"That's enough, enough. Take me to the hospital first, my arm is severely injured!"
"Alright, young master. We'll arrange a car immediately. But before that, please forgive my rudeness, I need to examine your injury."
"Then hurry, examine it quickly."
Looking at the current state of Situ Liuguang's arm, the attendant felt that something was amiss. As he stepped forward and lifted Situ Liuguang's arm to carefully examine the wound, he gasped.
"Young master, your injury is very serious. We must go to the hospital for surgery immediately. The sooner the surgery, the less damage, and the more conducive to recovery!"
Hearing the attendant's words, Situ Liuguang frowned.
"Tell me the truth, how bad is my injury!"
"The muscles and ligaments are torn, and the joint cartilage is also bruised!"
"Will this affect my strength? And how long will it take to recover from such an injury?"
"Your strength will definitely be affected. You need to find the best orthopedic surgeon to reattach the torn tendons and ligaments. After the wound heals, our family physician will help you with rehabilitation. However, if you want to practice martial arts with this arm again, it will take at least half a year of recuperation!"
"Damn it, this is too detestable! Hurry and investigate who that assassin was, I want to kill his entire family!"
A few minutes later, a convoy of several cars headed towards the capital. Their destination was the Third People's Hospital in the capital. This hospital was a top-tier facility in sports medicine, widely recognized as the absolute best. Most athletes in the country received treatment here after injuries.
After a series of examinations, the hospital's top experts held a consultation. Then, cutting the queue, he was taken directly to the operating room, with the two most skilled directors personally performing the surgery.
The surgery, which lasted nearly 7 hours, concluded. Situ Liuguang was wheeled out of the operating room. By this time, the patriarch of the Situ family, Situ Ye, had already arrived and inquired with the doctor. The doctor informed him that the surgery was very successful and had basically met the pre-operative goals. Situ Ye then breathed a sigh of relief and had his subordinates give the doctors generous red envelopes.
In the ward, the anesthesia finally wore off, and Situ Liuguang opened his eyes. He saw several people standing by his bedside, one of whom was the patriarch, Situ Ye.
"Patriarch..." Situ Liuguang struggled to get up but was stopped by Situ Ye.
"The doctor said you need to rest in bed, especially not to move around for the first week. Just lie there peacefully. The family doctor has also examined your injury and the surgery. The surgery was successful, so just wait. After a month, when the wound has completely healed, the family doctor will help you with rehabilitation. Although you won't be able to move this arm vigorously for half a year, it won't affect your cultivation. You should still focus your energy on the Black Flame Art, as internal energy is the foundation..."
"Thank you for your concern, Patriarch. However, for my cultivation, I still need a cauldron..."
"Don't worry, we will continue to pressure the Wang family!"
"But the Wang family is as stubborn as a turtle with a heart of iron, and they've even hidden that Wang Bingxia..."
"So what? Even if we can't find Wang Bingxia, we can find another woman with the Profound Yin physique to be your cauldron! There's more than just Wang Bingxia with the Profound Yin physique. China is so vast, what kind of cauldron can't our family find!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Patriarch. By the way, have you found out who assassinated me? Has the culprit been caught?"
Upon hearing Situ Liuguang's question, Situ Ye's expression turned extremely grim. This was because the people Situ Liuguang had sent to pursue the assassin that day not only failed to capture the culprit but also resulted in the deaths of five people! Ling Tian, disguised as Yun Hantian, the sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect, had attacked from afar with his flying sword while escaping, causing heavy casualties to the Shi Tou family.
"Just like your brother, it was done by those lunatics from the crooked path! A bunch of madmen, desperadoes, who are now imitating those big companies, playing with KPIs and last-place eliminations! This world is truly too crazy!"
The Situ patriarch had already obtained relevant intelligence from the Righteous Alliance and learned about the changes within the crooked path. He found the outcome hard to believe, but the facts were there, and the sects in China had suffered heavy losses. For these large families and sects, most of the casualties were the elites of the younger generation. As for the smaller sects with less strength, their sect leaders were the ones who suffered. There was even a small sect that lost three sect leaders in a month. Essentially, as soon as a new sect leader took office, they were eliminated. In the end, no one was willing to be the sect leader of this small sect, and it was simply disbanded.
After hearing Situ Ye's explanation, Situ Liuguang's expression turned very grim. He understood that revenge seemed difficult. After all, if the culprit's identity was unknown, the Situ family would have to go to war with the entire crooked path. Even a fool could see that this was impossible. The family would not risk completely offending the crooked path just to vent his anger, especially considering that these people were powerful lunatics. Doing so would likely bring about the Situ family's utter destruction.
"Liuguang, don't be discouraged. Although the culprit wasn't caught, we have confirmed his identity!"
"Tell me quickly, who is he!" Situ Liuguang gritted his teeth.
"This person, although his face was covered, based on his build, movements, and his skill in controlling flying swords, we can confirm that this person is Yun Hantian, the sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect. There were rumors in the martial world that the Tianshan Sword Sect had defected to the crooked path, but the Tianshan Sword Sect people vehemently denied it. However, it now seems that this matter has been confirmed! Another point is that those from the crooked path, for their KPI assessments, have a ranking of Thirteen Guardians. Two names on the list are obscured. We now have reason to believe that one of these two hidden figures is Yun Hantian, the sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect!"
"Patriarch, this revenge must be taken! Even if not for me, but for the family's deceased attendant and several brothers, we cannot let this go! I implore you to issue an order for our Situ family to declare all-out war on the Tianshan Sword Sect!"
"Rest assured, I have already begun gathering intelligence on the Tianshan Sword Sect. Once their whereabouts are found, I will immediately dispatch the Yazui team! Whether it's Yun Hantian or the Tianshan Sword Sect, I will not let a single one of them go!"
