Chapter 1110 - 1110 1096 Qiandu Xiangs Life and Death

Chapter 1110: Chapter 1096: Qiandu Xiang’s Life and Death Unknown Chapter 1110: Chapter 1096: Qiandu Xiang’s Life and Death Unknown Shao Hengjiang had once again located Wan Liyun, who was already stationed.

Upon seeing Shao Hengjiang return, Wan Liyun felt surprised, yet he spotted Ye Chen and Ouyang Yue as well.

Ye Chen glanced around. It had been days filled with anxiety and fear. He asked, “There hasn’t been an ambush, has there?”

Wan Liyun responded, “We’ve thoroughly scouted the surroundings. This isn’t a good place for an ambush. We’ve set up several lines of defense. If they come, we’ll detect them quickly. Importantly, we know they have roughly two thousand men. They can’t all press forward at once, so we should be able to handle them.”

“Then I can finally get a good night’s sleep.”

Seeing Shao Hengjiang, Wan Liyun said, “I heard that the leader was injured.”

“It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious.” Shao Hengjiang added, “I’ve contacted Nangong Yao, and they’ll be retreating back soon. We’ll discuss further once they arrive. You must ensure that nothing goes wrong, and we cannot afford to take any more losses.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve been preparing for two days. Let them come if they dare.”

“Good, I’ll leave things in your hands.” At this moment, all Shao Hengjiang needed to do was wait for the third brother and the others to arrive before they could properly plan how to deal with Pan Jianglong.

Nangong Yan’s mood had improved a lot. Although she still couldn’t accept it, she was no longer as agitated as before, and she wasn’t angry at Ye Chen anymore. As Ye Chen said, they only wanted the father and daughter to be well. Why blame them? However, she couldn’t simply take Shao Hengjiang’s words at face value. She had to ask her father face-to-face.

Ye Chen rested under a tree while the Black Demonic Spirit began to gripe incessantly, dreaming of the Sacred Spirit Stone, almost driving him mad with sighs.

Ye Chen, barely tolerating it, exclaimed, “Can you stop sighing like you’re giving birth? You’re making me start to worry too.”

“Ah, when can we find the Sacred Spirit Stone?” lamented the Black Demonic Spirit as he turned in the tree.

Hearing this, Ye Chen replied, “You think I don’t want to? I’m even more eager than you are.”

Nangong Yan, approaching from afar, said, “You’re worried about Guo Yuyun getting married, right? You want to hurry up and get things sorted so you can stop her!”

He counted on his fingers, realizing three months had passed. Continuing like this wasn’t a solution. He was somewhat clueless and indeed worried that the girl might actually marry someone else.

“Better she gets married.”

“Only now do I realize just how dark your heart is, you girl,” he said.

“You’re the one who’s dark,” retorted Nangong Yan.

“You still haven’t forgiven your father, I see,” observed Ye Chen.

“What can I do about it?”

“It’s not too bad, having one more father is good, right?”

Before noon, Nangong Yao arrived with a large group of men. Naturally, Nangong Yan was pleased to see her own father return with people, but they had lost a large number.

Ye Chen did not go over but instead sat under the tree, lost in thought.

As soon as Nangong Yao saw Shao Hengjiang, he shared what had happened up ahead, including how Qiandu Xiang’s men encountered a landslide and then floodwaters.

Ouyang Yue, who was listening nearby, asked, “Did Qiandu Xiang die?”

Guan Xun replied, “We can’t be sure at the moment, but they must have lost many men. We followed them and, facing the onrushing mudslide, lost around a hundred on our own, so their losses must be greater.”

Although Ouyang Yue was somewhat disappointed, seeing Jiu Hu walk over made her quite happy. She said, “Jiu Hu, you’re okay.”

“I’m fine. I was worried about you,” he replied.

“I’m fine too, don’t worry. I’m in good condition now,” she assured.

“What about our people?”

Jiu Hu gestured toward the rear.

Nangong Yao then said, “Pan Jianglong’s men dug a huge trap ahead, just waiting for us. Moving forward now would be walking into our own graves.”

Shao Hengjiang also agreed with this assessment.

Nangong Yao continued, “Let’s do as you said, let’s deal with Pan Jianglong first.”

It wasn’t long before Ouyang Yue walked over to Ye Chen and relayed the news they had brought.

Upon hearing this, the Black Demonic Spirit was stunned, asking, “Is Qiandu Xiang dead?” There was a noticeable worry in his voice.

“We still don’t know,” replied Ouyang Yue as she sat down beside Ye Chen.

The Black Demonic Spirit exclaimed in surprise, “If Qiandu Xiang is dead, buried alive, then are you still going to search for the Sacred Spirit Stone?”

Ouyang Yue looked over and said, “Yes, if they are dead, I won’t go looking for the Sacred Spirit Stone. I only wanted the stone for revenge. If Qiandu Xiang is dead, what do I need the Sacred Spirit Stone for?”

Hearing this, the Black Demonic Spirit panicked and said, “Sister, you can’t be like this. You need to think about us. We need the power of the Sacred Spirit Stone to restore our bodies.”

Ouyang Yue replied coldly, “Oh! Well, that’s your own problem.”

“Hey, how can you say that? Last time, when you were captured, we saved your life. Otherwise, that big guy would have taken you back to be his bride. You’ve got to have some conscience,” he argued.

“That was only because you were afraid that the Key Box on me would fall into Pan Jianglong’s hands, which is why you decided to save me,” claimed Ouyang Yue.

“You should have some conscience. Although we were indeed worried that you’d fall into Pan Jianglong’s hands, we did save you. You ought to feel some gratitude. You can’t just abandon us—that’s very immoral. Look at me, without a body, like a ghost, I’ve lived for so many years. You should take pity on us.”

“That depends on whether I’m willing to or not.”

Upon hearing this, Black Demonic Spirit became serious and glanced around.

Ouyang Yue also grew tense, feeling that his gaze was off, and said, “You’re not planning to steal it, are you?”

Black Demonic Spirit hurriedly said, “How could I? I would never do such a thing.” He conducted an analysis. Considering that the area was swarming with people from Iron Ten Thousand Island and Immortal Medicine Island, it would be very difficult to steal the Sacred Spirit Stone; of course, he quickly discarded the idea.

“If you dare, see how I’ll deal with you.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve decided to be a good person, so I wouldn’t do something like that,” said Black Demonic Spirit.

Ouyang Yue coldly said, “I can believe what others say, but yours, I cannot.”

With a smile, Black Demonic Spirit said, “Without the monkey’s permission, I wouldn’t dream of it.”

Ye Chen had been silent all along, as if reminiscing about something, forever reclining as if he could never get enough sleep.

Black Demonic Spirit asked, “You mean Qiandu Xiang might be dead, but not confirmed, right?”

“It’s not certain now, but I know many have been buried alive.”

Black Demonic Spirit grew anxious and said, “Even if not for our sake, you should consider this monkey. He could go mad at any moment; you should help him.”

Ouyang Yue glanced at Ye Chen, who still said nothing.

“Monkey, aren’t you going to speak up? They aren’t going to look for the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

Ye Chen said, “She hasn’t confirmed whether Qiandu Xiang is dead or not.” Although he wasn’t speaking, he was listening.

Nangong Yan found her father, and the two of them went to a tree.

Gathering her courage, Nangong Yan asked, “Father, am I truly Shao Hengjiang’s biological daughter?”

Nangong Yao exploded as if a bomb had gone off. Shao Hengjiang had sworn not to tell his daughter so soon, and said, “Did Shao Hengjiang tell you this?” Clearly angry, he was on the verge of erupting.

Nangong Yan shook her head and said, “No, the last time, I and Shao Hengjiang were ambushed. It was Qiandu Xiang who ambushed us; he told me this.”

“Qiandu Xiang knew about this?”

“Yes, don’t worry about that now,” Nangong Yan continued. “It seems I really am Shao Hengjiang’s daughter.”

Seeing there was no need to hide the matter any longer, Nangong Yao said, “Yes, you are indeed Shao Hengjiang’s daughter.”

“Father, can I trust your words?”

“Yes, you can. Ask whatever you want to know.”

“I heard from Shao Hengjiang that he and your master were in seclusion on the mountain back then, unaware even of your marriage to my mother—is that true?”

“He said that?”

“Yes, he did.”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Why didn’t you tell Shao Hengjiang about your marriage? Isn’t he your junior brother?”

Nangong Yao reminisced and said, “It was your mother who asked me to do it.”

“My mother asked you not to tell him? Did he hurt my mother?”

Nangong Yao said, “Your mother must have misunderstood, thinking he and our Senior Sister were involved, which is why she married me.”

“Knowing that it was a misunderstanding, why didn’t you tell my mother?” Nangong Yan was clearly angry.

Nangong Yao hurriedly said, “No, it wasn’t because of selfishness that I didn’t tell your mother. In fact, all of us misunderstood at the time. It was only discovered later.”

Nangong Yan looked at Nangong Yao skeptically.

Fearing he might lose his daughter, Nangong Yao raised his hand and swore, “I swear, I haven’t lied to you at all. It was never to win over your mother that I kept it from her.”

“How could such a big misunderstanding arise?”

Nangong Yao explained, “Back then, while researching the Sacred Heavenly Technique, Shao Hengjiang and our Senior Sister often spent time together. Moreover, our Senior Sister liked Shao Hengjiang and would not leave him alone. Shao Hengjiang, being a carefree person, didn’t take these things to heart. Your mother, being more introverted, mistook them for a couple. Later on, when she was pregnant, your grandparents pressured her, and in the end, she chose to marry me. But it’s all too late now.”

Nangong Yan was stunned; it seemed Shao Hengjiang hadn’t lied.

Nangong Yao went on to say, “If we hadn’t heeded your mother’s request and had told Shao Hengjiang the truth, perhaps none of us would have suffered so much, nor would all that followed have happened.”

“Did Shao Hengjiang become a pirate because of this affair?”

“Yes, it’s because of this affair that he left the Sacred Spirit Sect. Where he went, we didn’t know at first; only later did we find out he had become a pirate.”
