1537 Gone Rogue

"How are you not aware of her situation? It caused quite the scene around the world when it happened. Are you really her friend?" The disciple doubted Tian Qiyuan being Zi Xuan's friend.

"I was in seclusion for a long time and only recently emerged, so I am still unaware of many things. If you enlighten me, I'll make it worth your time."

Tian Qiyuan proceeded to take out an Ancient-grade sword and dangled it in front of the disciple like a carrot on a stick.

The disciple's eyes immediately flickered when he saw this. He never thought he would be able to acquire an Ancient-grade sword just by answering some questions.

"I'll tell you everything you want to know, Senior!"

"You can start by telling why Zi Xuan was exiled."

"That's because she'd gone rouge and went on a killing spree, becoming a mass murderer. If the Unrivaled Nine Swords Sect hadn't exiled her, it would've dragged all of us down with her."

"What? Zi Xuan became a mass murderer? Surely, there must've been a mistake. I've known her for thousands of years. She wouldn't do something like that without a good reason." Tian Qiyuan's eyes widened at this shocking revelation.

He knew Zi Xuan was an eccentric individual, but she was definitely no mass murderer. If she killed someone, she definitely would have a good reason for doing so.

"It's true, Senior. The Sword Goddess went on a rampage against those who slandered the Exalted Blacksmith, especially the Ancient Anvil Association. If anyone dared to slander the Exalted Blacksmith openly, she would show up at their door and slaughter them like pigs."

"Huh…?" Tian Qiyuan's eyes widened for a second time, as he could totally see Zi Xuan doing such a thing for him as the Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic.

"She'd killed thousands of people throughout the years, killed two of the Ancient Anvil Association elders, and even crippled the Fiery Heaven Blacksmith—to the point where he could no longer wield a hammer properly. Due to her actions, she was branded as an evil cultivator and was given a bounty."

"She would've probably gone for the God of Creation's throat if he weren't so much stronger than her. Anyway, after being branded as an evil cultivator and given a bounty, the Sword Goddess became the hunted."

"If the Unrivaled Nine Swords Sect hadn't exiled her, we would've been branded as accomplices and also become the world's enemy."

"I understand her situation… and I have another question. Is she dead?" Tian Qiyuan wore a grim expression on his face as he asked this serious question.

Although they never acknowledged each other as lovers, they were certainly more than just friends and had shared moments that only lovers would. Tian Qiyuan would be lying to himself if he said he didn't have any feelings for her.

"Last I heard, they managed to destroy her physical body but failed to secure her soul and allowed her to escape. That was about twenty years ago. I haven't heard anything about it since then."
