Entropy (WANGXIAN FanFic)

Calamity

It has been a week since Wei Ying lost control and turned demonic. Lan Wangji was so scared for his soulmate. He wanted to find him. Even though he would probably not recognize Wangji as a lover anymore, he had to try, he would try anything. He paced back and forth at the Elegance Room thinking about where Wei Ying would go. What would he do?

"Wangji, pacing like that is not going to help at all," Xiongzhang informed, "I know you are worried, but we will find him and figure out how to save him."

"Xiongzhang, you remember that conversation we had?" Wangji asked

"Of course, you asked me how could you harm or kill someone you love," He answered.

"I think that is the only solution, at least according to Baoshan," Wangji said now with tears falling, "I don't want to but I am the only one who can."

"Why you though?" Qiren asked.

Baoshan spoke for Wangji, "To destroy a black core, it needs to be pierced with a pure yang sword or weapon. I don't like it either, but Wangji's sword Bichen, is the only Pure Yang Sword to exist after a few hundred years." Wangji hated the idea, He did not want to harm Wei Ying, but it was sounding as if he had no choice, "It is a rare thing, but Lan Wangji just turned immortal. Wei Ying has yet to go through it as well for the final process of immortality, which is way I am saying, he may not die completely."

"What do you mean?" Wangji asked.

"Wei Ying is your soulmate," Baoshan said, "But he is also your calamity. It is rare to have a soulmate be one's calamity, but not only is he Wangji's calamity, Wei Ying's calamity is him as of now, his demonic self."

It made sense now. We love each other so much, but there was a huge price come with it. If one was to cultivate to immortality, they had to go through this test. A test to deal with the calamity. Wangji fell to his knees on the hard floor beneath him. He wrapped his arms around his torso and hunched forward sobbing loudly. He hated this path that fate has given him. How can he just do something as killing or harming someone so dear to him.

Lan Xichen had seen his brother break down a few times, but this time it was the most painful to see his little brother like this. Just like before, he moved to Wangji on the floor and pulled him to his lap. Wangji turn his body and put his face into his brother's shoulder. The Qiren had not seen his youngest nephew this way before. He was known to be a man who lacks to show comfort but to see his oldest nephew trying to soothe his little brother, got to him. Qiren knelt down and pulled them both into a hug. Baoshan watched for a moment before sending a message to Xingchen and Song Lan, telling them to come to Cloud Recesses as soon as possible. 

As the three Lans were on the floor trying to comfort the youngest, the emergency bell had rung. The Wen's had come at last and it was definitely bad timing. Wangji was already worried about his soulmate but with the Wen's trying to break the ward Wei Ying put up, Wangji started to become angry. He wanted to go fight those Wens to unleash his misery for a while. Baoshan managed to pull the Lan's together for the time being to defend their home. The ward had broken after an hour of trying. It really was a strong ward as it lasted that long. The Wens stormed in and started to light torches and toss oil all over starting fire as they ran through.

Wangji was furious, his uncle to the young and old Lan members to the safety of the cold cave, Baoshan was at the back gate fighting those trying to come in. Song Lan and Xingchen arrived and when to the main courtyard and started to defend there. Xichen was in front of the cold cave guarding and protecting. Even though the Wens cannot enter, he will do everything to protect them. Wangji arrived to where Xichen was and saw a group of Wens coming for them. Wangji took action and used the chord assassination on his ring. It was far beyond more powerful then his spiritual guqin. He knocked all of the Wens off their feet and injured them all that tried to charge at them. As more Wens broke into Cloud Recesses, the group was getting tired. 

Out of no where, off in the distance, there was the sound of a dizi playing an eerie tune. The dead were resurrected to walking corpses and attacked the Wens only. Wangji and Xichen were shocked to see this happen. But then they thought of the only one who could do something like this, Wei Wuxian. Even though he had no yang energy, and his heart was now cold, he still protected his soulmate's home. It gave Wangji hope, knowing that his partner was still there somewhere. He just had to find a way to get to him. After all the Wens were killed, the corpses collapsed into nothing more than dead bodies, and the dizi had stopped. The only thing was, the helpful flute (dizi) player did not come forward and show themself. The person just disappeared.
