THE UNTAMED HEART

Chapter 9: Soulmates

Wei Wuxian looked at Song Zichen and Xue Yang. Song Zichen was bleeding from his mouth, Wei Wuxian opened his mouth and saw that his tongue was severed, he also saw the dagger that stabbed him from his throat, he then noticed his head was bleeding, this was something he was unable to explain. Xiao Xingchen knelt to the ground and touched Song Zichen's face then said:

"Zichen? Zichen?"

Wei Wuxian found what he was looking for, there were some sort of nails on Song Zichen's head, he removed the nails and the dagger. Then he looked at Xiao Xingchen and asked:

"Senior Uncle, do you want him to live?"

Xiao Xingchen's eyes started bleeding, blood streamed down his face:

"Zichen no, you promised me, we were going to build a sect, you can't die!"

Wei Wuxian looked at him:

"Senior uncle, I can save him."

Xiao Xingchen turned to him:

"How?"

We Wuxian said:

"Like I saved Wen Ning."

This meant that Xiao Xingchen's dear soulmate would become a fierce corpse, a fierce corpse with consciousness. Xiao Xingchen nodded and said:

"Save him, he is my soulmate, I can't abandon him."

Wei Wuxian nodded and using some resentful energy from Stygian Tiger Amulet, he channeled it to Song Zichen. Song Zichen woke up a few minutes later, he tried to speak, but he noticed he couldn't speak, he grabbed Xiao Xingchen's hand and wrote one by one:

"Xingchen, it is me, Zichen, I am sorry, did he die?"

Xiao Xingchen giggled and said:

"You fool, he died and tried to take you with him, thanks to my nephew, you are fine, Zichen, never leave me ever again, I am begging."

Song Zichen wrote on his hand:

"I will stay by you."

Wei Wuxian and Xiao Xingchen helped Song Zichen up, assisting him to walk they came to the main place, Jiang Cheng said:

"What on earth happened to you?"

Wei Wuxian replied:

"How about I tell you after we clean this mess?"

Jin Zixuan came forward and said:

"I never expected events to turn out like that."

Jin Guangshan talked to him with a last bit of hope:

"You are my son and heir of Lanling Jin Sect, Zixuan, be reasonable."

Jin Zixuan said:

"Reasonable? There is no difference between you and Wen Rouhan!"

Jin Zixuan gave them the nod. One was his father, one was his half-brother, and the other was his cousin, but they had to do what had to be done. He looked at all three and said:

"If I don't do this, I won't be able to look at our ancestors. I hope this deed compensates for your disgusting ways and the ancestors forgive our sect."

Jin Zixuan unsheathed his sword, Suihua (The Passage of Time) , and stabbed Jin Guangshan from his heart without hesitation. Nie Mingjue cut Jin Guangyao's head and Jiang Cheng looked at Wei Wuxian then threw Suibian to him, saying:

"You may need this."

Wei Wuxian smiled as he unsheathed his sword and looked at Jiang Cheng and said:

"I thought you wanted to do the deed."

Jiang Cheng said:

"Well, you must bite the one who bit you."

Wei Wuxian smiled and then looking at Jin Zixun, he stabbed him to death by stabbing his throat.

That was it. Jin Guangshan, Jin Zixun and Jin Guangyao were all dead. Xue Yang was also dead. Song Zichen was leaning on Xiao Xingchen. Xiao Xingchen's clothes were half red due to how much Song Zichen was bleeding. Wei Wuxian sheathed Suibian and he took a few steps back, he closed his eyes, dropped Suibian, Lan Wangji caught him before he hit the ground:

"Wei Ying?"

Wei Wuxian's eyes were closed. Lan Wangji checked his breathing and his pulse, he sighed. He grabbed Wei Wuxian, lifted him, he carried him to where the wounded people were being taken, Jiang Yanli saw them:

"Hanguang-Jun, Xianxian?"

She then approached them and said:

"I can show you his room."

Lan Wangji nodded as she led to Wei Wuxian's room. Lan Wangji laid Wei Wuxian on the bed gently and Jiang Yanli said:

"Let me bring some supplies."

Lan Wangji nodded again, he started transferring spiritual power to We Wuxian. Shortly after, Jiang Yanli returned with the supplies, left them alone after delivering the supplies and she thought "I guessed that Xianxian would become cultivation partners with him." she entered the medicinal ward with a smile and started helping Wen Qing.

Lan Xichen sat on the ground after putting Jin Guangshan's body down. He seemed like he spaced out, Nie Mingjue touched his shoulder:

"Xichen?"

Lan Xichen looked at him:

"Da-ge, how couldn't I see that. A-Yao..."

Nie Mingjue sat next to him and said:

"It is hard to see through him. I accepted to become brothers, hoping that he could change, yet he went worse. Xichen, some things in life are out of our control."

Lan Xichen was rubbing his head as his head was hurting so much, he then said:

"What was he trying to do? I mean A-Yao? He... Why didn't he stop?"

Nie Mingjue said:

"Greed."

Jin Zixuan looked at Jiang Cheng:

"Sect Leader Jiang, their remains still have to be delivered to Lanling Jin Sect's place so they can be put to the ancestral hall."

Jiang Cheng nodded and said:

"I know, how about you, what will you do next? How will you tell your mother?"

Jin Zixuan looked at the sky and said:

"She doesn't have to know how he died."

Jiang Cheng said:

"How about Lanling Jin Sect?"

Jin Zixuan looked at him:

"Sect Leader Jiang, I declared that I defected, by the death of my father, the last leader of Lanling Jin Sect, it is officially destroyed. You may have the Koi Tower as war trophy as well as all the land that Lanling Jin Sect had must be shared among you three sects. I just want to marry Yanli and put a stop to bloodshed, we all saw more than enough bloodshed to last us a lifetime."

He was right. From Sunshot Campaign to the current battle that happened, they had indeed seen so much bloodshed.
