Chapter 1050 [The Untamed 24]
Everyone came to the bustling market in Liyang. Wei Wuxian was extremely excited and looked around like a child. When he saw a wine shop, he rushed in impatiently and bought several jars of fine wine with a wave of his hand.
While tasting the wine, Wei Wuxian chatted with the waiter. He asked curiously, "Has anything strange happened in Liyang recently?"
When the waiter heard this, his expression became a little serious. He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, you really asked the right person. There has indeed been some unrest in Liyang recently."
Wei WuXian quickly asked, “Oh? Tell me about it.”
The waiter pointed to a house not far away and said, "Look at that house, isn't it beautiful? That's the residence of the Chang family, a distinguished family stationed in Liyang. Originally, there were more than a dozen people living in this house, but recently it has suddenly become deserted and there is not a single person to be seen."
Wei WuXian frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
The waiter went on to say, "What's even stranger is that at night, there would be banging noises coming from the house. The noise was terrifying, as if someone was locked in and couldn't get out."
The more Wei Wuxian listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he decided to go to the Chang's mansion to find out. At this moment, the Yin Iron in Lan Wangji's arms suddenly made a strange movement, and Lan Wangji's face turned pale in an instant.
He held the Yin Tie tightly, and some terrible scenes kept flashing in his mind, as if he saw the tragic scene that happened in the Chang’s mansion.
Seeing this, Wei WuXian asked with concern: "Lan Zhan, what's wrong with you?"
Lan Wangji calmed himself down and said, "This Yin Iron seems to have sensed something. I want to go to the Chang's mansion to take a look."
Without saying anything, Wei Wuxian immediately said that he would go with them. However, Nie Huaisang, who was standing by, backed away in fear, waving his hands and saying, “I… I won’t go. I’m timid and afraid of ghosts…”
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "You coward, then you can just stay here."
So, Jiang Cheng decided to stay and accompany Nie Huaisang, while Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and a few others went to the Chang's mansion together.
When they arrived at the Chang's mansion, they saw that the door was closed, and the surroundings were quiet, with an eerie atmosphere.
Wei Wuxian went forward and pushed the door, only to find that it was locked from the inside. After a brief thought, he used his spiritual power to open the door easily.
As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of blood hit them. When everyone looked closely, they saw two corpses in red hanging at the door, their eyes were wide open, as if they had died with their eyes open.
Walking into the mansion, the scene was even more horrific, with blood all over the floor, as if a terrible massacre had just taken place here.
Wei Wuxian and the others carefully searched every room and found that everyone had been brutally killed and their eyes had been gouged out, making them look like puppets.
Wei Wuxian and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea who would be so cruel to kill someone. At this moment, Lan Wangji suddenly said, "Everyone be careful, something is happening!" Upon hearing this, everyone quickly followed Lan Wangji and slowly turned around.
A man in black night clothes was standing on the eaves of the house, like a ghost. Wei Wuxian rushed forward without hesitation and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
However, the man in black just smiled and did not answer Wei Wuxian's question.
Seeing this, everyone thought the man in black was quite strange, so they all stepped forward to surround him. After a fierce fight, they finally subdued the man in black and tied him up.
Wei Wuxian and the others began to search the man in black, hoping to find the whereabouts of the Yin Iron from him. However, to their disappointment, they searched the man in black thoroughly but still found no trace of the Yin Iron.
“Isn’t the Yin Iron on him?” Wei Wuxian muttered to himself.
“It’s possible. He might have hidden the Yin Iron somewhere in the Chang family’s residence.” Lan Wangji analyzed calmly.
So, everyone started searching everywhere in the Chang family's house. They searched through boxes and cabinets, leaving no corner untouched, but in the end, they found nothing.
Wei WuXian walked up to the man in black in a rage and shouted, “Tell me! Where did you hide the Yin Iron? Did Wen RuoHan instruct you to do this?”
The man in black remained silent, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.
“Are you going to tell me or not?” Wei Wuxian’s patience had reached its limit.
At this moment, Nie Huaisang, Jiang Cheng, and Meng Yao hurried over. Nie Huaisang panted and said, "Oh no! Jin Guangshan received a secret letter from Lan Xichen, inviting Lan Wangji to Qinghe for a gathering."
After Meng Yao led everyone to the unclean world, he said to everyone with a serious expression: "Recently, Wen Ruohan, the head of the Wen family, sent someone to deliver a message, requiring all the major families and other immortal sects to select their own disciples and send them to Mount Qishan. If you don't do so, Wen Ruohan will send someone to invite you personally."
When Nie Huaisang heard this, his face turned pale in an instant. He said in panic, "What should I do? I am the only disciple of the Nie family. I really don't want to go to Qishan for training, and I don't want to be used as a hostage!"
Just when Nie Huaisang was extremely anxious, a figure slowly walked out of the crowd. Everyone looked closely and found that it was Nie Huaisang's elder brother, Nie Mingjue. Nie Mingjue was tall and strong, with an imposing manner. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to carry an invisible pressure.
Nie Mingjue's appearance made everyone present marvel. His majestic demeanor and powerful aura made everyone feel in awe of him. Nie Huaisang had always been afraid of his elder brother, and at this moment he was trembling with fear. He lowered his head and timidly called out, "Elder brother..."
Nie Mingjue looked at Nie Huaisang's behavior and couldn't help but say, "Stop being so aggressive. You're acting like I've bullied you."
"Brother, no, I just respect you." Nie Huaisang quickly explained.
