The Grand Elder was also thoroughly frightened by Lan Xiuyua's words.
He said in disbelief, "No way, Sect Master, do you know his origins?"
Lan Xiuyua shook her head and said, "No, I don't know him, but I can be sure that he is the Son of Destiny."
"This person cannot be touched. You take him back. I will handle the rest."
Son of Destiny?
Lan Xiuyua's evaluation of Wu Tian left everyone bewildered.
Although they didn't know what this evaluation meant specifically, it was clear that this person who had suddenly barged into their mountain gate was no ordinary character.
Afterward, the disciples escorted Wu Tian into the Xuanbing Sect.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Tian finally opened his eyes.
His consciousness was still a bit hazy, and his thoughts were unclear.
He got up from the bed and looked around blankly, not understanding how he had ended up in this place.
"Where... am I?" he murmured.
All his memories stopped at the moment he had gone berserk.
At that time, he had only wanted more power, and an unimaginable surge of strength had indeed erupted within him.
Under the impact of this power, he had lost consciousness and had no idea what he had done.
When his consciousness returned, he found himself in this state.
He got out of bed and looked around.
It was a rather large room, elegantly furnished, with a faint, fresh scent lingering in the air.
A spiritual energy permeated the ice walls of the building. Protected by this spiritual energy, people inside could not see outside, and people outside could not see inside, ensuring perfect privacy.
After a casual glance, Wu Tian was about to walk out when the ice-carved door was pushed open, and Lan Xiuyua entered.
Due to his previous loss of consciousness, Wu Tian was essentially seeing this woman for the first time.
As Lan Xiuyua walked towards him, her high heels clicking and her waist swaying gently, Wu Tian felt a cool breeze brush against his face.
Lan Xiuyua smiled at him and said, "You're awake. How are you feeling? Are you alright?"
Wu Tian looked at her confusedly and asked, "Who are you...?"
Lan Xiuyua introduced herself, and Wu Tian was immediately shocked. "What? You're the Sect Master of the Xuanbing Sect? That's too..."
He couldn't help but be surprised.
He had originally thought that the Sect Master of the Xuanbing Sect would at least be an old monster.
But he hadn't expected Lan Xiuyua to look so young.
But then it was strange. Lan Xiuyua clearly didn't seem like a bad person, so why had the Xuanbing Sect abducted Zhou Qian?
Seeing his hesitant expression, Lan Xiuyua smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by my youthful appearance; I have lived for six hundred years."
"After ascending to immortality, one's lifespan is naturally endless, so maintaining eternal youth is not that surprising, is it?"
"What?!" Hearing this, Wu Tian was even more shocked.
"According to you... you are a spiritual cultivator at the Immortal Ascension realm?"
Lan Xiuyua chuckled, "Why are you so surprised? Haven't you already seen two spiritual cultivators who have successfully ascended to immortality? And you even fought with one of them."
"You mean to say..." Wu Tian felt his scalp tingle.
He had always thought the Second Elder was at the peak of the ninth level.
But he had never imagined that the Second Elder was actually an expert who had ascended to immortality!
No wonder the Second Elder said he could deal with him without using his true strength.
How could he possibly contend with such an opponent?
Thinking of this, Wu Tian subconsciously licked his lips, looking a bit guilty.
Just from what he had seen, the Xuanbing Sect already had three spiritual cultivators at the Immortal Ascension level.
With such immense power, how could he possibly deal with them?
However, on second thought, he found it strange.
He had clearly committed such an offensive act. By all rights, it would have been perfectly normal for the Xuanbing Sect to kill him.
But now, why was he perfectly fine, staying in this place?
Lan Xiuyua seemed to have seen through his confusion and smiled, saying, "You don't need to be surprised."
"Your actions did indeed cross the bottom line of our Xuanbing Sect, but don't worry, I won't harm you."
"Because I know you are very special, and people like you absolutely cannot die."
"If you die, then future events might become particularly troublesome."
Wu Tian was filled with confusion by her words. He frowned and asked, "What exactly do you mean by that? I don't understand."
Lan Xiuyua sized up Wu Tian and then asked with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have the Sacred Dragon inheritance within you, right?"
Wu Tian was greatly startled and instinctively asked, "How do you know?"
Lan Xiuyua smiled and said, "Because I felt the call of the Sacred Dragon earlier."
"I just didn't expect the Sacred Dragon inheritance to appear in such a young person like you."
"You are the Son of Destiny, destined to lead us, so I will only help you, never harm you."
These words made Wu Tian even more confused.
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I still don't understand what you're talking about."
Lan Xiuyua said, "It's okay if you don't understand now; you will naturally know everything in the future."
"For now, all you need to know is that for this world, you are the most important person, so you must not have any accidents, understand?"
Wu Tian felt a deep solemnity in Lan Xiuyua's words.
He knew she wasn't lying to him, but he couldn't figure out what she meant.
Lan Xiuyua didn't dwell on this topic any longer.
She changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's discuss other matters."
"Why did you appear here?"
"The Xuanbing Sect should have nothing to do with you, so why did you suddenly come looking for us?"
Upon hearing this question, Wu Tian's expression immediately darkened, and he said irritably, "Don't you know what dirty deeds you've done?"
This time, it was Lan Xiuyua's turn to be stunned.
She paused, then asked with great confusion, "Do you have some misunderstanding about us?"
"The Xuanbing Sect has always acted with integrity and honor. How could we do anything bad?"
Wu Tian snorted and said, "You really dare to say that."
"Then tell me, if you haven't done anything bad, then who abducted Zhou Qian?"
"If this matter truly has nothing to do with you, then hand over the person who abducted Zhou Qian to me right now, or I won't let this go."
