2 WHY DID THE HEAVEN’S WANT ME DEAD SO BAD?

​​​ A putrid smell off rotten flesh waked up a young boy of about 10 years old, with his short dark blue hair, he attempted to force himself to a sitting position.

"Urgh!" Liam shouted due to the sudden pain he felt in his abdomen.

'Even after death, it seems hell is my destination, the heavens are really hell bent on making my miserable life even more miserable' Liam had smile of acceptance plastered on his face as he slowly stood up despite the pain!

From afar, he heard the galloping of horses and sound of trumpets, he quickly run to the right and hide.

A battalion of soldiers appeared all wearing the same uniform, they carefully inspected the place and had a satisfied smile on their face.

It was at this moment that Liam had a shocking realization, 'This is no hell! I am still in the world of the living, now I can't even die?'

That seems to be the case as the blow he dealt to himself is enough to quickly kill a kid, it is very fatal to adults too talk less of kids!

He is nothing more than a Qi condensation realm Cultivator, the Qi condensation is only stronger than a meditation realm Cultivator, he is just slightly better than normal humans!

The leader of the team, a burly and tall man with a long scar on his face running diagonally from the top of his right eye to the left side of his face, he walk around the area, seemingly searching for something before standing before a tomb, just where Liam buried his parents!

"Ah lord Moonlight, where is your glory now? You are nothing but a rotten body along with your entire Moonlight clan while I am still living. I must say, the emperor has really made a great move this time but I am quite shocked that someone even buried your body. How good will it be if you were eating bit by bit by the vultures while your body continued to decay?"

"Whatever it might be, I will take your head as a trophy" He grinned.

"Commander Percival, we are yet to find Lord Moonlight's body!" A soldier shouted from afar.

"You don't have to search anymore, dig up this pitiful grave and bring back the head" Commander Percival ordered.

The soldier nodded and with the help of the soldiers, they quickly dug the grave!

Under Liam's terrified gaze, they grab his dead father by the hair and beheaded him without any emotion nor respect for the death!

Liam is shocked but he didn't let a sound escaped his mouth, his mother's words reverberated in his mind, Liam turn his head with extreme difficulty and ran with all his might in the opposite direction!

"I heard something, let's check!" A soldier shouted before running towards the direction that Liam just went.

"Leave no one alive!" Said Percival.

Liam heard the footsteps and run as fast as his little legs could carry him, the sound of the footstep gradually becoming louder!

'Dammit! If I couldn't die… they will torture me for eternity!' Liam thought, his breathing began to quicken!

He is starting to believe he that he is unable to die but that is more like a curse!

"There he is!" One of the shoulder shouted and pointed his saber at Liam!

"Fuck!" Liam cursed and urge his tired body to run once again!

"Hah! Hah! Hah!" His breathing came in rapid succession but he didn't stop running, one mistake he will make is letting himself to be caught by Percival's men!

Liam quickly look back and a shock expression appeared on his face, they are catching up! His heart that was full of guilt is now full of despair!

On top of all that, his body is growing extremely tired and he felt that he might collapse at any moment, the wound on his stomach is opening up as well!

'Does the heaven want me dead that bad?' His heart sunk at the thought of that.

'What did I do to deserve?' Instead of sadness, he felt anger and there is no way that he will fall, no matter what he will keep running till he collapse and cannot move anymore!

Tap! Tap!

Liam's dispirited eyes regained their shine, with adrenaline pumping, he frantically run towards a large glorious building!

That is the celestial blossom sect, a glorious and righteous sect! As long as he reach it, he will be saved!

"Hua!" With a loud shout to motivate himself, he ran with all his mind!

The guard is surprised when he saw a young 10 year old collapsing before the sect's gate and quickly move closer to help him.

Seeing this, the two soldiers pursuing him also stop and look at each other, "We cannot tell the commander that he has escaped" The first one said.

"Indeed, let's just say that we killed him!" The second guard hurriedly said.

"Shut up! We will say that after he is severely injured he fall off a cliff!" The first soldier said.

"Why?" The second asked with a confused look.

"What if he decided to ask for a corpse? How can we find a corpse when he is alive? Just let me do the talking when we go back!"
