At this moment, Yang Xiao's exhausted spirit reached its limit, his head tilted, and he completely lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, when he trembled his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes, the dark and eerie environment was gone, replaced by a room filled with sunlight.
"You're awake." A blurry figure stood in front of him.
It took a full ten seconds for Yang Xiao's blurred vision to gradually clear up, and he recognized the person standing before him.
It was Elder Sheng, the dean of his sect, and this place... was the secluded house hidden by Elder Sheng, outside was a small courtyard.
Yang Xiao opened his mouth, but his throat was dry and parched, and for a moment, he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Elder Sheng brought him a glass of water, helped him up, and slowly fed him to drink it.
A moment later, having regained some of his strength, Yang Xiao leaned against the pillow, sitting up with his upper body.
