Shuanghua
Shuanghua is Xiao XingChen's renowned sword, distinguished by strong spiritual power, intricate workmanship, and a silver sword glare.
History
Xiao XingChen's sword
Xiao XingChen wielded Shuanghua during his work as a roaming cultivator. The sword became widely recognizable through illustrated sword catalogues, and wounds made by it later connected the Chang clan killings to the Yi City mystery. (Chapters 30 and 36)
Deception in Yi City
After Xiao XingChen gave away his eyes, Shuanghua could direct him toward corpse energy. Xue Yang exploited this by poisoning living people and cutting out their tongues, preventing the sword from distinguishing them from walking corpses. Xiao XingChen unknowingly killed those victims and fatally stabbed Song Lan. Once Xue Yang exposed the deception, Xiao XingChen used Shuanghua to end his own life. (Chapters 39–41)
Xue Yang later wielded Shuanghua alongside Jiangzai. After Xue Yang's defeat, Song Lan left Yi City carrying Shuanghua together with his own sword, Fuxue. (Chapters 38 and 42)
