The Scum Is A ***

Outside the secret realm.

"They're being reckless!" a sect leader said when they saw Fei Yin, Chen Han, Xi Ming, Jing Cheng and Tang Zhe run into the forest to look for the demonic cultivator.

Li Tian, Feng Mo and Xiao Le were cutting down the walking corpses and the monsters, together with the Huakai Sect disciples, Xi Xing, Gong Xian, Jing Hei, Jing Bai, Jing Kang, Qian Lin, Fu An and Xiong Si.

"They don't know yet how strong this demonic cultivator is!" another sect leader said. "For it to break through the Alliance's defenses…" he gritted his teeth.

"They at least should have paired up. That way, their chances to defeat the demonic cultivator is higher." Tang Teng said as he looked at Tang Yun, Shan Lu, Guo Cheng and the rest of the Huakai Sect disciples. Tang Zhe is out of sight since he went inside the forest. "Let us look at the map!" he suggested, his voice is filled with anxiety.

"That's right." Fei Huang said. "With the map, we can see everyone – including the ones that entered the forest." he explained. They will only see their lights, but it is better than nothing.

"Okay." Zheng Fu Gong answered as he, Pai Lie, Jing Xian, Su Yuan and Qi Ling placed their hand above the Cleansing Stone. The projected image from the Cleansing Stone immediately turned to a map. They finally saw the six moving colorful lights inside the forest.

"Xiao Yin…" Xie Lan called as he looked at Fei Yin's green light.

"Da shixiong." Wu Yuan called as he looked at the vivid red light of Chen Han.

"Xi Ming." Fei Huang's face is grave as he looked at the moving blue light.

"Jing Cheng." Jing Rui called as he looked at the orange light indicating it's Jing Cheng.

"Xiao Zhe." Tang Teng called as he looked at the golden light like the sun. It's Tang Zhe.

Each sect leader called their eldest disciple. "Huh?" someone muttered when he noticed something strange. "There are only five who called their disciple… but there are six lights in the forest area?" he said as he looked at the six lights moving.

The sect leader beside him nodded. "Green is the Xinfaxian Sect. Red is the Youxiwang Sect. Blue is the Shanliangde Sect. Orange is the Zunjingde Sect. And gold is the Huakai Sect." he said. "Where did this gray light come from?" he asked with a puzzled look in his face.

"Gray… it's for rogue cultivators." somebody said. "Could it be Yu Sheng?" he asked. "Or Wu Xi?" he added.

"But… Yu Sheng and Wu Xi are there." Someone said and pointed the Cleansing Stone that projected the image of Wu Xi and Yu Sheng fighting near the cave where Cheng Sheng is.

"… then Fu An and Xiong Si?" someone asked.

"… Fu An and Xiong Si are also there." Somebody answered and they saw Fu An and Xiong Si are fighting alongside the Shanliangde Sect disciple.

"Then… who is this fifth gray light?" a sect leader asked. "The sixth light in the forest…" he muttered as they stared at the six moving lights inside the forest.

"… elder Zheng said earlier… that a contestant might be a demonic cultivator…" they said.

"All of the contestants are recognized by the Cleansing Stone before they pass through it." Someone said.

"So, the demonic cultivator must be recognized by the Cleansing Stone as a contestant…" they looked at each other.

"Then… this fifth gray light – " someone said.

" – the sixth light in the forest area…" somebody said.

"… is the demonic cultivator!" they exclaimed as they stared with burning gaze at the gray light. "A rogue cultivator… who could it be?" they asked.

"Hey, look!" somebody suddenly exclaimed as he pointed. "A light is moving fast towards the gray light!" he said.

They all turned and saw it was a brown light. Li Nanzi's pupils shrank. "That's…!" he muttered and stared at Xiao Le who were fighting alongside the Xinfaxian Sect. If Xiao Le is there, then it could only be – "Kang Ce!" he cried as he rose from his seat. However, he can't do anything since Kang Ce is inside the secret realm while they, outside, can't go inside. They can only helplessly watch as the brown and gray light collided.

Fortunately, Kang Ce was accompanied by an Alliance's disciple and so they could see Kang Ce's situation. They saw Kang Ce immediately was on the defensive when he saw something jumped at him.

"Not good! The other eldest disciples can't come to his aid since they don't know Kang Ce's situation!" a sect leader said. Zheng Yi and the other Alliance's disciple are outside the forest, so it would take a long time for the people there to aid Kang Ce.

"Oh, no! Look!" someone said when they saw Kang Ce's neck was scratched! Blood gushed out of Kang Ce's neck!

"Kang Ce!" Li Nanzi cried in horror when he saw Kang Ce took a couple of steps back. The Alliance's disciple with him was frantically trying to contact Zheng Yi and the others, but he was too flustered and he dropped the Cleansing Stone!

Inside the secret realm, Kang Ce saw the Alliance's disciple searching through the grasses. "Idiot!" he called and pulled him.

Outside the secret realm, everyone gasped. "Is he going to use him to block the demonic cultivator's attack?!" they exclaimed.

However, it wasn't it. Kang Ce pulled back the Alliance's disciple and took the demonic cultivator's claw. The demonic cultivator's nails dug deep into his arm he used to block!

"KANG CE!" Li Nanzi was itching to go inside the realm.

"Not good! The demonic cultivator is sucking his blood!" someone exclaimed as they watched with wide eyes Kang Ce's right arm started to dry up as he lost his blood.

"Wait! It's not over!" someone said when they saw the qi from the surroundings gathered and went into Kang Ce's body!

"A Healing Spell!" Su Yuan exclaimed. "It's Cheng Sheng! He's healing everyone!" he said when they saw the others' wounds are also being healed.

"Kang Ce!" Li Nanzi called and sighed in relief when he saw Kang Ce regained his strength and he cut off the demonic cultivator's arm!

"KAAAAAR!" the demonic cultivator howled and kicked Kang Ce! Kang Ce's body flew into the air. However, before he did, he grabbed the Alliance's disciple with him. If the Alliance's disciple would have been left there... he would be killed by the demonic cultivator for sure! 

Both of them flew out of the crowns of trees and disappeared.

Inside the secret realm, a loud thud can be heard!

"What…" Li Tian said and turned.

"SHIXIONG!" Xiao Le cried when he saw Kang Ce, together with the Alliance's disciple, were lying on the ground. "Shixiong!" he cried as he ran towards Kang Ce and saw the demonic cultivator's arm is still stuck on Kang Ce's arm. "Shixiong! Shixiong!" he called as he tried to wake him up. Then, he took out the magic pills and potions to fed them all to Kang Ce.

Zheng Yi and the others went to the unconscious Alliance's disciple and checked his condition. "A few broken bones from the impact of their fall…" he muttered as they wrapped bandages on the unconscious Alliance's disciple that had been with Kang Ce. "Relay a message to the people who're inside the forest!" he told the Alliance's disciples. "Be more careful! The demonic cultivator is – " he said before he gasped when he saw the head of the Alliance's disciple beside him fell in front of him.

"ZHENG YI!!!" Jing Bai called as he immediately pushed Zheng Yi down. "Ugh!" he cried when his back was cut!

Zheng Yi's eyes widened as he stared at the demonic cultivator that suddenly appeared before them.

"Everyone! Run!" Jing Kang yelled when they saw the demonic qi surrounding the demonic cultivator. "Keh!" he cried as he threw talismans on the demonic cultivator to buy them time. Then, he pulled Jing Bai and Zheng Yi together and ran! Such strength he is hiding came out now as he pulled the two people!

"Ah Lin!" Jing Hei called as he pulled Qian Lin.

"Feng-shidi! Xiao Le and Kang Ce!" Li Tian told Feng Mo.

"Shixiong…!" Xiao Le was crying over Kang Ce.

"Tsk!" Sun Yi clicked his tongue and grabbed the unconscious Kang Ce while Feng Mo grabbed Xiao Le and they ran towards the cave where Cheng Sheng is.

"Into the cave!" Guo Cheng told his fellow disciples.

"Follow them!" Gong Xian told Xi Xing, Fu An and Xiong Si as they all ran towards the cave surrounded by the array.

Jing Hei was about to reach the cave when he turned and his eyes widened. He pushed Qian Lin inside. "AH KANG!" he screamed when he saw the demonic cultivator ran after them!

Jing Kang turned and his pupils shrank when he saw the demonic cultivator appeared behind them. "Ha!" he gasped as he immediately threw Jing Bai and Zheng Yi and then created a wall of talismans between him and the demonic cultivator.

BOOM! A loud noise can be heard as the ground shook from the impact.
