Chapter 209 Prologue: The Transmigrated Young Master of the Tang Family (Doujing Continent, serialized by Tang Tang)
Tang... Tang Snake?!

My name is Tang She?!

The vine snake was startled by the sudden address, and then it suddenly realized that the voice behind it sounded very familiar.

Tang She suddenly turned around, his pupils contracting sharply!
On the cliff, a dark mass of menacing figures stood!
Leading the group was none other than Hei Lian, an elder of the General Department, wearing red-rimmed glasses and a white robe of a Tang Sect elder, with a face as gloomy as water!
His eyes, behind his glasses, were now flashing with a cold, ruthless light.

Beside Elder Hei Lian stood a group of powerful figures, also dressed in Tang Clan elder attire!

They are: Homiga, the Poison Elder, dressed in a tight-fitting purple-black outfit, with a faint poisonous mist emanating from his magical electric guitar; Xiaojuer, the Electric Elder, with dazzling golden hair and faintly flickering electric snakes around her; Hachiku, the Ice Elder, with blue hair and beard and an aura of icy coldness emanating from him; and Wanlong, the Ghost Elder, whose figure is elusive, as if shrouded in shadow...

Upon closer inspection, all seventeen Tang Clan elders were present!

(After calculating, all the gym leaders of Black and White 12 plus the Elite Four make up exactly seventeen people, which matches the seventeen elders of the Tang Clan in the original work.)

Their powerful auras merged into one, like a tangible pressure, making the air at the edge of the cliff almost freeze!

Just then, a woman wearing a distinctive green hat suddenly rushed out, grabbed Elder Blackie's leg, and pleaded tearfully.

"No! Elder Hei Lian! Please reconsider! Tang She is a once-in-a-century 6V genius of our Tang Sect! It... it is the only outer disciple who has mastered the 'Rain of Pear Blossom Needles' to the 'Leaf' level! Please, give it another chance! It must have been confused for a moment!"

Elder Hei Lian glanced helplessly at Bai Lu, who was kneeling and begging, snorted coldly, and with a flash of light in his hand, a super ball engraved with complex runes appeared in his palm.

He looked down at the Tang snake on the cliff edge and shouted coldly.

"Hmph, you wicked disciple! Considering your rare talent, I'll give you one last chance! Quickly enter this 'Ten Thousand Pigs' Screaming Hell' and suffer the torture of ten thousand pigs squealing. If you can survive for forty-nine days, I might spare your life! Otherwise... this place will be your burial ground!"

"Hahahahahahaha!!!"

The response to Elder Hei Lian was a burst of hysterical laughter from Tang She!

The laughter was filled with madness, disdain, and overwhelming hatred. The emerald green figure swayed back and forth amidst the laughter, looking like a madman!
"Spare my life? Hahahaha! I've endured so much hardship for so many years, finally breaking free from the shackles of the Super Ball, and you still dare to dream of letting me go back? Dream on! My divine skills are complete, the Mysterious Heaven Skill protects me, and the Rain of Pear Blossoms is in my hand. Where in the world can't I go?!"

As he spoke, Tang She's slender body suddenly grew tall and imposing, and he shouted sharply.

"You hypocritical old dogs are nothing but jealous and envious dogs, afraid that I'll overshadow you inner disciples! Why is it that you humans can become inner disciples and learn the highest-level techniques, while we elves have to stay in our Poké Balls and be at your beck and call! This is utterly unfair! Today, I have achieved great success in my cultivation; it is you who deserve to die! Die, all of you!!!"

Amidst his maniacal laughter, Tang She's eyes blazed with emerald light, and his divine king's will and the inner power of the Xuan Tian Gong surged wildly!
Its slender body suddenly spun around, and the emerald green vine behind it exploded like a peacock spreading its tail!

Countless emerald green leaves, infused with pure internal energy and potent poison, seemed to be activated by an invisible force, breaking free from the vines and transforming into a vast, emerald-green tidal wave that blotted out the sky!

"Tang Clan's Ultimate Technique: Rain of Pear Blossom Leaves!!!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, countless leaves, as thin as cicada wings, with sharp edges and shimmering with a cold, eerie green light, rained down like a torrential downpour, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, and indiscriminately shot towards the seventeen Tang Clan elders on the cliff!
Each leaf contains the power to pierce through metal and stone, and the deadly poison that can kill instantly!
"How dare you, you bastard!"

"How dare you!"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

The elders were both shocked and furious, and they all shouted angrily!

Faced with this terrifying attack that could threaten their lives, they dared not be negligent!

Almost simultaneously, the seventeen elders burst into light, and all sorts of hidden weapon Poké Balls were thrown out of their hands!

"Come forth, Centipede King!"

"Stop it! Rat-headed Earthworm!"

"Crystal Chandelier Spirit, use Love Like Fire!"

"Artificial cell egg, psychic barrier!"

Suddenly, a burst of mysterious light erupted above the cliff!
Outer disciples of various shapes and imposing presences were summoned and stood in front of their respective elders!
The centipede king spewed poisonous mist to form a barrier; the rat-headed earth dragon used an iron wall to transform into a giant shield; the artificial cell egg supported an invisible psychic shield... They each displayed their unique abilities, trying to resist the deadly flying leaves that poured down like a torrential rain!
Puff puff puff puff! Clang clang clang!
Sharp flying leaves clashed fiercely with various defensive skills!
Although most of them were blocked, quite a few still slipped through the defenses, leaving tears in the elders' robes and even slashing their skin, eliciting muffled groans and gasps!
Upon seeing that Tang She dared to commit violence in public and nearly injure an elder of the sect, Elder Hei Lian was utterly enraged!
His eyes, bloodshot behind his glasses, let out a roar that shook the mountains.

"You damned beast! Even Tang San, that outcast from the outer sect, knew to sever his own meridians and jump off a cliff to prove his loyalty. How dare you, you animal, betray your master and ancestors, and commit treason?! Seize him! Today, I, Hei Lian, will personally cleanse this sect!"

As Elder Heilian roared, a massive, dark figure burst forth from beside him!

It was none other than that outer disciple, known for her superhuman strength and formidable physique, 【Miss Lips - Guangdong Region Form - Aloe】!
(Oh, right, there are actually eighteen Gym Leaders and Elite Four members in the Unova region, but because the director didn't treat Aloe as a person, there are seventeen "people". She can only be an outer disciple here.)

Her eyes were wide open, and she let out a hoarse roar, her muscles bulging like steel.

Immediately afterwards, its enormous foot shattered the ground, and its entire body transformed into a raging humanoid meteorite, crashing fiercely towards Tang She at the edge of the cliff with an aura of mutual destruction!

This is precisely the Tang Clan's ultimate martial arts move—[Sacrifice Charge]!
Tang She was slightly out of breath because the pear blossom leaves had blocked the rain, and when he saw the muscular monster charging towards him with overwhelming force, he was too fast to dodge and could only curse loudly.

"Aloe! You stupid, pig-like beast! You are also an elf, and as an outer disciple, you are born to resist these humans who enslave us! How could you willingly serve these inner disciple human dogs, becoming their lackeys and henchmen! This is a disgrace to my elf race!"

"presumptuous!"

A deep, thunderous roar abruptly cut off Tang She's curses!
Aloe's copper bell-like eyes were fixed on Tang Snake, filled with violent anger and contempt!

"Tang Snake! You ungrateful, treacherous beast! Open your snake eyes and see clearly! My physique and cultivation are all gifts from the Tang Sect! It was the Tang Sect that gave me a place to live and taught me the methods of body tempering. This is a life-saving grace!"

"And you! Relying on your talent and the great favors bestowed upon you by the sect, you not only fail to repay them, but also secretly practice forbidden techniques and even attempt to murder your teachers and overthrow the Tang Sect! Today, I will use this body of steel and iron bestowed upon me by the Tang Sect to awaken you, you wicked creature whose mind has been blinded by power!"

Before the words were even finished, the aloe vera's accumulated [self-sacrificing charge] finally erupted!
Its massive body transformed into a black shadow that tore through the air currents, carrying an unwavering loyalty and violent power, and crashed hard into the protective green light that Tang Snake had hastily gathered!

"boom--!!!"

A deep, guttural thud echoed from the edge of the cliff!

"Uhhh-!!!"

Tang Snake felt as if his vine whip was about to be broken, his internal organs shifted instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of grass juice!
The immense impact lifted it and the aloe vera off the ground, and like quantum entanglement, they plummeted towards the bottomless abyss!
The biting wind howled in his ears, and the fear of weightlessness instantly seized Tang She's mind!
It stared intently at the sly-lipped woman in front of it, who was falling with it and whose face was contorted in rage. Its extraordinary wisdom was instantly ignited by anger, and it let out a heart-wrenching curse.

"Fool! Utterly foolish! I'll drag you down with me even if I die today! On the road to the underworld, I'll make sure you, you traitor, go first!!!"

However, Tang She's curses had barely ended—

At the top of the cliff, Elder Hei Lian's icy voice, like the pronouncement of death, clearly pierced through the sound of the falling wind.

"Hmph, you stupid snake, you still don't know how to repent even when you're about to die! Aloe, you've done enough! Mission accomplished, come back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Aloe, who was holding the falling Tang snake, snorted coldly, and then a red light flashed on her body!
call out!
One second it was clinging tightly to Tang She's hideous, dark body, and the next it vanished without a trace.

Only Tang Snake remained, all alone, like a kite with a broken string, continuing to plummet towards the bottomless abyss of darkness!
Tang She was instantly dumbfounded!
Its boundless anger and determination to perish together were shattered at this moment by the sudden sense of absurdity!

It futilely twisted its body, watching the crowd on the cliff edge grow smaller and smaller until they were almost black dots, with only the blurry yet mocking figure of Elder Heilian remaining in its field of vision.

His triumphant laughter, like a demonic chant, echoed wildly in Tang She's despairing mind.

"Hahahaha, you wretch! This is the price you pay for your unruly behavior and refusal to return to your Poké Ball! In your next life, reflect on your actions! Farewell!!!"

"No—! You old black dog! I, Tang She, will haunt you even in death!!!"

Filled with endless resentment, Tang Snake let out a final, piercing, and distorted hiss before its small figure was swiftly swallowed up by the darkness and mist below the cliff...
