Chapter 3279: Duan Tian, Xiao Tian

"Very well." Wu Jie nodded and immediately ordered someone to take Zhu Zhenghao away and arrange the best accommodation for him.

In the main hall, only Xiao Fan and Wu Jie remained.

Xiao Fan looked at Wu Jie, his thoughts racing as he pondered Wu Jie's true identity.

"Hehehe… are you curious?" Wu Jie said with a bitter smile.

"Hehehe… how could I not be curious? Who exactly are you… and what is your relationship with Xiao Tian?!" Xiao Fan sneered and spoke slowly.

There are many coincidences in the world, but Wu Jie and Xiao Tian looked exactly the same; Xiao Fan absolutely did not believe this was a coincidence.

Moreover, there were too many secrets surrounding Wu Jie.

Xiao Fan had previously seen many of the Secret Techniques Wu Jie displayed, all of which he had seen within the star chart.

Furthermore, Wu Jie's attainments in Formations were astonishing; Xiao Fan had never seen anyone like him.

Plus, with what Zhu Zhenghao said earlier… he said that Wu Jie had failed.

What had Wu Jie done, and how did he fail?!

These were all questions that Xiao Fan was curious about…

"Hehehe… I am the previous owner of the star chart." Wu Jie said with a bitter smile.

Upon hearing Wu Jie's words, Xiao Fan was struck by lightning, standing frozen in place…

"Are you surprised?" Wu Jie asked slowly.

"Sur… surprised!" Xiao Fan was completely stunned.

Hearing Wu Jie's answer, this was no longer something that could be explained by mere surprise.

To think that Wu Jie was the previous owner of the star chart… this was something Xiao Fan found hard to accept for a moment.

"Hehehe… it seems the star chart hasn't told you anything." Wu Jie gave a bitter smile.

At this moment, Xiao Fan was using his Divine Thought to constantly communicate with the star chart, asking if Wu Jie's words were true or false…

Unfortunately, the star chart did not answer Xiao Fan…

"Come out, tell me quickly, is this true or not!"

"Give me some sign, will you?!"

"Hey…"

"…"

Xiao Fan's expression was grim; with the star chart remaining silent, Xiao Fan felt that Wu Jie's words were likely true.

"You… didn't you die?!" Xiao Fan asked after a long silence.

"I was lucky enough to survive…" Wu Jie smiled.

"How did you survive?!" Xiao Fan asked in surprise.

"Hehehe… just a Secret Technique of the Qingling Clan. Haven't you learned it too?" Wu Jie smiled faintly.

Hearing Wu Jie's words, Xiao Fan shuddered… The Qingling Clan's Secret Techniques were never simple; Xiao Fan had naturally witnessed them before.

Back then, it was by relying on a Qingling Clan Secret Technique that Qing Cang had quietly infiltrated the Nine Provinces.

"You… then what is going on with you? Why are you alive, yet the star chart still recognizes me as its master?!" Xiao Fan asked in surprise.

"Sigh… that is a long story." Wu Jie sighed and began to tell Xiao Fan the whole story from the beginning.

Back then, Wu Jie had accidentally obtained the star chart and rose to prominence; his original name was not Wu Jie, but Duan Tian…

At that time, Duan Tian was unrivaled, a renowned Prodigy across the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

But the God Race suspected that the supreme treasure of Shang Dao was on Duan Tian, so they relentlessly pursued him…

In the end, Duan Tian was schemed against by the God Race, and as he was on the verge of death, the star chart left Duan Tian…

After all, the star chart was a spark; if anything happened to it, the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds would be completely destroyed.

With the star chart gone, Duan Tian was unable to turn the tide… At the final moment, he separated his Primordial Spirit and, relying on the means of a Qingling Clan Secret Technique, was lucky enough to survive.

"One strand of my Primordial Spirit arrived in the Nine Provinces… and became your younger brother, Xiao Tian." Wu Jie said slowly.

Upon hearing Wu Jie's words, Xiao Fan was shocked…

"Are… are you telling the truth?!" Xiao Fan asked in surprise.

"Of course, is there any need for me to lie to you?" Wu Jie said faintly.

"This…" Xiao Fan was completely dumbfounded, standing frozen in place.

Wu Jie was actually Xiao Tian, his younger brother…

This matter was too sudden; Xiao Fan found it hard to accept for a moment.

"Hehehe… do you still remember? The evil thoughts and curses when I was born?" Wu Jie said slowly.

"I remember." Xiao Fan nodded.

Once, when Xiao Fan was in the River of Time, he had traveled to the past and seen things from his childhood.

At that time, an unimaginable evil thought found Xiao Tian and possessed him; this was also the reason why Xiao Tian hated Xiao Fan…

It was also for this reason that Xiao Tian and Xiao Fan, brothers, became enemies.

"Sigh… perhaps it was because it sensed the aura of the star chart, which is why a strand of my Primordial Spirit arrived in the Nine Provinces, in Wuhuang Continent, in the Xiao Family…" Wu Jie sighed and shook his head.

"And then what?!"

"Hehehe… what 'and then'?" Wu Jie said faintly.
