Chapter 1209

"How did Xiao Nannan bring them to the Long River Sword Sect?"

Yunlan Pòtiān never expected this result.

Who could know that Xiao Nannan, upon seeing a few of Lu Xuan's disciples, would sense a familiar aura?

What's the deal with that Bai of the Deceit Clan?

In Yunlan Heaven, only he and Xiao Nannan can freely come and go between the Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins and the real world.

During this time, he has remained hidden behind the scenes, wishing to use Xiao Nannan's hands to kill.

The effect is not bad!

Whether it's the Deceit Palace, the Gu Clan, or the Monster Clan, many casualties have appeared.

But when the Weiyang Army stepped in, the situation seemed to change.

First, Lu Xuan's disciples all carry the supreme Dao markings; under the pressure of Weiyang Heaven, they can actually refine Yunlan Heaven without provoking the world's malice.

Second, Xiao Nannan directly pulled Ji Fuyao and the others into the real world.

Fortunately, this is only a small unit led by Zhang Liao.

If all of the Weiyang Army were moved over by Xiao Nannan, his Demonic Cloud Sect and Yunlan Army might not be able to withstand it!

Moreover, with the Long River Sword Sect's internal rebellion, if the Spirit Martial Emperor descends, they might directly defect.

He does control the lifeline of the Long River Sword Sect, but this power originates from the Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins, more precisely, from Xiao Nannan.

Xiao Nannan can easily break his suppression of the Long River Sword Sect!

Besides that, Weiyang Heaven also faces a great threat: Qi Chun Jing.

Although Qi Chun Jing is heavily injured and hasn't made a move yet, if he forces himself to act, I might not be his match.

Yunlan Pòtiān secretly thought that the situation was no longer optimistic.

Originally, he was gambling.

He was betting that Xiao Nannan would also kill upon encountering the Weiyang Army.

But he lost the bet.

Yunlan Pòtiān's face grew increasingly grim.

Meanwhile, at the Long River Sword Sect...

Commander Zhang Liao walked over to the Changhe Ancestor, saying, "Changhe Brother, it's been years—your bearing remains the same."

The Changhe Ancestor likewise walked over, and countless memories of the past flashed before his eyes—he had once fought side by side with Zhang Liao under the Spirit Martial Emperor, resisting the Deceit Palace and the Gu Clan Heaven.

However, after the Weiyang Heaven took a third, their Long River Sword Sect was forced to remain.

This white-haired elder has long awaited this day.

"The Weiyang Army has finally arrived."

His voice trembled slightly, his eyes even a little wet, as he asked, "Has the Spirit Martial Emperor also come?"

Zhang Liao nodded, saying, "Your Majesty and the others are still in the Phantom Realm."

"The Phantom Realm?"

The Changhe Ancestor frowned, unaware of the existence of the Profound Scale Butterfly Ruins.

Zhang Liao briefly described their ordeal.

The Changhe Ancestor pondered, "This is likely the Yunlan Emperor's arrangement—the very barrier that lies beyond Yunlan Heaven."

Zhang Liao pointed to Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen, saying, "Changhe Brother, these two are respectively the eldest and second disciples of Lord Lu; Lord Lu's other disciples are still in the Phantom Realm."

The Changhe Ancestor exclaimed excitedly, "Lord Lu's disciples!"

"These two young friends—one cultivates the Spirit Fire Great Dao, the other practices Alchemy Martial Dual Cultivation—are both peerless monsters!"

He carefully examined Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen, a nostalgic look in his eyes, thinking back: "In those days, the Dao Lord presided over the Upper Realm; all petty troublemakers remained hidden, and at that time the Dao Lord did not yet accept disciples."

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen bowed to the Changhe Ancestor, saying, "Greetings, senior."

Zhang Liao then pointed to Xiaoyaozi, saying, "You've surely heard the name Xiao A Liang; this is Xiaoyaozi, one of the pioneers of the Sword Qi Great Wall in the Lower Realm, the one who once bore the banner of humanity from Xiao A Liang's hands."

"Not bad. Not bad."

The Changhe Ancestor stared at the sword intent on Xiaoyaozi's body and praised, "Unconstrained, free and easy—indeed, the person matches the name, carefree and at ease."

Xiaoyaozi bowed with clasped hands.

A moment of silence.

The Changhe Ancestor hesitated a moment and asked, "Brother Zhang Liao, don't you doubt that I am a man of the Yunlan Emperor?"

Zhang Liao pointed to the depths of the Long River Sword Sect, saying, "First, I trust Changhe Brother's backbone; second, it's that sword!"

There, a terrifying phantom of a spirit sword was plunged into the starry sky, immensely huge, almost towering over that sea of stars.

Around the spirit sword, endless heavenly chains fell like black coiling dragons, erupting with a terrifying force that sealed it within the sea of stars.

This is precisely the Long River Sword Sect's guardian spirit sword, the Chasing Wave Sword!

Even if the Surge Wave Sword is sealed, the terrifying sword aura leaking from it still spreads throughout the star sea; despite the endless distance, it can still be sensed.

The Long River Ancestor gave a bitter laugh.

Zhang Liao's meaning is obvious; if the Long River Sword Sect has already turned toward the Cloud Mist Great Emperor, then this sect-protecting spiritual sword could not possibly be sealed!

Moreover, right now, a great battle is erupting on the outskirts of the Long River Sword Sect, demonic qi rolling in, the enemy's forces are very strong, and the star sea outside the Long River Sword Sect has been extensively destroyed.

"Over these many years, Brother Long River and the Cloud Mist Great Emperor have mediated, you've worked hard!"

Zhang Liao felt moved.

The Long River Ancestor pointed at Xiao Nannan and said, "The reason our Long River Sword Sect stands firm is also thanks to Xiao Nannan."

"Oh?"

Zhang Liao was somewhat puzzled.

The Long River Ancestor pointed toward the direction of the Surge Wave Sword and said, "Xiao Nannan likes to stay near the Surge Wave Sword; perhaps that is why the Cloud Mist Great Emperor is wary."

Hearing this, Ji Fuyao curiously asked, "Senior, do you know Xiao Nannan's origin?"

Changhe Old Ancestor shook his head. "Yunlan Great Emperor claims Xiao Nannan is his adopted daughter. Xiao Nannan has not grown all these years; her body is somewhat strange. Yunlan Great Emperor also does not let us approach Xiao Nannan."

The Xiao Nannan in Ji Fuyao's arms said in a childish voice, "Yunlan senior? He is a good person!"

Everyone laughed without speaking.

Anyone could see that Xiao Nannan's nature was kind, utterly pure, utterly innocent—how could she discern true good from evil?

Zhang Liao looked toward the Chasing Wave Sword and asked, "After countless ages, does the trace of Dao Resonance left by Venerable Lord Lu on the Chasing Wave Sword still exist?"

Changhe Old Ancestor respectfully said, "When the Dao Master was at his peak, his cultivation pierced the heavens; that Dao Resonance has endured the erosion of ages and remains unbroken."

In fact, the so-called Dao Resonance left by Lu Xuan is merely that, back then, Lu Xuan used this sword and got a trace of his aura on it.

But back then, Lu Xuan's strength was incomparable; merely a trace of his aura on the Chasing Wave Sword greatly enhanced it, making it a sect-protecting spirit sword.

Zhang Liao explained their purpose: "We want to go and take a look at the Chasing Wave Sword."

Changhe Old Ancestor nodded. "The 'big brother' Xiao Nannan speaks of is most likely the Dao Master. But all these years, Yunlan Great Emperor has been deceiving Xiao Nannan; he sealed this realm, perhaps to prevent Xiao Nannan from finding the Dao Master."

Saying this, he flicked his sleeve and unleashed a sword qi.

Hiss!

Terrifying sword gleam like a white river stretched across the boundless star sea of the Changhe Sword Sect, carving a space channel that led straight to the Chasing Wave Sword's location.

Changhe Old Ancestor's voice echoed through heaven and earth like thunder: "Changhe Sword Sect, welcome the Dao Master's disciple and Commander Zhang Liao!"
