The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 401 - The Scum Is Pleased 



"Please forgive us, Chen patriarch, former sect leader Wu. We've been disrespectful." Xi Ming spoke and bowed. 

Shu Mu, Xi Xing and Xiao Le followed. 

"And, thank you for saving us earlier." Shu Mu added. 

This answers Wu Fan and Chen Jing's question. Xi Ming, Xi Xing, Shu Mu and Xiao Le were convinced that they were the real Chen Jing and Wu Fan. 

Chen Jing chuckled while Wu Fan smiled. "You've all become smart. Good, good…" Wu Fan nodded, feeling pleased. 

"Chen patriarch. Former sect leader Wu. How did you get here?" Shu Mu asked. "The Heilong Realm is in the southmost…" he said. 

The Sand Sea Mountain in the Southmost Region is where the main Ni Lai Gate is located. 

Suddenly, he froze when he realized something. "Its destination is random?!" he exclaimed and looked at Chen Jing and Wu Fan.

Chen Jing nodded, confirming his thought. "Yes." He answered. "The Ni Lai Gate where Fan and I passed through is located in the center of the Heilong Realm. If the Heilong Realm follows the structure of the Huilong Continent, Fan and I should've appeared in the Zhongyang." He said. 

They were stunned. They didn't know that this is how the Ni Lai Gates work. But, even if they know it now, but it's not as if that they were going to try it to confirm Chen Jing's words, whether the destination is really random. 

"Right." Xi Ming started when he remembered something. "Did sect leader really tell you to go to the Heilong Realm?" he asked. 

Hearing his question, the atmosphere suddenly turned serious. 

"Yes. It was really teacher Fei." Wu Fan nodded. 

"How about Wu Ran?" Xi Xing asked.

Wu Fan turned to him. "It was when I was 'kidnapped' by Mu Jun, on my way back to Xiwang after the matter of the Xinfaxian Sect being attacked was settled." He answered. 

They were stunned. "That long?!" they exclaimed. 

Wu Fan nodded. "Among the sects, only the Youxiwang Sect was attacked the most." He said. 

Everyone fell silent. 

"It's because Wu Ran was testing the security in the Youxiwang Sect, for him to turn it into his base in the future." Chen Jing spoke. And it really came true. 

"Then… why…" Xi Ming muttered as his face paled. "Sect leader already knew that elder Ming is Wu Ran. Why didn't he tell everyone?" he asked. "And… why should he still send you to the Heilong Realm… but the Wu and Chen families were…" he said and covered his mouth. 

"What? What happened to the Wu family and Chen clan?" Chen Jing asked. 

Xi Ming's face became paler as he forced himself to face Chen Jing. Fei Huang is their sect leader, and, as a disciple of Shanliangde Sect, he has to bear this responsibility their sect leader did. 

"The Wu family and Chen clan… were all dead." He answered in a shaking voice. 

Silence. Shu Mu, Xiao Le and Xi Xing didn't dare breathe loudly because of the pressure coming from Wu Fan and Chen Jing. 

"Do you think we're stupid?" Wu Fan asked. 

"Huh?" they muttered, confused, and raised their head to look at him. The pressure just now suddenly disappeared. "What do you mean?" they asked, puzzled. 

But, Wu Fan just smiled. He looked at Chen Jing who chuckled. "It's starting." They both said. 

West, Xiwang, Youxiwang Sect. 

Everyone has just stepped inside the Youxiwang Sect to treat their wounds and rest when suddenly, the ground shook violently. Because of the tremors, the already dilapidated building became more ruined. 

"W-w-what's happening?!" Tang Yun asked as he immediately grabbed Tang Zhe. Tang Zhe wrapped his arm around him to steady themselves. 

Shan Lu held Guo Cheng while Wu Yuan held Sun Yi. Fortunately, Wu Xi who has no one to cling onto reacted fast and leaned on the nearest tree. 

Wu Yuan suddenly felt something inside his body beat. He felt his blood from his wound earlier slipped down the side of his face, and a drop fell to the ground. He looked down and watched the drop of his blood moved, then suddenly ran towards the teleportation array. 

"Is that – " Sun Yi spoke as they all watch the drop of blood reached the teleportation array. Then, they all raised their hand to shield their eyes when a blinding light flashed after the whole teleportation array lit up. 

The Huakai Sect disciples weren't present before when Cheng Sheng took a drop of blood each from Wu Yuan and Chen Han to awaken the teleportation array of the Youxiwang Sect. Only Sun Yi witnessed it so he felt the scene familiar. 

"It must be." Wu Yuan said and ran to the teleportation array. 

The others immediately followed. 

Wu Yuan stopped at the center of the teleportation array. "My blood dropped. Da shixiong must have also spilled his blood here before, though unintentionally, when I, Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng left him here to stall Wu Ran." He explained. 

They all understood. For Chen Han to be left in the Youxiwang Sect, which turned to Wu Ran's base, Chen Han must have been beaten by Wu Ran. And, coincidentally, his blood must have spilled here. But, that time, Wu Yuan wasn't present, so the teleportation array didn't awaken, until now. 

Everyone waited with bated breaths as the light slowly died down. Then, they suddenly heard the chattering of the people. They all sharply turned, only to be shocked to see the citizens of the Xiwang who were supposedly die appeared! Although some of them looked pale and has injuries, but they are alive! 

They stared at them, stunned. "What… is happening?" Tang Zhe asked as he, Tang Yun, Guo Cheng, Shan Lu and Wu Xi moved closer to Sun Yi and then Wu Yuan who stood in the center of the teleportation array. "An illusion?" he asked. 

"It… shouldn't be…?" Sun Yi asked, uncertain. He turned to look at Wu Yuan, who is as stunned as them. 

"Yuan-er?" a voice called. 

Wu Yuan sharply turned, only to be shocked to see his grandfather together with the Chen clan. They were supposed to be dead! "You… are alive?" he asked under his breath. 

"En." His grandfather answered. 

"How…?" Wu Yuan felt speechless. His mind can't process what is happening. 

"I guess that Fei Huang won." Chen Fu answered as he combed his beard. 

"Sect leader Fei? Why? How - ?" Wu Yuan looked at them in askance. 

His grandfather sighed. "This will be a long explaining." He said and looked at Chen Fu. Chen Fu nodded. 

Wu Yuan, Sun Yi, Tang Zhe, Tang Yun, Guo Cheng, Shan Lu and Wu Xi can only stare at them stupidly while the citizens of Xiwang cheered loudly behind them because of their successful return! 

North, Shanliang. 

Gong Xian wiped the sweat off of his forehead and caught a paper that flew towards him. He turned it over and saw a name, along with eight characters. "This is…" he muttered. Suddenly, he felt the ground is shaking. 

East, Xinfaxian. 

"Everyone, look!" a Huli Sect disciple exclaimed and pointed. 

Kang Ce turned and looked outside the barrier surrounding Xinfaxian made my Cheng Sheng. They had just finished killing all the demonic cultivators in the east yesterday. But, today, they saw incoming waves of people. 

"What the…" he muttered as they stared at the people coming their way. He was stunned. Where did they come from?! 

Central, Zhongyang. 

"WAAAAH!!!! Elder Zheng! Elder Pai! What's with all these papers?!" they heard the disciples of the Righteous Alliance exclaimed in fright when a strong gust of wind suddenly blew and many pieces of paper with names and eight characters written flew towards them. 

But, Zheng Fu Gong's and Pai Lie's faces wore a complicated expression. "This…" they both muttered and looked at each other. "Our memories were missing and returned just now?!" they asked. 

Then, afar, they saw a bright light shone in the plaza where the opening ceremony of the Intersect competition was held. It was the teleportation array activating. 

South, Nanshu. 

"What… what is starting?!" Shu Mu and the others asked. But, before Wu Fan and Chen Jing could answer them, they felt the ground shook! 

"They're here." They heard both Wu Fan and Chen Jing spoke with a smile. 

Southmost Region, Shashan Pass. 

"The Twin Sand Mounds are over there!" Lei Ling pointed when he saw two giant shadows afar. "We've finally reached the Shashan Pass!" he exclaimed, feeling happy. 

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, feeling relieved. After a toiling journey, they've finally reached their destination. 

But, suddenly, they heard someone cried, followed by another. They all turned, only to see Xie Lan, Fan Wen, Jing Rui, Qian Tian, Fei Lin and Xi Ling were holding their temples, and are doubling over in pain! 

Heilong Realm, Yao City. 

"As expected, Ma Wen is here." Shang He frowned after they just killed a group of people. 

Meng Gui nodded. "Let's go directly to the Yingyi Palace!" he said. 

But, they heard Fei Yin cried in alarm. 

"Sheng! What's wrong?" Fei Yin asked when he saw Cheng Sheng touching his head. His face is pale and he is sweating. His face contorted with pain.
