His parent stood there without any sign of grief or sorrow after seeing his appearance,he felt like his world was losing meaning slowy.
What broke the camel's back was when his mother finally opened her mouth and started yelling,spilling curses of all sort at him,why asking what gave him the guts to lay his hand on her son,it was like the world just collapsed on him the moment he heard the last part of her words,He spurted a mouthful of blood and almost passed out but he held himself as he was waiting,clinging unto his last hope,his father ,he wanted to see whether there was still someone who saw him as a human being and a family.
But that hope of his was soon shattered as soon as he saw his father cold and expressionless face,he was a quite sharp and smart guy so at this point he already guessed that his father wasn't going to give any positive answer
His guess was soon confirmed as his father finally spoke"when did you grow such wings to dare to slap your young master"his voice was so cold and slow,every single one of them hit jian ling like the chilly wind that blows during winter,it was so painful that he almost spurted out blood,but this time he refused to repeat the same action instead blood slowly slid down his eyes,yes,he was shedding blood,this blood wasn't just any normal blood but it contained his familial fellings,desires,and emotions.he was basically shedding out his humanity,this was a special state of cultivators that could be only heard about as legend as it wasn't something any body could just make happen.
At this point,there was a shock filled look on Lin di face as he had recognised the state,At this point he knew jian ling must die,as he would spell great trouble for the Lin clan if he was left alive,it was a really tricky situation as he had reasons for not being able to kill jian ling.
Finally an idea flash through his mind and he finally spoke"Go and put him into the forest of death,so he could reflect on his sins and train"He ordered a man on red cloak,he was the head guard of the Lin family.
The head guard on the other hand was shocked once he heard the order as he knew this was basically a death sentence,it was simply sending jian ling not only to his death but a painful one at that.
The forest of death was a forbidden land for the entire kingdom,and ony people at the path mending realm and above could survive there.
Jian ling wouldn't have been able to survive there even if he wasn't in his current state than to talk about now that he could basically be considered a cripple.
But he was a quite shrewd man and he knew that there was nothing he could do in this matter other than to obey the family head's command as his head would probably be serve do the tamed spiritual beasts of the lin family if he dared to refuse.
"Your will is my command"He immediately bowed his head and went on to carry out the order,he signaled to two men in similar cloaks to lift jian ling up and they hurriedly carried him to a carriage and then drove out of the Lin family compound heading to the forest.They took along with them a tamed beast as they didn't have the guts to enter the forest,They simply tied him loosely to the beast and then commanded the beast to run into the forest.They tied him loosely so that he will fall from the back of the beast while it ran in the forest,This was Lin gu's,The head guard way of showing sympathy towards him even though it wasn't really helpful as there were no wild beast in the forest and only magical beast and the weekest level of magical beast was the qi sensing stage just like humans,but in this forest the weekest beast would probably be in the late stage of the Condensation stage.
Jian ling knew it was probably over for him but at this point he had already lost a huge portion of his humanity and he could hardly feel any emotion.He just watched as everything played out with an expressionless face.
The beast soon ran quite deep into the forest before the rope finally loosed and he fell off
He crawled to a tree and laid his back there in other to rest and recover why leaving his safety to luck's hands as he knew with or without his strength, he was in a land of sure death and would probably be found by a magical beast sooner or later and probably be eaten alive
As a smart young man,he knew that at this point his strength wasn't of much use and only luck could play a crucial factor on how long he could survive for, so he simply didn't struggle and just let nature take it cause.
Soon he was fast at sleep as that will be the best way to heal since he no longer had his magical energy,He slept for three days why waking up from time to time.
If it were to be any normal human being, he or she would probably have died of thirst and hunger but as a former cultivator,his body was quite strong and he could go quite a few days without food.
But as he was injured the number of days he could live without food or water reduce drastically.At this point he had already regained his movement so he decided to go and find a river to drink from as his heart was throbbing seriously for water.
He was quite surprised that no spiritual beast had found him yet and he kept murmuring on how gold his luck was,it was quite shocking as when he was cultivating,his luck wasn't all that good but now that he became a cripple,it suddenly became so good.
