Descendants of The Dead Kingdom [Under Editing]

/A fami¶iar Sword/

"Wen Ning, did you fell into mud?" Wuxian questioned the man looking here and there while clutching onto the big chains on his both hands. He blinked innocently.

"First of all tell him to get rid of those ugly chain! His sister is always complaining to me to give him a cool weapon! Wei Wuxian, do you hear me?"

Jiang Cheng frowned!

"Brother in law, it's not like he doesn't want to give me a sword. But I am not good at swordsmanship and archery! As you know, this chain is portable and easy to use." Wen Ning pouted. "Oh, it can do more damage in a wide range attack also." He added.

"You..." Cheng was going to shout but Wuxian interfered.

"It's ok Jiang Cheng. I know you and sister in law are upset seeing him in these because it will remind you about what happened to him years ago, right? But it's his own choice. Calm down, ok?"

"Who's upset? Hmph!" An angry general looked away!

Wangji looked at them and shook his head slightly.

"Ok. Tell us, what happened?" Wuxian asked. Others also looked at Wen Ning.

"Ah! Your highness, I found a strange underground cave inside Yi forest. It's sealed with a spell. But the resentment around it was very strong. Apart from that, there was nothing strange. And also the poison lake didn't seem to changed or anything. The protection layer also didn't damaged. I tracked down the resentment qi and reached at Young master Xiao's house!"

"Young master Xiao? Xiao Xingchen?" Wuxian got surprised. Jiang Cheng and Wangji also looked at each other.

"Yes. It was him. Ah, there were Young master Song and some of his brother's friends also there. They also said they can feel it and we confirmed it was from a weapon. Young master Song suspected it was likely a sword. Since they were there, I came back."

Wen Ning didn't tell about his niece was also there. Because when he was about to leave that place, Nuwa came to him and told him to keep it as a secret because... She was there for second young master Xiao! How can he betray his niece's pursue of love?

"A sword?" Wangji frowned.

"It seems we really need to meet with Xiao Xingchen soon." Wuxian said and gulped some more wine. Jiang Cheng looked at him with an unbelievable eyes and frowned in thought.

When he was about to open his mouth, two violet and white colored messenger butterflies arrived for Cheng and Wangji.

"General, something happened at Qinghe. A group of refugees from the northern side infected with a strange fever. And the people began to panicking..."

"Your Majesty, sect leader Nie asking for your help."

Everyone looked at each other. Then they stood up immediately.

"Let's go..." Wuxian stretched and gulped the last drop of wine from the jar.

"Lan Zhan, Jiang Cheng... You guys wait for me! Yah, you were always got these damn messages but you still want me to tag along... Yah..."

Wen Ning blinked in confusion. Then he grabbed the whole peanuts from the plate and ran after them.

The maid got surprised and looked at him with an opened mouth!

The night was falling by the time Xiao Xingchen straightened his posture and ended his meditation. He listened to the next room and made sure his brother was sound asleep.

He got up and slightly knocked on the door of Xueyang's room with his sword's hilt. Soon the door opened and a black clothed Xueyang came out. He covered his entire face except his eyes. And secured his dagger into his waistband.
