The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 287 Rescuing the Trapped Woman

As they walked back, Wei WuXian began to ask, "Xiao YiYun, do these kinds of evil things often appear here?"

"Not really. For some reason, it's been relatively more these past two days."

"Did it start to increase in the past two days?"

Xiao Yiyun thought about it for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's right. I've lived here with Star Wolf for many years, and everything has been peaceful. It's only in the past two days that evil creatures have begun to appear."

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji exchanged a glance, and Wei Wuxian inquired, "Do you know if there's anything unusual here? We're new here and don't know much about it."

Xiao Yiyun scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "As for the anomaly, there have been strange noises coming from the woods to the west lately, as if something huge is moving through them, but every time I go to check, there's no trace of it."

Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up, and he felt that there must be something fishy going on, so he looked at Lan Wangji, who nodded slightly in agreement.

Wei Wuxian said goodbye to Xiao Yiyun.

So the two of them headed towards the woods to the west. As soon as they entered the woods, a chill hit them.

Wei Wuxian was on guard, holding Chen Qing in his hand. Lan Wangji, on the other hand, gripped the Bichen Sword tightly, ready to respond to any emergency.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the surrounding trees shook violently, and there seemed to be faint black shadows flashing.

Wei Wuxian played the Chen Qing (Chen Qing), and the melodious sound echoed through the woods. Following the sound, some evil spirits gradually emerged.

Lan Wangji seized the opportunity and drew his sword. A cold sword light flashed, and several evil spirits disappeared in an instant.

Just then, they discovered a cave emitting faint light under a big tree, which seemed to hide a bigger secret.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji cautiously approached the cave entrance, which was emitting a faint glow. The wind blowing out of the cave entrance carried a faint stench of decay, making them feel sick.

Wei Wuxian had Cai Luan scout the way, but they didn't notice any powerful restrictions inside the cave. Lan Wangji entered first, followed closely by Wei Wuxian.

The cave was dark and damp, with strange runes glittering on the walls. As I walked, the area ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a massive circular formation in the center. Within it lay a woman, pale but with a strange beauty.

At this moment, the man slowly opened his eyes, and with a cold gaze swept over the two of them, he began to question, "Who are you? Why are you trespassing into my territory?"

Wei WuXian smiled and explained his purpose, "Sorry, we came here to track down the evil spirit, not to trespass."

The man spoke more slowly, "I was originally a spiritual guardian of this land. A while ago, I was sealed here by an evil force, which is why evil spirits are rampant."

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji understood what was going on after hearing this.

Wei WuXian stepped forward and said, "In that case, we can help you break the seal."

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you have this ability?"

Lan Wangji looked at the formation expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "You can give it a try."

The two of them began to carefully explore the formation. Soon, Wei Wuxian discovered a key rune that, if destroyed, might partially unlock the seal.

Lan Wangji thrust his sword lightly, but the rune countered with a powerful electric current. Lan Wangji was thrown back a few steps, and Wei Wuxian hurried to support him.

Seeing this, the woman sneered, "Is that all you're capable of?"

Unwilling to admit defeat, Wei Wuxian once again tried to use Chen Qing to channel his spiritual energy into the rune. This time, although he also experienced some backlash, the effect was better than before. After several attempts, he finally succeeded in destroying the key rune, loosening the seal.

The woman's body shone brightly, and she broke free from most of the seals.

She stood up, stretched her body, and looked at the two of them. "I'm quite capable. I'll need your help in dealing with the evil spirits next."

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji smiled at each other, and the three of them walked out of the cave together, ready to clean up the rampant evil spirits together.

The three of them walked along a path where evil spirits frequently appeared. Wei Wuxian blew the Chen Qing from time to time, and asked Cai Luan to detect the location of the evil spirits in front.

Soon, a fog appeared ahead, and the smell of evil was extremely strong.

Lan Wangji whispered a warning: "Be careful."

The woman formed seals with her hands and emitted a ray of light, trying to dispel the fog, but it only slightly reduced the concentration of the fog.

Wei Wuxian's eyes rolled and an idea came to his mind. He activated Chen Qing and blew out a series of rapid notes.

In an instant, the surrounding vegetation grew wildly and swept towards the fog. The evil spirits were disturbed and appeared to attack.

Lan Wangji rushed into the enemy group like a ghost, the cold light of the Bichen Sword was sharp, and the evil spirits howled and dissipated wherever he went.

The woman cast a spell, creating curtains of light that trapped the evil spirit, making it easier for Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji to kill it.

The battle dragged on for a long time, and the number of evil spirits gradually dwindled. When the last evil spirit tried to escape, Wei Wuxian cast a talisman to immobilize it, and Lan Wangji killed it with a single sword strike.

When everything calmed down, the woman looked at the two men gratefully and said, "Thank you for your help. Now that the evil spirit has been eliminated, peace should be restored to this land."

Wei WuXian said with a carefree smile, "It's a small matter. But, do you want to continue guarding here?"

"Well, our ancestors have been guarding here for generations, and we can't leave."

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji didn't know what to say after hearing the woman say that.

Afterwards, he and Lan Wangji said goodbye to the woman and continued on their journey to find the Shadow Beast.

On the way, Xue Chonghai in Cailuan's body said: "That woman seems familiar to me!"

"You wouldn't say you're familiar with her just because she's pretty, right? Xue Chonghai didn't expect you to be such a person!" Wei Wuxian said jokingly.

"I really feel that she is somewhat familiar, but it's been so long that I can't remember clearly."

"How about I take you back and ask again?"

"No need, just do your business."

"Lan Zhan, why do I feel so tired? I've been out for so long and haven't had much rest. Can we find a place to have a good rest?"

Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian with some confusion, but still said, "Okay, let's go ahead and see if there's a suitable cave to rest in."

As the two continued searching, Lan Wangji's thoughts drifted away. "Normally, Wei Ying wouldn't be tired now that he's at the Nascent Soul stage. Could it be that he's been using his resentment these past few days, and his body can't handle it?"

Lan Wangji stepped forward, took Wei Wuxian’s hand, and began to feel his pulse.

"Lan Zhan, what's wrong?" Wei Wuxian asked in confusion.

"Wei Ying, you're feeling unwell. Is it because you've been using up too much resentment lately that you're feeling unwell?"
