828 Punishing Evil and Praising Good (1/2)
In the Taihang Mountains, the strongest sect was undoubtedly the Baili Sect. This sect had been ranked amongst the martial art circle's Ten Great Sects for two consecutive rounds and was ranked fifth at that. There were many experts in the Baili Sect, far more than the Five Tigers Sect could compare with. The Baili Sect had always been very overbearing when going about their matters in the Taihang Mountains.
Leaving aside other matters, the area five hundred kilometers around the Baili Sect was claimed by them. At most, other sects could only claim one hundred kilometers.
Wang Qian saw that this person was wearing the clothes of the Baili Sect. He was also suspicious and did not look like a good person. Her expression turned ugly.
”From what you are wearing, how can you be a relative of an elder? Are you trying to scare me off?” the nasty youth said with a cold laugh. From their clothing, he could tell that these two women were the lowest level disciples of their sect. Would an elder's daughter come out to gather medicinal herbs? What a joke.
”It's up to you whether you believe it or not. You'd better not do anything funny.” Wang Qian's face was tense. She dragged Wan'er away and slowly stepped back. She could tell that this youth's cultivation was far higher than theirs. Even if the two of them were to join forces, they would most likely not be a match for him.
In reality, Wan'er's father was indeed an elder of the Five Tigers Sect. However, that was many years ago. Wan'er was different from her. She was an inner disciple that inherited the Five Tigers Sect line. It was just that her family had strained circumstances and went through a huge shift, meaning that she ended up in such a predicament.
”I don't care who you are. In the Taihang Mountains, there is no one that I, Cheng Shuangjiang, don't dare to touch. The two of you had better know who you are dealing with. Don't force me to be rough on you two. Hehe, I am a person that has a tender heart for the fair sex. As long as you listen to me obediently, not only will I not harm you, I will instead give you many benefits.”
Cheng Shuangjiang laughed as he looked at Wan'er and Wang Qian. It was as though he wanted to strip them both naked with just his gaze. In order to hone him, his grandfather had thrown him into this wilderness. He had not touched a woman in a month.
Now that he had encountered two such delicate beauties in the wilderness, how could he hold back any longer? It was practically a heaven-sent opportunity.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of both Wang Qian and Wan'er changed drastically. It turned out that this person was Cheng Shuangjiang.
Cheng Shuangjiang was notorious far and wide. Everyone in the Taihang Mountains knew his vile name. This person was wretched and regularly committed despicable acts. The mountain folk all treated him as a venomous snake. No one wanted to approach him. His grandfather was a Sect Grand Elder of the Baili Sect. He was an existence that had authority, status, and ability that was at the pinnacle. He also rather pampered this grandson of his. No matter what trouble Cheng Shuangjiang caused, he would always defend him.
Many people in the Taihang Mountains could not wait for Cheng Shuangjiang to die a painful death, but he always was beyond the arm of the law. After all, touching him was like offending his grandfather, Cheng Zongping. With a Sect Grand Elder with later stage Embryonic Breathing Realm cultivation backing Cheng Shuangjiang, anyone who wanted to touch him had to think twice.
Wang Qian felt terror well up inside. They were just the most ordinary disciples in the Five Tigers Sect. Even if Cheng Shuangjiang killed them both, the Five Tigers Sect would not stand up for them. After all, they were just insignificant ordinary disciples, and Cheng Shuangjiang was the Baili Sect's Sect Grand Elder's own grandson.
”Wan'er, run.” Wang Qian realized the severity of the situation. She dragged Wan'er with her and began to run.
”The two of you are of the Regulated Breathing Realm. Did you think that you could escape me?” Cheng Shuangjiang laughed lustfully. His silhouette leaped up like an eagle spreading its wings and furiously pouncing on two chicks frantically escaping.
Although Cheng Shuangjiang did all sorts of evil deeds and did not engage in honest work, his grandfather, Cheng Zongping, had been very strict regarding his practice. He would be punished at the slightest evidence of a slowing down of his progress. The reason he had appeared in the wilderness was that he had been sent by his grandfather to practice here. He could only return when he reached his goal.
No one thought that even when punished, the stray thoughts in this person's mind would never cease.
Because of his grandfather cultivating him, Cheng Shuangjiang's cultivation was high. In his early twenties, he was already at the beginning stage of the Sea of Qi Realm. Although in the martial art circle, he could not be considered a genius, among the disciples of the Baili Sect, he was considered among the elite.
With a swoop, his silhouette leaped across the trees and he caught up with Wang Qian and Wan'er who were escaping. He reached out and grabbed hold of Wang Qian's shoulder. He applied force slightly, and Wang Qian's entire person was immediately sent flying out, furiously crashing into a large tree.
Ah! Wang Qian's face was pale. She had a look of pain on her face. The crash had nearly knocked her unconscious.
”Aiya, Sister Wang Qian.”
Wan'er, who was dashing forward with all her might, realized that Wang Qian had been caught. She paused and turned around to look at Wang Qian. Her face was as pale as a sheet.
”Wan'er, run.” A sense of fear welled up in Wang Qian's heart. She crawled up from the ground, intending to stop Cheng Shuangjiang from chasing Wan'er. Right now, in Wang Qian's eyes, Cheng Shuangjiang was far scarier than any ghost. She was well aware of what would happen to them if they fell into his hands.
”Humph, neither of you beauties are going anywhere.”
Cheng Shuangjiang softly snorted. He flipped his wrist and sent out a palm strike from a distance, sending Wang Qian flying from the impact. His own person appeared behind Wan'er in a few dashes.
Wan'er was completely stunned. She had never encountered such a thing. She was scared stiff, standing on her spot trembling. Cheng Shuangjiang's nasty smile was like a ferocious beast intending to eat her in one bite.
