Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 882 - Brother Reunite

There was no time to explain. Liu Wuxie took out a healing pill and shoved it into Liu Tian's hand. "Take it quickly. It'll accelerate your recovery!"

Liu Tian was utterly confused by Liu Wuxie's action. The latter was set on killing them just moments ago, and he had now turned around to offer help.

However, Liu Tian was certain of one thing—this pill was a true treasure, something that couldn't simply be bought with spirit stones at the market. It was a genuine spiritual pill, one with a priceless value.

Liu Wuxie had scavenged it from an enemy and had been reluctant to use it.

"Why are you helping me?" Liu Tian hesitated, not taking the pill. His caution remained, and he was prepared to fight if this man had any ulterior motives.

"Focus on healing first, and we'll talk later!" Liu Wuxie urged, unwilling to waste time explaining. Yu Lin had escaped, and it was only a matter of time before he returned with reinforcements.

"Big Brother Tian, this friend doesn't seem to mean us any harm. Take the pill, quickly!" the woman beside him urged, worry evident in her eyes as Liu Tian's complexion paled.

Liu Tian ultimately listened to the woman and swallowed the pill. A surge of pure energy erupted within him, rapidly mending his injuries. Almost instantly, color returned to his face.

"Fiery!" Liu Wuxie called out.

Fiery came over and crouched down, allowing Liu Wuxie to put Liu Tian on its back.

On the contrary, Liu Tian had resigned himself to fate, and whether he lived or died no longer mattered to him.

After placing Liu Tian on Fiery, Liu Wuxie and Shuang'er traveled on foot. They didn't venture into the mountain range but changed direction to the nearest city.

Liu Wuxie knew they had to find a safe place, as lingering there any longer would be too dangerous.

Meanwhile, Liu Tian circulated his cultivation technique, gradually stopping the bleeding. Though his condition had stabilized, it would still take him a few days to fully recover.

"Now, you can tell me why you saved me. If you're after something from me, I suggest you give up now," Liu Tian said coldly after he stabilized his injuries.

Hearing what Liu Tian said, Liu Wuxie's brows furrowed. He now understood why his third uncle would look helpless whenever he mentioned Liu Tian.

"My name is Liu Wuxie. Liu Dashan is my father, Liu Dazhi is my second uncle, and your father is my third uncle. Do you understand our relationship now?" Liu Wuxie laid out his identity plainly.

"Bullshit! Since when did my eldest uncle have a fully grown son?" Liu Tian scoffed, immediately treating Liu Wuxie as a liar.

"Uh..." Liu Wuxie's forehead furrowed deeper as he restrained the urge to slap Liu Tian for cursing his father. But ignorance was no sin, and Liu Wuxie didn't blame him for it.

With no other choice, Liu Wuxie patiently explained everything—from his first visit to the Liu Clan half a year ago to the events that followed.

Finally, Liu Tian took a closer look at him. As he observed, he began to notice something—the resemblance between Liu Wuxie and his eldest uncle. A realization dawned on him. This boy might actually be his cousin.

"Hahaha! Who would've thought I, Liu Tian, would gain another younger brother!" Liu Tian leaped down from Fiery and pulled Liu Wuxie into a bear hug.

In the Liu family, Liu Feng was the eldest, Liu Tian the second, Liu Wuxie the third, followed by Liu Xing, Liu Yue, and Liu Yan.

"Big Brother Tian, you should get back on Fiery. Your wounds haven't fully healed, and you shouldn't be moving around," Liu Wuxie said, urging Liu Tian to mount again.

The woman was called Lu Shuang. She and Liu Tian had met a few months ago during a training expedition. He had saved her from a profound beast, and they had eventually pledged themselves to each other after spending months together.

Lu Shuang's injuries weren't too serious, and she had almost recovered after swallowing the pills given to her by Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie soon learned the full story from Liu Tian. During their training, the two had encountered disciples of the Scarlet Dragon Cult. The cult members took a liking to Lu Shuang's appearance, but with Liu Tian's fiery temper, he refused to tolerate such humiliation and killed them.

Unfortunately, one of them managed to escape and called in reinforcements, and Yu Lin was among them. They were no match for the reinforcements and were being hunted until they stumbled upon Liu Wuxie.

After hearing the whole story, Liu Wuxie couldn't help but sigh. If they hadn't run into him, Liu Tian would have already been dead.

"Wuxie, thank you for saving my life. If you hadn't appeared, my life would've ended here today," Liu Tian said with a wide grin. He was in a good mood to be alive.

"You've been out for over a year, and the third uncle has been worried sick. You should return after you have recovered," Liu Wuxie said after a brief pause. The Scarlet Dragon Cult held great authority here, and they would only be safe after returning to the clan.

"I've been out for a year and miss home now. I'll return after I've recovered," Liu Tian agreed.

He could feel a superior aura coming from Liu Wuxie, leaving him with an odd sense of respect and newfound curiosity. He was still shocked at how Liu Wuxie had killed eight men with one strike.

As Fiery picked up speed, Liu Wuxie had Lu Shuang ride along as well—her pace was too slow to keep up.

It took them half a day to cross the mountain range and reach the city.

"The teleportation array has closed for the night, and you two will have to wait until morning to leave," Liu Wuxie said. He found an inn where they could check in and rest for the night.

To avoid the Scarlet Dragon Cult's spies, they asked for a private courtyard that ensured enough space for them.

Liu Tian sat in the room cultivating. He had recovered about seventy percent of his injuries, though it would still take a few days for him to heal entirely.

"Wuxie, I don't know how to thank you enough. Big Brother Tian and I owe you everything." Lu Shuang came out and gave Liu Wuxie a deep bow.

Lu Shuang had remained quiet before Liu Tian, but now, she couldn't hold back her gratitude.

"We're a family, and there's no need for thanks," Liu Wuxie replied, waving it off with a smile. She would become Liu Tian's wife in the future, which meant she was his sister-in-law.

After returning to the room, Liu Wuxie sat on the bed and circulated the Desolate Devouring Art to cultivate.

Deep into the night, the Scarlet Dragon Cult's disciples swarmed into the city. In less than an hour, they had searched dozens of inns, leaving no stone unturned. With the city under their influence, no one dared to resist.

"Search every building and kill them on the spot if you find them!" A disciple at the high level of the Spirit Profound Realm ordered as he stood on the wall and looked around with hundreds of disciples scattering out.

The Scarlet Dragon Cult had a branch in the city, and they instantly mobilized more men to the search.

Though Liu Wuxie was immersed in his cultivation, he was vigilant. Everything happening outside caught his attention, and he stepped out of his room. He knew it wouldn't be long before they were discovered.

Their disguise meant nothing as their aura remained the same, and they would be discovered if examined closely.

The nearby inns had been searched, and the net was closing in.

Liu Wuxie turned around and entered Liu Tian's room.

"Wuxie, the Scarlet Dragon Cult has arrived?" Liu Tian sat up abruptly, his expression grim. He didn't need to ask—he already knew their pursuers had reached the city.

"They'll be here soon," Liu Wuxie replied. He had performed Ghost Eye to scan everything in the surroundings.

"Let's fight our way out then!" Liu Tian said. His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Transformation Realm, possessing combat strength comparable to those at the low levels of the True Profound Realm.

"No, there are too many of them," Liu Wuxie replied, shaking his head. He knew that a head-on clash was suicidal. Even he wasn't confident of escaping unscathed as the Scarlet Dragon Cult had dispatched experts at the high levels of the Spirit Profound Realm. Killing them all would be troublesome.

"What should we do then? Are we going to wait and die?" Liu Tian asked anxiously. Fighting was the only path he knew.

Liu Wuxie fell silent and paced around with furrowed brows. After a minute, he came to a decision.

"I'll go out and stall them. You two find a way to leave the city and let Fiery take you back to the Liu Clan," Liu Wuxie said. While Fiery lacked combat strength, its speed exceeded those at the high levels of the Spirit Profound Realm.

Cultivators at the Earth Profound Realm were rare in the Central Plains as they were too powerful.

"There's no way I'm leaving you behind!" Liu Tian refused. How would he explain to his father if Liu Wuxie died there while he escaped?

Liu Tian's respect for Liu Wuxie grew upon learning that he was a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy—a status that placed the weight of great expectations on his shoulders.

They were too old and weren't qualified to join the academy. Liu Tian had attempted the recruitment test but failed.

"None of us will survive if we stay together!" Liu Wuxie said in a commanding tone, leaving no room for discussion.

Their argument naturally woke Lu Shuang up, who ran over in panic.

"No! If we die, we die together! I won't leave you behind!" Liu Tian stood firm regardless of what Liu Wuxie said. He wasn't the kind of man to abandon his family to save himself.

"I have ways to escape, and you will only be a burden to me," Liu Wuxie said in a heavy tone. He didn't mean to belittle Liu Tian, but this was the only way.

"I know you're strong, and I'm not jealous. But I will never abandon my brother," Liu Tian responded. His personality was similar to Liu Dashan, who wouldn't be swayed once he had made a decision.

Footsteps echoed outside as Scarlet Dragon Cult disciples closed in.

Screams came from afar as local cultivators were disheveled and dragged out of their homes.

"Forgive me then," Liu Wuxie said and appeared before Liu Tian. He tapped his finger, and Liu Tian went limp before collapsing to the ground.
