Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming
Chapter 53 - 53 53 Results

53: Chapter 53 Results 53: Chapter 53 Results Cai Xiangxiang thought she would be smashed to death, flung away ruthlessly by her senior brother.

Better to die than to follow these heartless and wicked senior brothers.

A bunch of ingrates, biting the hand that feeds them.

She hadn’t returned to visit her aging parents, and from then on, she would be separated from them by the realm of the living and the dead.

Her parents’ hopes for her had been realized, she only wished they would never learn of her death, the news would be too heartbreaking…

A poor peasant village.

A couple tilling the land seemed to feel something, a distant connection to the bustling areas of the Cultivation World.

Worry suddenly marred their peaceful faces.

Their daughter, taken by an Immortal of the Immortal Mountain to become a Disciple, had been missing for several years without a single message, leaving them uncertain if she was dead or alive.

Ah, but she was with an Immortal!

Surely, their daughter must have accumulated lifetimes of good fortune to have such an opportunity.

At her age, their daughter should be marrying, but as an Immortal Disciple, they didn’t know if she would ever come back to see them.

Daughter!

Your parents miss you, please find time to visit us!

Despite this remote and humble place, it is where you were born and raised.

No matter the achievements you gain out there, you should come back to visit, come back to the place of your childhood, come see your elderly parents!

This ordinary village was poor and backward.

Lacking oxen for farming, they relied solely on human labor, significantly reducing their efficiency.

What took others a single day could take them five or even a whole week.

…

Meeting Jiang Tang on the Road to Hell might be a good thing, to apologize to him.

I caused his downfall, I was too soft on our fellow Disciples.

I didn’t know they harbored such wolfish and dog-like hearts, a disgrace to the cultivation Sects.

She felt a force supporting her body and placing her somewhere safe.

Am I rescued?

But why do I still feel a trace of loss?

Perhaps it’s the guilt I have towards Jiang Tang.

I’m truly sorry Jiang Tang, I’m the one who led you to your doom.

You could have retreated safely with treasure in hand, and completed your mission, yet I caused you to be buried in the oasis.

Cai Xiangxiang opened her eyes and found herself standing on the flying ship of Su Chang’an, the Young Master of the Sword Sect.

The scattered people were being controlled by a burst of Su Chang’an’s Spiritual Power.

They tried to flee but couldn’t, helplessly suspended in the air, “Ah ah ah…,” their plight was both comic and deserving.

Huang Chen too was restrained, his gaze fixed fiercely on the flying ship.

Seeing his junior sister saved, he stared intently at her, hoping she wouldn’t confess and lead to their exposure.

Facing such a formidable enemy, they could collapse and likely meet their end today.

Today, their killing and plundering had failed, turned around by another’s sword.

Even their own Master from the Sect wouldn’t seek vengeance for them.

After all, he was from a minor Sect like the Mount Tai Sect, how would he dare to seek revenge against such a major Sect as the Sword Sect?

That would be like an egg smashing against a rock.

Huang Chen felt incredibly unlucky.

Coming out to gain experience and treasures had yielded nothing, and now he faced a mortal danger.

Controlled by the dashing Su Chang’an, Huang Chen had no time for admiration.

The enemy was after his life, how could he marvel at someone else’s superior Dao Arts?

“Scared, are you?

Tsk tsk, fearing now seems a bit late, doesn’t it?

Weren’t you running quite fast earlier?

Run, go on…”

Su Chang’an coldly looked at Huang Chen as if he were looking at a mere ant.

“Master Su, spare my life.

In what way have I offended you?

Please enlighten me, Master.”

“I’m going to ask you, and you’d better answer truthfully, or you know what the consequences will be.

You might just die here today, understand?

Have you seen Jiang Tang?

Tell the truth,”

“Master, I’ve reported before to you, we don’t know and have never met that person.”

“Still being stubborn, huh?

Let’s see if you can withstand the might of this Young Master, huh.”

After saying this, Su Chang’an waved his hand, and a bolt of Spiritual Power struck Huang Chen’s chest like lightning.

“Ah ah ah… painful, painful…”

Huang Chen felt his lungs and all his internal organs in agony, experiencing a pain that contorted his face.

He wanted to clasp the painful spot with his hands, but sadly, he was immobilized and could only endure the pain.

He was merely at the Pinnacle of the Physical Cultivation Stage; how could he withstand the strike of one at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Stage?

Su Chang’an had even held back, otherwise, that strike would have reduced Huang Chen to ashes.

“Senior brother…”

The junior brothers watched Su Chang’an with fear, seeing Huang Chen in such pain and knowing they couldn’t help.

They also realized they couldn’t save themselves now; this calamity was inescapable for them.

They felt Huang Chen’s agony as if it were their own, afraid of the pain…

“Are you going to tell the truth or not… if you don’t, you’re going to end up dead.”

Su Chang’an continued to look coldly at Huang Chen.

The once gentle Su Chang’an had become a tyrant in defending his friend, now seen as a devil in the eyes of Huang Chen and his brothers.

“Master…

I really don’t know, please spare me, it’s a misunderstanding!”

Until this moment, Huang Chen knew speaking or not, both meant death.

If he kept quiet, he might be spared, but speaking out would certainly lead to his demise.

“Hmm, still defiant,” Su Chang’an said and, losing interest in the scoundrel, turned to address another group.

“Speak… now, you tell me.”

These people of the Mount Tai Sect, accustomed to bullying and plundering solitary travelers with their numbers, had done plenty of evil deeds.

They hadn’t expected that preying on a weaker one today would backfire so spectacularly.

“Young hero, we don’t know…”

“Senior brother, if he says he doesn’t know, then we don’t know.”

“Don’t know…”

“I really don’t know…”

“Who is Jiang Tang?

I don’t know…”

The disciples of the Mount Tai Sect had already understood that if their senior brother denied it, they should also deny it.

Admitting guilt would add a level to their crime, while denial might only mean death, but admission could result in becoming ashes.

There is a difference between the two.

For cultivators like them, who can no longer be reincarnated, even in death, they cannot reincarnate.

Reduced to ashes, one can only become air in the world, but if only dead, the soul can still become a ghost cultivator and continue to cultivate on the path of becoming a cultivator of the Ghost Dao.

There might still be a chance for revenge.

“Mmmmmm”

Under a spell, Cai Xiangxiang couldn’t speak.

Hearing her fellow disciples’ denials, she wanted to speak but could not form words, becoming anxious.

Master Su, please help me undo this quickly.

I know everything.

If the fellow disciples had admitted it, she would have pleaded for mercy with them; but if they refused to speak, then the only option was for her to reveal the truth.

If the truth meant her death, then she would turn into a ghost to seek out Jiang Tang.

Su Chang’an glanced at Cai Xiangxiang, then coldly eyed the others.

“Oh, so you’re not talking, is that it?

Then I’ll find someone who can.”

Hearing this, Huang Chen and the other junior disciples looked even more terrified, their pleading gazes falling on Cai Xiangxiang, hoping she wouldn’t confess and implicate them.

Previously, this approach worked well, the junior sister’s soft heart begged for Jiang Tang’s release and spared them.

Now, employing the same trick, surely the junior sister would help them again—they are all from the same sect.

The junior sister wouldn’t be so foolish as to confess and implicate them, would she?

That would mean she too couldn’t escape being involved.

Seeing the pleading expressions of her fellow disciples, Cai Xiangxiang could only shake her head vigorously.

She couldn’t keep making mistakes.

“Junior sister…”

Huang Chen began to speak but didn’t dare to continue, only his eyes conveying the message.

“Senior sister…”

The voices of five or six disciples rose, all they could do was to plead with Cai Xiangxiang, their eyes begging for salvation.

Cai Xiangxiang shook her head frantically, her mouth emitting: “Mmmmmm”

Su Chang’an watched their performance—a performance so clear that even a fool could see they were guilty!

Their guilty behavior meant these people absolutely could not be forgiven…

With a wave of his hand, Su Chang’an turned a stream of spiritual power into a beam of light and cast it upon Cai Xiangxiang.

Cai Xiangxiang felt her body could move and she could speak again, but after being controlled for so long, her body was somewhat numb.

She needed spiritual power to flow through her meridians.

Being controlled by the spell made her throat numb, “Cough cough”

“You, speak…”

Su Chang’an’s one pointing finger indicated Cai Xiangxiang.

Cai Xiangxiang glanced at her fellow disciples and then at Su Chang’an, considering how to speak.

“Heroine, don’t be afraid.

If you look like you couldn’t harm Jiang Tang, as long as you didn’t harm him, we won’t hold you responsible,” someone said.

“Junior sister”

“Senior sister”

Hearing the pleading of her fellow disciples, Cai Xiangxiang still shook her head.

She couldn’t keep erring.

It was time for them to meet their ghostly ends, time to avenge Jiang Tang.

Perhaps after seeking revenge, her Qi would flow freely, and her cultivation might reach a new level.

Otherwise, if she kept suppressing that anger, she would certainly miss out on advancements.

Whether for her sake or for Jiang Tang, who sacrificed himself for her in the oasis, she had to speak the truth.

Seeing her shaking her head, Huang Chen and her fellow disciples’ faces grew uglier, their pleading eyes turning glaring.

Indeed, these people had no affection for her; they were just using her to achieve their goals, without any sibling-like sentiment of the sect.

Cai Xiangxiang saw the change in her siblings’ expressions too, but having put life and death aside, how could she care about their glare?

Now she was indifferent, wanting only to denounce them and see them receive the punishment they deserved.

If you do wrong, you should be punished.

After all, they had committed many wrongs.

Throughout their journey, Huang Chen had committed many evils, leading the juniors into misdeeds.

Now they were about to face retribution; perhaps this was heaven’s design.

Today was their day of death; they must not be allowed to harm others any longer.

Such behavior could harm many innocent and kind people.

Although the Cultivation World operates on the principle of the survival of the fittest, resorting to ruthless means is indeed contemptible, the very reason why great demons are universally despised.

Cai Xiangxiang’s red lips moved gently:

“Master Su, Taoist Yan, Jiang Tang…uuuu, was killed by them.”

“What?

Jiang Tang…

is dead!

How can that be?”

Yan Weiwei had only sensed that Jiang Tang was in danger, but not that he had completely disappeared.

She always felt he was somewhere, waiting for her to rescue him.

Upon hearing the bad news, Yan Weiwei’s body shook, trembling uncontrollably, as if she had just suffered a devastating blow.
