The Iron Maiden spoke of the Bloodthirsty Storyteller's past in commanding the world, and it sounded like bragging.
However, given their power of enchantment, it's not impossible they achieved some significant accomplishments in the past.
At least in Ziyu's perspective, there are indeed some mysterious forces in the Martial World, like undercurrents shaping the Martial Arts landscape.
For instance, over two hundred years ago, there was a young emperor who died early. At a young age, he hanged himself along with his empress. Before hanging, he issued a decree transferring the throne to an eunuch named Li Jin, claiming Li Lunzhuang was his father reincarnated, and thus all concubines were left to the eunuch father.
Such a story spreading around would be considered outlandish even by the most imaginative storytellers, resembling an emperor possessed by evil spirits.
