Wei Wuxian fell down. It was sudden and no one actually knew what happened. One moment, he was playing his flute, and the next second, he was laying lifelessly on the forest floor.

All the juniors and Wen Ning heard the loud thud and looked in his direction, only to see him in danger. The fierce corpses he had been controlling fell as well. The horde of monsters their group had been night hunting was about to attack him.

Everyone immediately abandoned their positions and run towards the unconscious demonic cultivator. They all knew that Wei Wuxian was only a normal human. He could get seriously hurt with just a single attack from any common monster.

They formed a circle around him and continued their fighting. They were standing shoulder to shoulder, Wei Wuxian between them. The same thought was running through their minds: What could have happened to their favourite senior?

No one knew. But it was not the moment to start the investigation just yet. Or even check on Wei Wuxian too closely. Their first priority was to protect him. After they would defeat all the monsters and it would be safe, they could worry all they wanted.
