TOO LATE {EDITED VERSION}

Chapter 3

I was pulled into the darkness, everything was black, with no signs of life, no signs of light. Can't hear nor see. No matter how far he ran, he just couldn't find a door or an exit that leads him out. He's worried about Lan Zhan, he's about to be punished for going to Burial Mounds... No matter how worried he was he couldn't help him, unable to track the time, Wei Ying doesn't know how much time has passed.

Suddenly a light showed up, although he was a cautious person he still reached out to that light, because to him it was hope. 

"Mo Xuan Yu" A voice unfamiliar to him says, a man looking like a ghost with dirty and bloody white clothes and messy hair, his body is full of bruises. Wei Wuxian replied to him, "Who are you? Who is Mo Xuan Yu?" 

He heard that person say, "I am Mo Xuan Yu, you are Mo Xuan Yu. From now and then, you'll live as Mo Xuan Yu. You have to take revenge for me, revenge for my sufferings! I shall summon the villainous ghost Wei Wuxian! YILLING LAOZU!" 

Those were the last things he heard before he felt a pang in his chest. SOmeone was also yelling at him, 'Who dared kick me the Yilling Laozu, Founder of Demonic Cultivation, and the mighty Ghost Army King?!?!' 

Although the vision was a bit blurry, he saw a kid in his early twenties, this little kid who's about a decade younger than him is quite rude, "Who do you think you are?! Dare you tell on my parents?! You're just a servant's son! You don't even deserve to be with the Fei Fei!"

*Just a little twist, Fei Fei is a young maiden named Zhou Fei connected to Mo Family by marriage. Legends know where I got this name from :>

'What the hell, I don't even know you brat. Who's Fei Fei anyways?' Wei Ying or shall we say Mo Xuan Yu stood there while undergoing pain. He came to a realization that this was not his body at all, it was so frail that it would break when tightly held.

Soon he heard noises of breaking, it was either broken pots or table, maybe some other things as well. He came in the thought of Lan Zhan and wanted to deal with everything quickly.

He became furious that he stood up and placed the hair covering his face behind his ears. "How daring of you young brat. Dare you hurt me!?!? Die!" 

I thought I scared him too much, but it didn't matter anymore. I stood up by gathering all my strength, although I wasn't as tall as him, the difference wasn't more than 5 inches. 

"Get lost before I'll kill you!" He threatens, but the other scoffs at him, "Who do you think you are? A servant's son wants to fight the young lord? In your dreams!" 

The rude brat was just about to leave when he heard Xuan Yu chuckled, "Dreams? What about you? Who do you think you are to bully me, the Yilling Laozu?" 

The others laughed their hearts out, even the servants did, a certain one called A'Tong said, "It's been so many years since that villain died, even the sects Jin, Lan, Nie, and Jiang can't summon his soul, much more you?" 

That ugly brat calling himself young lord once again spoke up, "I wonder what did your stepbrother Jin Guangyao do to you so that you're this crazy. Yilling Laozu, Wei Wuxian died 16 years ago you idiot" 

He was taken to reality when the door was slammed shut, it has been 16 years since that time, how did the time get by so fast anyway? It felt like hours or minutes, but 16 years have already passed?! Now thinking back, he badly wants to see Lan Zhan. He jumps out of the window and knocked out the guards at the door, he sneaks away and washed himself up. 

He really looked like a madman when he watched his reflection in the waters, well he was indeed a madman, this is a fact nobody can deny. Soon just as he was thinking about the precious Lan'er gege he encounters the Lan Sect's mourning clothes, it was the younger generation. 

He admits it, he misses Lan Zhan, but he has to deal with the scars on his arm first. At first, he wanted to sleep but can't help himself when his mind is literally full of Lan Wangji. When he woke up or rather when he was awakened, servants dragged him to the main hall. 

Everyone was gathering around, Xuan Yu was surprised and also wanted to see what was going on. He saw the rude brat's head from the same morning with his head hung low and he was tied to a pillar. 

The game has already started, he just needs to play along, he noticed something on the neck and checked what it was. Suddenly one of the Lan Disciples screamed, "P-Puppet?! Only Yilling Laozu, Wei Ying could make this!!!" 

He screwed up, he knows what would happen next, the servant named A'Tong voiced out, "Mo Xuan Yu killed Young Master! He threatened us this morning and everyone also heard about the nonsense he spewed in front of the guests and villagers" His voice was trembling as if he was afraid of something. 

Soon more and more corpses show up and the juniors had a hard time controlling them, Xuan Yu also has to save the kids as much as possible. After all, they were just kids when he died, his hatred has nothing to do with them. 

The next moment when Xuan Yu was lost, a bright light in a form of cloud exploded in the sky... "Crap!" 

He needed to finish everything completely, a mistake isn't allowed or he might discover... But why am I hiding from him? 

*I'll update a longer ch next time, good night/good morning see ya
