MDZS Characters Watching the Future

74. Meng Yao

He hadn't come across such a thick odor in years. Something buried in his bones immediately awakened, starting to simmer and stir. As soon as he had opened his eyes, he saw before him the glare of a blade, the shadow of spilled blood, and the head of a man, soaring across the sky, along with its fallen body.

"The f*ck! What a nice view?!." Jiang Cheng said sarcastically.

"No warning?" asked Nie Huaisang as he hid behind his brother.

"Damn, I didn't expect this at all." said Jin Zixuan.

The beheaded man wore a robe with the clan motif of flames and the sun. Wei WuXian watched 'himself' sheath his saber, a low voice coming out of his mouth, "Go get the head. Hang it up for the Wen-dogs to see."

Someone answered from behind him, "Yes!"

"That beheaded man is kinda familiar." said MianMian.

"It's a Wen with a high ranking." said Wen Qing as she gave her cousins a look.

Wei WuXian realized who the beheaded man was.

He was the eldest son of the QishanWen Sect's leader Wen RuoHan- Wen Xu. He was killed by Nie MingJue in Hejian. His head was cut off with a single strike and hung up in front of the troops, in demonstration to the Wen Sect's cultivators. His corpse was cut into pieces by the enraged cultivators of the Nie Sect, then ground up and smeared below the earth.

"What?" Wen Xu asked in disbelief.

"Good for him." said Nie Mingjue.

"Is this what they called Sunshot Campaign?" asked Wen Rouhan.

"How dare he kill my son?" he added.

"Well, it's a war, everyone dies." said Jin Guangshan.

"Want me to kill you first?" asked Wen Rouhan.

"Please do. I really want him dead." said Jingyi.

"Sure kid." said Wen Rouhan.

"But not now." he added.

"So my brother died." laughed Wen Chao making Wen Xu glared at him.

"I bet you died too." said Wen Xu.

"Why are you happy? Have some respect to your elder brother." said Wen Rouhan.

Nie MingJue glanced at the corpse on the ground and kicked it to the side. Hand on the hilt of his saber, he looked calmly around.

ChiFeng-Zun was quite tall. When he Empathized with A-Qing last time, Wei WuXian's field of vision was rather short, but this time it was even taller than his usual view. Looking down, he saw countless casualties. Some wore sun-and-flames robes; some had the QingheNie Sect's beast-head crest on their backs; some didn't dress in any uniforms; each consisting of around one-third. With such a dire scene, the scent of blood suffused the air. He scanned his surroundings as he strode forward, as though he still wanted to check if any of the Wen Sect's cultivators still had a breath of air left in them. Suddenly, a clashing noise came from a tile-roof house on the side.

"Something happened like that in the future?" asked Jiang Yanli.

"Where are my brothers?" she added.

"They're safe, Jiang-shenshen." said Sizhui with a smile.

Jiang Yanli sighed in relief.

With a wave of his saber, a fierce blade of wind swept over. Hacking open the house's crude door, it revealed a mother and her daughter, both panic-stricken. Such a shabby house held very little possessions, its lack of hiding places allowing the pair only to take cover under the table as they held their breaths. As the young woman's round eyes caught reflection of Nie MingJue's blood-drenched and murderous appearance, tears immediately poured out. The girl in her arms had already opened her mouth, scared speechless.
