Chapter 1049: The Feeble Yao Qian

Yao Qian had a second identity. She was Elder Yao's granddaughter. Elder Yao had always been looked highly upon by Xiang Yangzhan, and his status in the sect was high. Even after Di Batian took over the sect, he still treated Elder Yao with respect. After all, Elder Yao's skills with herb refining were extremely rare and valuable.

Over the years, Yao Qian had grown into a woman much prettier than before. However, she still had the same feeble constitution. Xiang Shaoyun remembered that Elder Yao once said that Yao Qian was born with innate severed meridians. She wasn't supposed to live past 18. Now that she had lived past 18, it was clear just how much work Elder Yao had put into helping her all these years.

Xiang Shaoyun had the urge to give her a warm hug, but he knew that he couldn't. Since Yao Qian was here praying for him, it was clear that she still saw him as a young master, and it greatly moved him.

When Yao Qian failed to find anyone around her, she calmed down and prepared to leave.

This was a sensitive period of time in the sect. Even her grandfather had been placed under house arrest. She couldn't afford to create trouble. Just as she was about to leave, several people appeared noiselessly on the peak. The moment Xiang Shaoyun saw them, his killing intent rose.

The leader of the group was Di Chenggong, Di Batian's fifth son. His name meant success, but as a person, he was quite a failure. Of Di Batian's nine sons, Di Lin was without a doubt the most talented one. As for the worst of them, it was this Di Chenggong. Due to his bad talent in cultivation, he fell far behind his siblings. Because of that, he completely gave up on himself, and he idled about, doing nothing productive. In fact, some of Xiang Shaoyun's bad habits from the past had come from him.

Di Chenggong currently looked like he had his entire life force emptied by excessive alcohol consumption and carnal indulgence. He couldn't even walk straight, and he did not look the slightest bit like a cultivator.

Following him were his henchmen in charge of protecting him. Without them by his side, he would have long been killed due to his pervertedness.

Di Chenggong currently had his sights on Yao Qian, and she was aware he harbored ill intentions toward her. After meekly greeting him, she hurried off.

Unfortunately, she was the reason he had come to Shaoyun Peak. He stopped her in her path and smiled, saying, "Sister Qian, why are you in such a rush? Come have a chat with me."

He reached out for her arm, but fortunately, she was able to swiftly move away.

She aimed to escape before doing anything else. If she stayed, she would definitely fall victim to him. In the past, Di Chenggong hadn't dared to be so audacious with her. Now that her grandfather was arrested, he had gained the courage to act unbridled toward her.

When Di Chenggong saw that Yao Qian was about to escape, he loudly commanded, "Get her!"

At his command, his henchmen stopped Yao Qian.

"Did you not hear what the fifth young master just said?" asked one of them.

"Let me go!" Yao Qian yelled.

She became anxious at the thought that she wouldn't be able to escape this time.

"You won't be able to escape today. Just stay here with this young master obediently, or nothing good will happen to your grandfather," said Di Chenggong with a sneer.

He swept his gaze all over Yao Qian's delicate body as a raging flame rose in his heart. He pounced on her, trying to defile her right there in the open. Yao Qian paled from fear. She collapsed onto the ground after a stagger, and she started screeching.

"Keep shouting. Nothing will change. You will be mine today," said Di Chenggong in excitement.

Xiang Shaoyun watched on coldly, rage simmering in his heart. What a beast, Xiang Shaoyun cursed inwardly as he chanted the Nether Dragon Soul Curse. Numerous incorporeal symbols rushed toward Di Chenggong.

Di Chenggong was no longer a young man. Relying on the sect's resources, he had forcefully reached the Skysoar Realm. In Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, this level of cultivation was no different than a bug. Xiang Shaoyun could easily turn someone like him into his puppet.

And as Di Chenggong was about to reach Yao Qian, his weak soul instantly fell under Xiang Shaoyun's control. He clutched his own head and started wailing, assaulted by an intense pain that tormented his very soul. His henchmen were given a fright.

"Fifth young master, how are you?" asked the henchmen as they hurriedly surrounded him.

Instead of answering, Di Chenggong started knocking his head onto the ground. Blood flowed, and he continued wailing like a pig being slaughtered. His wails were so miserable the people present shivered just listening to him.

Yao Qian herself was greatly frightened. She quickly retreated and distanced herself from Di Chenggong.

"Witch, you must have done something to the fifth young master. You're under arrest as we decide what to do with you," said one of the henchmen as he reached for Yao Qian.

But before he could touch her, Di Chenggong stopped shouting. He raised his head and cursed, "Bastard, get back here. This has nothing to do with Sister Qian."

The henchman instantly pulled his hand back, no longer daring to make any moves against Yao Qian.

"I'm sorry, Sister Qian. I don't know what got into me earlier. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me," said Di Chenggong as he started slapping his own face repeatedly, stunning Yao Qian and all the henchmen.

This was the very first time they had ever seen their fifth young master slapping himself and apologizing.

"What are you waiting for? Apologize to Sister Qian! Do you want to die?" demanded Di Chenggong.

The henchmen quickly did as told, "Sorry, Miss Qian."

"You aren't even sincere. You have to do this. Slap your own faces like me and stay on your knees until Sister Qian forgives you," said Di Chenggong.

The henchmen paled. But since even their master was doing it, they did not dare to disobey. And thus, a unique scene appeared, a scene where the henchmen slapped themselves repeatedly, a scene that greatly improved Xiang Shaoyun's mood.

On the other hand, Yao Qian was in complete confusion. She did not dare to stay and think; she quickly spun around and fled.

After running for a bit, she stopped and thought, I clearly heard someone calling me earlier. That voice definitely doesn't belong to the fifth young master or anyone in his group. Who was that person?

After thinking about it for a bit, the face of a young man surfaced in her mind. Her face flushed as she muttered, "Is the young master back?"

She did not dare to spend too much time there and hurriedly continued fleeing. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even be bothered to waste more time on Di Chenggong and his henchmen. He noiselessly followed Yao Qian, as he was curious about Elder Yao's current situation.
