There is a famous tale in the cultivation world:
Li Heng, a genius sword cultivator from Hanhai Sect, became famous in a single battle after slaying an evil demoness who had committed countless atrocities with one sword strike. He became a shining beacon of righteousness.
If A Tao weren't the so-called "evil heretic" in the story, she would admit that Li Heng was indeed handsome and impressive.
Five years after Li Heng shot through her heart with an arrow, A Tao was reborn.
Having returned to life, this time she vowed to take back everything she had lost. (Not really.)
She decided to work hard at cultivation and sneak around as a demon. When she got the chance, she'd make Li Heng pay for that sword strike.
Before she could reach great heights in her cultivation, her hapless spirit pet brought home an injured Li Heng.
A Tao almost reached for her five-meter broadsword, but then she saw the complete unfamiliarity in Li Heng's eyes. He asked, "Who are you?"
A Tao immediately caught on. "Wah, wah, I'm your frail, helpless Dao companion."

Three more rumors about that famous Sword Venerable of Hanhai began circulating in the jianghu.
First: He cultivates the Heartless Dao, yet openly admits he has a Dao companion!
Second: His Dao companion is that dead demoness!
Third: That demoness dumped him!!!
