Chapter 181: Watching the Sunrise Together
Qilong Island.
This long, narrow island, resembling a prostrated ancient dragon, was named for its shape[1]. Though modest in size, its abundance of spiritual power made it a prime location for a cave dwelling, earning it some renown over the years. After the Liu Brothers took it over, Qilong Island became even more well-known.
The Liu Brothers practiced the same cultivation art, and both were remarkably gifted. At a young age, they reached the thirteenth stage of the Qi Refining Realm, with a potential chance of achieving the Foundation Building Realm if fortune favored them.
Even while still in the Qi Refining Realm, the two of them could join forces to fight Foundation Building cultivators. Should they advance to Foundation Building, they would become even more formidable, so few rogue cultivators dared provoke them.
The Liu family members resided on Qilong Island, enjoying a peaceful and fitting life under the protection of the Liu Brothers. However, this tranquility was destined to shatter after the brothers' passing.
That morning, the usually composed butler of the Liu Residence barged hastily into the inner residence, a look of panic on his face. He tripped over the doorstep, nearly falling, but paid no heed to his own embarrassment.
Hearing the commotion, Liu Jiang’s wife stepped out from her room, frowning as she questioned him in displeasure, "What could be so urgent, Uncle Wu, that you rush in like this?"
"Madam, it’s a disaster! A disaster!"
Uncle Wu hurried to her side, whispering a few words in her ear.
