Stain Sect, Sea of Clouds.
When Lü Yang returned to Heaven Mending Peak, there was hardly an inch of unscathed flesh on his body. His injuries were even more severe than after the great battle at the Skull Mountains.
As he was returning to the sect on his Flying Boat, he was ambushed by the Righteous Sects. A cultivator at the Final-phase of Qi Refining used a technique to slice his left hand down to the bone. His face was also covered in festering sores, the result of a surprise attack by a Scorpion Demon Beast's stinger while passing through a forest.
And those were just the visible injuries.
Beneath the surface, his meridians, acupoints, Dantian, and even spirit had all suffered varying degrees of damage—and all at the hands of people weaker than him.
'This is Fortune... When luck runs out, even a hero is not free.'
