Wei Ying had always known he was different. He was never sure how, his traumatic experiences affected his memories. A "safety mechanism" as he once over heard a doctor says to an animal trader. His mind makes him forget things that have otherwise scarred him, things that would bring more harm than good. Sadly this meant he cannot even remember his parents very well. His only memory of them was a a smaller child riding on a donkey with his Mama and his Baba leading it.

"Remember, Ying-er, it is not what others do for you, but what you can do for others that matters. When we have nothing, it is better to share. No matter what, my little Ghost, be kind, be just and always be content with what you have."

He remembers that swore to live by it. His Baba always told him to be careful with his powers and to always protect those who he cares for. His father's words where his mantra. To be careful and to protect those he loves. However he could not protect his parents. They left him behind since he was a bit sick and they never came back. He spent years wandering the streets chased by wild feral dogs and barely scrapping by on precious few handouts but he used his powers when he could to scare away monsters to sometimes bring back their conscious minds and help what he could to speak to their families and lay them to proper rest.

Wei Ying was found at 7 by Uncle Jiang and taken home. He was introduced to his family but not everyone was welcoming. However when someone who hated the Jiangs kidnapped their children, his new sister and brother; Wei Ying had taken flight, red and black mist carrying his tiny form I to the night. His uncle and his wife shocked at this display. He knows they followed as he uses his powers to track his siblings. Finding the small traces he left on his Shijie and Shidi, he imagines a great big bird and rides it down into the small camp of kidnappers and scared them half to death, he slipped unnoticed to his siblings' sides and untied them.

Before either could ask what was going on, Wei Ying broke his bird and then stomped his foot, a wave of red and black shot out of his foot. The ground shook and from it rose dead animals covered in his energy to they obeyed only his command and forced the attackers away. He wiggled his fingers eyes glowing as he manipulate the energy. Whatever he though or imagined came to life. He kept this going until his Uncle and the Madam arrived and killed the people. Wei Ying then passed out once he was sure it was safe...

When he woke up again, a shock really since those who saw him use his powers often times are terrified of him, have tried to harm him. But it was to Madam Yu, who was calmly sewing something and when she noticed he was awake. Wei Ying had honestly though he would be kicked out or killed. But she shocked him by promising to help him learn control. The training would be brutal, but he would learn it.

And she had been correct. It had been brutal. But his control was much better. His powers manifested into stronger and more defined details. He can even summon and control the dead, it wasn't Demonic Cultivation since Wei Ying could not Cultivate due to his power. However after having several Monks and Grandmasters check. They realized his power was pure Yin energy. He had to be very careful around others. He was able to mask his energy as best he could while at the Gusu Lan Lectures though the Waterborne Abyss nearly exposed him however he was able to calm, tame and seal it. He now keeps it on a tassel with his new flute.

Wei Ying stood up from his Cave a wave of Resentment rising and forming black wings as he shot out of it and towards Nightless City. After the Abyss incident he was sent home for punching the Jin Heir, but said young Master was allowed to stay with basically a slap tot he wrist. Aunt Yu was unhappy about it. But when he explained what had led to him punching the peacock she felt vindicated. If the brat wants to marry her daughter he had to prove himself.

After that the Archery Contest at Qishan had happened and then the crack down on Night Hunts and finally the attacks. Wei Ying knew he would not be able to keep his powers a secret. Then the indoctrination happened and he gained a new pet in the form of the Xuanwu of Slaughter and the Yin Sword accepted him as master. After that incident, things were steadily getting worse. Wei Ying wondered if Lan Zhan was alright since his home was burned before the indoctrination. He was also worried how he would view Wei Ying after seeing him tame the Xuanwu. However he could not focus on that now.

It wasn't long after that, XueXue as his sister started calling the Xuanwu, was moved into Lotus Pier and was steadily getting better being fed fruits and fish from the lake. Wei Ying was quick to scold it when it tried to eat people and the like. He made sure it was safe for others and used it to evacuate Lotus Pier when the Wens came, he used the tamed Waterborne Abyss to kill the invaders. This allowed his people to flee to safety and keep his Aunt and Uncle alive but it also exhausted him. He was captured by Wen Zhuliu and Wen Chao, who was going after the winners of the Archery Contest.

He was brought to the Burial Mounds where Wen Zhuliu tried to crush his core but found he had none. Wen Chao though if floated and ripped his clarity bell from his belt and his hair ribbon before he stabbed him with his sword and dropped him into the Burial Mounds. He should have died but no. His power own grew. Purifying the Resentment into Yin energy and gaining mastery ove to the entirety of Burial Mounds and it's various denizens.

And here he is now riding on a wave red and black Yin power over the walls of Nightless City where the armies we're having the final show down. As one they stopped and looked at him before he brought Chenqing to his lips and played a sweet, if haunting lullaby. The energy around him took form of Lost Cultivators whose bodies are permanently lost to the Mounds while others rose from the ground and looked nearly alive. Many recognized their missing family members and loved ones as they walk forward sentient and Capable of speech.

"Time to end this...." Wei Ying breathes and the wave he rode on crashes down and Wei Ying's army attacks only the Wens. This invigorates those who opposed the Wen to join in...
