Chapter 1117: Ten Disciples!

In an instant, past memories surged simultaneously into the hearts of Xiaoyaozi and Xiao Alang; the memories that were once as light as a goose feather suddenly became as heavy as a towering peak, pressing upon Xiaoyaozi's heart.

This must be my second death. I'm fine……

Although he said that, two lines of clear tears slid down from Xiao Alang's numb eye corners.

A man has tears but does not lightly flick them—only when he reaches the point of heartbreak!

Xiaoyaozi's eye sockets reddened; he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Xiao Alang's vitality was rapidly declining with each breath!

Jiang Rou could no longer hold back; she buried herself in Kufan's arms and burst into loud wails, "Wuu wuu wuu……"

She, too, had experienced death and could not bear such a parting of life and death.

Many scenes flashed through Xiao Alang's mind.

The first time he saw Lord Lu Zunzhu lecturing beneath the phantom of the World Tree in the lower realm, he made up his mind to become a peak sword cultivator!

Afterward, he spent endless years on the Sword Qi Long Wall.

Slaughter……

He entrusted the heavy responsibility of the Sword Qi Long Wall to Xiaoyaozi.

That's quite a heavy burden!

Thinking of this, Xiao Alang's fingers twitched slightly. "Xiaoyaozi, over all these years, I've never told you that you've endured hardship during that time……"

Upon hearing those words, even the strong Xiaoyaozi couldn't help but shed tears.

Was it tiring to guard the Sword Qi Long Wall?

Perhaps the endless years felt like a single day, with only a taut string in his heart, making it hard to sense fatigue and exhaustion.

But Xiao Alang's words left him somewhat unable to compose himself.

At this moment, Xiao Alang sighed, "Mo Diao Mao, I once said that upon reaching the upper realm, I would ride the fastest horse, wield the swiftest sword, and drink the strongest liquor! Sorry, I cannot accompany you further."

Mo Diao Mao clenched his fists, "Don't talk nonsense! You can pull through! You possess the Life-Death Sword Intent!"

Xiao Alang gave a bitter laugh, his voice growing even weaker, "Actually, deep in my heart I have always harbored a small wish: if Lord Lu Zunzhu were to take me as a disciple, how wonderful that would be……"

Everyone felt a wave of despair.

Xiao Alang's fingers trembled.

His lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but he could not utter a word.

Xiaoyaozi said, "Wine! Wine! Xiao Alang wants to drink wine!"

……

At the same time, in the lower realm, the Primordial Star Domain.

Lu Xuan lay leisurely amidst the starry sky, while Tie Xiaoqing massaged his shoulders.

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out, "Ding! Issuing the task to take in ten disciples! Please, host, proceed to the Everlasting Heaven Starry Sky Battlefield and take Xiao Alang as a disciple!"

The voice faded, and Lu Xuan blinked in surprise.

The ten disciples have finally arrived!

Soon, the system transmitted Xiao Alang's condition to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

Xiao Alang's situation is not good.

On the brink of death!

He suddenly turned his gaze to the Sword Reverse Pearl in the system space, "This item will be useful for Xiao Alang!"

Upon thinking this, Lu Xuan immediately rose to his feet.

No delay!

If he delayed even a step further, Xiao Alang would truly fall!

Although his Life-Death Sword Intent defied heaven, before the absolute power of Ancestor An Shang Lao Zu, it could not possibly contend!

As Lu Xuan rose, Tie Xiaoqing immediately hoisted the big black pot and stood ready.

Tie Xiongqiong also swiftly descended from another side.

Lu Xuan laughed and cried at once.

Tie Xiaoqing has become his little follower, while Tie Xiongqiong has become Tie Xiaoqing's little follower.

Tie Xiaoqing's delicate, fair hands clasped before her ample bosom as she looked pitifully at Lu Xuan, "Lord Lu Zunzhu, where are you headed?"

Lu Xuan smiled, "To the upper realm. Then let's go together."

Great!

Tie Xiaoqing happily clenched her fists.

With a thought, Lu Xuan's mysterious spatial power surged, instantly enveloping Tie Xiaoqing and her sibling.

"Boom!"

They vanished instantly from the spot and stepped directly toward the Everlasting Heaven Starry Sky Battlefield.

Meanwhile, beside Xiao Alang.

Jiang Rou trembled as she untied the wine jug, feeding Xiao Alang liquor, but the spiritual liquor flowed out from his throat.

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

A strange sound issued from Xiao Alang's throat; he could no longer swallow the spiritual liquor.

Watching this miserable scene, Jiang Rou's tears continually fell.

In her heart, Xiao Alang existed like a pioneer.

In the lower realm, it was Senior Xiao Alang who forged the Sword Qi Long Wall; that is also why she entered the Sword Qi Long Wall.

Witnessing the death of a pioneer, she could not accept it!

Xiao Alian wanted to say something, but he now faced endless darkness—that was the Guileful Great Dao sealing his five senses and spiritual awareness; inside his body only the Dao Foundation remained, and the life-and-death sword intent surged wildly.

But the Guileful Power had already become like a vast sea, occupying his body and turning the tables; the life-and-death sword intent was merely a tiny boat, capable of capsizing at any moment.

But Xiao Alian was still resisting.

In his heart a faint obsession flickered.

"I, Xiao Alian, will never give up!"

Xiao Alian's body trembled slightly.

Everyone felt a pang of heartache and utter despair.

Even at this point, Xiao Alian still had not given up!

Jiang Rou looked toward Ku Fan, "Ku Fan, can you contact Supreme Lord Lu? Maybe……"

Before he finished speaking, an anomaly appeared above everyone's heads.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Void Rending!

Space Distortion!

Lu Xuan, in a white robe, with a faint divine radiance flowing over him, slowly walked out of the void rift; behind him followed Tie Xiaoqing and Tie Xiongqiong, carrying a big black pot.

Tie Xiaoqing looked around, their face stunned, their delicate lips opening into an 'O' shape.

A terrifying battle was erupting here!

Within the starry sky, for hundreds of millions of li, the Guileful Great Dao and the Weiyang Army's offensive power roared!

And at that moment, seeing Lu Xuan appear.

Everyone was stunned!

"Supreme Lord Lu!"

Xiaoyaozi and Mo Diaomao seemed to see hope, flames igniting in their eyes.

In their hearts, Supreme Lord Lu could do anything!

Xiao Alian would surely be fine!

On the Gui Dian battlefield, An Shang Lao Zu gazed toward this realm, his brows slightly furrowed.

He fixed his stare on Lu Xuan's figure!

That figure, he knew it too well!

Formerly, before endless ages, Lu Xuan presided over Weiyang Heaven, his power reaching the heavens, like a sovereign.

It was him, it was him!

Heitan Sha's face showed surprise: "Old Ancestor, could this white‑robed man be… Lu Xuan?"

An Shang Lao Zu nodded, saying, "That must be him."

Qi Chun Jing turned their head, their heart startled.

The Dao Lord had actually ascended to the upper realm!

Could it be that he came for Xiao Alian?

An Shang Lao Zu pointed toward Lu Xuan from afar, saying, "That's Lu Xuan—go kill him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, both the Weiyang Army and the many Gui Dian powerhouses turned their gaze toward where Lu Xuan was.

Lu Xuan!

In the hearts of the many powerhouses, shock and awe surged, followed by wild joy.

This figure was Lu Xuan!

Everything they had done in Weiyang Heaven and Qingming Heaven was to force Lu Xuan to ascend to the upper realm; they never expected Lu Xuan to actually ascend!

Among the Weiyang Army, many commanders' eyes blazed with flames, boundless reverence and admiration welling up in their hearts.

"Supreme Lord Lu! Dao Lord!"
