Wu Tian was slightly stunned, then he recalled what had happened before he lost consciousness.
In that very instant, a pair of golden eyes lit up in his consciousness, and an immense pressure surged towards him like a tidal wave, nearly causing his head to explode!
"Ah!" He couldn't help but let out a pained cry, then braced his forehead with his hand.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Li Xingyun's face changed dramatically, and he quickly asked.
Wu Tian took a few rapid breaths, then said, "I, I'm fine, I'm fine."
In that fleeting moment, he had understood everything that had transpired before his unconsciousness.
He hadn't expected such a thing to happen; it turned out to be the residual consciousness of the Sacred Dragon that had controlled him to kill the demon.
The scene of killing the demon still felt vivid in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel amazed.
That demon was an opponent he absolutely could not defeat, yet the Sacred Dragon had eliminated it so easily!
Such power was truly awe-inspiring.
Seeing that Wu Tian had returned to normal, Li Xingyun was no longer as tense.
He mumbled, "How strange," and then asked Wu Tian again, "But brother, there's something I really want to ask you properly."
"What exactly happened to you back then? Weren't you already severely injured? Then why could you unleash such a powerful aura?"
"To be honest, I almost knelt down to you at that time!"
"And what about that demon, did you kill it?"
"My heavens, how did you come to possess such power?"
Facing Li Xingyun's barrage of questions filled with doubt, Wu Tian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Xingyun and said, "Before that, you should answer my question first. Where exactly do you come from?"
"Even if you are from a hidden spiritual sect, judging by your abilities, the sect you belong to should not be a small or insignificant one, right?"
Li Xingyun hadn't expected Wu Tian to ask this.
However, he had no intention of hiding anything and said, "Since we are brothers, and you are a spiritual cultivator, then I will tell you."
"Actually, I come from the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect. My master is the sect leader, and in the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, I am the third disciple."
"Heavenly Sword Divine Sect?" Hearing Li Xingyun's words, Wu Tian couldn't help but be a little shocked.
He knew the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, as it was one of the eight hidden spiritual sects. Although it didn't rank among the top three sects, among the remaining five, it was considered a very powerful sect.
No wonder Li Xingyun's swordsmanship and spiritual techniques were so astonishing; it made sense now.
Li Xingyun then asked, "What's wrong? Why are you asking me this? Does it have anything to do with the question you asked me earlier?"
Wu Tian said, "It has a little to do with it, but not too much."
"But no matter what, what I'm about to tell you, you cannot reveal. Otherwise, it might be very troublesome for me."
Seeing Wu Tian say this, Li Xingyun understood his caution and nodded solemnly, saying, "I understand. Don't worry, we are brothers, how could I betray you?"
Wu Tian nodded, then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I am the inheritor of the Sacred Dragon."
"What did you say?!"
This news was undoubtedly explosive for Li Xingyun, and for a moment, he was so startled that he jumped up from his chair.
"You said you are the inheritor of the Sacred Dragon? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Just to be safe, he asked again.
Wu Tian said, "I'm not lying to you. Otherwise, how could I have produced the power to kill the demon?"
"I don't know what happened back then, but I mobilized the Sacred Dragon's energy, and then I dealt with that guy."
Li Xingyun was so astonished by this news that his jaw almost dropped.
He said in disbelief, "There's actually such a thing? Then, if that's the case, doesn't that mean I, Li Xingyun, am brothers with the Sacred Dragon?"
Wu Tian gave a wry smile and said, "No, no, no, I am not the Sacred Dragon."
"If I were the Sacred Dragon, why would I need to go through so much trouble? Wouldn't I have resolved the problem with ease?"
Li Xingyun smiled and said, "Oh, don't be modest. Even if you are not the Sacred Dragon now, you will be sooner or later, won't you?"
"My master has always been lamenting about when the Sacred Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix would appear, but I didn't expect you to be that legendary figure."
"If that's the case, then why can't this news be spread?"
"If everyone knew that the Sacred Dragon inheritor had appeared, they would surely hail you as their leader!"
Seeing Li Xingyun's excited demeanor, Wu Tian sighed and said, "You're thinking too simply. Things wouldn't be so smooth."
"Even if I am the Sacred Dragon inheritor, so what? My current strength is only at the ninth level, high grade. If I haven't even stepped into the Immortal realm, how can I be considered a leader?"
"Moreover, once my identity is known, I worry that people might plot against me."
"So, until I possess sufficient strength, it's best to keep my identity hidden. It's for everyone's good."
Li Xingyun felt that Wu Tian had a point, so he nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Don't worry, I absolutely will not leak this information."
"But you still need to improve quickly. If you truly become the Sacred Dragon, it would bring honor to me, your brother, wouldn't it?"
Wu Tian smiled, finding Li Xingyun to be quite an interesting person.
As they were chatting, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then Wu Tian saw Zhou Xueming walk into the room.
Seeing that Wu Tian had recovered, Zhou Xueming was exceptionally surprised and said with a smile, "Big Brother, you're actually alright! This is too miraculous!"
When they found Wu Tian, Zhou Xueming had originally intended to send Wu Tian for emergency treatment.
But Li Xingyun stopped him, saying that Wu Tian would recover on his own.
Zhou Xueming had been half-believing, half-doubting, but he hadn't expected Li Xingyun's words to be true, and Wu Tian was actually unharmed.
Seeing Zhou Xueming, Wu Tian also smiled and said, "Director Zhou, you're here. What's the situation in the county now? Has the aftermath been handled?"
Zhou Xueming nodded and said, "Yes, it has all been handled, and the relevant compensation work is also underway."
"But this disaster was truly terrifying. Big Brother, do you know that the death toll alone reached one thousand one hundred people."
"The state is paying special attention to this matter now, and we don't know how to handle the public opinion work."
