The Black Dragon

chapter 42

The shadow kingdom

As Mey had told him, he did everything they told him, first they arrived at the great entrance to the shadow kingdom, something that seemed very familiar to Wei Wuxian, but he couldn't remember very well, after all, even if he denied it, he knew that He had lost a large part of his memory but thanks to time and meditation fragments of memories returned to his mind and among that was a person who was always by his side since he began to live in the Human realm, and this was Lan wangji, one of the five dragons.

For Wei Wuxian he always seemed very familiar and every time he looked at him, whether up close or from a distance, his heart beat in a strange way, then Wei Wuxian began to believe that perhaps he had lost a large part of his memory and that young man was someone special in his old self or that's how he called himself.

Upon entering the shadow kingdom, all the monsters and demons or the large part that remained of them welcomed him with the sound of a trumpet the size of a wooden chair, Wei Wuxian was blindfolded and tied by those chains, but despite Wei Wuxian never felt afraid of all that.

The doors of that castle opened to make way, upon entering you could hear some murmurs, Wei Wuxian felt a little disoriented having those blindfolds on his eyes, after a few seconds they stopped their walk and placed Wei Wuxian a few steps ahead of others. Wei Wuxian was feeling the light of those chandeliers when one of the men began to remove that bandage and then a voice sounded throughout that large room.

"Welcome, wei wuxian" wei wixian knew that voice but from where, when he opened his eyes everything was a little blurry until he got used to that light so he could clearly see the man in front of him speaking to him, when he could Visualize well you can see how a few meters away was a man with a smile sitting on a throne, Wei Wuxian guessed that this was the Xue Yang that the other men were talking about.

"...."

"You know it is impolite not to respond when you are in front of a king" Xue Yang exclaimed, standing up, one of the men behind Wei Wuxian grabbed by the neck and threw him to the ground, making him kneel before Xue Yang.

"Salute and show respect to our king!" the man shouted, Wei Wuxian remained silent, which annoyed the man, but Xue Yang interrupted.

"Don't worry, it's not like I care if that heretic bows down to me" he exclaimed and Wei Wuxian smiled.

"HA heretic and what are you then?" Wei Wuxian whispered but Xue Yang could hear him.

"If you're right, we are equal or you can say we were" Xue Yang said with a smile as he walked up to Wei Wuxian, crouched down to squat and then lifted Wei Wuxian's chin to look him in the eyes.

"Do you know how long Wei Wuxian i have waited for this moment? I am the one who will fulfill what Dilong could not do, I will be the one who changes this world and you will be the sacrifice."

"I don't know who this Dilong guy is but it seems that you betrayed him, a rat like you couldn't change the world" Wei Wuxian exclaimed making one of the men want to hit him but Xue Yang stepped forward and hit him making him fall to the cold ground spitting out a little blood.

"Cough, cough..." Wei Wuxian coughed while spitting out the blood.

"What do you know, you don't even remember your past, I'm sure those around you must be tired of you, but don't worry, I'll make things easier for you, you take him to the dungeon" he shouted and two men took Wei WuXian away. Wei Wuxian smiled because everything had gone as he planned.

"Well, forgive me for this little disaster because we didn't start the preparations in a few hours. It's the coronation party," Xue Yang said and everyone nodded and left, leaving only Mey who was eating an apple while leaning against one of the pillars.

"Good job, Mey I knew that you were the one who caught him" said Xue Yang taking a seat on the throne, he stands up while taking a bite of that apple.

"Of course it was very easy, that Wei Wuxian is quite weak, don't you believe it"

"Maybe, but long ago he was the most feared"

"The most feared...I don't think so, he doesn't even look like a bully" Mey said laughing, he also smiled.

"You're right, but sometimes even the simple rabbit can be a predator, beneath that innocence is the devil" He whispered those last words, but Mey heard it anyway.

"Well, with your permission, your majesty, but this simple servant is leaving," Mey exclaimed and he nodded. Mey turned around and continued on his way until he left no trace that he was standing right there, while Xue Yang just stared into nothingness while A rather unpleasant smile appears on his face.

"The game begins, Wei Wuxian."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the shadow kingdom, in the human kingdom, there was a handsome young man walking calmly towards a cabin that was in the mountains, but his peace was interrupted when a woman in red clothes came running towards him, a little uneasy and worried.

"Young Lan, it's good that you came," the woman said.

"Something happened?" I ask and she sighs.

" what happened is that yesterday afternoon Wei Wuxian and Ayuan went higher in the mountains to play, but when night came they did not return, we have been looking for them but not found them yet..." at that moment Lan Wangji thought The worst thing was, many things ran through his mind, and quickly he transformed into a dragon. He looked at Lady Wen and nodded, conveying confidence and that everything would be fine. She understood and nodded, then without anything more than losing, Lan Wangji ascended to the heavens to go further fast uphill in the mountains, He was sure that something bad had happened and he knew who caused it after all that same day he was going to talk about it and warn them to be careful. Lan wangji knew that Xue yang had a lot of grudge against Wei Wuxian, so he knew where he was right now and wouldn't let him hurt his Wei Ying.
