After walking a distance from the auction house, Liu Tong and Liu Hui exchanged a glance.

Instead of returning home, the two headed out of the city.

Although the arena in the city could solve many problems, martial artists still preferred to go outside the city.

There are no rules to govern there; people can kill at will.

Once they left the city, the people who had been following them no longer concealed themselves and appeared in front of them, surrounding them.

Liu Hui frowned.

He assumed that only the alchemist would be following them, since he was a lone wolf.

I never expected that this person would actually find an accomplice.

There were more than a dozen people surrounding them, the strongest of whom was already at the high level of the Bone Forging Realm.

He had only just reached the middle stage of the Blood Condensation Realm a few days ago, and was no match for that person at all.

What should we do?

Liu Hui clenched his fists. Even if it meant death, he would fight his way out so that his younger brother could escape.

A hand touched Liu Hui's fist. He turned his head and saw Liu Tong smiling at him.

That smile radiated confidence.

Liu Hui's heart was at peace.

Although he didn't know what level his younger brother was at, he was definitely stronger than he was before his dantian was destroyed.

These days, my younger brother has demonstrated the power of many magical artifacts, which shows how formidable the inheritance he has received is.

I'm afraid my younger brother has already reached the Bone Forging Realm.

Their gazes shifted to someone behind those people.

The person was rather short and was completely shrouded in a black cloak, making it impossible to tell whether he was fat or thin, or whether he was male or female.

The two have determined that this person is very likely the mysterious alchemist.

Liu Tong and Liu Hui made a move.

Liu Hui dealt with those at the Blood Condensation Realm, while Liu Dong faced off against the Bone Forging Realm expert.

Liu Dong's current strength is equivalent to the Meridian Opening Realm, so the person in the Bone Forging Realm is naturally no match for him.

Liu Tong quickly defeated the Bone Forging Realm cultivator and then went to help Liu Hui.

A dozen or so people quickly collapsed.

The mysterious man was taken aback and immediately threw a pill at Liu Tong and Liu Hui.

The pill exploded in mid-air, turning into poisonous mist.

Within their reach, flowers and plants withered instantly, demonstrating just how potent the poison was.

Liu Tong and Liu Hui remained calm, took out top-grade Qingyun Pills, and put them in their mouths. The toxins had no effect on them.

However, the accomplices of those mysterious men were only there to kill for money, and as a result, they lost their lives at the hands of their employers.

Seeing that the poison pills had no effect on the two, the mysterious man quickly threw out several other pills containing different poisons, then turned and ran.

Unfortunately, Qingyun Dan can cure all poisons.

Those poison pills still couldn't poison the two of them.

The mysterious man was much stronger than when he ambushed Liu Hui; he had already entered the Bone Forging Realm, and his escape methods were also quite formidable.

But he encountered Liu Dong and Liu Hui, who were on a winning streak.

He couldn't escape Liu Tong's spiritual sense range at all, and was caught up by Liu Tong in no time.

His strength was no match for Liu Dong's, and he was easily defeated by Liu Dong.

Liu Tong lifted the man's cloak, revealing his true face.

This is a young and beautiful face.

Liu Hui felt the person looked familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he called out the person's identity: "Ninth Princess?"

The Ninth Princess was a princess, but she was not valued by the emperor. In fact, princesses of the royal family were generally not valued; they were merely tools used by the royal family for political alliances.

Even if these princesses have better martial arts aptitude than the princes, the royal family will not devote much effort to training the princesses, but will instead give all the martial arts training resources to the princes.

The Ninth Princess's talent for martial arts was not very good, even worse than that of her sisters, so she was even less valued by the royal family.

This princess was practically invisible in the royal family.

Liu Hui got to know the Ninth Princess because when the Cold Moon Secret Realm opened, the Ninth Princess worked hard to secure a spot for herself to enter.

For this spot, the Ninth Princess knelt outside the Emperor's bedroom for three days and three nights.

This perseverance earned her high regard from everyone.

Liu Tong looked at Liu Hui: "She's been to the Cold Moon Secret Realm?"

Liu Hui nodded.

Liu Dong rubbed his chin, looking at the woman in front of him.

According to Liu Hui, the Ninth Princess is only three years older than the two of them, and is currently only around twenty years old, so she should be full of vigor.

But the woman in front of me had eyes full of worldliness and vicissitudes, not the eyes of a young person at all.

A hypothesis emerged.

Liu Tong stretched out her right hand, intending to perform a soul search.

But after glancing at Liu Hui beside him, he withdrew his hand.

Don't scare your older brother.

Liu Tong said, "There is a kind of pill that can relax a person's mind, and when others ask him questions, he will tell them everything on his mind without reservation."

Liu Hui is not a naive and innocent person; the Ninth Princess in front of him was the culprit who once turned him into a cripple.

He was neither chivalrous nor afraid of the power of the royal family.

Liu Hui subdued the Ninth Princess and took her back to their courtyard.

Liu Dong began refining elixirs.

After the pill was completed, Liu Hui immediately fed one to the Ninth Princess and then asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "I have no grudge against you, so why did you try to harm me?"

The Ninth Princess was in a daze, answering every question: "Because Liu Hui saw me enter the stalactite cave, I was afraid he would connect it to the fact that the Cold Moon Secret Realm was broken and it had something to do with me..."

It turns out that the Cold Moon Secret Realm was not shattered, but instead became the Ninth Princess's personal space.

The very center of the stalactite cave is also the core of the entire secret realm. There, not only is there stalactite liquid that has accumulated for tens of thousands of years, but also something that controls the entire secret realm.

The Ninth Princess refined the core and turned the Cold Moon Secret Realm into her personal space.

The monsters living in the secret realm felt that their home was gone, so they rioted and killed many young people who had entered the secret realm for training.

As the master of the secret realm, the Ninth Princess was naturally unharmed.

But to avoid arousing suspicion from others, she injured herself.

She encountered Liu Hui and his group before entering the stalactite cave. Fearing that Liu Hui would connect the disappearance of the secret realm with her, she mobilized the most powerful demonic beasts to deal with Liu Hui and his group.

She thought Liu Hui was definitely going to die.

But she didn't know that Liu Hui had a stand-in named Liu Dong.

Liu Hui survived, but the other Liu family disciples who were with him all died.

The Ninth Princess felt it wasn't safe enough and had to do it herself.

She used poison to destroy Liu Hui's dantian, and as she had predicted, Liu Hui became a pawn to be discarded, and there was no news of him afterward.

Having grown up in the royal family, she was very aware of the infighting within large families.

Many people die without knowing why.

The Ninth Princess thought that Liu Hui would die soon after becoming a cripple, so she didn't need to take action again.

Little did she expect that Liu Hui not only recovered his dantian, but also tied her up.

The Ninth Princess was unaware that one of the two young men before her was Liu Hui. She believed that by being reborn, she had seized opportunities that belonged to others, but she didn't realize that opportunities that didn't belong to her could also be taken away by others. (End of Chapter)
