When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

Wen Chao looked down at him and said, "You have some courage to say such things in front of me."

Immediately afterwards, Chang Ci'an was beaten again.

Wen Chao waved his hand to ask them to stop: "Say it or not."

Chang Ci'an really didn't know what he was talking about, and didn't know how to respond, so she didn't say anything.

Wen Chao said: "I didn't expect that you are still so strong even at this age."

Wen Chao just glanced at the person behind him, and then that person took out a bag to seal evil from his body.

Then Wei Wuxian saw Wen Chao pull out a knife from inside.

It was the sword that belonged to the ancestor of the Nie family, and there were runes with twisted and strange lines painted on it.

The function of this rune should be to isolate the outside world and suppress the evil spirit on the blade.

As he looked at it, Wei Wuxian suddenly felt that the talisman drawn on the knife looked familiar. It was very similar to a talisman he created that could isolate resentment.

Wei WuXian moved closer to examine it more carefully, and discovered that the direction of the runes drawn on it was exactly the same as the talisman he had created.

Wei Wuxian began to wonder how Wen Chao got these talismans.

The first possibility that could be ruled out was that Wen Chao stole it when he wasn't paying attention. After all, the successive tests that he had encountered on Wei Wuxian before were enough to prove that although Wen Chao was certain that Wei Wuxian was using the Ghost Path, he was also skeptical.

It is even more difficult to imagine what will come from his practice of the ghost way.

For all the magical instruments that Wei Wuxian researched, there would be drafts, and then the final version would be compiled into a booklet. The runes on this knife were obviously from the final version, which was the one in Wei Wuxian's final booklet.

Before the news of Wei Wuxian's practice of the ghost way was announced to all the immortal sects, in addition to Lan Wangji and Qiyuan who knew it clearly, there was a third person who knew about it.

He was interested in everything Wei Wuxian studied, and Wei Wuxian never tried to avoid him. He also had access to only one person who had the talent to copy down what he saw.

Xue Yang.

In the past few years, Wei Wuxian has lived back and forth between the Lotus Pier, the Cloud Recesses, and the Pear Garden in Yiling, and he has compiled more than one booklet.

If you count them carefully, there are no less than three, at least one in each place is absolute.

Because these were things Wei Wuxian made himself, he remembered them all. He might not think of them at other times, but he would definitely remember them when he needed them.

After that thing turned into a volume, Wei WuXian didn't look at it often, and just placed it casually on the bookshelf like an ordinary book.

Therefore, Xue Yang could easily see and be familiar with the things he made in Liyuan and Lianhuawu.

Thinking of this, Wei WuXian seemed to understand how Xue Yang had escaped from Wen Chao and his men at the mass grave.

Xue Yang found out what Wen Chao would be interested in among his manuscripts and used them as bargaining chips, and then used his own life as a guarantee to make Wen Chao believe that Tie Jian was in Chang Zhai.

"bet".

The reason why it is called a "gamble" with one's own life as collateral is that according to the time, when Xue Yang met Wen Chao at the mass grave, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were still in the Cloud Recesses.

Xue Yang didn’t know when Wei Wuxian would come back. He only knew that the Chang family of Liyang would come to Lotus Pier for help in the next few days, so he was particularly abnormal during those days.

Fortunately, when Wei Wuxian saw him that day, he thought Xue Yang was sick these days.

In fact, to be more precise, after Xue Yang escaped from the mass grave, he could have been under the protection of the Jiang family without having to worry about anything, and he didn't have to go to the Chang residence.

As long as you don't go to some dangerous places alone, you don't have to worry about your lies being exposed and then being retaliated by Wen Chao.

There is no need to "gamble" on anything.

But perhaps it was precisely because Xue Yang knew that there were people lying in ambush in Liyang. If he did not go, Wen Chao and the others in the dark would know in advance that they had been deceived.

Then what Xue Yang wanted to do would not happen completely.

So in order to take revenge on the Chang family and to be able to kill someone with a borrowed knife, Xue Yang, who was not originally among Jiang Cheng's entourage, volunteered to go along.

These things were Wei Wuxian's most accurate guesses based on what he knew. After all, when Xue Yang confessed to him, he did not tell him how he escaped from Wen Chao.

Wen Chao is not a good person, especially after experiencing the ups and downs of his family.

Looking at the bright and sharp sword in Wen Chao's hand, Chang Ci'an and Chang Ping'an were both so frightened that they trembled all over and couldn't help wanting to retreat.

The smartest thing Wen Chao had done since he came up with his own plan was to use his own sword to kill someone, which would leave evidence for investigation, while using someone else's would not.

So, with a few strokes of the knife, Wen Chao cut off one of Chang Ci'an's arms.

Blood splattered all over Chang Ping, and the severed arm fell beside his leg. Chang Ping screamed in fear and kicked the ground with both feet, but when he tried to retreat, he was held down by the black-robed monk.

The man in black next to him let go of Chang Ci'an, who had lost an arm, and fell straight to the ground with a distorted face and wailing in pain.

Despite such a bloody scene, Wen Chao's eyes seemed to be filled with smiles. He touched the blood on the blade in a very perverted way and repeated, "Say it or not?"

Chang Ci'an, who was almost dying from the pain, replied with difficulty: "What did you say?"

Chang Ci'an really didn't know what to say, but to Wen Chao's ears, these three words sounded like he was being stubborn and making excuses.

So the next second, one of Chang Ci'an's legs was also removed.

It's that simple and casual.

Wen Chao didn't even blink during the whole process. This bloody scene made Wei Wuxian feel sick. He turned away and said, "You humans are so cruel. You kill people like you slaughter pigs. I can't bear to watch it."

After his legs were removed, Chang Ci'an was completely unable to make any sound. His vocal cords had been torn in his painful roars, and he coughed violently and vomited blood.

All that was left of the whole person was a tiny groan begging for mercy.

Chang Ping was so frightened that she was shaking like a sieve, her face was pale and she couldn't utter a word.

At this moment, Wen Chao shifted his gaze from Chang Ci'an to him.

Chang Ping was shaking even more violently. He reacted quickly and kowtowed to Wen Chao: "Please let me go, please let me go..."

He repeated these words several times in a row.
