Western Wretch

Western Wretch (西贱) is a title given to Mo Nian when he dug up the graves of ancient families
== Story ==
"His name is Mo Nian. Rumor is that he's an old acquaintance of Long Chen. He truly is an odd one. He just broke through the Soul Transformation realm, but his battle power is shocking. He was able to fight against the Empyreans without losing. With a divine bow,probably the Five Element Sun Hunting Bow he dominates all his enemies. But the strange thing is that he's set on being enemies with the Western Xuan Region's ancient family alliance. He's being hunted down by them constantly. Long Chen is called the Eastern Madman because he's too crazy, while Mo Nian is called the Western Wretch because he's too wretched."
"What do you mean by wretched? What did he do?" The slender man raised his cup and touched it to the middle-aged scholar's cup. Now he was curious.
"It's unknown whether Mo Nian is doing it as revenge or for some other reason, but he spends every day digging up the ancestral graves of the ancient families. Each time, he'll flip through their tombs. No one knows what he's doing."
"He's graverobbing? That's too immoral, isn't it?"
"Exactly. Long Chen destroys a sect a day, while Mo Nian robs a tomb a day. So the names of the Eastern Madman and Western Wretch have spread throughout the Central Plains," said the middle-aged scholar.
"Is that Mo Nian really so powerful? The entire ancient family alliance of the Western Xuan Region is unable to handle him?"
Mo Nian received an ancestral inheritance (for details see Mo Nian short stories).
== Wordplay ==
The word for wretch, sword, and arrow (贱、剑、剪 jian) all sound the same in Chinese (they are pronounced jian). Here's the segment with some italics:
The middle-aged man laughed mischievously. He said, "He's called the Western Wretch."
"The Western Sword? Just hearing that I can tell he's a terrifying sword cultivator," said the slender man.
The middle-aged scholar laughed, "Hehe, you're wrong. Although he uses arrows, the wretch I'm talking about is the wretch as in a wretched man."
"What?" The slender man didn't comprehend.
