Chapter 1544: Zi Xuan's Stash

"Now then… Zi Xuan, let's talk about your situation. Why are you staying in the Vanishing Valley, possessing that Giant's Sword?" Yuan turned his focus to Zi Xuan now that Yu Ning's issue was resolved.

"Good question. Unfortunately, I do not know. Or, more precisely, I don't remember. When I woke up, I found myself already inside the Vanishing Valley, and not wanting my soul to degrade, I had to possess a treasure, and this Giant's Sword happened to be nearby."

"You don't remember? Then do you remember what you did before losing consciousness?" 

"I have a faint recollection of engaging in a battle, but the specifics elude me. I can't recall the circumstances that led to the fight or who or what I was up against," she confessed.

"Is that so…" Yuan mumbled with a pondering face.

"Oh, but I do remember you telling me something right before I lost consciousness. 'Wait for me', you said, and so I did… for countless years."
