Chapter 406: A Sanctimonious Scoundrel

The Skeleton Gang had one gang leader, two deputy gang leaders, over 30 Emperor Realm elders, over 200 Kings, and almost 1,000 Transformation Realm cultivators in their ranks . This was a force comparable to regular tier-5 organizations . Yet in the Bloodsin City, they were among the weakest . From this one could see just how many experts there were in the Bloodsin City .

The Skeleton Gang had a high number of members, with all of them being scummy criminals . Because of that Xiang Shaoyun did not feel any guilt making a move against them . It would be much better to turn an organization like this into his tool than to allow them to continue whatever they were doing . Of course, he still couldn't step forth to formally assume the leadership position . For him pulling the strings behind the scenes was enough .  

Third day after the Han Clan sisters were kidnapped, Celestial Skeleton's room .

"Big sister, what do you think the Skeleton Gang people are trying to do? After kidnapping us, they are now ignoring us?" Han Xuewei asked .

Han Qianwei answered, "Perhaps they are only planning to use us to threaten our clan . "

That was of course not her true thought . She still remembered the perverted look on Celestial Skeleton’s face when he looked at them . It was unlikely he would spare them . She was only trying to comfort herself by saying those words .

"This damnable Skeleton Gang, I will destroy them after we're free," said Han Xuewei hatefully .

"You are better off focusing on thinking of a way to escape first," said Han Qianwei with a sigh .

"All our meridians have been sealed . How are we supposed to escape?" said Han Xuewei in a distressed manner .

Right this moment, the door opened, and a handsome young man strode in . The sisters blanked out slightly when they laid eyes on the young man . They had seen a lot of handsome young men . However, this particular young man was not only handsome and elegant . There was also something regal about him, as if he was born to rule . The ordinary clothes he was wearing couldn’t hide his grace . They were confused as to why a young man like him had appeared in the Skeleton Gang's headquarters .

This is definitely one of those sanctimonious scoundrels! they both concluded .

Who would the young man be if not Xiang Shaoyun? These days Badar was in charge of standing guard before Celestial Skeleton's residence . Nobody else was allowed to enter . Thus, Xiang Shaoyun was free to roam around the residence .

In any case, it wouldn't be long before he could openly show his face among the Skeleton Gang members as well . At that time, nobody would dare say anything against him .

Presently, he was trying to think of what to do with these sisters . From Celestial Skeleton he learned that the Han Clan was a top tier-5 organization from the Yu Province . They even had a Sovereign in their clan .

If the Han Clan was determined to destroy the Skeleton Gang, this would probably be their end . That was not something Xiang Shaoyun wished to see, so he had to do something about it .

Today was the first time he met the sisters . Both of them were extremely attractive, and each was beautiful in her own way . When he looked at them, he couldn’t help but to sigh inwardly, No wonder that old bastard lusted over them so badly .

"Who are you? If you know what's good for you, free us . Otherwise, the Han Clan will never spare your Skeleton Gang!" demanded Han Xuewei .

"Don't bother, sister . They have already killed our Han Clan members . It is pointless to say anything else to them," said Han Qianwei . She stared at Xiang Shaoyun and yelled, "Do whatever you want to us . We won't even blink . But we will definitely not spare you and will come for revenge even if we have to come back as ghosts!" 

With a smile on his face, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Hello, beauties . Don't be nervous . I'm here to save you . Do you trust me?"

The sisters were dumbstruck .

Soon, Han Xuewei reacted . Hope filled her face as she said, "Y-you're really here to save us?"

"Stop dreaming, sister . How is that possible?" Although Han Qianwei's cultivation base had been sealed, she could still see that Xiang Shaoyun was only a third-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator . How could someone like him save them?

Instead, she suspected that Xiang Shaoyun was probably a young master of the Skeleton Gang . Even so, she was still curious about him, especially when she looked into his clear, bright eyes . They were completely devoid of the lust other men would have when looking at them .

That realization confused her somewhat, making her wonder just what kind of person he was .

"Listen to me . I'm really here to save you!" Xiang Shaoyun reiterated . "I know you were both kidnapped by the Skeleton Gang, but we have already taken over the gang now . Since there is really no grudge between us, it is only natural for me to release both of you . But I need you to promise me one thing before I free you . "

The serious expression Xiang Shaoyun had was able to slightly convince the sisters to trust him .

Han Xuewei said, "So long as you can release us, we can agree to anything!"

But Han Qianwei still maintained her calm as she said, "Don't talk nonsense, sister . There are things we will never agree to, even if we have to die . "

Xiang Shaoyun shot Han Qianwei a glance and said, "Don't worry . I won't make you do anything damaging to your clan or yourself . I only need you to guarantee that you won’t take revenge on the Skeleton Gang upon returning to your clan . They are now my underlings . Making a move against them is the same as making a move against me . If you can't agree to that . . . well, I won't be able to show mercy either . "

Right after Xiang Shaoyun finished his sentence, an imposing aura surged out of him, making it clear he was not joking around . If they had to suffer the revenge of Han Clan even after freeing the sisters, they might as well keep the sisters . To accomplish something great, sacrifices were needed . At times one ought to be decisively ruthless if one wanted success .

The sisters could sense that Xiang Shaoyun wasn't boasting, but they did not know what to say . After all, the Han Clan's branch in the city had been purged . It was impossible for the clan to do nothing .

"Our branch here has been purged . The clan will definitely send someone here to investigate . We won't be able to hide it even if we want to," said Han Xuewei with a look of hesitation .

On the other hand, Han Qianwei spoke firmly, "So long as you can free us, I promise the Han Clan will not come for the Skeleton Gang . The Bloodsin City is filled with criminals . We can easily feed our clan some misinformation to hide the truth . "

Han Qianwei was much more shrewd compared to her sister . She knew very well staying alive should be their priority . They could always decide what to do next after getting their freedom .

"Good, but verbal promises are meaningless . Swallow this pill . If you leave the Skeleton Gang alone for one year, I will trust you . If not, both of you will suffer after one year," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly as he took out two pills .
