Black and White Sword, Xuan Jian

"System, begin the theft," Zuzong called out in his mind.

[Ding, the system is initiating the theft.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing a silver revolver from an underground armory in the world of Hero, no ownership, no enmity generated.]

Zuzong grasped the air, and a shiny silver revolver along with a box of bullets appeared in his hand. A helpless smile crept across his face.

"Yen Shuangying again? Wasting another theft opportunity. If I wanted this, I could've crossed over and emptied the armory long ago."

"System, continue the theft."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing the White Sword from The Legend of Qin's Black and White Xuan Jian.]

"Black and White Xuan Jian? Is it the part where that old guy Wei Yong from The King's Avatar betrayed Xuan Jian during The Song of Tian Xing, even causing the death of his daughter Wei Xianxian?"

Mentioning Wei Xianxian left a deep impression on Zuzong. He recalled his previous life on the Blue Star, feeling regretful every time he saw her sacrifice herself to save Xuan Jian.

Wei Xianxian was the daughter of Wei Yong, the Grand Steward of Wei. She was also Xuan Jian's wife. After saving the seriously injured Xuan Jian by chance, she secretly promised herself to him and became pregnant. However, their child was taken away by a maid from the Wei family and used as leverage against Xuan Jian by Wei Yong.

Later, Xuan Jian was forced by Wei Yong to hand over the White Sword. During Dianqing's attack, he fell into a disadvantage. At that moment, Wei Xianxian, trying to help Xuan Jian, defied her father and snatched the White Sword, throwing it to Xuan Jian. After obtaining the sword, Xuan Jian repelled Dianqing. 

Xianxian jumped from the city wall and was caught by Xuan Jian. She revealed that the general's killer was not Xuan Jian, causing Dianqing to pause in his assault. Enraged, Wei Yong ordered soldiers to kill them with flaming arrows. 

Before dying, Xianxian told Xuan Jian how to open the city gates. When Xuan Jian couldn't defend against Dianqing's next attack, she stepped in to shield him, sacrificing her life.

Such a kind-hearted woman became a political pawn for her father, Wei Yong.

Xuan Jian submerged her body and himself into a lake, intending to end his life. But when he saw the Black Sword he had previously sunk, the fire of revenge reignited in his heart. He picked up the sword, vowing to avenge Xianxian. Xuan Jian thus descended into darkness.

[Ding, Wei Yong, who guards the Black and White Swords, has discovered the theft of the famed blade. His hatred for the host has surged to 100%, adding 10,000 hatred points. Please be prepared, as you will be randomly teleported within a one-kilometer radius of the Wei residence's guards in ten seconds. Duration: one hour. Countdown: 10, 9, 8…]

Hearing the childlike voice of the system in his head, Zuzong sighed.

"Forget it! Let's say it was compassion. Hopefully, I can still make it in time."

[3, 2, 1, beginning teleportation.]

As the words faded, the surrounding space distorted, and Zuzong disappeared from his room.

Meanwhile, in the capital city of Wei:

Underneath the city wall, Xuan Jian was battling Dianqing.

Without the White Sword or Black Sword, he was no match for Dianqing, who had mastered the Iron Armor technique, and soon fell into a dire situation.

On top of the city wall, Wei Xianxian was desperately pleading, but Wei Yong, cold and heartless, was determined to eliminate Xuan Jian for his political gain.

As Xianxian prepared to seize the White Sword to save Xuan Jian, the sword suddenly vanished from everyone's sight.

Seeing the White Sword disappear from his hand, Wei Yong's face twisted in fury. If the sword returned to Xuan Jian, he might break through the siege, and the consequences would be dire. Xuan Jian's revenge was one thing, but it could also expose Wei Yong's political schemes, leading to his downfall.

Wei Yong roared, "Who stole the White Sword? I'll kill them!"

He turned his furious gaze toward Xianxian. "Was it you? Are you trying to save Xuan Jian, you unfilial daughter?"

Xianxian paled. She had indeed planned to steal the White Sword, but it had disappeared before she could act.

As Wei Yong continued to press her, Xianxian instinctively stepped back, nearing the edge of the city wall.

"Aah!" With a scream, she lost her balance and fell.

Hearing her cry, everyone turned their attention to her.

Xuan Jian, distracted, was struck down by Dianqing, watching helplessly as Xianxian fell. Despair filled his eyes.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded.

Just as Xianxian was about to hit the ground, a blue-silver plant appeared out of nowhere, catching her and delivering her safely to Xuan Jian's side.

"What a vile man you are, Old Wei. You even have the heart to harm your own daughter."

A crisp voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

A blue-haired youth in black attire, wearing a fox mask, stood on the opposite city wall. This was none other than Zuzong, who had arrived just in time. After being teleported, he happened to land nearby. Seeing Xianxian about to fall, he rushed over to prevent the tragedy.

Wei Yong narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Why meddle in this affair?"

Zuzong ignored him, knowing talking to such a cold-blooded politician was a waste of time. Gathering soul power under his feet, he appeared instantly before Xuan Jian and Xianxian.

This move startled everyone. Even top-tier experts like Xuan Jian and Dianqing couldn't fully trace Zuzong's movements.

Seeing that Xianxian was unharmed, Xuan Jian, suppressing his pain, stood up with her help. He knew this person had just saved his wife.

Xuan Jian clasped his hands in gratitude. "Thank you, benefactor, for saving Xianxian. Otherwise—"

Xianxian also bowed, "Thank you for your rescue."

Zuzong waved it off. "No need. I just didn't want to see a tragedy unfold. Xianxian is kind-hearted, and you, Xuan Jian, were willing to retreat from the world for her. If she died, you'd surely be consumed by hatred and become a slave to vengeance, which would be truly sad."

Zuzong's words left Xuan Jian and Xianxian in silence, their fingers intertwined.

Then, Zuzong turned to Dianqing. "Do you really believe Xuan Jian killed your master? Wei Xianxian, what do you think?"

"It wasn't Xuan Jian who killed your master," Xianxian said quietly, her expression sombre, knowing the real culprit was her father, Wei Yong.

As Zuzong glanced at Wei Yong, his face turned from fear to pure murderous intent.

"Kill them, Dianqing! This man is Xuan Jian's accomplice and must be involved in your master's death," Wei Yong shouted.

Though Dianqing was muscular, he wasn't foolish. He trusted Xianxian's words and began to doubt everything.

"Who really killed my master?" Dianqing asked.
