Nightless City
Wei Wuxian stood on the rooftop, holding Chenqing, watching as the immaculate, white-clad gentleman flew toward him with Bichen in hand. His heart sank slightly. "Lan Zhan, are you going to kill me too?"
Lan Wangji: "Wei Ying, put down Chenqing!"
Wei Wuxian: "Lan Zhan, if my death is fated today, I hope to die by your sword, Hanguang-Jun. Do it!"
......
Suddenly, Jiang Yanli's voice drifted up from below: "A-Xian~~ A-Xian~~"
Wei Wuxian leaped down. "Shijie~~"
Jiang Yanli: "A-Xian, why did you run so fast? I haven't even had a proper look at you yet......"
......
(For specific details, refer to the Nightless City sequence in The Untamed.)
Watching with his own eyes as Shijie died to save him, Wei Wuxian completely broke down.
"Isn't it the Stygian Tiger Seal you all want? Fine, then fight for it with your own abilities!" With these words, Wei Wuxian forcefully hurled the Stygian Tiger Seal downward.
Wei Wuxian stood on the rooftop holding Chenqing, watching the various cultivation sects fight over the artifact and slaughter one another. He burst into loud laughter, his heart as dead as ash. Then, he leaped toward the cliff.
"Wei Ying, come back," Lan Wangji said, looking at Wei Wuxian on the edge of the cliff, his voice filled with worry and terror.
Standing on the precipice, Wei Wuxian did not answer at those words, thinking to himself, *Come back? Back to where? In this world, there is no longer a home for him, no place left for him to belong.* With a desolate smile, he closed his eyes, a tear sliding down from his eye, and his body fell backward.
Lan Wangji was startled, leaping forward and narrowly catching Wei Wuxian's arm. Fresh blood streamed down the arm, soaking Wei Wuxian's clothes.
"Lan Zhan," Wei Wuxian opened his eyes and whispered, looking at the person holding onto him.
"Lan Zhan, let go!" Wei Wuxian gazed at him steadily, his eyes holding a depth of affection he himself had not realized was there.
At that moment, Jiang Cheng strode step by step to the edge of the cliff with Sandu in hand, his eyes brimming with hatred as he looked at Wei Wuxian.
Looking at Jiang Cheng standing at the edge of the cliff, looking into those eyes filled with hatred, Wei Wuxian murmured softly, "Jiang Cheng."
"Wei Wuxian, go die!" Jiang Cheng's voice rang out, and the sword in his hand came down with it.
"Jiang Wanyin, stop!" Lan Wangji shouted sternly.
Seeing the sword about to strike, Wei Wuxian panicked. At that moment, fearing only that the blade would land on Lan Wangji's arm, Wei Wuxian violently shook off Lan Wangji's grip and plummeted rapidly downward.
"Wei Ying!" Lan Wangji cried out in despair, then vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed unconscious.
That cry of despair startled the cultivation sects who were still fighting over the Stygian Tiger Seal. Everyone turned to look toward the cliff. Lan Xichen hurried over to support Lan Wangji, his usually gentle and refined face now full of anxiety.
Cultivation sects: "Jiang Sect Leader, where is the Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian?"
Jiang Cheng: "Dead."
Within mere breaths, the cultivation sects recovered from their shock and erupted into cheers, shouting, "The Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian is dead!"
When everyone finally came to their senses and went to look for the Stygian Tiger Seal, it had already vanished without a trace. Afterward, the various cultivation sects dispersed, and Lan Wangji was carried back to the Cloud Recesses by Lan Xichen.
Jingshi
Lan Wangji lay quietly on the bed while Lan Xichen continuously channeled spiritual energy into him. Lan Qiren stood anxiously nearby, but no matter how they called to him, Lan Wangji showed no response at all. Lan Qiren walked into the Jingshi with hurried steps, his face full of anxiety.
Lan Qiren: "Xichen, what happened? How did Wangji get hurt?"
Lan Xichen: "Uncle, Young Master Wei jumped off the cliff and died."
Hearing this, Lan Qiren was deeply shocked. Lan Xichen recounted the events of the Nightless City siege. Lan Qiren let out a long sigh and said, "Xichen, take good care of Wangji."
