Transmigrated Enhancement Specialists - Chapter 58
The Elder’s cries of pain astonished the disciples who immediately stared at him in anger and fury. The bastard even “fell” to the ground on his butt and repeatedly coughed mouthfuls of blood amidst the angered gazes of the crowd as dozens of aggrieved and indignant voices paired with curses rang out and filled the air.
“The fuck? How dare this shameless bastard pretend to be injured!”
“What the hell?! He’s accusing us of injuring him and rebellion? This won’t do! Brothers, come forward, let’s beat this bastard up and show him the consequences of being so shameless and scheming!”
Most disciples were riled up as they fiercely stood up and started walking towards the Elder’s direction in fury. Since the Elder pretended that he was injured. It would probably better for them to beat him up so that his injuries would look more realistic.
Jiang Tian stared in amusement at the Elder on the ground whose expression looked completely pale and unhealthy. He expected that the Elder would unleash some schemes against him but he never thought that it would be this unique and shameless. Musing in thoughts, Jiang Tian decided something as he said towards the approaching disciples.
“All of you, calm down. If you did hit this shameless and bastard Elder right here, then his accusation of our rebellion would come true! Think about your decisions more and decide the best action to take, this Junior Brother of yours won’t hold you guys back…” Jiang Tian blurted out loud and those who heard his word stiffened up and thought.
If they really did attack the Elder, that would mean that his accusation of their rebellion would become true! Gnashing their teeth in indignance, the disciples started cursing one after another.
“This fucking yankee doodle dandy shite! How dare you embezzle the contribution points that we rightfully deserve! Don’t you know how the word shame is spelled?!”
“Nah, senile old men like him are desperate for cultivation improvements, after all, they want to live longer so they can continue taking advantage of female disciples. Hmmmph! In the end, he’s just a horny bastard!”
“Hah! Does that thing under his belt still working though? With his age, I bet his body stinks like the earth and his thing should look like a squirming earthworm, I bet it can’t even enter the entrance!”
“Hahaha, that’s indeed the case, brother. Such an old bastard actually still has some designs for fresh and young meat, it’s just the same as a frog wanting to eat swan meat!”
Even the female disciples who normally acted so reserved and composed revealed disgusted and disdaining expressions towards the Elder who hung his head low in shame. Even though his face was as thick as a city’s wall, he still felt ashamed about his actions and angered by the curses of these disciples. Nevertheless, he never relented and just sat there with a single thought in his mind.
Endure! I just have to endure this humiliation until the Elder from the Main Residence arrives!
The round of curses never ended and even Jiang Tian who saw countless scenarios within his lifetime couldn’t help but feel admiration towards the thickness of the Elder’s face. Even he, the dignified Ghost Emperor who never cared about what others thought of him would dig a hole and bury himself out of embarrassment if he was in the Elder’s situation!
Meanwhile back at the Main Residence of the Xia Clan. Elder Xia Dong from the Discipline Hall suddenly shook amidst his meditation. In front of him floated a fire filled with blurry images and the sound of an Elder’s miserable voice.
“AAAH! HELP! The disciples from the Recovery and Enhancement Team are rebelling!”
Fiercely standing up with a darkened expression. Xia Dong took quite a moment to calm himself down, adjusting his robes, he mumbled amidst his ragged breathing,
“How dare… How dare they rebel and stand up against the Elder that I personally assigned!”
Rotating his cultivation base, he dashed outside and leaped on tree branches after tree branches, heading for the direction of the Recovery and Enhancement Team. His movement looked so fast that he was barely visible to the naked eye and impossible to track.
In merely under half an hour, Xia Dong arrived at the location of the Enhancement and Recovery Team. Fiercely landing on the ground, the earth itself trembled as Xia Dong appeared! His darkened and angered expression trembled the hearts of the disciples who slowly shrunk back behind their Junior brother, Jiang Tian.
Xia Lei who looked visibly concerned for his Junior brother’s safety held himself back. He knew that he could do nothing to help Jiang Tian and if he did intervened, he would just become an excessive baggage for him. Knowing the scheme that Jiang Tian told him, Xia Lei was confident that Jiang Tian would succeed, the only question was how far these Elders were willing to go against his Junior brother.
“So these are the rebelling disciples of the Xia Clan?” Xia Dong swept his gaze towards the disciples and every disciple whom he stared at subconsciously shivered in fear as their knees gave out. Apart from being the leader of the Discipline Hall, Xia Dong also had another title which made him the perfect candidate as the Discipline Hal’s Leader.
“T-T-That’s Elder Xia Dong, the Hall Chief of the Discipline Hall! Apart from that, he also has another title. Back then when he still wasn’t an Elder of the Xia Clan, he was known as the Fierce Tyrant of the East! He terrorized everyone from the East back then to the extent that the Grand Elder himself descended and subdued him, in exchange of sparing his life, Elder Xia Dong became the Hall Chief of the Discipline Hall!”
A scholarly disciple that knew too much about history blurted out loud, astonishing those around him as another disciple said with a bitter smile on his lips.
“That bookworm attitude of yours is finally proving useful… That’s indeed the case, additionally, those disciples that unfortunately fell on his hands either became crippled or severely injured to the extent that they could never make a breakthrough in their life…”
Each and every disciple who heard their words became sullen and hopeless. Elder Xia Dong whose heightened senses caught their discussion turned to look at them and pointed at the two disciples.
“Since the two of you have obviously studied about my past, you two will be spared of the harsh punishment of rebellion. You two will instead become my medicine apprentices…” Elder Xia Dong lightly smiled and the two disciples wanted to speak up. But before they could do so, the latter’s eyes flashed with a light of warning that stiffened their bodies into frozen statues.
All this while, Jiang Tian merely stood there with his arms crossed together. Looking all casual and nonchalant. His attitude and mood that contrasted his fellow disciple caught the attention of Xia Dong who said in a fierce tone.
“Looking at you, you seem to be the leader of this uprising. Come with me and receive your rightful punishment, those that dared to rebel against the Xia Clan shall never escape my hands…” Elder Xia Dong declared and the disciples’ expressions went pale.
The reaction of the disciples around him reinforced Xia Dong’s idea that Jiang Tian was the leader of the rebellion. Smiling viciously, he approached Jiang Tian’s vicinity and glanced at the “miserable elder” and said.
“I”m sorry for the late arrival, Elder Jian. Here is a medicinal pill for your injuries. How dare these bunch of brats attacked you together when you were just doing your job!” Elder Xia Dong hurled a jade bottle at Xia Jian’s direction and the latter caught it with a smile.
“As for you, the leader of the rebellion. You will come with me and undergo a trial pertaining to your crimes…” Elder Xia Dong glanced behind at the disciples and said, “Don’t ever think that you brats will be spared from the same fate as this little brat, I want all of you to sit down and think of the consequences of your actions…”
He menacingly said before departing with Elder Xia Jian and Jiang Tian in tow, leaving the distraught disciples in the middle of despair and hopelessness. Arriving at the Main Residence of the Xia Clan, precisely inside the Discipline Hall. Xia Dong tied Jiang Tian up in the air and stared at his coolly expression with a smirk of amusement.
Elder Xia Jiang who stood behind him wanted to speak up about Jiang Tian’s circumstances but before he could. Xia Dong suddenly clenched his fists and punched powerfully at Jiang Tian’s abdomen. The latter spat a mouthful of blood but never let a moan of pain out of his mouth.
“Hooo, you’re quite tenacious and brave. As expected of someone that dared to stage a rebellion against the Xia Clan, to tell you the truth. I have tortured so many disciples and they never lasted a single attack before begging for mercy and pleading for their life… Someone like you is such a rare occurrence that I can’t help but slowly break you down…”
Xia Dong brought Jiang Tian’s chin closer and spoke right before his face. His hot and stinky breath struck Jiang Tian’s nose who replied in a nonchalant and casual manner, as if he was never punched nor injured in the first place.
“Old bastard, if you want to talk, can you at least take a step back? Your breath stinks like sewer that it’s worse than your so-called torture methods. If you really want to torture and break me, your breath would do better than inflicting me pain…”
Elder Xia Dong who never experienced such a humiliation exploded in extreme anger in that instant. Clenching both of his fists, he struck Jiang Tian’s body and maliciously targeted his meridians, aiming to slowly cripple and turn him into a mortal.
Elder Xia Jian shivered in each time he felt the crunchy sound of Jiang Tian’s bones breaking within his body. Staring at the youth’s frail and delicate body floating in the air, he couldn’t help but admire Jiang Tian’s tenacity. For all this while, the youngster never moaned nor grunted in pain.
“I admit that you’re indeed tenacious… But let’s see how well you’ll fare when you swallow one of this thing…” Elder Xia Dong took a jade bottle from his Spatial Ring. The contents of the jade bottle made Elder Xia Jian’s eyes widen in shock as he exclaimed from behind.
“Hall Chief! That’s…”
“Shut up! Don’t fucking dictate me to do whatever I want! In fact, will the Xia Clan even care about such a frail and talentless disciple that even dared to rebel against them? Not, right? So why are you acting so cowardly for?!” Elder Xia Dong fiercely scolded and Elder Xia Jian that wanted to tell him about Jiang Tian’s circumstances stiffened. Smiling viciously at Elder Xia Dong’s back, he kept his silence and stared at him in schadenfreude.
“You old fucking stinky bones, let’s see how well you’ll fare off when you find out about this kid’s background…” Elder Xia Jian secretly smirked before leaving the vicinity.
Holding the bottle in the air, Xia Dong blurted out in a menacing voice. His expression filled with complete excitement about Jiang Tian’s reaction when exposed to such a malicious insect.
“Kid, do you know something about this slug? According to the poison master whom I bought this jade bottle from, this Slug is called the Heart and Lung Devourer. Once swallowed, it will pierce through your lung and slowly absorb it, making sure that you’ll suffer from asphyxiation before piercing your heart, ensuring certain death…”
Elder Xia Dong slowly removed that was as small as an index finger and held it between his index and thumb finger. Opening Jiang Tian’s mouth with his other hand, he slowly placed the slug inside Jiang Tian’s mouth as the latter continued in a venomous voice.
“You death is definitely certain but it won’t arrive so fast… Throughout the entire ordeal, you will suffer tremendous pain… Aaaah, I can’t help but anticipate your reaction and your hoarse voice as you beg for the blissfulness of death…”
Elder Xia Dong dropped the Heart and Lung Devourer Slug inside his mouth and guided the slug into Jiang Tian’s stomach with his palms. The latter remained entirely calm and never voiced out any pleads for mercy. He just stared right into Xia Dong’s eyes. Amusement visible within his pupils.
Grimly smiling, Xia Dong coldly snorted and left the torture room, awaiting Jiang Tian’s scream of intense pain and despair. But inside the torture room was a scene that Xia Dong never expected. Instead of screaming in pain, Jiang Tian lightly smiled on his face and even chuckled. Staring right into the ceiling, a familiar aura slowly approached, intensifying the smirk on his face.
Arriving above the airspace of the Discipline Hall was the Grand Elder Xia Guanyu and his daughter Xia Bingyue! Their rotated cultivation bases sent everyone kneeling on the ground. Descending from the skies, the two of them were met and acknowleged by Xia Dong who clasped his hands together in an excited manner.
“Hall Chief Xia Dong of the Discipline Hall greets the Grand Elder and Core Disciple Xia Bingyue!”
