Chapter 258: The Scum Is Rational

Ming Ye watched his tear fell and soaked Luo Shi's clothes before drying. "Luo Shi…" he called. "Do you think I'll grant you your wish? Maybe if you didn't choose to die, I might have granted it. But – " his eyes narrowed as he held Luo Shi's hand tight. " – I won't let you. I won't let you!" he said before he carefully placed Luo Shi's hand on the bed and stormed out of his room. 

"My Lord!" a subordinate cried. 

"Where's Wu Yuan?" he asked. 

"Still at the prison." The subordinate answered. 

Ming Ye left, but a smile was on his face. If that is Luo Shi's wish, then why can he not wish for it, too? If Luo Shi wanted to trade for his life in exchange for the sect and the world, why can't he trade for it, too?

The door opened and he saw Wu Yuan was hang on the wall with his limbs and neck. His body is full of wounds, and he's also suffering in internal injuries. His hair is in a disarray, and he looked so filthy after not taking a bath for more than a week. His clothes are also torn. 

"I can offer you a deal." Ming Ye told him. 

Wu Yuan slowly raised his head. 

Zhongyang, Central Region. 

At the closed gates, a group of demonic cultivators arrived. "Had any luck?" one of the guards asked as the group approached. 

The leader of the group clicked his tongue. "Those bastards are so fierce, we've got a hard time killing them. Why resist when you already know what awaits is death?" he shook his head and patted the guard's shoulder before striding in. 

The guard felt intimidated after he saw the subordinates following their leader are radiating killing intent. They immediately looked away. Even though they are demonic cultivators, but they differed in rank. Like them, the guards, they are the foot soldiers. One rank higher than them are the demonic cultivators that can absorb and control the negative qi. Higher than them are the ones who can absorb and control demonic qi. Of course, in each rank, there's a big difference. However, between the negative qi and the demonic qi, there's a vast difference. 

The guards believed that the ones who just arrived are the demonic cultivators of the third rank – they can control demonic qi. They shuddered in fear and resumed guarding the gates. 

They didn't know that the ones that just entered the Zhongyang, their expression became even more murderous as they looked around. The Zhongyang had undergone a tremendous change in just two weeks. Everywhere, you can see a demonic cultivator, even just in a corner. There are still ordinary people left, but to do menial tasks. 

The ones the demonic cultivators killed first are the wealthy people to steal their riches. They left the ordinary people to work for them. Like in one of the inns, a waitress was being molested in broad daylight. If it were the righteous cultivators around, the waitress would have already been saved. However, the demonic cultivators are around instead of the righteous cultivators. Instead of saving the waitress, they instead casted lascivious gazes at her, thinking when can it be their turn next with her. 

The waitress who could only silently wept hang her head in shame as her clothes were slowly torn by the demonic cultivator teasing her. She doesn't know how many days has it been since her nightmare started. However, she knows, there's now a life inside her belly. 

Her eyes reddened further and, from nowhere, she took out a knife and stabbed herself in the stomach. I'm sorry, my child… she thought as her body fell on the floor and stained it with her blood. Even if you were conceived from a sin, I wish for you to have a better life than your life after you will be born. You will never live peacefully if you will be born in this world, so, I wish for you to be born in another world, with a peaceful environment. 

She slowly closed her eyes and a tear fell, mixing with her blood on the floor. 

The group of seven that just arrived closed their eyes in silence at the injustice before them. The laughter of the demonic cultivators ringing in their ears. 

"Let's go." Their leader said and they walked upstairs where they had booked some rooms for themselves. They can still hear the laughter of the demonic cultivators below. 

One of them finally can't hold back anymore and was about to go back and deal with those demonic cultivators, but one of his peers stopped him. "Leave it." He told him. 

They silently proceeded and entered a room, only to see a cloaked man waiting for them inside. His cloak hid his appearance, and his aura is subtle. However, with the high-level experts their group are, they could identify that the one before them is a righteous cultivator. 

"You finally arrived." The righteous cultivator spoke. 

"Fourth young master Jing." The leader of the group said. 

Jing Kang nodded and pulled down the hood of his cloak. "Thank you for hard work, second young master Chen." He said. 

The leader of the group, Cheng Sheng, grinned as he turned to the others. "Fortunately, You-shimei isn't procrastinating and learned to be smarter." he said after their face returned to their original face. "Not only our bearing and clothes are eye-catching, btu also our face value!" he said.

Jing Kang and the others. "…" whatever you say. 

Jing Kang recovered his calm while Li Tian locked the door. "Qi Ling is going crazy." He said. "He is pushing the blame on your head." He told Cheng Sheng. 

Cheng Sheng shrugged. "I'm used to it." He said as he sat down on a chair while the others could only feel helpless because of his carefree attitude. 

However, they already expected this outcome to happen since they destroyed their Cleansing Stones that acted as the sign for the demonic cultivators to invade Zhongyang. Everything is coincidental, or just well-planned. 

"How is your sect?" Fei Yin asked. 

Jing Kang sighed. "On the last rescue, uncle was injured." He answered. "The elders of the sect are pulling themselves to not lower the morale of everyone. Fortunately, sect leader Xie is there, as well as young master Zuo." He explained. 

Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin, Li Tian and Feng Mo sighed in relief while Chen Han and Sun Yi finally felt better. However, upon hearing Zuo Zhe's name, Yu Sheng's expression changed. 

"Oh, right." Feng Mo said as if he remembered something. "Yu-ge's finally returned. You still haven't seen young master Zuo, right?" he asked as he turned to Yu Sheng. 

"Yes." Yu Sheng and answered and forced a smile. "I want to give him a surprise." He told him. 

Li Tian smiled while Feng Mo grinned. Sun Yi whistled with a grin while Chen Han laughed and patted Yu Sheng's back. Only Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng knows the truth: Yu Sheng has a problem with Zuo Zhe. However, they didn't say anything and just remained silent. 

"Then, let's go to Yunxiao Inn." Jing Kang said. 

"Yes." They nodded. 

Xinfaxian Sect, Xinfaxian, East. 

"It's not like I want to become a cultivator, that's why I know some about the cultivation world." Qie Shi said as they ate lunch. He has finally become clear-headed after Wu Xi gave him a bottle of Spring of Life. 

"Then…" You Rou said. 

"I am a thief. Naturally, I had to gather information around me to look for my next target." Qie Shi explained. 

"Then, now…" Lei Ling said. 

"Of course, he'll become my wife!" Sun Rong said as he sat beside Qie Shi. 

Qie Shi's face immediately blushed as he scooted away from Sun Rong as if he was burned when their skin touched. "Go away!" he told him. "I am being muddle-headed before! You pervert!" he said as he glared at Sun Rong. 

Everyone laughed. No one took it seriously, since they can see that even if Sun Rong looked like joking, but he really liked Qie Shi. Qie Shi, even though he's refusing Sun Rong's advances, he is attracted to Sun Rong. Furthermore, even if he had already given half of the bottle of the Spring of Life to Sun Rong as a form of gratitude, he looked like he isn't prepared to cut relations with Sun Rong. In which Sun Rong took for granted Qie Shi's reluctance. 

Lei Ling smiled when, suddenly, he groaned in pain. "Ugh!" he cried as he held his head when he thought it was about to split into two. 

"Ah Ling!" Lei Qing cried and immediately caught her younger brother who collapsed from his seat. "Ah Ling! What's wrong?" she asked. 

"Jie… I – " Lei Ling spoke before he gasped when suddenly the scene changed before him. "This is - !" he muttered under his breath when he saw the familiar place. " – the Righteous Alliance?!" he exclaimed. 

Then, he heard a chuckle. 

"Qi Ling!" Lei Ling exclaimed in shock.
