Prologue
"Thank the three Heavens Yan Hua is going to die" Lady Liu said putting a hand on her chest delighted smiling. Yan Hua was 14 and taller the news of him being taken to the dead lands spread like wildfire and by mid day it was the main topic in taverns and houses.
"it is a good riddance if I say myself he was nothing but a stray dog"
"True so good of Lord Liu to keep him so long while he caused only unluckiness"
"they should have killed him a long time a go if not for them he would be a nobody"
"i would have sold him into slavery before he could walk"
it was no surprise to anyone that they hated him he was a trouble maker and Wreck and above all a bastard born in an unlucky day bringing only scourge and extremes the Liu clan were the lord and protectors cultivators they were also seen like gods.
Yan Hua was also a cultivator but a "useless" one he had awakened flame with the first young master of Liu -his half brother paternally- while both awakened flame Yan Hua's was grey and "burned nothing" so they were glad he was gone especially the young master Liu
"He was a mistake they're going to dump him in the dead lands let whatever lives there get him" he told his friends with a smirk his indigo robes bright in the sun a signature color of his Liu clan they were not major but well known and rich in the area if the sects came he would surely be picked unlike his no good Bastard brother.
It was nightfall the road was lighten up by a thousand lanterns men in black capes stood with ropes and sacks in the east courtyard the shack was brocken down inside Yan Hua was asleep not knowing anything outside.
*Yan Hua=the bastard son

Chapter 1: The Bastard Son
Yan Hua woke up to being thrown face first into mud and heard people cackling above him well he was used to that what he did not get was why he felt so tired ? wasn't he suppose to be in his hammock in his shack ? what was he doing here ? he got up the sun was blinding him he got up and looked up he was down a hill the grass was dead and and blackened brown there was a fog at his knees his red and black robes were damp with water he brushed up and looked up.
Above him two men were standing there sneering "Good bye you house dog" one sneered spitting on the ground before throwing a rock at him which hit him in the shoulder "Lady Liu says she hopes the hounds can bear your taste" they cackled before leaving.
Yan Hua stretched and looked around 'really outdid themselves' Yan Hua thought amused as he looked around they were all dead and bent well that looked ominous what a good way to start his week Yan Hua took his sword Lanluo and started walking.
He would not describe it as being worse looking than Lady Liu's face that was disastrously horrible. as he walked he heard people walking as he turned the path he heard screaming he backed away so fast Yan Hua hit a branch and fell over what a nice day really.
well there were two women with baskets on their heads.
"I'm sorry i am so sorry" one of the women ran up and the other one followed helping him up. they saw his robes and gaped in amazement "don't kid yourselves" Yan Hua said reading their expressions as he had learned so well they do nearly nothing"
Yan Hua was the bastard son of Lord Liu from a maid very classic he had Ebony black hair and see green eyes paired with a very pretty handsome face well for all his looks his reputation was the opposite he was a trouble maker and a dog Lady Liu a dumb witted woman hated him for being a bastard and the villagers in Xu yang city hated him for being a bad omen so yes physical violence was normal he lived in a shack in the east wing and ate leftovers with the dogs.
every year on the start the people of the town would tie him up on a pole and use him as a punching bag and his cultivation was bad yet he was clever and brilliant.
so not all bad " we thought you were a cursed ghost" the other woman
