Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Liu Tong spat out a mouthful of blood.

He understood that Liu Hui had been seriously injured.

This injury must have been fatal, otherwise he wouldn't have felt like he was only one step away from death.

His internal organs were all shattered, several bones were broken, and even his dantian (lower abdomen) was shattered...

A shattered dantian means that a person can no longer practice martial arts.

Even if Liu Dong survives this time, he will become a cripple.

He smirked, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted.

His servants were greatly alarmed and hurriedly sent someone to inform the head of the Liu family.

The head of the Liu family brought some medicinal herbs from his home for Liu Tong to take.

But those medicines were completely ineffective for Liu Dong. Even though he survived, his dantian was ruined, and he could no longer practice martial arts.

It would be a waste for a useless person to take any more elixirs.

After confirming that Liu Tong's life had been saved, the Liu family head did not give Liu Tong any more medicine, but instead left the medicine for Liu Hui.

If Liu Tong almost died, then Liu Hui's injuries will only be more severe.

Although most of the damage was transferred to Liu Tong, Liu Hui still suffered some damage.

Now, I just hope that Liu Hui's dantian is okay so that he can continue to cultivate in the future.

Patriarch Liu hurriedly went to the location of the Cold Moon Secret Realm.

The Cold Moon Secret Realm has collapsed, and all the monsters inside have escaped.

All the warriors were slaying the demonic beasts.

Fortunately, although there were many demonic beasts, they were all below the Bone Forging stage and none of them were able to escape the warriors' encirclement. They were all killed.

The heads of each family hurriedly entered the shattered secret realm to find their own disciples and bring them home.

Those who can be saved should be treated immediately.

No one noticed that a girl who wasn't seriously injured glanced at the Cold Moon Secret Realm and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

The head of the Liu family returned to the Liu family home and ordered the physician to treat his precious son immediately.

This time, the Liu family suffered heavy casualties. Among the younger generation who entered, not one was unharmed. Half of them died on the spot, and the remaining half were all seriously injured.

Half of those who were seriously injured had their foundation damaged. Even if they recovered, they would become useless and their cultivation would be very slow in the future.

Liu Hui was one of those people who deserved to die, but Liu Dong saved him from disaster.

Although he was seriously injured, he was the one who was the least injured among them.

Moreover, his dantian is intact, allowing him to continue cultivating, making him far stronger than the other three young masters from noble families whose foundations were damaged due to severe injuries.

Now that only one of the four young masters is alive and well, the title has naturally become obsolete.

The royal family investigated the whole story of the Cold Moon Secret Realm, but found nothing. They only knew that the monsters inside had suddenly rioted, causing this disaster.

To compensate for the losses suffered by the various noble families, the royal family decided to open the Jade Blood Pool, allowing all the young people who survived the Cold Moon Secret Realm incident to soak in it.

This decision appeased the discontent of the powerful families. The Jade Blood Pool was beneficial to those whose foundations were damaged, as it could slightly repair some of the damaged meridians and dantian.

Liu Hui was the happiest, as his injury would heal after a period of rest.

This time, by soaking in the Azure Blood Pool, he can use the water to directly break through the Blood Condensation Realm and enter the Bone Forging Realm.

Liu Hui didn't question why he was the least injured. He assumed it was due to the protective gear the family head had given him. He had no idea that a young master with the same blood as him had died the day his injuries healed.

Upon receiving the report from his servant, the head of the Liu family sighed and said, "Let him be buried with great honors."

He was my own flesh and blood, and I never imagined he would die before he even reached adulthood.

Sigh, the most regrettable thing is that Liu Hui will no longer have a double. We need to pay more attention to his safety in the future, and send a few more bodyguards to Liu Hui.

Let's marry Liu Hui the protective magical artifact from our clan.

The head of the Liu family was focused on his own heir and remained indifferent and cold towards his youngest son, who was being dragged out in a coffin.

Seven days after the coffin was buried, in the middle of the night, a pair of hands emerged from the soil, followed by a head.

Luckily, the tomb keeper wasn't there, otherwise people would have thought the place was haunted or that a corpse had risen from the dead.

Liu Dong emerged from the mud, brushed off the dirt, and stretched.

I slept so well; not only did it repair my dantian, but I also left the Liu family immediately after waking up.

After that, they were free to roam the vast world.

Liu Dong restored his grave, left the cemetery, and came to a small courtyard.

This courtyard belongs to the Liu family, but it has been abandoned for a long time.

It is said to be a house belonging to a branch of the Liu family, but that family all died overnight, and the house has been left empty.

Some say they offended someone they shouldn't have.

Others considered the house unlucky, and no one wanted to live there.

Liu Tong tidied up a room and rested there for one night.

The next day, Liu Dong made up her face and left the house.

The capital city was bustling with activity, but the matter of the Cold Moon Secret Realm was merely a topic of conversation for ordinary people.

Liu Dong walked through the crowd, looking around like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the capital.

He was indeed unfamiliar with the capital. For more than ten years, he had been confined to the small courtyard of the Liu family. He rarely went out to go shopping, and he even rarely saw outsiders.

The only people coming in and out of the courtyard were his two servants and the head of the Liu family.

Liu Dong entered the restaurant and ordered several dishes.

He ate while listening to the gossip of the people in the restaurant.

The topic of conversation among the people was the Cold Moon Secret Realm, since it had only recently occurred and so many people had died.

Before long, the customers in the restaurant started arguing.

It turned out that most of these guests were from the four major families. Because the geniuses of three families in the Cold Moon Secret Realm were half crippled, while Liu Hui was perfectly fine, the other three families were very uncomfortable and started to speculate that Liu Hui had destroyed the Cold Moon Secret Realm in order to eliminate their rivals.

Of course, this argument is untenable.

Liu Hui is just a low-level martial artist in the Blood Condensation Realm, how could he possibly destroy a secret realm?
To destroy even the lowest level of a secret realm, one would need at least the cultivation level of the Sea Opening Realm.

Unfortunately, the three families insisted on pinning the blame on Liu Hui and damaging his reputation.

Those who weren't from the four families were happy to watch the spectacle and helped spread rumors.

Previously, several independent cultivators were discussing this matter, which was overheard by the Liu family.

The Liu family members were outraged and stood up to vindicate Liu Hui, wanting to teach those rogue cultivators a lesson.

The other three families also stepped forward to help the rogue cultivator.

And so the two sides clashed.

Martial arts practitioners are hot-tempered; they start fighting after only a few words of argument.

However, there was a rule in the capital that prohibited fighting and killing within one's own household, so a group of people agreed to go to the arena to fight.

That was set up by the royal family specifically to allow military men to resolve conflicts.

If the two sides have a deep-seated grudge, they can sign a life-or-death pact and fight each other in the arena until one of them dies. (End of Chapter)
