimal breathing room, there are still a few standout character moments—particularly in the way relationships shift, evolve, or quietly fracture. The way misunderstandings ripple through group dynamics hits just as hard as any battle scene could, which says a lot about how well these characters are written.
The art style isn’t my usual preference, but somehow it works here. There’s a fluidity to it that carries the emotion even when the panels get crowded or chaotic. Still, I can’t help but wish the storytelling gave those visuals more space to shine. This volume has its strong points, but they’re often buried under rushed transitions and dialogue-heavy exposition. For fans committed to the series, it’s worth reading—but if you’re hoping for a more balanced blend of action and story, this one might leave you wanting more.

Jiang Cheng: When you’re on their side… you’re a strange hero, a unique knight-errant, a force to be reckoned with who’s in a league of his own! But the second you voice an opinion that differs from theirs… you’re an immoral maniac—a deviant who shuns the orthodox path! Do you really think you can wander out and about in the secular world and live a carefree life?! There is no such precedent!
Wei Wuxian: If there’s no such precedent, then I’ll be the first!
This, dear mother-fucker, is what Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation is all about! Damn, these cultivation novels always hit the spot! Now, allow me to cry in silence on the corner facing the wall.
Also, how dare you decolorize their legendary first kiss?! Lol, it only made it even more intense! So joke’s on you! Ha!

Wei Ying burlándose de Lan Zhan porque seguro no había besado a nadie y jamás se atrevería a hacerlo, sin saber que era quien le acababa de dar su primer beso y le había dejado las piernas temblando como gelatina 🤭

Una de mis partes favoritas de la trama. Me ha gustado, incluso con los cambios que han metido (obviamente, dado el formato). Qué guay ha estado.

Se está entendiendo más la historia, pero se nota que le han sacado cosas porque me falta contexto, es momento de leer los libros.
Lejos lo mejor fue en beso que le da Lan Zhan a Wei Xuxian en el árbol, lo dejo temblando y sin saber quién fue!!
Me molesta que sus propios hermanos de cultivación, en especial Jiang Cheng, no sean capaces de apoyarlo y le dan la espalda, entiendo que puede ser extraño pero Jiang Cheng le tiene envidia y eso me da rabia porque Wei Xuxian siempre ha tenido que demostrar más por sus orígenes humildes y ser huérfano.
Cuando Jiang Yanli lo defiende me gusta bastante y me da pena que no supiera del matrimonio con Jin Zixuan porque dan a entender que no va a poder ver a su hermana de cultivación casarse con la persona que quiere, a pesar que no lo considera digno.
Lan Zhan siempre lo mejor con Wei Xuxian!

HANGUANG-JUUUNAAAAAAAAAH
Lan Jingyi never fails to make me giggle.
Also, FIRST KISS. AHHH. The fact they drew a Pinocchio nose on Wei Ying after he lied about being experienced had me dying 🤣
But also, Wen Ning 😭 I think the artist did a great job with showing his pain.
It’s unfair how this volume was both so funny and sad at the same time.
Next volume is going to be rough.

oooohh i forgot how angry the politics in mdzs make me urgghh. mxtx does such a good job of conveying her messaging though, and the power system (both magical and political) is just so well-developed. it's kinda hard to hate even when it's so incredibly frustrating

Aquí es donde tenemos el primer beso del WangXian 😍
¡Ha sido absolutamente precioso!
awww
Además empiezan a sonar los problemas entre todos los clanes con el temible Wei Wuxian y su práctica con la cultivación demoníaca.

Creo que esta es la portada más bonita de toda la saga. Hemos visto el primer beso EVER de Wei Ying y Lan Zhan, so cute. Jiang Cheng me da mucha rabia, por favor, ten un poco más de autoestima y no te dejes influenciar por los demás.

Continuamos la historia de Wei Wuxian y Lan Wangji, ambos se dirigen a Yiling dónde los jóvenes de los clanes cultivacionales se encuentran atrapados, los liberan pero de repente se ven rodeados de los mayores de los clanes con Jiang Chen de líder, para Wei Wuxian es un alivio saber que está vez no está solo.
Regresamos al pasado donde se desarrolla una cacería nocturna, Wei Wuxian que ya es hábil en la cultivación demoníaca, hace alarde de su poder y descansa en un árbol con los ojos vendados. De repente alguien le arrincona y lo besa.
Luego se encuentra con un Lan Wanji perturbado para posteriormente ver a Yanli y a Zixuan paseando.
Las familias quedan en malos términos y se retiran.
Dos meses después Lan Wangji se encuentra con Wei Wuxian, se da cuenta que el poder demoníaco lo está trastornando pero no se deja ayudar.
Finalmente vemos a Wei Wuxian en Lanling, exigiendo el paradero de los pocos Wen, específicamente de Wen Ning. Encuentra su cadáver y lo revive para que cobre venganza. Rompe lazos con el clan Jiang y se va a vivir en Yiling. Meses después se encuentra de nuevo con Lan Wangji, con A-Yuan a su lado, en un momento deben volar a Yiling dónde se descubre que el cadáver de Wen Ning ha recuperado su conciencia, logrando así un cadáver asesino consciente.
Se lee rapidísimo, se mantiene la buena adaptación y se disfruta mucho.

The timeline seems to be slightly different and far more detailed in this version than in the anime, though this is also a fairly common impression given the limited air time compared to print. Turns out it isn't just current Wangli that shows an interest in Wuxian, just Wuxian had no idea it was him at the time. Honestly, at one point I wondered if Wuxian would attempt to propose to his foster sister, but this game he has going on with Wangli is far more entertaining. It doesn't seem like others have picked up on Wangli's soft spot just yet, though he's hinted at a few oddities without names that have made other cultivators wonder. Now that we have the ghost general in the picture with both past and present stories, fear is going to rocket with all the assumptions given Wuxian's power. It's no surprise then that he arranged things to be on his own rather than affiliated with his clan given the alternating hero and monster stigma of his demonic cultivation depending on how it helped the other clan's narratives.

"...but this time I'm not alone"
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are a love story for the ages. What a treat it is to be able to enjoy (and cry over) this story in multiple mediums.
Wei Ying, who stands up for what is right and protects those who can't protect themselves, even if it means his own ruin, is one of my favourite characters of all time. He's hilarious and delightfully chaotic, but also deeply kind and just where it matters most.
And Lan Zhan with his quiet strength and steadfast love who waited without certainty for such a long time. 😭
They're beautiful characters, I could revisit their story many more times - and likely will.

I don't really have much to say here (I have the same thoughts about every volume pretty much) but I love this series so much and really enjoy these comic adaptations. I think the art style is beautiful, and yet also manages to perfectly hit the comedic notes when needed to enhance the story. These are just so fun. My only continued critique is that I don't think you could read these easily if you hadn't already read the novels and/or watched an adaptation, as they are a bit choppy and jump about a lot, but they're very fun for those familiar with the story!

I didn't think they'd include all the kiss panels so I was fangirling so hard!!!!
Lan Zhan telling Xichen he wants to bring Wei Ying back and hide him :( Xichen! you should have done something. your lil brother rarely asked for things.
this book hurts so much because Wei Ying wanted so much to protect his family and friends and the authority kept fighting and twisting his words. all those idiots following someone else's words. and yes he did lose control sometimes but it was because they kept pushing and accusing him

Really good volume - and some key moments in the development of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangxi's relationship, including that *kiss* scene. I do wish there was a little more visually to show the jumps in time - there is Wei Wuxian's clothing of course, but Lan Wangxi looks super similar in both timelines so it is not as obvious. We're definitely getting to the downfall part of the arc, so I'm assuming there won't be too many more volumes left!

Some of my favorite moments are in this volume, such as the famous blindfolded kiss! A lot was covered here but none of the sun shot campaign. I can't remember if they go over it in more detail elsewhere or if they just decide to skip it for the comic. Not that there was a lot for it to cover... Anywho, it leaves off before the devastating incidents of his past. The moments that forever change him are probably going to be what starts the next volume.
