His Cultivation Was Destroyed

Tianwu Continent, Great Zhou Dynasty, Qingyue Town, Jiang Family main hall.

Many Jiang Family clansmen had gathered in the Jiang Family main hall.

"Pfft." A burst of force struck the abdomen of a young man named Jiang Chen, directly blasting a bloody hole through it.

"Ah..." Jiang Chen let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground. He looked at the woman before him in disbelief.

Jiang Chen, eighteen years old, a genius disciple of the Jiang Family, Martial Artist Realm, Second Level.

The one who had attacked him was none other than his childhood sweetheart and fiancée, Liu Yun.

Although Liu Yun was strikingly beautiful, her expression was icy at this moment, without the slightest trace of emotion.

"Liu Yun, you actually destroyed my son Jiang Chen's cultivation. You're too ruthless!" A man who looked to be in his thirties, Jiang Yunfeng, roared furiously. As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked Liu Yun directly.

Jiang Yunfeng was Jiang Chen's father. How could he not be enraged upon seeing his son's cultivation destroyed?

As a result, a powerful burst of force came sweeping over and struck him. He was sent flying in an instant, crashed into the wall, and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

The person who had attacked was the young man standing beside Liu Yun. He was Liu Yun's senior brother, Chen Ang, a Martial Grandmaster Realm, Sixth Level expert.

Jiang Yunfeng was only at the Martial Master Realm, Fifth Level. How could he possibly be his opponent?

From lowest to highest, the realms were the Martial Apprentice Realm, Martial Artist Realm, Martial Master Realm, Martial Grandmaster Realm, Martial King Realm, Martial Emperor Realm, Martial Venerable Realm, Martial Saint Realm, Martial Sovereign Realm, and Martial God Realm.

Each major realm was further divided into ten minor levels.

There were also several other Martial Grandmaster Realm senior brothers beside Liu Yun.

"Father..." Jiang Chen, lying on the ground, cried out in alarm. The moment he moved, he tugged at the wound in his abdomen, making him grit his teeth in pain.

"Cough..." Jiang Yunfeng struggled to climb up from the floor, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

The surrounding Jiang Family clansmen's expressions changed. They glared furiously at Liu Yun and the others, but although they were enraged, the other side was too powerful, and no one dared step forward.

"Liu Yun, it would have been bad enough if you had only destroyed my cultivation, but you even injured my father. You're an ungrateful woman!" Jiang Chen said, his voice brimming with hatred.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun's expression shifted unpredictably. However, in order to pursue greater strength, she had no choice but to do this.

"I did this for your own good as well. Jiang Chen, this time, I admit that I wronged you, but you cannot stand in the way of my pursuit," Liu Yun said calmly.

"Hahaha, you keep saying it's for our own good, yet you destroyed my cultivation and injured my father." Jiang Chen roared furiously. The true qi within him was now dispersing, and his cultivation was completely gone. The physical wound paled far in comparison to the wound in his heart.

However, no one noticed that the blood on Jiang Chen's body had stained the black bead on his chest, which absorbed it.

Jiang Chen had picked up this black bead outside a month ago. It was extremely hard, so he had wrapped a rope around it, tied it securely, and worn it on his body.

Twelve years ago, the Liu Family, one of the Four Great Families of Qingyue Town, had been wiped out overnight.

At the time, five-year-old Liu Yun had hidden inside a dried-up well and thus escaped the calamity, becoming the Liu Family's sole survivor.

The destruction of the Liu Family had caused a sensation throughout Qingyue Town. Afterward, Jiang Yunfeng discovered Liu Yun in the dried-up well and brought her home to raise her.

Liu Yun had been close to Jiang Chen since childhood, and Jiang Yunfeng had also adored her. Thus, he arranged a marriage contract between the two. When they were young, Liu Yun had always followed behind Jiang Chen, calling him "Brother Jiang Chen" every other sentence.

Liu Yun had possessed an exceptionally outstanding cultivation talent since childhood. Thus, the Jiang Family had spent vast amounts of resources on her. By the age of fourteen, she had already reached the Martial Artist Realm, Third Level, becoming a renowned genius in Qingyue Town.

Three years ago, an Outer Sect Elder from the Chaohai Sect, one of the Four Great Sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, passed through Qingyue Town and discovered Liu Yun's talent, inviting her to join the Chaohai Sect.

Everyone in the Jiang Family was delighted. Liu Yun was Jiang Chen's fiancée, and once her cultivation became accomplished, the Jiang Family would benefit as well. Naturally, they agreed to let Liu Yun join the Chaohai Sect. Such an opportunity was something countless people could only dream of.

Jiang Yunfeng's family was envied by countless people as well.

Thus, when Liu Yun returned this time and had the Jiang Family gather its clansmen, saying that she had something to announce, Jiang Chen and his father were still very happy. Yet after everyone had gathered, Liu Yun suddenly attacked and pierced through Jiang Chen's dantian.

"This time, I returned to the Jiang Family mainly to dissolve my engagement with you," Liu Yun said.

"What?" Many members of the Jiang Family were stunned. Liu Yun had suddenly destroyed Jiang Chen's cultivation and then wanted to dissolve her engagement with him. Wasn't she being far too ruthless?

Liu Yun had been raised by Jiang Yunfeng. For the sake of helping her achieve success in cultivation, Jiang Yunfeng had provided her with countless resources. Jiang Chen had also often shared his own cultivation resources with Liu Yun. That was why Liu Yun's cultivation had advanced so quickly.

Only three years had passed, yet the current Liu Yun had become someone none of them recognized.

"Also, I'm here to sever all ties with the Jiang Family. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Jiang Family," Liu Yun continued.

Liu Yun's words enraged many members of the Jiang Family. This Liu Yun was simply too heartless.

"I truly regret adopting you back then," Jiang Yunfeng said resentfully. Liu Yun's actions now were completely a case of repaying kindness with enmity.

"Jiang Chen, you should be thankful that you managed to keep your life. If Junior Sister Liu hadn't pleaded for you, you wouldn't have survived. Junior Sister Liu is the woman our Chaohai Sect's chief disciple, Senior Brother Ye Yuntian, has taken a liking to."

"He hates people coveting his woman. He originally wanted us to kill you, but because of Junior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Ye relented and spared your life. However, your cultivation had to be destroyed. As for your former engagement with Junior Sister Liu, this matter must not be spread. It would reflect badly on Senior Brother Ye." Chen Ang sneered from the side.

A minor lineage like this was not worth the attention of geniuses like them.

The strongest person in the Jiang Family was its patriarch, Jiang Tian, who was at the Martial Grandmaster Realm, First Level. Any one of the several geniuses among them had a higher cultivation than Jiang Tian. With the exception of Liu Yun, who was currently at the Martial Master Realm, Seventh Level, all of them were stronger. At seventeen, Liu Yun's cultivation already rivaled that of a Jiang Family elder.

Patriarch Jiang Tian also wore a gloomy expression. The other side was bullying them too much, but their strength was terrifyingly great, and he did not dare act rashly lest he bring a great disaster upon the Jiang Family.

"Moreover, your Jiang Family is a weak lineage. To Junior Sister Liu, you're nothing but a burden, with not the slightest benefit. So severing ties is also Senior Brother Ye's intention."

Only then did everyone understand the reason behind everything. Liu Yun had climbed onto a lofty branch in the Chaohai Sect and now looked down on everything belonging to the Jiang Family.

"There are five Third-tier Ascension Pills and Five Hundred Yangyuan Pills in this bag. They're enough to repay the kindness your Jiang Family has shown me all these years. One-fifth of them is for Uncle Jiang Yunfeng. From now on, I have no further ties with the Jiang Family." Liu Yun took out a bag and placed it on the table.

A Third-tier Ascension Pill could unconditionally raise a Martial Master Realm expert by one level.

A Second-tier Yangyuan Pill could increase the cultivation of Martial Artist Realm and Martial Master Realm experts. It was an excellent cultivation pill.

Upon hearing this, quite a few members of the Jiang Family's eyes lit up, and their anger toward Liu Yun for injuring Jiang Yunfeng and his son lessened.

"Do you think a few pills can make up for everything? You destroyed my son Jiang Chen's entire future!" Jiang Yunfeng roared furiously.

"Liu Yun, you're vicious. I will definitely avenge this hatred!" Jiang Chen said, filled with fury.

"Hmph, Jiang Chen, you're a cripple now. You still want revenge? Senior Brother Ye is a favored son of heaven. He's only twenty-five, yet he's already at the Martial King Realm. I believe it won't be long before he becomes a Martial Emperor Realm expert. Even if you still had your cultivation, you could never match Senior Brother Ye in your entire life," Chen Ang said, his tone filled with awe toward Ye Yuntian.

After hearing Chen Ang's words, everyone was deeply shocked. To the people of Qingyue Town, Martial King Realm experts were legendary existences, let alone Martial Emperor Realm experts.

Jiang Chen and his father hated Liu Yun and were unwilling to accept her pills, but that did not mean that no one else had such thoughts.

The Third-tier Ascension Pills in particular were tempting to the many elders. They could save them several years of bitter cultivation.

"Brother Jiang Chen, I'm sorry. From childhood until now, you've always given way to me. This time, just consider it fulfilling my wish. The most I can do is preserve your life. Senior Brother Ye has great prestige in the Chaohai Sect. Don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't want to be trapped in the Great Zhou Dynasty for my entire life. The world outside is vast." Liu Yun spoke, her tone carrying tremendous ambition.

For the sake of realizing her ambitions, so what if the Jiang Family had shown her kindness?

She could abandon them all the same.

Jiang Chen understood. Liu Yun had become even more ambitious and needed Ye Yuntian's help to leave the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It was rumored that outside the Great Zhou Dynasty lay incomparably powerful and ancient sects, whose experts possessed the might to move mountains and fill seas, along with long lifespans.

"Liu Yun, you will definitely regret what you've done today." A chill flashed through Jiang Chen's eyes.

Liu Yun's expression grew somewhat complicated, but when she thought of how she could not let emotions control her if she wanted to become even stronger, she quickly returned to her icy expression.

"I won't regret it. From now on, we probably won't ever meet again. All right, we should leave," Liu Yun said.

She did not want to stay in the Jiang Family any longer.

"Take your pills with you. Our Jiang Family doesn't need them," Jiang Chen said.

"Who said we don't need them? These are Miss Liu's repayment to our Jiang Family, not something belonging only to your branch of the Jiang Family!" the Great Elder spoke up at this moment.

The Great Elder was Jiang Chen's uncle, Jiang Hai, and he was at the Martial Master Realm, Eighth Level.

"That's right. These are Miss Liu's gift to our Jiang Family," several elders also said.

Third-tier Ascension Pills were extremely expensive. The Jiang Family could not bear to purchase such costly pills for its clansmen.

The Jiang Family patriarch, Jiang Tian, said helplessly at this moment, "Then from now on, the Jiang Family has no further relationship with you, Miss Liu."

Jiang Chen was his grandson. It was impossible for him not to be enraged upon seeing Jiang Chen's cultivation destroyed.

However, every one of the people beside Liu Yun was stronger than him, and behind them stood the colossal Chaohai Sect.

If he dared to attack, the Jiang Family might be destroyed because of it.

Now that he was the patriarch, he had to consider the greater picture and remain composed.

"Thank you for your understanding, Grandpa Jiang," Liu Yun said softly.

Then she left the Jiang Family with several senior brothers, without even looking back.

Watching Liu Yun and the others leave, Jiang Chen fainted from excessive blood loss and the rage attacking his heart.

Jiang Yunfeng was frantic. He hurried over to examine Jiang Chen's injuries and only breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that his life was not in danger.

"If you want the pills, take them. I, Jiang Yunfeng, don't want them anyway." After saying this, Jiang Yunfeng carried Jiang Chen away from the main hall.
