Baxia
Baxia is Nie MingJue's saber and the personal weapon whose handling by Meng Yao becomes a deliberate provocation during their conflict.
History
Captivity at Nightless City
After Nie MingJue's failed attack at Yangquan leads to his capture, Meng Yao presents Baxia from a box and takes it into his own hands. He claims to have handled it several times before and taunts its owner while Nie MingJue repeatedly orders him to let go. This possession is temporary and hostile rather than a transfer of ownership. (Chapter 49)
Later custody
The supplied evidence identifies Baxia with Nie MingJue and associates it with the QingheNie line, including Nie HuaiSang, but does not establish who holds the saber after Nie MingJue's death. Its later custody is therefore unknown.
Abilities and properties
- Baxia is a cultivator's saber suited to the QingheNie Sect's saber path. (Chapter 49)
- No distinct named power or limitation for Baxia is established in the supplied evidence.
