1 CH 1: I'm the reason he died

On the night I went to save the Wens, I met Lan Zhan. He is the only person who can stop me, I know I have this feeling that is different from how I feel about others, but I don't know if he feels the same thing. He called out to me, "Wei Ying" I stopped my horse, and turned around to face him, it was raining heavily that day, Wen Qing, Wen Ning, Uncle Fourth, Grandma, Wen Yuan and the others have gone, I stayed behind to talk out with him.

Wei Ying, "Lan Zhan, why are you here?"

Lan Zhan, "Wei Ying, come back, okay?"

Wei Ying shed a tear, "Lan Zhan, I know you care about me, but it might not be the care I want, I know you are the Hangguang-Jun everyone looked up to and sees you as their role model, but I don't deserve to stay by your side as the Yilling Laozu who has killed a thousand of people and harmed innocent people. I may be from Yunmeng Jiang, but I could be disowned anytime. I know I don't deserve you, but please let me go."

Lan Zhan was still looking at him, "Wei Ying..."

Wei Ying spoke up expecting he'd be rejected by him, after all who would dare side with him, moreover he is the public enemy right now. "Hangguang-Jun, If I am doomed to die one day, I wish I could die by your hands, that would make my life worthy." He said tearing up, after he said that he turned his horse and went to catch up with the others.

Lan Zhan was staring at the way Wei Ying went, he then saw him going far and far until he couldn't see him. He then let go of his umbrella and was soaked in the rain.

~Burial Mounds~

The 4 great sects, Yunmeng Jiang led by Jiang Cheng, Lanling Jin led by Jin Guangshan, Qinghe Nie clan led by Nie Mingjue, and Gusu Lan led by Zewu Jun lead the siege at Burial Mounds, Lan Zhan was there too, just as they we're fighting, Wei Wuxian, the Yilling Laozu turned everyone dead into a fierce corpse, Lan Zhan who was fighting his way to get to Wei Ying was shouting, "Wei Ying, stop!"

Wei Ying has noticed it and stopped for a while causing tens of corpse to vanish, Wei Ying then continued to play his Chenqing. After a while a clan leader shouted, "Yilling Laozu, hand over your Yin Hufu" (Stygian Tiger Amulet)

Wei Wuxian let out an evil laugh, and said, "Clan leader, are you executing justice or just want to take over my Yin Hufu?"

Jin Guangshan of Lanling Jin then spoke up, "Wei Wuxian, your Yin Hufu has brought many death to our clans, it's just right for you to hand it over to us, otherwise you'd use it until all of us are dead, not to mention your shidi, Jiang Cheng. You even killed your shijie who was kindest to you, don't you think we're right?"

Nie Mingjue spoke up, "What's with the chit chat, do you still have the strength to chat with him? This corpses are bothersome enough."

Wei Wuxian then let out the Yin Hufu, "You want it? I'll give it to you, get it yourself!" Saying that, Wei Wuxian broke it into pieces, it scattered in the battlefield while disciples of the clans started killing each other for it.

Wei Wuxian, "You say I'm evil, look at your disciples killing one another for my Yin Hufu, who do you think is more evil?" Saying that he faced into the cliff and looked down, he then took a look at the battlefield one more time and closed his eyes holding to his Chenqing and positioned to fall. Just as he was about to fall, someone caught his hand, he looked up and see the Lan sect's ribbon, as he looked at the person, it was Lan Zhan. He smiled.

Wei Ying, "Lan Zhan, let me go, you don't have to do this, you already rejected me, what's the use?"

Lan Zhan then spoke up, "Did I ever say no? Shut up and focus your strength in getting back up here!"

That was the first time Wei Ying heard Lan Zhan speak in such a tone. He smiled and Jiang Cheng showed up, he called to him, "Jiang Cheng"

Jiang Cheng's eyes is full of hatred, he then motioned his sword to Wei Ying, and poked the cliff end causing it to crack, before it completely did, Wei Ying forcibly let go of Lan Zhan's hand and fell off the cliff, Lan Zhan's eyes were dead when he saw him fell off the cliff, he shouted his name and Jiang Cheng faced to leave.

~The next day~

The news of Wei Wuxian, The Yilling Laozu who died at the siege at Burial Mounds spread throughout the continent, everybody then knew it, even story tellers use it to gain money by telling how exactly did he die.

Lan Zhan was lifeless ever since he died, the 4 major clans that led the siege celebrated for 3 days and 3 nights. Lan Zhan was angered especially to Jiang Cheng... He went out without anyone noticing, he went out and went to see the moon, it was a waning moon. He sighed, 'Wei Ying, are you still there? If you are, please come back. Why did you have to die? Am I really the reason why you did that?' Just as then a tear fell his eyes, Zewu Jun went out to look for his younger brother, he saw him outside and called out. "Wangji"

Lan Zhan didn't notice his brother calling out to him, so Zewu Jun patted his shoulder, "Wangji, what's on your mind?"

Lan Zhan then faced his brother, "Brother, did you know? When he went to free the Wens I met him, he confessed to me, but I didn't utter a word, and he said... said... that if he dies, he'd like to die by my hands, and that way, his life would be worth it." Lan Zhan said this crying, he lost his composure as the Hangguang-Jun everyone looked up to. Zewu Jun then knew that he really love him, but he's gone.

Zewu-Jun, "Wangji..."

Lan Zhan facing his brother, "Brother, I'm the reason he died, right?"

That was the second time Zewu-Jun saw him in that state, the first was when their mom died. Zewu-Jun's heart skipped a beat, he faced Wangji and said, "Wangji, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."
