Lan Zhan tears his eyes away from Wei Ying and looks at the source of laughter. A man in dark robes with an evil smirk on his face forced Lan Zhan to take a much more alert stance.

XY: (laughing boisterously) What a great surprise. Yiling Laozu himself has decided to come to me.

WY: (Smirks) Indeed. And your luck is about to get worse. Too bad you didn’t check your horoscope before coming here.

Hearing him Xue Yang starts to laugh again. Meanwhile Lan Zhan was surprised that the infamous Yiling Laozu who was known for his crafty tricks and demonic cultivation and whom Lan Zhan hoped to defeat one day, was none other than his husband. With a great difficulty Lan Zhan pushed his thoughts aside and decided to focus on Xue Yang. It was clear there were many things he still didn’t know about his husband.

XY: Well since you are here why don’t you teach me some of demonic stuff?

WY:(smirks) I’ll do something better. I’ll capture you and take you back to Gusu with me.

Suddenly Wei Ying throws some golden strings like energy towards Xue Yang. But Xue Yang was not easy to catch, so he dodged his attack and vanished into thin air. And the zombies started attacking them once more. Soon there was dark smoke surrounding them. It made them unable to see clearly.

Wei Ying started to play his flute and kept the zombies at bay, whichever managed to overcome his control Lan Zhan Sliced them in hundreds pieces.

WY: Lan Zhan, they won’t stop coming at us unless we manage to capture Xue Yang. It’s hard to see in this mist, but we have to find him.

LZ: (nods)Mn

Lan Zhan Closes his eyes and tries to focus on some other sound, than the noises from the corpses. Suddenly he hears a sharp noise, as if someone used their sword and heads over to that direction.

Lan Zhan finds him soon enough and even through all the distractions and mist he manages to fight with Xue Yang as if nothing else was bothering him. As he keeps Xue Yang busy the mist starts clearing off.

XY: (smirks) Indeed the famous Hanguan Jun has impeccable sword skills.

Without any reply he attacks Lan Zhan, however suddenly a corpse comes in front of him and gets stabbed, thus blocking his attack. Wei Ying appears next to Lan Zhan whilst laughing.

WY: Looks like these corpses aren’t loyal to you after all.

XY: ( smirks) As expected from Yiling Laozu.

Before they can attack him he runs away and the place is again covered by mist, even more than before, making them unable to see anything.

WY: Lan Zhan, something is wrong. I think the mist is poisoned, and if we move too much it can kill us.

LZ: What shall we do?

WY: We can’t fight him here. If we try we will only end up dead. I’ll use these corpses to any attacks reaching to us. You find an exit, we have to leave as soon as possible.

LZ: We can’t leave without capturing him.

WY: LAN ZHAN!! Stop being stubborn, we have to be smart.

LZ: Mn (Leaves)

Wei Ying hopes that Lan Zhan will be back soon but he is gone even after a while has passed. The attacks start lessening so he calls out to his husband, however instead of Lan Zhan Xue Yang appears in front of him.

……. Few hours later…..

As Lan Zhan wakes up he remembers how as he was hit in the head by something when he has fending off Xue Yang. He looks around and realises the mist has cleared, and it was evening. He calls his husband but no one answers. He panics and shouts again.

LZ: WEI YING!! WHERE ARE YOU!!

And thus soon he realises he was the only one present in this house.
