Golden Basin Handwashing ceremony
When the Songshan School attacked during the ceremony, Young Master Liu was among the family members targeted. He was killed by Di Xiu, one of the Songshan disciples, along with his mother and sister. His death was part of the Songshan School’s brutal campaign to eliminate Liu Zhengfeng’s family.
