The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 162 - The Scum Is Panicky



Zheng Yi's closed eyes snapped open and he loudly gasped. He looked at the direction of south.

"What is it?" Jing Bai who was sensitive to the sounds was awoken and he turned to Zheng Yi to ask.

"A demonic cultivator." Zheng Yi answered as he narrowed his eyes and rose from the ground.

"What?!" Jing Hei, who can't sleep, exclaimed.

"Which direction?" Jing Cheng asked.

"South." Zheng Yi answered as he immediately opened the map. "Damn it." He cursed.

"What's wrong?" Qian Lin asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"I can't find Cheng Sheng." Zheng Yi answered as he cursed.

"He must be south." Jing Kang said as he fixed his clothes. "Where he is, that's where the demonic cultivator is going." He explained.

Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei, Qian Lin and Zheng Yi who are still on their inner clothes. "..." Aren't you too excited? They thought as they looked at Jing Kang who was neatly dressed-up. As expected of the elegant gentleman of the Jing manor. They added in their mind.

"Let's go." Jing Cheng said as he grabbed his outer robe lying on the ground.

"Yes!" they answered

On the Shanliangde Sect's side, they were woken up by the Alliance's disciple Zheng Yi relayed the information to.

"A demonic cultivator?!" they exclaimed as they immediately dressed-up.

"Cheng-shidi!" Sun Yi called as he got on his feet.

"We'll be going, too!" Xi Ming said as he woken up Xi Xing and Gong Xian who were deeply asleep.

Sun Yi nodded and gratefully smiled at them. "Thank you." He told them before he ascended with his sword. This is the time! He thought and grinned. 

On the Huakai Sect's side.

"What?!" Tang Zhe reacted. "A demonic cultivator?!" he said.

The Alliance's disciple nodded.

Tang Zhe frowned. "How did they get in here…?" he muttered as his brows knit. He turned to his fellow disciples. "Everyone! A demonic cultivator appeared!" he told them.

"WHAT?!" they exclaimed. They were just about to go to sleep after their dinner was delayed today because the Alliance's disciple with Kang Ce had left with Kang Ce this morning. Thus, there's only one person now who can cook for eleven people's worth.

"Yeah. We have to help. It must definitely because of Cheng Sheng!" Tang Zhe said as he drew his sword. His fellow disciples immediately get on their feet and followed him.

"More enemies!" Tang Yun said as his eyes gleamed with excitement.

However, just as they came out and they met Chen Han's group who were also flying towards the south.

"The Huakai Sect!" Xiao Le was the first to notice them since Chen Han, Li Tian and Feng Mo were too worried for Cheng Sheng's sake. The Alliance's disciple was flying behind them at a constant speed.

Hearing Xiao Le's voice, Chen Han, Li Tian and Feng Mo turned. "Young master Tang." Chen Han said and nodded at Tang Zhe.

Tang Zhe and his fellow disciples flew alongside them. "Have you also heard…" he said and looked at the Alliance's disciple of Chen Han's group.

"Yes." Feng Mo answered. "Let's fly faster." He said and flew past them. Chen Han, Li Tian, Xiao Le and the Alliance's disciple matched his speed.

The Huakai Sect was left behind. "There's someone missing in their group." Shan Lu spoke as they catch up to Chen Han's group.

"Huh?" Tang Zhe said and looked at the group flying in front of them.

"It's Yu Sheng." Guo Cheng said after he didn't see Yu Sheng.

"They must have sent him first, with his strength…" Tang Zhe said. The Huakai Sect disciples looked at each other and nodded in understanding. Yu Sheng is another monster like Wu Xi and Cheng Sheng.

They flew faster to immediately reach their destination.

On Kang Ce's side… "A demonic cultivator?" he said and laughed. "Great. There must be tons of walking corpses there! Let's go!" he said and flew away on his sword.

The Alliance's disciple assigned to him can only helplessly follow.

Outside the secret realm, the people were in an uproar. "Demonic cultivator?!" they exclaimed and started to panic. They started to ran in all directions. However, where can they ran off to? This is an unfamiliar place.

"How can there be a demonic cultivator?! Again?!" they asked as they ran in a frenzy, trying to find some place they can hide.

"There was one before during the matches. Now there's another!" someone said.

"Calm down, everyone!" Zheng Fu Gong said in a loud voice.

"No… no! I only came here to watch. I don't want to lose my life!" somebody cried as he fell on his knees when his legs shake in fear.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I won't believe in the Alliance again! This always happens!" someone said and dashed to leave.

"Elder Pai." Zheng Fu Gong called.

"Yeah." Pai Lie nodded as he raised his hand and the whole area was suddenly enclosed. "Elder Su." He called.

"Yes." Su Yuan said and raised his hand to cast a Calming Spell. "Elder Qi." he called.

"Hmn." Qi Ling frowned as he took out talismans and made a formation. "We've secured the area. No demonic cultivator can go inside this area." He said.

"There is the Cleansing Stone here." Zheng Fu Gong said. "If a demonic cultivator arrives, he will immediately be burned by its light." He explained.

"Then how can a demonic cultivator appear inside the secret realm?" someone from the audience asked.

"We have to investigate it yet." Zheng Fu Gong said. "However, the secret realm has many entrances and exits, since this is a separate dimension. If one was to found its entrance, they can enter the secret realm." He explained. "The area we sent the contestants is secured. If a demonic cultivator appeared, then – " he said and looked at all the people present. " – they must be a contestant." He told them.

Everyone gasped in shock. "A contestant?! How can that be?!" they said.

"It must be the rogue cultivators! Who knows where they came from?!" someone said.

"Why blame it on us?" A rogue cultivator that was a contestant before said. "Wasn't the demonic cultivator from the second stage during the matches a disciple?" he said.

Everyone started to argue. Jing Rui's face is frosty while the other sect leaders are tense.

"Xiao Sheng…" Xie Lan balled his fists as he rose from his seat.

"Sect leader Xie?!" they exclaimed when they saw Xie Lan walked towards the entrance of the secret realm.

"Founder!" the Xinfaxian Sect disciples called when they saw Xie Lan. "Founder!" they cried.

"Sect leader Xie! Where do you think you're going?" Jing Xian said as he blocked Xie Lan's way.

"Move." Xie Lan said, his face is dark. "I can't stand it anymore. I won't risk my disciple's life anymore just for a contest!" he said as he tried to push Jing Xian.

"Junior Xie!" Fei Huang called. "Calm down." He told him.

"How can I?!" Xie Lan said as he glared at them. "If Xiao Sheng dies, how can I face Wen?!" he asked.

"Have faith in your disciples." Jing Rui spoke. Everyone turned to him. "We're all the same. We're all worried for our disciples." He told him.

"Jing Rui." Xie Lan said. "You can say that since your disciples aren't the ones being targeted by those pesky demonic cultivators!" he told him.

"Senior Xie." Wu Yuan called. "I… agree with sect leader Fei and sect leader Jing." He said.

"Junior Wu – !" Xie Lan glared at him.

"Xie Lan." It was Qian Shan. "I have my dear second son there. He's the only one from our sect. If it comes to it, the others can leave him to save themselves." He said, his face is serious as he held Xie Lan's shoulder tight. "My Lin-er is all alone, while your disciple isn't. How can you panic more than I?" he asked, his voice low.

"Sect leader Qian…" they called and looked at him in sympathy. Qian Shan had always been an easy-going man. This is the first time they have seen him this serious.

"The secret realm will open four days from now." Zheng Fu Gong said. "We can't break in. As I've said, the secret realm has many entrances, as well as exits." He explained. "If we forcefully break in, who knows where the contestants will be sent out." he told them.

"… damn it!" Xie Lan cursed as he kicked a chair.

"Founder…" the Xinfaxian Sect disciples worriedly looked at Xie Lan.

"If I may speak – " a voice said.

Everyone turned and saw it was Zuo Zhe. "You are… Yu Sheng's lov – " they said.

Zuo Zhe's face darkened and he cut them off. "My name is Zuo Zhe." He introduced himself. "I am acquaintances with the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples." He said.

Xie Lan and Wu Yuan recognized him. "Young master Zuo." Xie Lan called. "What it is that you want to say?" he asked.

Zuo Zhe looked at him. "I just want to say, basing on Cheng Sheng's character and his recent behaviors – " he said as he took a deep breath. " – he must have already expected a demonic cultivator will come." He said. "No – " he said as his eyes narrowed. " – he already knew a demonic cultivator is present among them." he told them.
