Wen Qing, her brother, and others who weren't really cultivators. They gained the protection of Wei Wuxian who in the process broke with the Jiang sect and took them to the Yiling burial mounds. He was..." Xichen pauses, rubs a hand over his face.

"He'd taken to demonic cultivation practices and was no longer following the proper path, but as long as they were left alone, things were more or less calm. Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli wed and had a son and invited Wei Wuxian to his one month celebration. There was an altercation and Jin Zixuan and several others including Jin Zixun were killed by Wen Ning on the Qiongqi path which led to the deaths of Wen Qing, Wen Ning and the eventual siege of the burial mounds.

Wangji...protected Wei Wuxian and fought members of our own sect, injuring many before he was subdued. Wei Wuxian died there." Fingers curl in the fabric of his robes before he continues. "Wangji was punished with the disicipline for the damage he'd done and has been in seclusion ever since. He's only recently been able to move as freely as he did before all of this."
