A Bloody Journey

Sun Mingxiu said with a bitter smile, "Although I am not from a great family, we used to be doing quite well. However, we were attacked by enemies and everyone was killed overnight. This is a thing of the past, and it is useless to say more. But, the most profound memory of the tragedy in my mind is when my late father was besieged by the enemy and fell into a disadvantageous and precarious situation. I know that he could break out and escape with his cultivation base, but he never did that and fought until he was killed. Before he died, he cried out at the top of his lungs—if a man cannot protect his family, what's the point of living?"

"My late father's words have been ringing in my ears all these years, and to be able to protect everything I have is my lifelong obsession."
