The Song of Inquiry | The Untamed 陈情令

Chapter 45: Inquiry

LAN WANGJI TRY HIS HARDEST to aim Xue Yang, but his skill pique the same as him. Song Lan on the other hand, helped HanGuang-Jun to properly down Xue Yang but the psycho man easily escape their attempt.

The fog surrounding of the town spread even more, with Wei WuXian and the juniors are inside the house, Lan Wangji silently feel contented. At least his beloved is safe along the others, his eyes focus on the blade within Xue Yang's grasp.

Song Lan notice his impatience, "HanGuang-Jun, let me handle him...go with Wei gonzi." he insist, "No need." he replied and both of them aim their swords towards Xue Yang.

Dodging the both cultivators' aim towards him, Xue Yang flew backwards away from them. He pull down his blade and let out a chuckle, "How amazing! I've always wanted to fight with HanGuang-Jun and the infamous Zichen...but how unlucky of you both unable to kill me." he smirked.

"How dare you! After all these years! You haven't changed at all!" exclaimed Song Lan.

Xue Yang crossed his arms in astonishment, "Of course! Nothing change from all these years..." he paused, "Except the time itself!" he exclaimed.

Lan Wangji tighten the grasp of his bichen, "You are associated with Guangyao." he replied.

His both eyes widen in response, hearing HanGuang-Jun spoke is the first for Xue Yang. Well, he seen him and Wei WuXian 16 years ago...but he never had an encounter or conversation with him. Yet, the thing HanGuang-Jun replied about him is correct.

He cannot process the words to reply him either, Lan Wangji is known to be highly respected by his fellow cultivators. He is known for his aloof nature, and to that, he silently feel embarrassed.

Distracted by his thoughts, he was unaware of the sword suddenly pierce through his stomach. A few ounces of blood spilled from his mouth, Xue Yang's both eyes widen. He suddenly realized who stab him...

DAMN THAT HANGUANG-JUN!

He fell down between his knees, unable to fight back since the wound of his stomach hurt rapidly, he use his blade as his stick. "D-Damn!" he exclaimed while groaning in excruciating pain. Lan Wangji and Song Lan nod each other, where they walk towards him.

Song Lan never knew he had this day where Xue Yang is defeated to whatever wicked deed he is doing. As he sheathe his sword alongside with Lan Wangji, Xue Yang let our a wicked laugh much to Wei WuXian's annoyance who just went out just in time.

"Oh how pretty!" he scoffed, "The noble HanGuang-Jun defeated me, what an embarrassment..." he smirk in his words. Wei WuXian crossed his arms in annoyance, "Well I must say...I'm amazed how you still kept my amulet even it's powers are gone." he commented.

"Oh i'm very flattered Yiling Laozu...so your dizi gained the power of this?" Xue Yang finally pull out the Stygian Tiger Amulet and showed it to them. Wei WuXian nodded, "Yeah! and now cut off this crap!" he exclaimed, "How you and Guangyao knew the song of inquiry?" he asked.

Xue Yang let out another chuckle, "We always knew! Why do you think your reincarnated person is sent here in the first place?!" Wei WuXian raise an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"Oh...should I spoil y'all?! Ashley is not entirely your reincarnated person! She is cursed by Guangyao!" Xue Yang exclaimed.

"What??" Lan Wangji replied, Wei WuXian became confused of the sudden revelation. She is indeed my reincarnated person...but why this bastard keeps telling me she is not?! he deeply thought.

Song Lan unsheathe his sword and aim towards Xue Yang, "W-What do you mean by that?!"

"She is intentionally sent in this time to purposely ruin everything! Guangyao place a curse on her, which the half of your soul is on her hence, she is not aware that the timeline changed because of her on purpose!" Xue Yang briefly explained.
