Reap What You Sow

Chapter 13

The next morning, Lan Xichen, Lan Qiren, with their contingency, went towards Hejian. While Mingjue and the three with a large army as large as what they had at their disposal went towards Langya. Making their way, they were very careful. Caihong,  Lan Zhan, and Jin Zixuan, after two days of travel, sneaked into  Langya as sect Leader Nie, and the others wait at a safe distance until they get the signal to attack. The first thing Caihong did was for the two to change their robes for now to darker colours. To make it easier to blend into the night.  The reason is also as in her words.  The Wens will see them come from a mile away with the white robes and golden robes.

They found themselves laying flat on one the roof of one of the tallest buildings. Scanning the place when they heard groans and alot of that mixed with human voices. Lifting them just enough what greeted them was a army of the dead and living. If they should guess it is close to three hundred of the living and dead. So it seems the intel Hua Cheng send was correct. She signal to the two to go and tell Mingjue. They dropped to the other side and made their way to where Mingjue and their soldiers were waiting. When they were gone she stood up and a small smirk appears on her lips.

"Sect Leader Nie. There are atleast close to three hundred soldiers and undead". Lan Zhan told him. Anger flares inside him and he gritted out through his teeth.

"So lady Hua was right. Someone wants me dead, hurt or captured. But that won't happen. Let's go". He ordered and everyone stood up just as the first eery sound came from the dizi. They rushed into town and stopped as they came face to face with Wen soldiers.  The fight started in full force. Swords clashing. T

Caihong played her dizi. Concentrating on over throw their original order. The wraith butterflies attacked with just much fierceness. Call upon the resentful energy around. Her playing became more faster and fiercer and ordering the ghost to attack the soldiers.

The battle lasted for three excruciating days. Their soldiers fell around them just as some of the Wen soldiers. Limbs and bodies growing tired but the still they push and fight. Right now it looks as if they will all die here no one leaving alive.

Lan Zhan saw a hand coming at him and he dance out the way bringing bichen down. Jumping back he saw the core melting hand. He looked at the man and dove forward but Wen Zhuliu step with a swift move out of the way. Lan Zhan did not lit up he attacked him again and again.
Lan Zhan was still fighting off Wen Zhuliu and Mingjue was fighting against Wen Xu. Wen Zhuliu attacked and Lan Zhan once again swiftly dance out of Wen Zhuliu's attack but this time the man anticipated it and moved with Lan Zhan his hand landed Lan Zhan's lower daintian. He sword fell and he gritted his teeth as fell the burning inside him.

But before real damage could be done a scream filled the air and for a moment everything frozen. Blood spat into Lan Zhan's face and he fell to his knees when the pressure disappeared from his lower daintian. He saw a hand laying before his eyes. He slowly let his eyes slides up. There stood Caihong her sword stab right through Wen Zhuliu's heart and the man had an unbelievable look on his face. She slide her sword out and with one swift move she decapitated him. Body fell limp to the ground and his head rolled away.

She turns around and kneeled before Lan Zhan. Worry and fear evident in her face as she look him over. She grab his arm and send spiritual energy into him. Eyes close she concentrated. She did it a few times until she was sure.

"Lan Zhan he did not have to damage or crush your golden core. Your spiritual energy are a bit unstable. Will you be able to continue?". She asked concerned as she picked up bichen and help him up.

"Thank you Caihong. Yes don't worry". She gave him bichen and gave him one last worried look and he nodded his head assuring her that he is fine. She brought Chenqing to her lips once again and started playing. She knew that it won't be east turning these fierce corpses but she did not know it would be so hard. But if not anything she believe in herself and she will turn them come high or high water.
