Waiting For You (A Wangxian FF)

Prologue

"Great news! Wei WuXian has died!"

"The YiLing Patriarch has died? Who could have killed him?"

"Who other than his shidi?"

"I must say, good riddance!"

"Good riddance indeed! We finally eliminated this scourge."

"If not for the YunmengJiang clan's adopting and teaching him, he would have been a hobo living on the streets, let alone causing mayhem as bold as the ones these days... He is the prime example of biting the hand that feeds him!"

"Because he cultivates the Demon Path, Wei WuXian's powers had backfired and he was ripped to pieces."

"Hahahaha... That's karma!"

Less than a day has passed since the siege in LuanZang Hill, and the news spreads through the cultivation world as if it sprouted wings, surpassing even the speed of warfare.

For a while, from the most prominent clans to rogue cultivators, everyone is discussing the siege that was led by the Four Great Clans and followed by hundreds of smaller ones.

However, the heavens and ghosts and other non-human creatures didn't seem like they are satisfied with the situation.

The day the mortals declared his death, the earth trembled and the high and mighty mountains split open. The waters became chaotic and the sea turned into a monstrous nightmare. Rain- not that natural rain but blood rain poured out from the sky for days nonstop and the crops died down altogether.

The calamities seemed to wage war against the mortal realm along with the heavens, and the ghosts, demons and the other creatures also appeared to be joining the party soon after.

At first people put all that blame into Wei Wuxian's account too since it's only after his death that everything started to go downhill. But soon after the heaven itself declared that it is their punishment for leading innocent people to their deaths, most of the mortals decide to release Wei Wuxian from that single 'crime'.

However his other 'crimes' didn't get cleared that easily and nobody- well, almost nobody believed otherwise either.

Only three mortals and one undead, in total four people believed that he is not the one responsible for all those chaos. In fact, one out of four knew from the start to the end that Wei Wuxian is not the person who the others painted him to be. Along the time the other three also realized the depth of the situation slowly.

Yet, they knew very well that what was done cannot be undone and the world wouldn't believe them either without solid proof for his innocence. On the other hand, who would believe it if someone is to say that he is innocent when the person in discussion didn't defend himself against those 'righteous' cultivators?

The innocents are already dead and the world has lost the most selfless man to ever born into that undeserving realm. But who is there to realize about their loss other than those four grieving people?

As the years passed by, the mortals and the cultivation world slowly calmed down and the gossip and slanders about the YiLing Laozu also faded away.

After venting their anger and almost wiping out the mortal lives out of the face of the earth, the heavens, calamities and the other demonic creatures also retreated after a year or so and the heaven completely cut ties with the mortal realm.

The prayers went unanswered and the seasons just passed by without the liveliness they once held within. The ghosts and the demonic beasts didn't bother keeping their distance away from the humans and kept hunting them whenever possible. The heavens didn't prevent them either as long as the chaos they created didn't pose a threat to the natural balance and the Tiāndào.
