Chapter 1-The Love of a father

5000 years later

A young girl at the age of 15 sat under a tree watcing her sheep graze, her skin was white, and her smooth long hair, black, she had small lips that were rosy pink in color, she was the very definition of a budding beauty.

Although she was only 15 her bossom was not small, one could tell that in a few years she would no doubt become a beauty akin to that of godesses.

The girl's name was Chen Qing Yan, the daughter of the shepered couple of Chen Hong Feng and Huang Li Hua.Together this family of 3 lived in a village called tranquil river village. The village was located in the desolate country of Zhao.

In this world power is authority, the local tyrant is the Li Clan, who had the support of a cultivation sect called the jade cloud sect. In spirit spring city, a city not far away from the village.

There were mainly 6 cultivation realms, Body Tempering(split into 9 levels), apprentice realm, master realm, Grandmaster realm and Earthly shedding realm. In the country of Zhu the amount of Earthly shedding realm experts can be counted on one finger, each one of them a prominant figure of the country, a single word from them and a whole city and village will be destroyed.

The Li clan who has the backing of a cultivation sect, obviously had more acess to resources, resulting in them having higher levels of cultivation than the rest of the people in the village.

The patriarch of the Li clan was the peak existance in the village of Li clan,Li Tian Ming, with the cultivation of middle stage of the Apprentice realm, at the age of 46 years old, it can be said that his talent is only odinary, his son Li Meng however is more talented than his father with the cultivation of the 6th stage at the age of 17, he was the top genius of the village, he is a disciple at the jade cloud sect.

The sect was the second strongest sect in the city, there being 10 master realm elders and a grandmaster realm Grand elder! The grand elder was one of the 3 people in the city to have the cultivation of grandmaster realm, in the country, they can be considered existances only second to the king and the earthly shedding experts.

Chen Qing Yan's beauty was known throughout the village, and many had already expressed their love for her, the Li clan young patriarch Li Meng, most girls in the village would jump into his bed volunterily, after all he is the son of the monarch of the village, Qing yan's father was 38 and at the 5th stage of body tempering while her mother was at the 3rd stage, Qing Yan herself being at the 2nd stage.

The Chen family can be considered an ant when compared to the Li family. It wasn't that Chen Hong Feng wasn't talented in cultivation, he just had no reason to, as far as he can remember the chen famolu had always been shepereds, he had only ocassionaly practiced martial arts to defend his sheep if any bandits were to try and steal them.

Qing yan arrived at her house after locking the sheep back into their fenced area. She was greeted by her father whom pulled her into the house and franticly told her.

"Yan-er, come in quickly, That brat Li Meng is back from the sect." Chen Hong Feng didn't like Li Meng, because the "Young patriarch" had proposed to Qing Yan before and had been rejected, but instead of accepting the rejection he had threatened to make her fall in love with him regardless, and that one day she will willingly warm his bed.

As a father Chen Hong Feng would no doubt not tolarate this, the only reason he had not killed Li Meng then and there was because Li Meng is stronger than him, even if its just a single level, the fact that Li Meng came from a sect means he has martial techniques which would be much stronger than Chen Hong Feng's techniques that he had developed from cutting wood or waving a rake at scarecrows. Not to mention that Li Meng had both the Li clan and the cultivation sect behind him, Chen Hong Feng wouldn't mind dying to protect his daughter, but after he dies what would the sect and the Li family do to her? He didn't even dare to imagine.

His only option was to hide her and say that she was ut of the village to visit distant relatives. Li meng had also killed Qing Yan's childhood friend, a boy called Ye Zheng, Qing Yan had cried for 3 whole months after the death, during this time Chen Hong Feng had swore that no matter what he will not let his daughter suffer again, he blamed himself and his ancestors for not being strong, for only being sheperds, ultimately he could do nothing.

" Yaner, father and mother have decided that from now on you will live with your aunt in the village next to this, so that Li Meng won't be able to force you, we head out tonight."

A few hours later there was a knocking at the door to the chen family's house. Chen Hong Feng opened the door, 4 people stood in front of him. "Little meng!How nice to see you, I am glad that you are doing well!" He said in fake suprise and care.

Li Meng was a head taller than Chen Hong Feng, and was in a light green robe, 3 others behind him. they were all wearing the same color of robe, indicating that they are from the same sect. But different from Li Meng was that they were all young masters of powerful clans in the city of spiritspring.

They only followed Li Meng to this village because Li Meng's family had to pay tribute to their families and their fathers had told them to collect it personally and visit smaller villages to broaden thei experience, they had seen Qing Yan herding the sheep when they arrived and were immediately captured by her beauty.

They had immediately asked Li Meng who the girl they saw was, Li Meng didn't wan't to tell them, afterall he also wanted Qing Yan, but what could he do when these young masters can wipe out his family with a word! He could only bring them to where Qing Yan lived.

Li Meng didn't return Chen Hong Feng's greeting, he only asked "Where is Yan-er" Chen Hong Feng was enraged, but he calmed himself and replied 'She went out of the village to visit her aunt in another village." Li meng's eyes narrowed and one of the young masters behind him snorted, he had made a mental note to teach this man a lesson for lying. they looked at each other and nodded before Li Meng said "Alright then." and left.

When they were far from the house one of the young masters spoke. "He knows our intentions and has probably hidden her, my guess is that he will try and take her away tonight." "Young master Zhen is very wise!" Li Meng complimented and the other two agreed.

Night came Chen Hong Feng brought Qing Yan out of the house, he hugged her with tears in his eyes "sorry Yan-er father is useless father cannot protect you and have to send you away from home. Qing yan also had tears in her eyes as she hugged her dad back 'Yan-er thinks father isn't useless, Father is Yan-er's hero!" Chen Hong Feng felt warmth, he really wasn't willing to part with this daughter of his, but this was the only way to save her from Li Meng and now his groups of "friends".

Just then a cold voice spoke "what is a father and a daughter doing out here at this hour, and wasn't your daughter out of the village?" Both Qing Yan and her father looked at the origin of the sound, The person who spoke was the same person named Young master Zhen, along with Li Meng and the 2 others.

"I..." before Chen Hong Feng could finish he felt pain in his chest as he was punched, he flew 2 meters away and hit a tree blood spurting out of his mouth. Before he could attempt to stand up he was kicked and he fell onto the floor. Qing Yan ran to him but was caught by one of the young masters, that young master could barely hold his lust in as he felt the softness of Qing yan's skin.

Qing Yan tried to struggle and cried out "Father! Bad man Let me go!" the Young master chuckled and pinned her onto the ground. Young master Zhen then walked over to Qing Yan's father, he stepped onto the hand and feet of Chen Hong Feng, bone chilling cracking sounds could be heard, followed by the howling of a man in pain. Despite this however, Chen Hong Feng was still conscious his eyes red, as he stared at Young master Zhen.

'YOU BASTARD, YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS, EVEN IF YOU DO FOR NOW I WILL F**KING KILL YOU NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!" he roared with every fibre of his body, Young master Zhen looked at him with mockery and kicked Chen Hong Feng's Jaw, shattering it.

With this the Father finally fainted. Lights illuminated the area as villagers rushed over to see the commotion, upon seeing the scene, they understood what happened, but they didn't dare speak their mind, the young masters were people they could not offend no matter what.

Qing Yan looked at these people whom had shared drinks with her father and called him Brother Hong for countless years, with plead. But the men looked away not willing to meet her eyes. Young master Zhen spoke "Villagers, sorry for the disturbance but i happened to be star gazing when I saw this man over here suddenly embrace his daughter and tried to commit indecent acts to her without her permission, and so I interviened."

The villagers knodded and one man replied "Young master, you have our grattitude for ridding our village of such a beast." With that they turned and walked away. Qing Yan screamed at them "Wait! MY FATHER IS INNOCENT..pleas help fath..." she was cut off as she was knocked unconscious by the Young master holding her. he then carried her in a princess carry and walked away with Young Master Zhen and the others.
