Migrating from Mo Dao Zu Shi Season 1 Episode 12 Loyal Heart. Wham Line is a dramatic plot-changing line, not just any shocking dialogue. On recap pages Foreshadowing examples shouldn't specify what it is it's foreshadowing if it's a spoiler for future events, at this point it's not made clear in the series what WWX and Jiang Cheng's history is with the Wens and how it affected JYL. Guttural Growler are for characters who speak with a husky voice as default. There's not enough hints at this point to indicate that Jiang Cheng was a Death Seeker.
