Yang Jian was utterly bewildered, but after a moment of silence, he still asked the question that mattered most to him.
"Who exactly are you?"
As he spoke, calm returned to Yang Jian's eyes.
Hearing this, Tongtian chuckled. He made no attempt to conceal anything and said directly, "You may address me as Sect Master Tongtian."
