Reap What You Sow

Chapter 14

The next morning, they were up early and prepared to move out. Still high on their victory, the two heads of Wen Xu and Wen Zhuliu were hanged on long bamboo poles and carried by two disciples. Soon, they meet Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren at the predetermined destination. They could see the sadness in Lan Xichen's eyes but choose not to address it right now. Joy broke out amongst the soldiers when they saw the two heads. In front of them as they look forward. Nightless City.

"We can't rest on our victory now. Remember who we are about to fight. Wen Rouhan, and to get to him, we will probably face many more  obstacles and traps. So if we won this war, then we can celebrate, but for now, let's stay focused and on  
Lan Qiren voice sounded over the soldiers. In one voice, they screamed and said yes. Looking towards nightless city, they knew it won't be easy, but they would give their best.

They progressed forward. Swords ready and focused. Caihong had Chenqing in her one hand and suibian in her other. The first encounter they had was a dozen fierce corpses. They fought hard and remained strong amongst the fierce power of the corpses. Caihong infused both spiritual and demonic energy into her sword. She and Lan Zhan fought side by side. Slaying them as they cross their paths. Red and blue energy could be seen as the two were dancing as one on the battlefield.

Switching between their swords and Chenqing and Wanji. They were not the only ones causing damage. Madame Yu and her purple lighting were relentless. She took her anger out on every Wen soldier that crosses her path. It took them more than four days to reach the gates. Tired but still full of fight. What awaits them inside when they pushed through the gates were dozens upon dozens of Wen soldiers and fierce corpses. But when the Wen soldiers saw the heads of their sect heir and Wen Zhuliu displayed in such a way. The fight left them for just a mere second.

One turns and runs up the stairs to I forms their leader and as his youngest son was already dead. Poisoned by someone in his court. He walked outside, and when he saw it, he got angry and let out a powerful wave of spiritual and resentful energy and directed it at the ally sects and disciples. Many were thrown far away. The less powerful died. The elders and stronger cultivators were brought to their knees. Blood dripping from their mouths.

"Lan Zhan". Caihong screams as Lan Zhan falls to his knees, panting. Gritting his teeth and groaning.

"Lan Zhan, are you fine. Please tell me". Caihong pleaded, and Lan Zhan gave her a pain looked as he nodded his head. Anger starts to surge through every inch of her body. She stood up and sheath suibian and put it  in her belt before she turned and faced Wen Rouhan.

"You? How are you still standing?". He asked her and let another wave out. It only pushed her a back a little. A chuckle rang through the courtyard. Eyes blood red she brought Chenqing to her lips and started to play as she stalking towards Wen Rouhan. The dead answers. The fierce corpses fought hard against Caihong's command, but in the end, they cave.

The command is simple.
"Protect them. Let no one through or hurt them".  And they obey the command. They now have a new master. She let the last notes fade away before she pulled Chenqing away from her lips and looked at Wen Rouhan's shock face. The wraith butterflies flapped around her, waiting for her command.

"You. Who are you? How are you so strong to withstand two of my attacks?". He asked with awe and anger in his voice.

"It's my little ghost of course. Wen Rouhan mercy will not be on your side today. You tried to kill my little ghost and no one get to live when they try to hurt the ones I care about". A voice said next to Caihong. She slowly turns to the side and there stood a man with an eye patch dressed in red and he looks at her.

"Hello little ghost. Finally we meet just as I have promised". Hua Cheng said. Caihong's eyes filled with tears as she looks at him.

"Cheng-ge. Is it really you?". She asked with a shaky voice. He laughs and said yes. She gave him a very tight hug and tears flows freely down her face as she thanked him over and over. He let he be for a while before he gently pushed her away and looked at her.
