Chapter 2048: Unease
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With Duan Ling Tian threatening him and Dong Lin threatening him, Tian Dong felt as though he was going to go insane! What sin did he commit in his past life? To think he would encounter these two unlucky stars in his current life!

However, in the end, Tian Dong still made a choice. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, since you don’t want enmity between us, just go!” Based on his words, it was obvious he no longer planned to teach Duan Ling Tian a lesson.

Upon hearing his words, Dong Lin merely frowned a little. However, he soon thought this was the best outcome. Naturally, he still felt extremely unwilling in his heart!

“Tian Dong, are you deaf or something?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave as he said coldly, “I told you to move! Could it be for Dong Lin’s sake, you don’t even care about your children and direct disciples?” Duan Ling Tian continued to threaten Tian Dong again as he clicked his tongue. “I wonder what your children and direct disciples would think if they know about your choice today!”

“Elder Tian Dong, you should know that if father finds out you and Duan Ling Tian join forces to go against me, he won’t let you go! He won’t let your children and direct disciples go as well!” Dong Lin began to threaten Tian Dong as well when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s threats. He was really afraid Tian Dong would abandon him when faced with Duan Ling Tian’s threat.

It had to be said that Tian Dong was far more afraid of Dong Lin’s father, Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin, than he was afraid of Duan Ling Tian.

For this reason, he quickly came to a decision. He glared at Duan Ling Tian indifferently. “Duan Ling Tian, I’m not going to touch you today, but I’m going to protect Dong Lin as well! If you dare to touch my children and direct disciples under such circumstances, even if I have to violate the rules of the sect and be punished, I’ll cripple you!” Tian Dong’s voice was extremely cold and resolute. His tone brooked no argument.

“Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian smiled coldly, “If I’m not mistaken, the Fire Worship Sect seems to have a rule that states high-ranking officials from the Enforcement Hall who violate the rules will be punished twice as heavily. Even if you don’t kill me and only cripple me, you’ll definitely die! You’re going to sacrifice your life for the sake of sparing your children and direct disciples a little pain? Do you think I’ll believe that?!” His smile turned even wider when he reached the end of his sentence. His gaze was filled with mockery when he looked at Tian Dong.

“Tian Dong, you better don’t make a choice you’ll regret!” Duan Ling Tian said again when he saw Tian Dong’s expression had changed drastically. At the same time, he charged toward Tian Dong. To be more precise, he was charging at Dong Lin. Tian Dong was merely an obstacle that was blocking his way.

Tian Dong paled and his eyes shone brightly when he saw Duan Ling Tian charging at him. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

Whoosh!

However, when Duan Ling Tian approached him, he moved away. In the end, he chose to compromise.

In his opinion, although Vice Hall Master Dong was much more terrifying than Duan Ling Tian, he still had his reputation to take care of so he would not make a move against his children or direct disciples. At most, he would just show Tian Dong an ugly expression. After all, Dong Lin was merely taught a lesson. He was not crippled nor killed! This did not touch Vice Hall Master Dong’s bottom line!

Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, was different. Although he was not as terrifying as Vice Hall Master Dong, he had nothing to lose nor did he have anything to fear.

Tian Dong could only choose to avoid this madman! Otherwise, his children and direct disciples would definitely meet their doom! For this reason, during the critical moment, he changed his mind and moved aside.

“Elder Tian Dong!” Dong Lin’s face turned green instantly when he saw Tian Dong moving to the side at the critical moment, leaving him completely vulnerable. It did not cross his mind that Tian Dong would do this.

Slap!

Horror dawned on Dong Lin’s face as the crisp sound of slap resounded in the air!

Duan Ling Tian stood before Dong Ling and raised his hand to slap him. He left a clear palm print on his face, causing his face to swell.

“Y-You actually dare to slap me?!” Dong Lin was stunned. When he regained his senses, he looked at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief as though he had just seen a ghost.

“That’s right! I’m slapping you” Duan Ling Tian smiled coldly before he raised his hand to continue slapping Dong Lin.

If Dong Lin made any sound at all, he would increase his strength. In the end, Dong Lin could only keep quiet. His eyes were bloodshot as he endured it silently.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

The sound of slapping rang in the air, causing chills to run up the few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders’ spines.

Nobody dared to stop Duan Ling Tian at all.

What a joke!

Even the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder Tian Dong was just standing aside quietly. He did not even dare to fart. Even if they were stronger than Duan Ling Tian, they still would not dare to stop him, let alone the fact that they were weaker than him. Moreover, they all had children and direct disciples in the Fire Worship Sect. Who knew if Duan Ling Tian would look for trouble with them over this matter.

Duan Ling Tian was someone who acted without rhyme or reason. It was better not to offend someone like this!

“Crazy! He’s crazy!” Tian Dong who had moved aside saw Duan Ling Tian slapping Dong Lin until his face was as swollen as a pig’s head. He could not help the chills running up his spine. He felt as though Duan Ling Tian was insane.

Who was Dong Lin? He was the only son of the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin! Vice Hall Master Dong regarded this son of his as his life-line. If he knew his son was being humiliated like this, how could he not be furious?

“Stop!” At this moment, although Tian Dong feared Duan Ling Tian might make a move on his children and direct disciples, he could no longer stand aside quietly and watch. He quickly went up to Duan Ling Tian to stop him.

Tian Dong began to regret his decision a little. Initially, he had thought Duan Ling Tian would only teach Dong Lin a small lesson. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would slap him so many times until his face was almost unrecognizable. It was fine if nobody knew about it. However, if news of this spread out, how was Dong Lin going to raise his head in the Enforcement Hall and the Fire Worship Sect in the future? No ordinary person would be able to endure such a humiliation!

Duan Ling Tian stopped when Tian Dong intervened since he had vented almost all his anger. Before he left, he turned around elegantly and looked at Dong Lin coldly as he said, “Dong Lin, I’ve originally forgotten most of the matter in the Fire Remuneration Palace. I had no plans of getting even with you. Today, you came knocking on my door, looking to be beaten up, so don’t blame me for this!”

“Elder Tian Dong, thank you for your cooperation!” Tian Dong had just sighed in relief when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he became furious again. Duan Ling Tian did not forget to pull him down with him even until the end.

“Duan Ling Tian… Duan Ling Tian… If you don’t die, I swear I’m not human!” Dong Lin glared at Duan Ling Tian with his bloodshot eyes. He was so furious that his body began to tremble. Although it was difficult to see his expression since his face was so swollen, one could tell he was extremely furious.

Dong Lin turned to look at Tian Dong coldly after Duan Ling Tian disappeared from his sight. His mouth was swollen as well so he spoke with a stammer. “T-Tian Dong… I-I’ll tell m-my father a-about t-this! Y-You just w—wait a-and see!” He flew away as soon as he finished speaking.

“Damn it!” Tian Dong’s expression turned grim when he heard Dong Lin’s words. He realized he had made the wrong choice since he did not expect Duan Ling Tian would humiliate Dong Lin to this extent. If he had known things would turn out this way, he would not have moved away at all.

If news of what happened today spread out, Dong Lin would probably wish he was dead! One could imagine that when Vice Hall Master Dong discovers that his beloved son was treated this way, he would not let Duan Ling Tian go. Not only that, but he would not let Tian Dong go as well.

“All of you better keep this in mind! If any of you dare to spread word of this, it won’t just be me, but Vice Hall Master Dong won’t let you go as well!” Tian Dong warned the few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders as he looked at them.

“Don’t worry, Elder Tian Dong, I won’t tell anyone about this!”

“Don’t worry Elder Tian Dong, I didn’t see anything earlier!”

“What happened? I’m m-merely passing by… Really…”

Upon hearing Tian Dong’s words, the few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders quickly spoke up as though they were afraid they would be beaten if they did not quickly speak up.

At the same time, fear began to rise in their hearts.

‘Duan Ling Tian really doesn’t want to live anymore!’

‘I’ve seen people who are not afraid of death but not to such an extent! That person he just humiliated is Dong Lin. He’s not like Wen Yan!’

‘He’s going to die! Based on how much Vice Hall Master Dong loves Dong Lin, he won’t let this matter go!’

These were the inner thoughts of the few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders. They felt Duan Ling Tian was only seeking death by acting so recklessly.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was delighted. He did not feel guilty over today’s matter at all. It was just as he had said earlier. If Dong Lin did not come looking for trouble with him, he would have let the enmity between them go. However, since Dong Lin had come looking for him, Duan Ling Tian was not going to let himself be bullied.

“Why do I suddenly feel a little uneasy?!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression suddenly changed as though he had sensed something.
