Wu Tian's previously scattered consciousness finally regained some clarity.
Although his complexion still looked poor, his life was, for all intents and purposes, truly saved.
"Sect Leader Lei, thank you," he said softly.
Seeing that Wu Tian had escaped the clutches of death, Lei Zhengxuan was overjoyed. "It's good that you're alright, good that you're alright."
"Honestly, I was scared to death just now. I thought you were..."
Wu Tian forced a smile. "It's not that easy to die."
"But in the end, it's still because my skills are not good enough. Otherwise, how could I have fallen into such a predicament?"
Lei Zhengxuan shook his head. "No, you've already done very well."
"From ancient times to the present, no young person has ever been more outstanding than you."
"For now, you should focus on healing. With me blocking here, no one can harm you!"
Seeing Lei Zhengxuan's demeanor, a warmth flowed through Wu Tian's heart.
His current condition was indeed quite dire, so he didn't refuse further.
Wu Tian quickly sat cross-legged in the air, with steam-like fluctuations emanating from his body.
Upon witnessing this, although Mo Taichong found it hard to believe, his reaction was swift.
He quickly shouted to Mo Xuantian, "Sect Master, we should capture him quickly while we have the chance!"
"You've seen how strange this kid is. If we let him recover, we won't be able to stop him if he tries to escape!"
Mo Xuantian naturally understood this.
Moreover, the more outstanding Wu Tian appeared, the heavier his heart felt.
No matter what, for the future of the sect, he had to make a choice today, even if it meant opposing Lei Zhengxuan!
His expression became much more solemn, and then he threw a pill to Mo Taichong, saying:
"Leave Lei Zhengxuan to me. You go and deal with that bastard."
It was a pill that could restore qi. After Mo Taichong consumed it, his condition immediately returned.
He nodded and said, "No problem, leave it to me."
"This bastard is already severely injured. It will be as simple as breathing to take his life."
Seeing that Mo Xuantian had issued his final ultimatum, Lei Zhengxuan didn't hesitate at all. He condensed powerful lightning around himself.
He said in a deep voice, "Mo Xuantian, weren't we both appointed Sect Masters in the same year?"
"I've always been curious about your strength. Now I finally have the chance to test it."
Mo Xuantian's attitude also turned somewhat colder.
He said with a cold expression, "Lei Zhengxuan, this is not how I wanted things to turn out."
"But I still say the same thing: that bastard will not live today."
"Even with you protecting him, this outcome will not change in the slightest!"
"Is that so?" Lei Zhengxuan said grimly, "Then I, Lei, shall have to seek your guidance!"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The two faced off, and in an instant, the very atmosphere of the entire world seemed to freeze.
Both were peak eighth-star Da Luo Golden Immortals. Once they started fighting, it would undoubtedly cause an unimaginably massive upheaval.
However, just as the two were about to make their move.
A series of violent explosions suddenly erupted from afar.
Two beams of light shot straight into the sky, both reaching the level of fifth-star Da Luo Golden Immortals!
"This is..."
Upon seeing this, Mo Xuantian and Mo Taichong's expressions were instantly stunned.
Afterward, two lights flew from the sky, appearing in everyone's sight.
It was a pair, a man and a woman. The man was exceptionally handsome, and the woman was gentle and beautiful.
Standing together, these two looked like a perfect match, a talented scholar and a beautiful lady.
They both seemed to have sustained some injuries, but their wounds were healing on their own at this moment.
"Daughter? Wu Feiyu? Why have you come out?"
Mo Xuantian asked in surprise.
Hearing this, Lei Zhengxuan couldn't help but be taken aback.
Who else could Mo Xuantian call his daughter, if not Wu Tian's mother?
Could these two people before them be Wu Tian's parents?
At this moment, both of their expressions looked particularly grim, or rather, filled with hatred.
The woman completely ignored Mo Xuantian. After a brief search, her gaze fell upon Wu Tian.
Instantly, a connection through blood made their expressions change drastically.
Then, their eyes immediately turned red.
Seeing this, Lei Zhengxuan was completely certain.
These two were indeed Wu Tian's parents, and why they were able to come out...
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Qiannai, who had been brought along by the light masses.
Then he said to the couple, "You two, you must be Mo Dan and Wu Feiyu of the Divine Doctor Sect, right?"
"I am Lei Zhengxuan, the former Sect Master of the Sacred Thunder Sect."
"Please rest assured, the Sect Master is not in mortal danger at the moment."
Lei Zhengxuan's words immediately made the couple freeze.
Wu Feiyu asked in confusion, "Sect Master?"
"Could this person... not be my child?"
Lei Zhengxuan replied, "No, Wu Tian is indeed your child, but at the same time, he is also the Sect Master of the Sacred Thunder Sect."
"Otherwise, how could he possibly mobilize the entire force of the Sacred Thunder Sect to come here to rescue you?"
The minds of the couple were instantly blank.
They had only a rough understanding of the events that had transpired, but they had never imagined that their child would become the Sect Master of the Sacred Thunder Sect.
However, after the shock, the two immediately regained their senses and hurried to Wu Tian's side, calling out:
"Wu Tian, wake up, Mom and Dad are here, everything is fine, wake up!"
Wu Tian was in a state of cultivation, his senses sealed. He vaguely heard their voices.
He opened his eyes, and when the faces of his parents appeared in his vision, his expression was one of great confusion.
"You are..."
Wu Tian had been sent to Peach Blossom Village since he was an infant, so he had no memory of his parents' appearances.
Seeing the two at this moment, he only felt a deep sense of familiarity, but he dared not acknowledge them outright.
Mo Dan pulled Wu Tian into her embrace, her eyes filled with tears as she choked out, "Wu Tian, I am your mother!"
"I never thought I would be able to see you in my lifetime. This is truly... truly..."
By the end of her words, Mo Dan was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Wu Tian looked at the woman in his arms with a dazed expression, then at Wu Feiyu, whose eyes were red.
A familial affection hidden within their blood immediately erupted at this moment.
At this time, he, who had rarely shed tears, could not help but weep profusely.
"Mom... Dad..."
These two appellations felt so awkward to utter.
All his life, he had never truly called anyone by these names.
And now, he could finally say them out loud with pride!
