As everyone was waiting for Lan Xichen to make a statement, a disciple from the Jin family, who was on duty outside, brought in a member of the Lan Wangji's Blue family. Those who had fought alongside The Lan family during the Sunshot Campaign immediately recognized the newcomer as a trusted aide of Lan Wangji.
The man hurried to Lan Xichen's side and whispered a few words in his ear, causing Lan Xichen to turn pale with shock.
"Gold Master, everyone, there's an urgent matter at home. Lan Xichen takes his leave first."
After saying this, he didn't bother with any courtesy and directly left with his people. That speed definitely didn't comply with the Lan family rule of "no fast walking."
The departure of the Lan from Gusu interrupted the original topic. The affiliated Immortal Sects of the Nie and Lan families secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for a period of observation. Jin Guangshan gave a glance to a nearby confidant, who then quietly left. Before long, a golden paper butterfly flew out from the Golden Forest Platform, heading in the direction of Gusu.
When Lan Xichen rushed to the foot of the secluded mountain, he found that the mountain guarding array was fully activated.
The Shoushan Array of The Lan family has three levels of protection. The first level is the prohibition of entry and exit, the second level is the reinforcement of spiritual power, and the third level is concealment. When all three levels of protection are activated, the outside appears only as a scene of swirling clouds and mist, making it difficult for even Wen Ruohan to approach. When Wen Xu led the arson at Cloud Recesses, only the daily entry and exit prohibition was activated due to the suddenness of the incident, leading to a major mistake.
As the head of the Lan family, Lan Xichen naturally could not be harmed by the Shoushan Array. However, when he and his party entered the mountain through a safe passage, he could hardly believe what he saw.
The originally clean school grounds are now a sea of blood. After the crisp sound of swords, a head came flying through the air and rolled to Lan Xichen's feet. It was bloody, eyes wide open in death, and the severed neck still showed traces of icy blue spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy of the The Lan family is all blue, varying in depth due to differences in bloodline, aptitude, and the quality of their golden cores. Ice blue is the highest quality, and currently in the Gusu Lan Clan, only two people have ice blue spiritual energy. One is Lan Xichen himself, and the other is naturally...
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness! What are you trying to do?"
Lan Xichen had never been so angry before. In an instant, he had gone through a thousand thoughts, but none could reasonably explain Lan Wangji's abnormal behavior.
"The older brother has returned."
Lan Wangji's tone was indifferent, not at all like a living person. There were still traces of blood on his face, and the bloodstains on his clothes had accumulated layer by layer, with many areas already dried. Looking at the decapitated bodies, there were probably no less than twenty people, and upon closer inspection, they seemed to be the spies who had been captured and imprisoned by Lan Wangji in the hidden cells of the Cloud Recesses.
"Brother, there's no need to panic. They simply received the punishment they deserved."
"You should know that even if they were spies, they are not people from the Lan in Suzhou. By doing this, how can you justify it to the Lan's family!" (serious and angry)
"No need to explain."
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness?"
Wei Wuxian held the Bichen in his hand and gently pointed to the nearest decapitated body.
"This, in order to gain fame, privately released evil spirits and fabricated a murder case, killing five innocent monks."
"......"
"This, relying on the power of Immortal Sect, has oppressed the private sector, forcing a village of common people into starvation."
"......"
"This, has poisoned two members of the collateral branch of The Lan family."
"......"
Whichever direction he pointed, Lan Wangji would straightforwardly list the crimes committed by that person, each one involving a matter of life and death, none of them involving wanton killing of the innocent. This made Lan Xichen's heart ache, a surge of anger rushing through him, causing him to black out.
"Enough. Even if you have a strong case, your actions today are too reckless."
"Reckless? I'm just doing my duty to eliminate evil."
"In terms of reasoning, each family should handle their own internal affairs, and The Lan family overstepped by forcibly detaining him. Wangji, what... what are you thinking? I just can't understand." (Feeling powerless)
"He killed someone, because he had no basis, so he was slandered, criticized, and reviled. Now that I have killed someone, with reason and evidence, how should the various families judge me? Brother, guess, will they also come to besiege the Cloud Recesses? Or should I just accept it?"
Mockery, desolation, indifference. At this moment, Lan Xichen read this from his own younger brother's eyes, those pair of crystal-clear amber colored glaze, seemed to have lost their brightness stained by blood.
He knew Lan Wangji was talking about Wei Wuxian, but couldn't understand why he would abandon his principles that he had held for twenty years and act recklessly. "Knowing it's impossible, yet still doing it," (murmuring)
" Wangji, what are you saying?"
"Elder brother, do you think I can be considered... as someone who knows the right path but still chooses to go astray?"
Lan Xichen almost took in a sharp breath, unable to regain his composure for a while. The suffocating coldness made him entertain the absurd idea of "little brother falling into demonic cultivation." Because other than that, he couldn't think of any other reason. His brother— Lan Zhan Lan Wangji, the revered Hanguang-Jun of the Gusu Lan Sect—how could he act so contrary to reason!?
Lan Wangji seemed to see the confusion of his own brother and didn't mind explaining:
"Spiritual resentment knows no difference, cultivating immortality is also cultivating demons. Since I cannot save him, then I will become him."
Lan Xichen's lips trembled incessantly, and the unclear thoughts made his hands uncontrollably tremble slightly.
" Wangji You..."
"Hanguang must stand opposite to Ancestor Yiling, but Lan Zhan will always stand by Wei Ying."
When a Buddhist disciple goes astray, what will happen next?
