Who are you?

I am Azriel.

I mean… who are you

I just told you.

Do I know you?

In a sense, yes

What do you mean “in a sense”? What sense?

Biblical. Well, almost.

What’s that supposed to mean?

You’ve always been smart, you can figure that out for yourself.

At first, they seemed like any other group of fierce corpses, shambling and seemingly aimless, almost something of an inevitability in a land so torn and barely sewn back together with countless wars. Many people die violently, many die unburied, many die unjustly, and it's laughable to think that all the cultivation sects across the land would have the time or incentive to care for them all. Awash in blood, most were elderly, wiry yet frail as farmers tend to be.

And then, they started going for the Great Clans, tearing the strongest Cultivators of the land limb from limb with teeth and bare hands, leaving everyone else untouched and unharmed in their wake as they shamble on - Resolute and sure, as if guided by an innate knowledge of the ground beneath their feet - to destinations unknown.

Or, the Wen remnants demand a recompense.

Dee’s thoughts - A very satisfying horror fic about Wen remnants getting their revenge. Heed the author’s tags on this one. The fic is interesting, sorta like a zombie apocalypse but with zombies that have a purpose? I like it. Wangxian is there but in only vaguely mentioned in the end.

Ju’s thoughts - This story was so satisfying to read! One thing that always made me sad about the novel is that the Wens never did get justice done to them. After everything, their deaths were still celebrated. So this story made me so happy! It's a little gory, but yeah, it's worth it. Some outsider pov, showing the common people reacting to what's happening. Really amazing. The scenes LWJ appears in are so good. He barely says anything, but you can feel him.
