" Why is he not waking up ? "

" Is he dead ?"

" He must be dead again"

" Can you all just shut up "

" What if he doesn't wake up "

" He will. Just wait "

" Should we ? Can't we just take him with us ?"

" Should we inform someone? "

" Call HanGuang-Jun, Call HanGuang -Jun"

" oo yes and how do you think we could do that "

" Isn't he the guy who was living here ?"

" Yes ", "No"

" Yes or No ?"

" He was taller than him and more handsome 😉"

"That man used to flirt me ☺️"

" That man was trying to send you to afterlife 😂😂😂😂"

" Stop talking already, can't you see you guys are disturbing his sleep "

" Is he sleeping ? Looks like he is sleeping "

" Oh he is moving "

" Look he is waking up, look, look "

WuXian opened his eyes. His eyelids felt heavy. Not just eyes, his entire body felt pulverized. Supporting his palms on the nearby wall, he tried to sit.

" grrhhhh ", Painful moaning echoed

" Don't move your body. You are hurt"

startled by the sudden voice, He jolted his neck towards that voice.

" Who's there ?", he asked, obviously he heard the other voices when he was about to wake-up. Getting no reply he tried to stand up on his own.

The walls or whatever he used for support was extremely slippery. Bending his knees felt like holding a mountain. He tried to touch his feet on the ground. After a few attempts settling his legs on the ground he looked around.

What welcomed him was pitch black. There was nothing but darkness everywhere. The killing aura was so strong. Still somehow Wei WuXian was feeling Calm and safe. This place, wherever he is, was precarious.

He searched through the layers of clothes in his body. There should be an unwritten talisman. Quickly adding some strokes he threw it into the air. The fire talisman blew and finally he found out where he was. Now it made sense. The walls, ground, the noises he heard, the darkness, everything made sense now. The place he felt familiar was the Demon-Quelling cave. A place where he made his home.

On the other hand, things were getting hectic in Cloud Recess. The great HanGuang-Jun was half dead when he saw the status of the storage room. Both father and son reached there as soon as they heard the loud noise. Years-old scripts and artifacts were rolling down on the floor creating a mess. There was a slight blue light covering the entire place. But one most important thing was nowhere to be seen, his Wei Ying.

' Wei Ying please be safe, wherever you are. You promised to come back to me', he muttered in silence.

There was a Sect meeting to be held in 3 days and XiChen being the Chief Cultivator made Cloud Recess the venue for such gatherings. Even though other sects might be there only a day prior to the meeting, 4 major sect leaders who were in harmony would definitely be there earlier. Jiang WanYin and Jin RuLan were getting their security checks done when they heard the news of the explosion and Wei WuXian's missing.
