When Gu Chen transmigrated into the Nine Heavens Sword Venerable, he carried his disciple, Li Xiangyi, off to bed. On the day he fell, his young disciple clutched his bloodstained robes and cried until his voice went hoarse.

But when Diabolic Fiends from Beyond the Realms emerged from Shan Gudao’s corpse, Li Lianhua suddenly pointed his sword at the sky. Amid a vast sea of lotus shadows, he turned back with a smile. “Master, shall we join our swords?”
Just like they had when they first met, a hundred years ago, before the sword mound.
