#wwx is a guidao and empathy user… maybe if his ghost is still lying around somewhere…

Me, up at 3am, wondering what actually happened with Yanling-Daoren (who ‘was very outstanding. When he first left the mountain, due to his mastery over his skills, everyone praised and admired him, and he became a famous cultivator of the righteous path. But afterwards, people don’t know what he went through, but his personality changed drastically, and he suddenly became a villain who killed people without blinking twice. In the end, he died under thousands of swords.’ (Chapter 40, EXR)):

WWX even draws parallels between them himself when he comments that it was a good thing XXC didn’t tell A-Qing that CSSR and WCZ didn’t give birth to ‘another big villain everybody wanted to beat up’!! We’re never going to get an answer to this, and there’s not enough evidence to conclude anything, but I like to think that it was another WWX situation – YLDR didn’t actually turn evil, but did something against the wishes of the major sects, which all turned against him as a result…
