Descend into Darkness

Chapter Seventeen End of the Defan Wen's

He woke up back in his room in the demon slaughtering cave as he sat up A-Frayer walked in

How did I return he asked

I bought you back after Lan Zhan helped you escape, he had other things to do with his sect, you've been out of it for three weeks said Le' Fray, what you did was the most idiotic thing ever Hua Ying.

I know, I know. but no one was hurt I just wanted to punish them but the corpses they broke out of my control again and the ghosts were sent back said Hua Ying, he took me away, he hates me A-Frayer, why would he do that?

I guess even with the seal his heart beats only for you said A-Frayer

I do not need his sympathy, nor his selfish love growled Hua Ying as he got up

where are you going? asked A-Frayer

Into town, we need some things to hold funeral for my brother and sister said Hua Ying

A-Ying, I won't be here, mother needs me please take care of yourself said A-Frayer as she hugged him.

I will do my best said Hua Ying hugging her back and leaving the cave.

A-Ying called granny wen, please don't go. they are out there looking for you, my child.

granny I change my appearance they won't know it's me. I will be back said Hua Ying with a smile

Take me with you mommy please asked Wen Yuan as he grabbed Hua Ying's Leg

Little radish granny needs you here. I will be back said Hua Ying as he picked him up and placed a kiss on Wen Yuan's cheek, granny I think A-Yuan is getting sick I will get medication for him as well then turned changed his appearance into that of an old man and walked down the burial mounds.

Hua Ying arrived in town, and he first went to the healer after explaining Wen Yuan's symptoms, the healer smiled and gave Hua Ying what he needed. Then he stopped at a stall and ordered two meat buns, since he hadn't eaten in three weeks might as well eat now.

Afterwards he went around and bought the things needed for the burial rites and even bought two white lanterns that he could paint on before sending them off, Hua Ying knew they would meet within the Diyu if Yama and Meng Po haven't kept their souls for rebirth into this world into their own bodies.

As he slowly made his way back up, he heard some of the villagers talking and Hua Ying's blood ran cold. He dropped what he had bought and ran for his home.

Burial Mounds

Each sect made it to the burial mounds using one of the pathways, Nie Mingjue looked around hoping the Hua Ying and the others have escaped, he turned to one of his disciples.

Spread the word, no person alive is to be harmed if any are found, kill only the corpses he said in a low voice.

The disciple disappeared within the ranks while Nie Mingjue strode to the other sect leaders

Search any destroy everything, leave none alive by chance they have learned the demonic path as well, if you encounter Wei Wuxian kill him immediately do not take a chance said Jin Guangshan.

As each sect left on a different and smaller path he turned to Meng Yao

Are you sure the road that you have mapped out will take us directly to him asked Jin Guangshan

Yes, father said Meng Yao

Meng Yao, if I can get hold of that amulet and him then you will be named heir said Jin GuangShan but only if I get hold of either one or both.
