A few boys grabbed Madame Mo. Lan SiZhui said "excuse me" and was prepared to slap down a talisman when Madame Mo's left hand suddenly twisted in an absurd way, aiming for his throat.

"A-yuan, watch out!" Jin Ling yelled making his two friends snickered while Sizhui blushed.

The others was also worried but got curious when the two kids laughed at Jin Ling.

Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian gave a look at each other.

Unless one's bones had been broken, it was impossible for a living person to twist their arm like this. She attacked quickly, and was extremely close to grabbing onto his neck, when at the same time, Lan JingYi shouted "hey" and threw himself in front of Lan SiZhui, blocking the hand for him.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" yelled Jiang Cheng, getting worried.

"Don't do something like that next time." said Lan Xichen.

"It's not me." said Jingyi, pouting.

A flash passed, and as soon as the arm grabbed Lan JingYi's shoulder, green flames ignited on his arm, making it loosen its grip. Lan SiZhui escaped death, and was about to thank Lan JingYi for it, when he saw that half of the latter's uniform had already been burnt to ashes, looking quite awkward. Lan JingYi took off the other half of his uniform and scolded, fuming with rage, "Why did you kick me, you lunatic? Did you want to kill me?"

Wei WuXian scampered away like a frightened rat, "It wasn't me!"

It was him.

"WEI WUXIAN!" yelled Madam Yu, letting out her whip.

"How dare you?" she asked ready to strike him with whip when Jiang Fengmian stops him while Sizhui hid Wei Wuxian on his back.

"He must've some reasons." said Jiang Fengmian.

Inside of the Lan clan's uniform jacket, there were compact stitchings of incantations using thin threads of the same color, included for protection. However, against strong ones like this, it could only be used once before it became invalid. During the emergency, he could only kick Lan JingYi and use his body to protect Lan SiZhui's neck. Lan JingYi wanted to scold him again, but Madame Mo fell onto the ground, with all of the blood and flesh on her face being drained until only a thin layer of skin was left on the skull. The male arm that didn't belong to her had fallen off her shoulders. Its fingers bent freely, as if it was stretching or exercising, and the throbs of its veins were clearly visible.

"How do you know so much about their sect?" asked Jin Zixuan curiously.

"I don't know either." said Wei Wuxian looking at his future self.

"That hand seems familiar." muttered a disciple of Nie Sect.

This was the evil being that the Phantom Attraction Flag had attracted.

Being dismembered was a classic example of a distressing death. It was only somewhat more dignified than the way Wei WuXian died. Unlike the situation of being crushed to powder, the limbs and parts of the corpse would be tainted with some of the resentment of the person who died, and it would want to reunite with the other parts and die with a whole corpse. Therefore, it would come up with strategies to find the other parts of the body. If it found it, it might be satisfied and rest in peace, or it might stir up more trouble. If it couldn't find it, the body part would have to put up with the second best option.

"Crushed to powder?" Jiang Cheng asked, looking at his brother.

"That's how I died?" asked Wei Wuxian to the juniors.
