Wei Ying's destroyed heart (Complete) Edited

7: Chief Cultivators death

Jiang Cheng had whipped Jin GuangYao again and again, and this was not just to release his anger about being manipulated by this worm of a man, but also to gather any and all information.

By the end he had gotten what he believed was everything this man had done over the years, even about how Jin GuangYao and Su She had set Wei WuXian up by killing and making it look like he had killed them, this included Jaing Cheng's sister's husbands' brother's trap because of the curse, which culminated in the two brothers' deaths, the attack at Nightless city the night Wei WuXian died. How he had used the same demonic cultivation to control Wen Ning and the other fierce corpse to kill ... he spilled every detail ....

However Jiang Cheng was not totally satisfied with what he confessed, so with one last lash of his whip, Jin GuangYao fell unconscious and then he preformed hours of empathy. Looking through every moment he thought would show him something.

By the end, he felt like he had been crawling through the deepest parts of the Burial Mounds for days and went for an hour long soak to get rid of the feeling.

'Sect Leader.' A voice came from the other side of the screen.

'Yes.'

'Is there anything you require?'

'Yes ....'

'...' the person waited to hear what it was only to be shocked.

'I want to go back to that night and run that bastard through .... Before we all turned on a friend.' He sighed deeply. 'Forget it, just make sure there are four guards on that man at all times, send some workers to the centre of town and have them build a cage ... to be finished before nights end. Tomorrow morning, before the sun rises .... Never mind that part. Just make sure the rest is done.'

'Yes Sect Leader.'

'Later, send the Lan Sect members to my room with my nephew.'

'Yes Sect Leader.'

However, as he soaked all he could think was ................ How am I meant to face him ever again?

Later he stood before his nephew and his friends with a shield around them so no one could hear him.

'I want you two to hurry back to the Cloud Recesses and ask either Lan XiChen or Master Lan to come here. Give my apologies, but I need one of them here ... I would ask HanGuang-Jun but .... I would never even think of asking him to do this. Jin Ling I want you to head over with them ... I do not know where all his men are and if they knew what he has done. Keep your eyes open and stay high over the forests to see if anyone comes your way. Have some others go with you.'

He watched them race off into the distance.

Two hours before the sun rose, Jiang Cheng looked at the paper to be placed over the cage. 'That is fine.' He handed it back and ushered him out then walked to the cell containing Jin GuangYao. The man huddled in a dark corner with a small whimper coming from his sleeping form. Making sure no noise was made; he opened the door and walked over to the man and just watching him in the midst of some kind of bad dream.

As much as I would love to let you continue your nightmare ... he reached out and grabbed the man by the ankle, then without taking any pleasure in his screams of terror at the sudden attack .... He proceeded to drag him from the room, down every hall, up every step, over the door ways, down the path, into the centre of town and straight into the cage.

He stepped back and watched as his sect members placed dozens of talismans all around the cage.

'Oh ... I'm sorry ... did I wake you up? I just thought you might like some fresh air after that cramped little room all night. I hear that fresh air is good for wounds ... though how about some water to freshen up?' he nodded to the men around the cage and watched as they all threw heavily salted water at the man.
