Chapter 510 – Bone Transforming Technique
“In order to save that Jiang Chen, Tan Lang would rather bear all torture and won’t tell me anything. This tells us that he has a special relationship with Jiang Chen. So, I suggest we use Tan Lang as a bait to lure that Jiang Chen out.”
Ling Yi said.
“That’s right. Since that Jiang Chen likes sticking his nose in others’ business, he wouldn’t let Tan Lang get killed by us. In my opinion, we should announce the news immediately, and give him three days of time. If Jiang Chen doesn’t show up in those three days, we’ll kill Tan Lang.”
Someone agreed to Ling Yi's idea.
”No, I’m against that idea.”
The gray-haired old man who was a Ninth Grade Combat King like Xiao Nanfeng immediately objected to the idea. He swept his eyes around the place, then continued, “No matter what, Tan Lang is still a disciple of the Asura Palace. If we use our own disciple’s life to threaten an outside… we, the Asura Palace can’t afford to do this, we’ll lose too much face.”
”Elder Liu, tell us what to do.”
Someone asked. Elder Liu was a respectable man in the Asura Palace, and although his position was second to the Great Tycoon, his words carried a lot of weight, enough that the other tycoons would have to do as he says.
“There aren’t any good solutions. Just continue to search for that Jiang Chen and the monk. I believe the other three major powers are also searching for them. Those two have offended all four major powers of the Liang Province at the same time, and I really wish to see how long they can hide. As for Tan Lang, in any case, this disciple is crippled, and I can see a lot of hatred toward the Asura Palace in his eyes. Since that is the case, we can still use him as bait. Just throw him into the Freezing Hell Jail and let him die in there himself.”
Elder Liu decided Tan Lang’s destiny with just one sentence.
Hearing the Freezing Hell Jail’s name, even these tycoons felt a cold shiver running down their backs. Just from the name alone, one could easily imagine how frightening it was. It was a place used by the Asura Palace to lock up convicted felons. The environment within was extremely harsh, and for those who were locked up in this jail, the only ending for them would be death, no exceptions. Killing Tan Lang was much quicker than throwing him into the Freezing Hell Jail and letting him run his own course.
“Elder Liu, I think that although Tan Lang has made a mistake, it’s not to the extent where he should suffer such cruel torture. If he really hates the Asura Palace, we can just kill him straightaway and give him a quick death. Why should we torture him like this? He was after all once part of the Asura Palace.”
The Third Tycoon was a fat guy. Although his cultivation base was formidable, the weight of his words weren’t heavy enough to compare with Xiao Nanfeng and Elder Liu’s. However, he still thought it was rather cruel to put a core disciples into the Freezing Hell Jail.
“Third Brother, since when did you become such a merciful man? This matter is decided. We can just use Tan Lang as bait without killing him. Spread the news about Tan Lang being imprisoned in the Freezing Hell Jail. I doubt Jiang Chen will just stand by after receiving this piece of news.”
The Great Tycoon made the final decision.
When someone else tried to say something, Xiao Nanfeng had stood up and left the place.
…………
The next day, while all four major powers were still searching for Jiang Chen and the monk, some news came from the Asura Palace. A core disciple of the Asura Palace was in collusion with enemies, which led to the death of many genius disciple of the Asura Palace, bringing them great losses. Hence, Tan Lang was banished to the Freezing Hell Jail as punishment.
The news instantly brought mixed feelings to many people. This was the end of a genius. Lately, Tan Lang could considered as one of the men who rose to fame among all other core disciples; a man with a bright future. If everything went smoothly for him, he could get along well even within the Asura Palace. But now, he was struck with such misfortune.
The Freezing Hell Jail was just as famous as the Asura Palace’s Thirteen Tycoons. Even those who weren’t a part of the Asura Palace were well aware of this Freezing Hell Jail. Whenever someone mentioned its name, it would instantly send a cold shiver down their spines.
The jail was specifically designed for those people who were convicted of serious crimes. However, it was rarely used against the Asura Palace’s own disciples. Most of the time, it was used against enemies of the Asura Palace. All ferocious demons and enemies the Asura Palace wanted dead; they would all be placed in the Freezing Hell Jail to run their own course. So to speak, the Freezing Hell Jail represented death. Not quick death, but a cruel death.
“Sigh… Tan Lang is really pitiful. The Asura Palace has gone too far this time. He is after all a core disciple. Even if he really was convicted of a serious mistake, I don’t think he would be punished with a death sentence, let alone being thrown into the Freezing Hell Jail.”
“I agree. The punishment indeed seems overly serious. Tan Lang is completely finished this time. Once he’s placed in the Freezing Hell Jail, he will definitely suffer from all sorts of tortures, and eventually die.”
“A possible reason why the Asura Palace did this is to lure Jiang Chen out. However, in my opinion, I don’t think it will work. Jiang Chen is a ruthless man, and it doesn’t seem like he has a close relationship with Tan Lang. I don’t think he will show himself because of Tan Lang. The entire Liang Province is covered with traps, and all four major powers are searching for Jiang Chen and the monk everywhere. As long as they show up, only certain death will await them.”
…………
Many people were discussing the recent events. There was no doubt that the situation Tan Lang was now facing was directly related to Jiang Chen.
On Heavenhawk Island, Big Yellow had just returned after fishing for the latest news, and he brought the news back to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was enraged upon hearing the news.
”I have to save him.”
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen made up his mind.
“Young master Jiang, this Freezing Hell Jail is located within the Asura Palace, and Tan Lang is almost certain to die once thrown into this jail. There is no way we can save him.”
