"Great news! Wei WuXian has died!"

The ones in the older and middle timelines where shocked by the news along with the Juniors who hasn't been present when Wei Ying died.

'Didn't know this will be the start.' Wei Ying thought while Lan Zhan's grip tightened to a death grip in his wrist. 

"How is that great news? Our brother is dead and that is great news?!!", Jiang Cheng said with clenched fist. Yanli noticed A-Cheng's mood and held his hand, calming him down a little.

Less than a day has passed since the siege in LuanZang Hill, and the news spreads through the cultivation world as if it sprouted wings, surpassing even the speed of warfare.

"So this must be the siege on the Burial Mounds right, Hanguang-jun?", asked Jingyi, to which Sizhui nudged him noticing the atmosphere between Senior Wei and Lan Wangji.

For a while, from the most prominent clans to rogue cultivators, everyone is discussing the siege that was lead by the Four Great Clans and followed by hundreds of smaller ones.

"The YiLing Patriarch has died? Who could have killed him?"

"A-Xian where are we here? We could have at least attempted to protect you right?", asked Jiang Fengmian.

'Wei Wuxian, I may have been strict with you but I would also attempt to protect you', thought Yu Ziyuan but chose to just nod in agreement with her husband than say what she thought.

"Who other than his shidi, Jiang Cheng,

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng felt like he had just the coldest bath in the world. He felt nauseous as he nearly vomited if not for Jin Ling rubbing his back, feeling sorry for his soon-to-be uncle. 

" Father I would never do this ", Jiang Cheng pleaded with Jiang Fengmian as he consoled his son saying he must have a big reason.

 putting an end to his own relative for the greater good. Jiang Cheng led the Four Clans of YunmengJiang, LanlingJin, GusuLan, and QingheNie to destroy his "den"—LuanZang Hill."

"I must say, good riddance!"

"Good riddance indeed! We finally eliminated this scourge."

"Hypocrites!! He already died!! Why must you keep saying nonsense? You must have no manners because you don't even respect the dead!", said Wen Qing, who is shaking in anger at the words that are thrown to his brother (yes, I think Wen Qing considers Wei Ying her sibling so for those who ship them I'm sorry), while Wen Ning and Wei Ying is calming her down. 

"If not for the YunmengJiang clan's adopting and teaching him, he would have been a hobo living on the streets, let alone causing mayhem as bold as the ones these days. The head of the Jiang clan raised him as her own child, yet he defected them and became the enemy of the cultivation world, bringing shame upon the the Jiang clan, even leading to its near-extermination. He is the prime example of biting the hand that feeds him!"

"I'm sorry for the problems I caused Uncle Jiang, Madame Yu, Jiang Cheng, Shijie", Wei Ying said while looking down.

"Please don't say that, A-Xian.", Jiang Yanli said, with a gentle smile in her face.

"Jiang Cheng allowed this fellow to live for too long. If I were him, at the time of the defection, I wouldn't have just stabbed him. In fact, I would have thoroughly examined the disciples of the clan again, so that he doesn't do those crazy things he did later on. Who cares about the so called 'considerations' that he gave to his childhood friend."
