The Massacre

The Wen sect starts to attack the Lotus Pier and its shield formation. The shield eventually breaks and Yu Ziyuan leads her two sons into battle. However, the fight is too huge to handle and Yu Ziyuan decided to put Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng on a boat to safety. The mother and son share a tearful goodbye and Yu Ziyuan hands over the Zidian to Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian is made to promise that he will protect Jiang Cheng with his life and the two children leaves against their will. They spot Jiang Fengmian on his way back to Yunmeng but Jiang Cheng fears for his safety. They return to the Lotus Pier and finds the place in ruins. When they see their parents dead in Wen Chao's hands, Jiang Cheng acted on impulse and catches the attention of Wen Zhuliu. Luckily, Wen Ning covers up for them twice and helps them to escape the place. They escape to a nearby forest and Jiang Cheng beats Wei Wuxian as he blames him for saving Lan Wangji and cries over his deceased parents.
