[ " Hey have you heard the rumors? "
" What were they then? "
" I heard that Wei WuXian is just a walking sarcophagus, nothing much different with the walking corpses, it's even said that he will die soon! Shame on him !" ]
This news had spread like a handful of dust across the cultivation world starting from the northern lands to the southern lands, everyone was now aware that the famous founder of demonic cultivation was seriously ill and would die soon. Some blamed it on his own schemes that had gotten the better of him, and others thought he had been poisoned. Hypotheses only differed among the cultivators, they didn't even know the real cause that would put the great Wei Wuxian under the ground but simply liked to move their lips in the name of this one to accuse him once again.
Actually it should be a secret subject, but among mortals no subject ever stays buried for long before everyone knows about it. It was then that the rumor began to spread among the apprentices, the doctors who were able to meet the sick man, the merchants until it was unstoppable.
[ " Ah? Could he be that seriously ill to die ? I mean, we are stalking about Wei Wuxian! the man who killed thousands of people by himself without the help of any one ! it seems to be like a fault rumour, a dream!"
" Dear, the cultivation world will finally be rid of this demon and this time Lan Wangji won't be able to save him. "
" It will finally fall! The demon will finally fall! We've had enough trouble like this because of him. "
" Hey, but apparently all the crimes he is accused of is actually a trap he fell into. "
" Those are just rumors, the real demon is him! " ]
Wei Wuxian was a feared cultivator within the Hero Headquarters itself. He was considered as the cause of the evils that tortured this world. Everyone wanted to go against him, but his so-called demonic powers were unlimited, since then, everyone feared him some worshipped him like they will do with a certain deity because there was finally one man in this world able of standing up to the four largest primordial sects.
But it's known that the risks of taking such a path and Wei Wuxian wasn't an exception to that rule, his cultivation finally got the better of his heart and body, no remedy seemed to work for the sudden progression of his illness, and this time even his now husband Lan Wangji who had never let go of his hand before, opposing his own sect in the past for the sake of the one he had always been in love with, he couldn't find any solutions to heal his beloved. So time passed, Wei Wuxian was waiting for death to come and get him.
