Xiang Xiaofang was born as a prince for a large nation under the influence of the high goddess Tiandi. This nation liked martial arts more than immortal cultivation and martial artists have high status in the nation. Xiang Xiaofang had great, almost unparalleled talent as a martial artist and he also had a great future ahead.

But his father, the current ruler of the nation was weak and incompetent. Not only was his strength insignificant but he was also very lustful and selfish. So, during his reign, the nation hit rock bottom in everything.

So, naturally a revolt occurred and many leaders rose up to overthrow the corrupted ruler. Even though Xiang Xiaofang had incredible potential, he needed time for his strength to grow. But at the time of the revolt he was only 7 years old.

Xiaofang's father and his mother both were killed. His mother's family had a military background and she used the best of he family's soldiers to ensure Xiaofang's safety. So he was able to leave the nation with his life intact and started to live with one of the most trusted soldiers of his mother's family.

He considered that man to be his real father and respected him dearly. So when he was killed right before his eyes by the soldiers of the new dynasty, he felt like he would die of anger. Now his age was 13 and he had become quite a bit stronger than before and was able to kill all the soldiers who attacked them. But as he was not overwhelmingly stronger than the soldiers, he was not able to save the life of the soldier who took care of him for the last few years.

After his identity as the former prince was revealed, many more people came after his head. So, Xiang Xiaofang's life was always in danger. For that reason he was forced to leave the nation in order to save his life.

After leaving his previous home nation, Xiaofang's life changed for good. The order of the neighbouring nation was stable and he was able to live there safely for over 40 years. That was more than enough talent for his blooming talent to turn into a giant tree.

Not only that but he also got his hands on a fortuitous encounter. In that nation a divine trial domain appeared which was searching for an inheritor to a dangerous divine ability. In that trial he got the inheritance for an ability called "Heavenly Malversation" from the High Goddess of Malevolent Corruption, Sophianiya. Then he was able to reach the legendary Saint rank with this skill.

After becoming a saint, Xiang Xiaofang finally had the ability to take his revenge on the new dynasty who destroyed his life. So, having superb confidence in his strength, Xiang Xiaofang charged straight at the new dynasty to destroy them.

At first it went alright and he was able to kill off several key figures of the nation. But then the situation suddenly changed. An old man with a magnificent white beard appeared from the royal castle and he threw a fiery dragon toward Xiaofang.

As a martial artist specialised in combat against other martial artists, Xiaofang's resistance to magic was very low. So after getting a surprised attack from the immortal cultivator he was caught off guard and took the fore dragon head on.

The result was as expected, Xiaofang took a lot of damage from that single attack. Then he and that unfamiliar immortal saint started to fight. While fighting Xiaofang noticed that the immortal saint was not much higher level than him but this person was very experienced and he was keeping his distance from Xiaofang so he was unable to do any notable damage.

Soon Xiaofang was on the verge of losing. His initial injuries were very serious and those injuries just got worse as the battle went on. So Xiaofang decided to take some serious risks. At first he thought that he would be able to take his revenge without risking his life, but now he understood that he was just overconfident.

But he could not just give up after coming so far and he went all out. He used the forbidden ability that he got and forcefully closed the distance between him and his opponent.

Getting flustered the immortal saint hurriedly used a skill to surround himself with 9 fire dragons. But Xiaofang did not stop his charge and plunged straight into the fire. He focused all his qi on his fists and punched through the fire using it.

When his fist hit the fire, due to the over concentration of qi, it was able to break through the fire dragon easily. Then his fist connected the immortal sage's head, the head popped like a watermelon and that person died instantly.

But, even though Xiang Xiaofang's fist was able to break through the fire dragon and saved the upper part of his body from the burn, the lower part, which did not have the protection of the qi got badly burned. This last attack was done by the immortal saint with his life on the line so it was extremely strong. And for that reason Xiang Xiaofang lost both of his legs.

Even without a leg an S ranker was incredibly strong and the new dynasty did not have anymore stronger powerhouses, he was able to complete his revenge even after losing his lower body parts.

But after finishing his revenge and becoming a crippled person without a leg, he felt lost. He did not know what to do anymore. He almost became like a living corpse. He started to maintain his lifestyle by killing criminals and selling their simpler items in the market.

...

And Elena found that same Xiang Xiaofang in this small city. He had been going from one place to another in a random order. And Elena found him to be very pitiful. She herself was an avenger and seeing a fellow successful avenger in this state was not very pleasant.

So she went to Xiaofang's stall and asked -

"Good sir, I wish to buy everything in your stall for a good price. But in exchange I want you to give me some of your time."

Xiang Xiaofang looked up at Elena. His eyes were empty without any emotion. He just looked blankly at her for a moment before some emotion returned to his eyes. Elena showed him her real appearance. Her real appearance was so beautiful that even someone like Xiang Xiaofang, who had not felt anything for a long time felt astonished.

To such a dumbstruck Xiang Xiaofang Elena smiled very sweetly and gave him her hand for him to stand up. In his bewildered state, Xiaofang accepted her kind hands and grasped it. Elena pulled him up and took him to a high end restaurant. She did not forget to store all the things of the stall to her inventory.

...

Elena specially chose this restaurant because it had private rooms. The talk that she was going to have with Xiaofang would be a very private one. So having an audience was not a good thing.

Elena ordered a lot of food and drinks. She also ordered all the types of liquors that this shop had to offer. Xiaofang needed some alcohol in his system to make his weary mind relax.

"I'm Elena, a traveller from a distance land. I came to these lands to experience a new culture. Nice to meet you."

Seeing Elena introducing herself subconsciously Xiaofang also started to introduce himself. Actually Elena also cast a Relax Mind spell to make him calm down a bit.

"Umm... I'm Xiang Xiaofang. A vagabond."

"That's a very underestimated way to introduce yourself. Hmm. Okay, let me introduce myself once again. I'm Elena, an avenger who had successfully gotten her revenge after a lot of sacrifices. Very nice to meet you, a fellow comrade."

Xiang Xiaofang's eyes widened a bit in astonishment. He subconsciously spoke up again -

"I'm Xiang Xiaofang, someone who had avenged his mother and foster father's deaths but had also lost his life's purpose after that. Thank you for having me."

"You have completed your revenge. That's not the end of your journey but actually the beginning of it. Did you not have any dreams in your childhood ?"

Hearing Elena, Xiang Xiaofang remembered many things from his childhood. He had forgotten all those memories in his sadness, rage and despair. But now when Elena asked him this, he suddenly remembered it once again. He smiled a little bit on remembrance and said -

"I was born as a prince of a nation and my father was a terrible Terrible ruler. So I always wanted to end his reign and dreamed of becoming a good and just ruler. But now with my one leg completely crippled and another one also damaged, I can never become a king. I will not be a good ruler anyway as I did not learn anything a ruler should learn except how to fight."

"Oh, that's marvelous dream. Let's see if it can be realised."

Saying so Elena smiled slightly and Xiang Xiaofang's body suddenly lit up.
