Despair of Shen Luo.

Sometime he was crying, sometime he was laughing and sometime he was staring blankly at the ceiling. 

His mental fortitude was broken, Something shocked him so much that it made his Dao heart collapse, Li Shenrong understood.

Suddenly a group of people rushed in, all of them wore lite blue formal attire. They were the city guards from the capital. Upon entering the tavern, they looked around arrogantly. 

"Look it's the city guards. It seems someone is in trouble." People whispered to each other. 

The leader of the group was a middle aged man, probably in his thirties. He had a ferocious aura with a long scar stretching across his face. His whole body was exuding peak Spirit accumulation aura. The guards behind him were either Initial bone tempering realm or peak body strengthening realm. Considering the Blue Bird Kingdom's power, it was quite the lineup. Many people thought. 

Eventually the middle aged man's gaze fell on Shen Luo. A fierce light flashed across his face. 

"Little thief! So you were here? Come with me obediently or else i'll strip your daughter naked on the city street." He threatened with a cruel smile. 

Shen Luo was vacantly staring at the ceiling but suddenly he jolted after hearing the man's words. He showed an expression of as if he remembered something and panicked. "You scoundrel, you are lying. I don't have any daughter." Shen Luo cursed, his eyes were glowing with anger. 

The middle aged didn't get angry, instead he smiled. "Oh, Is that so? Then let's see." With that said he ordered the man beside him. "Bring her here." A sinister light flashed across his face. 

Few guards, dragged a thirteen year old little girl into the tavern under many people's gaze. 

"Since when did the city guards started acting so arrogantly?" Some people became dissatisfied and muttered. 

"Probably because of the unrest. Also, i've heard the guard captain has the backing of his older brother, who is a Royal guard of the palace. So, not many people dares to provoke him inside the capital." Someone who knew better, whispered. 

"No wonder he acts so arrogant. Such a pity for that little girl." Some older cultivator lamented. But, no one stood out to help, because they weren't willing to trouble themselves in this kind of matter without sufficient benefits. 

Seeing the little girl being dragged in, Shen Luo's face twisted in agony, his eyes turned red from hatred. 

Gritting his teeth, he spoke. "You…! Release her!" A fire burned inside his heart when he saw the daughter he loved dearly, in that state. 

"Don't worry, i haven't done anything to her yet." The guard captain looked at the girl with a lustful gaze while licking his lips.

"Boss, you should let us all have a taste of her later." One of the guard sain in a greedy voice. 

Seeing this, Shen Luo who was standing, unsheathed his sword and jumped. He wanted to kill that bastard with one swing. How dare he look at his daughter with lustful gaze. 

Li Shenrong was watching everything from the side with a cold gaze. A terrifying chill emanated from his eyes which could plunge the world into an icy storm. He didn't take action, he wanted to see what kind of decision Shen Luo would make. 

"Humph! Not knowing life from death." The guard captain was an experienced veteran, his cultivation was also stronger than Shen Luo. 

He moved slightly and punched out. Shen Luo's sword broke with a crisp sound as he flew backward. His body crashed against the tavern's furnitures, while blood spraying from his mouth non-stop. One punch, and the guard injured him severely. 

Seeing his ruthlessness, many people sucked in a cold breath of air. 

"I gave you a chance but you didn't take it. Watch how my boys plays with your daughter. After that i'll hang her naked on the city street." Guard captain spoke coldly. 

Shen Luo coughed a mouthful of blood as he weakly supported himself to stand again. 

Anger, hatred, self blame, desperation, weakness and helplessness. All kind of emotions assaulted him like plague. 

He stared at the guard captain like a fierce beast that craved for the raw blood and meat of the humans. But he could do nothing. 

"Those eyes, i don't like the way you are looking.

Capture him." He ordered with a bit of anger. The guards behind took action and suppressed Shen Luo on the spot. 

"Now the show begins." Guard captain laughed. Some people inside the tavern stayed behind to watch the show. They were eager to see what was going to happen. Those who couldn't bear to see the girl being defiled had left already.

"You will suffer heavenly retribution." Under the suppression of the guards, Shen Luo cursed in a weak voice. 

"Is that so? Let's see who will face retribution first, your daughter or me?" After that he signalled the guards. 

The guards behind gave a knowing smile, gazes full of lust and desire. 

They dragged the girl in-front of Shen Luo. Her eyes were vacant and lifeless as if she had suffered mental trauma. 

Drops of tears dripped down from Shen Luo's face. One could only imagine his pain he was in. 

"Ning'er forgive your father, okay? If there is a next life, I hope you will become the daughter of the King of Heaven or Lord of Immortals, so you will be protected. 

I couldn't protect your mother, my beloved. I couldn't protect you either. I deserve to die." He closed his eyes, ready to self explode. 

But the Guard captain sealed his cultivation, so he couldn't suicide either. 

"Noooooo, let me dieee…" He cried in a hoarse voice.

"Not so easy, before my boys finish with their plaything. You can't die, hahaha."

Just as the guards were about to tear of her tattered clothes, a lazy voice rang in their ears.

"He won't die, nor she will be defiled. But, i can guarantee that you will ask for death."

The guards frowned and looked at the speaker. It was a young man sitting in a corner, he wore a plain robe which covered his body completely. The young man slowly stood up as he put down the wine cup from his hand.

"Brat, do you know who we are? You dare to bluster without shame?" A guard spoke coldly.

Everyone's gaze fell over Li Shenrong.
