Well crap that is definitely worse than anything else that could be happening involving Lan Zhan's magnificent breasts. She didn't even have the spare attention to be flustered or anything. 

All of them except Nie Huaisang get up and leave immediately. 

The Chang house is dark and still and silent.

"...There's no knocking. Was that waiter fucking with us?"

She holds up the Yin Iron in its bag. The bag glows blue, and stings her hand with cold.

"Yin Iron has been used here."

They approach the doors, only to stop when an ominous knocking sound echoes from the doorway. She and Jiang Cheng exchange looks. 

When the knocking subsides, she uses a talisman to push the doors open. 

They swing inward to reveal a pair of hanged corpses, and a gust of wind blows out of the courtyard, carrying the stench of death. 

Beyond the swinging corpses, the courtyard is littered with dozens of bodies. 

They walk inward, slowly, and Wei Ying kneels to examine one, the marks on it, the fresh, wet, red blood. 

"They died recently. But not quickly," she says, mouth set in a hard line. "Maybe if we had gotten here sooner..."

Those marks are familiar. The Yin Iron was used on these people before they died.

Lan Zhan holds the Yin Iron aloft, turning slowly with it in hand. The other shard has to be close by, if hers is responding like this...

Instead of any Yin Iron, here's some smirking asshole sprawled on one of the roofs.

"Welcome!" he drawls once they look in his direction, rising to his feet and drawing his sword.

"Did you do this? 'Cause if so, man, you suck."

"I might've! You don't like my redecorating?" He grins. "That's fine."

FWOOSH. 

Hello here is this other guy. 

"Xue Yang." 

Oh good! His night just got so much better!

"Xiao Xingchen... you're so persistent. You finally caught me, I was starting to get bored!"

"Since leaving Qishan, you've murdered dozens of cultivators, but always escaped me. That ends tonight." 

"Aww, Xiao Xingchen, are you going to punish me? You'll have to catch me first!"

He grins and nyooms away off of the roof.

Thwip. 

Thank you, Past Wei Ying, for creating the spell that will let her spider-man up in this bitch (is what she would be thinking if she had ever heard of spider-man). 

He can nyoom on back now. 

Well now they have to have their sexy duel in front of these twerp kids, which is pretty lame, but on the other hand something very unexpected happened! Unexpected things are great.

Xue Yang lands hard on his back. This is also pretty great.

He looks at the spider-man spell looped around his wrist and laughs. What a fun idea. Is Xiao Xingchen jealous that he didn't think of this? He should be. "That's funny," he calls to the kid holding the spell.

Xingchen would certainly disagree about the sexiness content of their duel if he knew about it. The only sexy dueling is when he's sparring with Song Lan. 

Anyway time for evil bitches to get stabbed. 

Nooooo don't stab me you're so sexy aha

No but actually he will block the strike and flip away. Xiao Xinchen is wrong; this sword fight is hot as hell and Xue Yang feels alive. Flip flip strike strike stab - 

Yoink. 

It was pretty annoying when Wei Ying yanked her around by the bonding spell, but on second thought it is even more annoying when Wei Ying yanks someone else around by the bonding spell. 

He goes flying off course a little ways and has to take some time to straighten himself out, scoffing. Dumb kids.

STAB. 

He spins away, but Xiao Xingchen's blade slices his cheek. He flips over his opponent's head; now he has a good angle to jab at his back - 

Yo~ink

Bitch.

And so he ends up held at sword point, infuriatingly. Xiao Xingchen looks pretty fucking smug for someone who didn't even beat him in a fair fight.

Because all the corpses on the floor totally got a fair fight, definitely. 

"There we go. You might want to reconsider your 'interior decorating' habits, they don't seem entirely healthy." 

"I think it suits the foul place," he sneers, yanking his hand against the spell. "This is a funny trick. It's a pretty powerful talisman, where'd you get it?"
