Chapter 791: Endgame 272: Three Swords Gather!

You……how did you come?

Clan Chief Jiang Ba saw Ku Fan and was instantly furious.

It's truly a one‑time mistake that ruined a lifetime!

If he could go back to the past, he would surely sever that stretch of the river of time, so that Jiang Rou and Ku Fan would never meet again.

"Father."

Jiang Rou clung to Clan Chief Jiang Ba's arm and said, "Don't speak like that about Ku Fan—you don't know what I've been through!"

Seeing Jiang Rou's tearful expression, Clan Chief Jiang Ba sighed, "Alright, alright."

He turned to Lu Xuan and asked, "Who is this?"

Jiang Rou introduced, "Father, this is Venerable Lord Lu Xuan. He extracted my soul from the Sword Qi Great Wall and then used Profound Dark Soul Water to reconstruct my soul body, allowing you to save me."

Upon hearing this, Clan Chief Jiang Ba was stunned on the spot.

"Profound Dark Soul Water!"

That is an incredibly heaven‑defying treasure!

Our Jiang Clan had also sought this object from the outside world back then.

But this object is exceedingly rare—priceless yet unobtainable.

Moreover, even if some overlords possessed it, our Jiang Clan might have nothing of equal value to trade for it.

I never expected this Venerable Lord to use it to save his daughter.

"Thank you, Venerable Lord."

Clan Chief Jiang Ba's face showed immense gratitude, "Venerable Lord, if you take a liking to anything of our Jiang Clan, feel free to take it."

Lu Xuan said casually, "It was just a small effort. Ku Fan taught my disciple for a while, so I naturally couldn't just watch his dao companion perish."

Clan Chief Jiang Ba blinked slightly.

Actually, it's this kind of relationship?

A moment of silence.

Clan Chief Jiang Ba made an inviting gesture, "Venerable Lord, please come in and rest."

He tried to probe Lu Xuan's cultivation, but found he couldn't detect it at all, which only heightened his astonishment.

Clan Chief Jiang Ba looked at Tie Xingqiong and asked, "May I ask how you two fellow cultivators should be addressed?"

Tie Xingqiong said, "My name is Tie Xingqiong, and this is my younger sister, Tie Xiaoqing."

Clan Chief Jiang Ba was somewhat surprised, "Could you be the Tie Xingqiong from the God‑Burying Abyss?"

Tie Xingqiong replied, "Exactly."

Clan Chief Jiang Ba immediately clasped his hands and said, "I have long admired your name. You single‑handedly forged a sea of stars, your obsession unending…"

"Wait."

"Wasn't it said that after the Battle of the God‑Burying Abyss, the Strange Domain Star Sea and the Star Abyss Star Sea were shattered, and that Tie Xingqiong and the remnant soul of the Strange Domain's Sovereign Realm cultivator also perished?"

Tie Xingqiong smiled and said, "I survived because Venerable Lord intervened."

Clan Chief Jiang Ba frowned and asked, "What is Venerable Lord's relation to the Lu Xuan who slaughtered all directions in the God‑Burying Abyss?"

Tie Xingqiong said, "It's the same person—namely, the one standing before you."

Clan Chief Jiang Ba stared, dumbfounded.

"Lu Xuan!"

It seems the Sword Qi Great Wall is part of the next move in the grand plan!

Before this, they had never even heard the name Lu Xuan.

Clan Chief Jiang Ba shook his head, "Such a heaven‑shaking scheme is not something our Jiang Clan is qualified to participate in."

"Soon."

He led Lu Xuan and the others into the Jiang Clan's main hall. The hall was resplendent with gold and jade, towering and ancient, standing firm after ages of the Jiang Clan's accumulation, condensed with terrifying Dao and momentum.

The entire hall could almost be considered a Sovereign‑grade Spiritual Weapon.

This is the foundation of a great clan!

Everyone took their seats.

The Jiang Clan's Grand Elder, Second Elder, and others also entered the hall.

Elder Ku Fan felt as if sitting on pins and needles, his buttocks constantly shifting.

Although he had stepped into the One‑Star Sovereign Realm, compared to the Jiang Clan's terrifying foundation he still felt somewhat inferior.

Moreover, he was not good with words and didn't know what to say.

Clan Chief Jiang Ba told the other elders how Lu Xuan had saved Jiang Rou, and the many elders of the Jiang family all expressed their gratitude to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, took a sip of spiritual tea, and said, "Just a small matter."

"Then."

Clan Chief Jiang Ba cleared his throat, dared not look at Lu Xuan, and said to Ku Fan, "Ku Fan, since I was young I have told my daughter, 'Red gates match red gates, bamboo gates match bamboo gates…'"

Before he could finish, Jiang Rou covered her ears and said, "Ah, don't say that, Father! I've heard that line countless times."

She poked Ku Fan; his old face flushed, and for the first time in his life he summoned courage and said, "Clan Chief, I truly love Jiang Rou. Having experienced life and death, I can see things clearly. I vow to protect Jiang Rou for the rest of my life."

"Hahahaha!"

Clan Chief Jiang Ba burst out laughing, "What do you use to protect her? Although you broke through to the One‑Star Sovereign Realm with Venerable Lord's help, the current myriad‑heavens star domain is in turmoil—what is a mere One‑Star Sovereign Realm worth?"

If it weren't for giving Venerable Lord face, he would have already kicked Ku Fan out.

Ku Fan: "……"

He had nothing to say in response.

"Just then."

Boom!

Crack!

Void Rending!

Space distorted!

In the starry sky rift, a green-robed sword cultivator slowly stepped out; instantly, like a vast sea sweeping, the star sea sword qi where the Jiang clan resides surged, as if the vast sea were overturning, the Carefree sword intent seemed about to tear heaven and earth.

Xiao Yao Zi has arrived!

Behind him, a black-robed sword cultivator also slowly stepped out; his aura was equally terrifying sword might, like dark clouds pressing down on heaven and earth, overbearing beyond compare.

Mo Yunluo!

Behind him was a middle-aged man wearing straw sandals, with a wine gourd hanging at his waist and a straw stalk in his mouth, looking somewhat carefree.

Xiao A Liang!

Three terrifying sword dao powers, like covering the heavens, dominated this star sea.

For a moment, the entire Jiang clan was shocked.

These are the three top sword cultivators of the Sword Qi Great Wall!

Although Xiao A Liang, after re-cultivation, is now only a Five-Star Sovereign Realm, his previous life was a top sword cultivator on par with Xiao Yao Zi and Mo Yunluo.

The three swords converge!

You should know that if any one of these three appears anywhere in the Myriad Heavens Star Domain, it will cause a sensation.

I never expected that today, three of them would actually come directly!

And they are all their true bodies descending!

Terrifying beyond measure!

Jiang clan chief Jiang Ba was about to rise to greet them, but Xiao Yao Zi, Mo Yunluo, and Xiao A Liang had already arrived leisurely, directly stepping into the Jiang clan hall.

"Three seniors!"

Numerous elders of the Jiang clan felt terrified and uneasy.

"Please be seated quickly!"

Clan chief Jiang Ba said loudly.

The three sat beside Lu Xuan and casually said, "Clan chief, no need to mind us. We're just here to chat with Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan."

Hearing that, the Jiang clan members dared not speak.

They understood.

Lu Xuan is the backing behind Ku Fan, while Xiao Yao Zi, Mo Yunluo, and Xiao A Liang actually treat Lu Xuan as their superior.

Then the answer is self-evident.

In fact, from beginning to end, Lu Xuan never said a word pleading for Ku Fan.

But that sense of oppression has always existed!

Especially after the arrival of Xiao Yao Zi and the two others, the Jiang clan felt immense pressure.

Any one of these four people could probably annihilate the Jiang clan with a single thought!

Upon thinking of this,

Clan chief Jiang Ba surely understands that with four top-tier experts backing him, even if Ku Fan is ordinary, he will likely not remain ordinary in the future.

"I agree with you."

Hearing that, Jiang Rou excitedly grabbed Elder Ku Fan's hand.

Elder Ku Fan looked shocked.

Is this the dreadful suppressing power of Lord Lu?

He didn't say a word at all!

Yet he was constantly speaking for him!
