THE UNTAMED HEART

Chapter 58: Resentment

Mo Village

It was now the night time, Wei Wuxian was playing a tune with a leaf. Lan Rin was sleeping on a mattress. Lan Sizhui heard the tune and said:

"Jingyi, I think this is a tune we heard in Gusu."

Lan Jingyi:

"How can it be, it is played terribly."

Just as they were having a conversation, they saw a group of people dragging Wei Wuxian and Lan Rin to the main hall. The Lan juniors immediately made their way to the main hall. Madam Mo was crazy, Mo Ziyuan was a fierce corpse. Wei Wuxian and Lan Rin looked at Mo Ziyuan. Mo Ziyuan was about to attack Lan Jingyi, luckily Lan Sizhui and Wei Wuxian were quick to stop him by drawing two talismans on the back and front then pushing them in his body. Wei Wuxian felt something weird on Mo Ziyuan's chest so he put his hand in his robe only to discover that Mo Ziyuan had stolen a Spirit Lure Flag. Wei Wuxian sighed. Madam Mo crazily shouted:

"It is him! He did it! Crazy Mo did it! Immortal cultivators, what a joke!"

Wei Wuxian:

"Shame on you! How old is your son? Twenty? Doesn't he understand human language? They told you not to go to the western courtyard countless times. Your son went there and stole a flag."

Madam Mo almost attacked Wei Wuxian but, Lan Sizhui stopped her:

"Madam Mo, we can speak."

Meantime Master Mo also turned into a fierce corpse and as the guards took him out, he killed both of them. Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi rushed outside, and tied Master Mo with the Deity Binding Rope. Now both Mo Ziyuan and Master Mo were in an incantation circle. Just as they were about to relieve, A-Tong strangled himself to death with his left hand. The juniors were now worried. Lan Sizhui said:

"We should alert Hanguang-Jun."

Wei Wuxian:

"You mean, Hanguang-Jun, Lan Zhan?"

Lan Jingyi:

"He didn't say where he went."

Wei Wuxian:

"I can handle the situation."

Lan Sizhui:

"Send the signal, defend to death until the support arrives."

Lan Rin sighed as they were now calling Hanguang-Jun for support, Wei Wuxian also noticed that the situation wasn't bright. They had to handle whatever this resentful thing was, yet they were now stuck.

The juniors put many talismans and then Madam Mo became a fierce corpse. She was about to attack Lan Sizhui, but the talismans on his robe stopped her hand. Lan Sizhui said:

"Clothes! Take off your outer robes! The talismans, they can't touch the talismans!"

All the juniors took off their inner robes in synchronization and made their way out of the main hall, gaining time. Madam Mo also got out and started fighting. Wei Wuxian sighed, broke the incantation circle, let Master Mo and Mo Ziyuan out. The fierce corpses were now fighting against each other, then the sound of zither was heard.

Lan Wangji made his way on a rooftop, he landed on the rooftop so delicately and calmed all the three fierce corpses by his zither. He then saw the cursed object and summoned it to his hand only to see that it was a sword, he started casting a talisman on it. The juniors ran to the courtyard and Lan Jingyi asked a question:

"Hanguang-Jun, what it is? Its resentment is so strong? What is it derived from?"

Lan Wangji:

"It isn't derived from something, it is spirit of a first-level spiritual tool."

Lan Wangji finished casting the talisman only to be shocked and said:

"Stygian Tiger Amulet."

Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi looked at each other, Lan Jingyi broke the silence:

"Didn't the Yunmeng Jiang Clan keep the Stygian Tiger Amulet safe?"

Lan Sizhui nodded and said:

"They were keeping it safe, how can it be?"

Meantime, Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji from behind a pillar and said:

"He is still wearing white as if he is at a funeral."

Wei Wuxian grabbed Lan Rin and pulled her back to the house where they woke up. Lan Sizhui looked around and said:

"Eh? Jingyi, where are Master Mo and Lady Lan?"

Lan Wangji noticed the two figures that were running towards the darkness, he chased after them but, couldn't catch up, he then uttered:

"Wei Ying, is that really you?"

Soul Land

Xue Yang had been here for so long that he didn't remember where he was. He was holding Jiangzai (To Bring Down Disasters) firmly and fighting while shouting:

"Get out! Out! Leave me! Leave me alone! Xiao Xingchen! Where are you? Xiao Xingchen, save me!"

Xue Yang was fighting with all his being, he was fighting with such a dense black fog, he didn't even know what he was fighting against. He kept shouting as he was fighting:

"Leave me alone! Get out!"

Xue Yang was fighting, screaming and crying, he said begging:

"Xiao Xingchen, would you forgive me if I got rid of my inner demons?"

He was desperate, the despair in his heart was consuming him, he then saw a light tearing apart those shadows, he saw the cultivator in white but, the cultivator wasn't wearing a blindfold, Xue Yang said:

"Xiao Xingchen?"

The cultivator in white nodded and reached out for his hand:

"Xue Yang, come out."

Xue Yang smiled as he left the Soul Land, this kind soul was his savior, came to save him, and Xue Yang reincarnated into the mortal world. His body was a baby, he could feel the rain on his face.

Koi Tower

Xiao Xingchen recovered from his fever yet the things he saw when he was feverish were indeed weird. He wasn't wearing a blindfold and for some reason he dreamt that he was saving Xue Yang from somewhere. He was walking with his umbrella, he was startled when he heard a baby crying. He rushed to the baby only to see how ignorant the people had been. Xiao Xingchen gently picked up the baby, the baby looked like they were six months old. Xiao Xingchen asked around the town but nobody knew the baby or even his own parents were denying it. Xiao Xingchen got furious and went back to Koi Tower with the baby.

Song Zichen noticed that Xiao Xingchen was carrying a baby, Xiao Xingchen spoke:

"Someone dumped this baby, how terrible."

Xiao Xingchen connected his mind with Song Zichen. Song Zichen asked:

"What is the name of the baby? Where did you find them?"

Xiao Xingchen found a token, it had a name but no family name on it, Xiao Xingchen said:

"Yang. The baby's name is Yang and the baby is a boy."
