Xie Lian's POV:

Have you ever seen a devastating scene of a lover carrying his soulmate in his arms and wailing at the top of his lungs? Have you ever seen not tears but blood being shed at the sight of one's lifeless mate? Have you ever seen a soul clutching the other so tightly that they're scared to let them go?

I did.

I am seeing him right now. 

Watching Wei Wuxian silently being torn into pieces at the sight of Wangji's lifeless body is making me, a God cry in despair.

Jun Wu.

If he's is their only hope then I would personally go and beg him to help these two souls to reunite.

"San Lang."

"Gege?" He is surprised to see me.

Turning towards He Xuan I ask, "Is Jun Wu their only hope?"

"Yes, but knowing yours and his history, do you think he'll help?"

"For however absurd this might sound, Jun Wu has never denied me anything." With a sad smile I look at San Lang, "We're like two sides of the same coin. One exist because the other persists."

"Gege-"

"It's alright San Lang. Wei Wuxian helped us in our reunion. It's time for us to help them, and don't forget that man in his arms revers you as his Ba."

Kneeling in front of Wei Wuxian I place my palm on Wangji's head, "There is one way to save him." Hope swirls in his dark orbs, "How?"

"We need to make a short journey towards Tonglu Mountain, resident to the only person who can save our Wangji, your Lan Zhan."

"Who is it?"

"Jun Wu."

Using the short distance array in matter of seconds we all are teleported to Tonglu Mountain. Oh this brings back some old memories.

"Gege?"

Turning back to San Lang, threading our fingers together I assure him, "I am alright. Don't worry about me. Till San Lang is there to protect me, I have nothing to be worried about."

Catching me by surprise he quickly but tenderly kisses my lips, "I'll always be by your side my Dianxia. Always." His words warm my heart and soon we proceed towards the small hut that housed Jun Wu and Guoshi.

As we reach the gates of a well kept hut, it wasn't a surprise to see a man in his 30's appearing at the gate to greet us with a warm and familiar smile.

"Guoshi." With a bow I pay my respects and San Lang joins me.

"Been a long time XianLe, Hua Cheng. His Highness has been waiting for you all." His words astonish me though it shouldn't have. "Please. This way." Gesturing us in, my eyes rover to a divan placed at the centre of the room. Guoshi requests Wei Wuxian to rest Wangji on the soft divan.

Nodding at San Lang, I walk into an adjacent room where the man who I once most revered to was sitting and gazing at the moon with his back facing me. His hair was let loose and then cascaded beautifully all over his back.

"We meet again XianLe." His voice makes me gasp inwardly for it is as welcoming as ever. If I hadn't know who he really is, I would believe he is the same Jun Wu from before. "I knew you would come to meet me. I had a premonition about you."

"Will you help?" Not one to beat around the bush, I ask with a hope that he will give me a positive answer.

Slowly getting up from his seat he turns to face me and my eyes widen. His face is covered with a ... white mask. No...

"XianLe, nothing in this world would make me more happy than to redeem my past deeds but even then nothing would change and yet my soul is condemned." Taking a step closer to me his voice is even more gentler, "Take me to that soul, XianLe. I would like to meet him."

Showing him the way, we enter the main living room where I watch Guoshi place his palm on Wangji's head and close his eyes.
San Lang is alert as ever and even though he knew to trust my judgement, his concern for me would never diminish. Walking slowly next to Guoshi, Jun Wu's voice is soft as he enquires, "How is the child?"

"His pulse is very weak Your Highness. He won't survive for long." Hearing those words we watch Wei Wuxian nearly collapse with defeat and if not for Sizhui holding him, I am sure Wei Wuxian would have fallen down.

"Can you save him? Can you save my Lan Zhan? Even..." biting his lips and pushing Sizhui gently away, Wei Wuxian falls onto his knees and bows down at Jun Wu's feet and questions, "Can you save him? Even if I can collect some of his dispersed soul, it would still mean that he's by my side. Can I have that? They told me you're the only one who can save him... Can you?"

Watching the powerful Yiling Patriarch fall at the feet of a man who once was equally powerful is gut wrenching. How did it come to this? Weren't they destined to be together for eternity?

"I can." Jun Wu's answer is loud and clear and slowly crouching in front of Wei Wuxian, placing an arm tenderly on his shoulders he assures, "I can, but there is a price to pay Wei Wuxian."

"Anything." It was an answer of desperation.

"Your soulmate's soul will be transferred but after that he would be a mere mortal. No longer will he be the man whom you once knew. He will change. He will be different. I am unsure if his memories would be the same from his previous life, but the man you once loved will be gone forever. Are you ready to pay that price?"

Clutching Jun Wu's hand, Wei Wuxian nods, "If I am never with him again, if we are never together again, it won't matter to me for I will be his shadow forever and walk the path that he has graced upon. To even look at him from afar is all I need. Save him even he forgets all about me."

Turning to San Lang my heart wrenches to even think if it is possible of me to live a life like this. Haven't you gone through the same San Lang? Didn't you once see me not remember you and lead a life that was so painful. How did you?

"XianLe, you have some strong faithful friends. To have them is a boon." As gentle as ever, Jun Wu bows in front of Wangji's pale body, "We will shift Wangji outside where there is an open space."

It was San Lang who carefully hoists Wangji in his arms and this would probably be the first time I have witnessed San Lang's eyes emoting indepth sadness. Carefully placing him on the ground, Jun Wu bows his head lightly towards the formidable Ghost King Supreme and makes a request, "This child has a spiritual device, a sword. Does anyone have it?"

Sizhui from his cloak produces Bichen and hands it over to Jun Wu.

"Now, I need something from you too Wei Wuxian."

"Please?"

"The Red Ribbon that has always binded you two for all lifetimes. I need that Red Ribbon." Without much thought Wei Wuxian pulls out the Red Ribbon that tethered his hair together. What was once tied, the next second comes undone and his thick tresses cascades around his back.

Turning towards Akio, Jun Wu requests, "You my child posses the sacred Gusu Forehead band of Lan Wangji. Could you kindly give that to me?"

Taking a step forward, Akio unties the band around his forehead and wordlessly hands it over to Jun Wu. The band Akio adorned on his head was the same that Wei Wuxian had pulled it off from Lan Wangji whilst he was disappearing. Wei Wuxian handed that band to Akio and had asked him to keep it safe. Today it would be a medium to bring back that one soul who binds them all together.

Gesturing Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo to stand together, Jun Wu opines, "As you Xiao Zhan has part of Wei Wuxian's soul within you, that soul shall guide Lan Wangji's soul when we transfer it into Wang Yibo's. To act as a medium, we shall tie this sacred forehead band around your wrists."

Once the two were united, he turns towards Wei Wuxian and seeks his hand. "I will tie your Red Ribbon onto both your wrists to bind you two. With this precious sword, Bichen, I shall pierce his heart and Guoshi here will assist me in transferring the soul from one body to another."

Raising his eyes to meet mine he smiles, "XianLe, you have Crimson Rain Sought Flower's power coursing within you. You're powerful. I need you to create a strong barrier. Let nothing from outside to enter nor this barricade should diminish."

Lastly turning towards San Lang, Jun Wu smiles kindly, "If only we had met under different circumstances. We both co-existed peacefully for all these years. Hua Cheng, it's been an honor." With that Jun Wu closes his eyes and a blinding light engulfs us all. I could feel San Lang creating a barrier of his own to protect Sizhui and Akio while He Xuan was poised in his warrior mode.

Wangji's body slowly rises in mid air and a from wihin him a golden line tears open his body. It surprises me to find Wang Yibo's unconscious body rising mid air and facing Wangji's.

A strong wail pierces the air as we watch in horror as Wangji's small body is almost torn open and as the blinding soul was almost wrenched out of him, Jun Wu pushes himself off the ground, jumps up high in the air and wields Bichen, only to slice Wangji's heart completely.

His body convulses and the piercing noise was now bleeding out.

"Lan Zhan!!!" With one last yell from Wei Wuxian, Jun Wu completely thrusts the sword into Wangji's heart and this other hand rips out the remaining few soul from his body and uses Bichen again to pierces the almost dispersed soul into Wang Yibo's.

The impact of this transfusion was felt by Xiao Zhan who eyes now blazed red and jumped high up in the air to hold Wang Yibo in his arms as red and blue light clashes against eachother around them.

Watching Wangji fall on the ground Wei Wuxian is quick enough to catch him and the last person my eyes sought was Jun Wu gazing back at me as white light blinds my eye and all I could hear was San Lang's "Gege!!!"
