The Fall of Jiang Clan... The Beginning

Since the war began, things have never been so busy, especially to the leading forces of prominent sects.

Their enemies only have large number compared to them with only five sects, still everyone is surely aware that they are strong; so, they are curious of their enemies’ confidence, as why are they so sure it's their win with only numbers as for advantage.

What making them more curious, is how they able to deal with Wei Wuxian and his siblings, especially Wei Wuxian himself and Tiao Reinshun who are believed to be the strongest among the eight head disciples of Zhuque Sect. Even the Jiangs, especially Jiang Cheng cannot comprehend how it all happened; and up until now Wei Wuxian and his siblings are missing.

The war has never been good to anyone, that’s why the prominent sects do their best to prevent it from happening; but there are just people that always think that war is the only solution to get what they want, although they don’t have the strength, at least they have many lives to use as pawn against the bigger and stronger ones.

Lan Wangji with Nie Huaisang have arrived at the place where said to became a station of the leaders of Sunshot Campaign, many had proven of this sighting, thus the presence of two young masters.

Nie Huaisang fans himself, quiet and observing the place, he couldn’t help but to let his eyebrows knitted upon seeing the rundown place that is full of talisman. Nie Huaisang narrows his eyes as he inspect one of the talisman that attached to a pillar, he finds it strangely familiar, till a memory resurfaced on his mind, a chance where he witnessed how this talisman have work; and he was so sure that he knew he couldn’t mistaken it for anything else, after all his “Shizun” nicely explained it to him and proudly told him who are those that invented it. Nie Huaisang couldn’t forget how proud his “Shizun” while talking about a pair of geniuses.

Lan Wangji, on the other hand noticed something weird in the room, he cover his mouth and nose using his sleeve. He smells something oddly familiar.

The familiarity came from a memory quite a long time ago, it was the time he stays at a certain sect, he and a disciple from that sect sneak out in the middle of night, and tours the whole sect, until they have stumble on a forbidden room. According to that disciple the room was a laboratory uses for medicine and discovering new poisons, somehow his sect sister is “little” obsessed in medicine but much more in poisons.

The smell that Lan Wangji have inhaled back then is sweet and relaxing, just like the smell within this horrific room; the disciple with him back then has stop him from inhaling it further, and informs him that it is the new medicine turning into poison experiment that his sect sister have created.

As a medicine it could treated skin diseases, but as a poison it could give him hallucinations, from europic to horror, worst it could lead to death by just getting a horrifying nightmare.

Since then, Lan Wangji couldn’t forget that smell.

The next thing the two have noticed is the slashes on walls just little above them, they’ve could recognize the thinness of the weapon and the left over spiritual energy with it, and finally the thick slashes on the floor and pillars, they’ve could tell how thick the weapon was and heavy it is, they knew only one person with such a weapon. Lastly the dents, the creator of dents were surely the same user of heavy thick weapon.

Nie Huaisang closes his fan, “Phantom Lord, Young Master Li Yang.”

Lan Wangji, “Fierce Medical Cultivator, Lady Myo Qing.”
