Chapter 26: The Scum Is Wanted

Their eyes went wide. "What?!" Wu Fan said, his brows knit. "No way!" he said. "We won't ask for their help!" he said.

"Fan." Chen Jing called, his face now serious. "It is the matter of life and death here. Not only Sheng-er, not only Han-er, but also Ming-xiong, Luo-xiong, Yi-er, and your son Yuan-er are in danger. Only elder Fei Huang can beat the enemy." He explained. "So why don't you want to ask help from elder Fei?" he asked and frowned.

Xie Lan turned to Wu Fan. "Yin-er is elder Fan's second nephew. Even if he won't acknowledge Yin-er, I will gladly treat this as I owe to them." He said, serious. He turned to Fan Wen. "Let's go and rest." He told Fan Wen.

Fan Wen nodded. "Okay." He said. He helped Xie Lan up. Then, he looked at Wu Fan, worried. "We'll be excusing ourselves. Chen-shixiong. Wu-shixiong." He told them and bowed. Then, they left.

"Fan." Chen Jing called. "Now, there's only two of us here. Can't you tell me?" he asked.

Wu Fan didn't answer. He turned his back on Chen Jing. His face is red.

Shanliang, Shanliangde Sect.

"The Youxiwang Sect was also attacked?" Fei Huang said after he heard Mu Jun's report. Then, his brows knit. "How did you know this?" he asked.

Mu Jun shrugged. "I have my connections." He answered.

"Hmph." Fei Huang said. "Youxiwang Sect… Wu Fan?" he said.

"What, Huang. You're cheating on me, now?" Mu Jun frowned as he looked at Fei Huang.

A vein popped in Fei Huang's forehead. He glared at Mu Jun. "Don't lump me in with you who likes to eat a young grass." He told him.

"Then, what do you mean by Wu Fan?" Mu Jun asked.

Fei Huang sighed. "I just remembered when he and Chen Jing were my students." He said.

"Why? What did they do?" Mu Jun asked.

"Not them. Only Wu Fan." Fei Huang said, his shoulders relaxed.

"What did the Youxiwang sect leader do?" Mu Jun asked, curious.

"I saw him secretly kissing Chen Jing who is sleeping." Fei Huang answered, amused.

Mu Jun's eyes went wide. Then, he laughed. He held his stomach. "Oh~ this is really interesting." He said. "I heard they were like fire and water in the Youxiwang Sect." he said. "Surprisingly, there's no internal conflict, eh."

Fei Huang's brows knit. "Why didn't I hear of this?" he asked.

"Why, you ask. Aren't you the Shanliangde sect people living here like monks?" Mu Jun said. "Ah." He said and his hand holding the teapot froze. The next moment, he was kicked away by Fei Huang. He landed on the next mountain.

Dongxin Town.

"Tch. Not enough." Cheng Sheng clicked his tongue as he watched the new Cleansing Talisman burned after it ate the demonic qi. He turned to the others who are resting, replenishing their energy. However, they cannot replenish their qi since the whole east was blanket with demonic qi. That is why earlier, they only fought through martial arts and talismans. Even though they wanted to use spells, but spells also consumes their power. Even if it's just a little, but they needed to save qi as much as possible.

He took out the crushed jade talismans on his sachet. They were the talismans that broke after consuming the aura emanated by the elders when they were still in the Youxiwang Sect. He scattered it around them for them to consume. The gloomy atmosphere slowly disappeared and was replaced by a relaxed one.

"Cheng-shidi." Li Tian called after he meditated. "Those are…" he said, looking at the crushed jade talismans on his sachet, then the white powder on the ground.

"I have no use of these, but you can." Cheng Sheng said and gave them to Li Tian. "It might come in handy later." He said.

Li Tian nodded. "Thank you." He said and took the sachet.

Cheng Sheng sat beside him and looked at the others meditating. "I feel like you are escorting me." He said. "I am the princess and you are my guards." He added.

Li Tian laughed. "Then, I am honored to be your guard." He told Cheng Sheng. They looked at each other and laughed. "But, I really wonder what should we do now." He said and looked at the others. "There are too many corpses." He frowned and looked outside of the dilapidated they were in.

It was already dark. However, the night became darker because of the demonic qi surrounding the land. They don't need to lit a lamp since their sense of sight as cultivators are sharpened.

"I remembered." Cheng Sheng said. "Sect leader Wu's words." He said. "The day turned into night, and the night became darker. It is because of demonic qi. And that's what's happening now." He raised his head. Even though he is a cultivator, but his level is low so he can't see his surroundings. He only relies on his instinct to survive. "Won't you agree?" he asked and rose from the ground. When he didn't hear an answer, he walked outside the building. There, he was met with the familiar sight of the Xinfaxian.

For some reason, he was suddenly in the Xinfaxian.

Dongxin Town.

"Li-shixiong! Li-shixiong! Wake up!" Li Tian heard Feng Mo's voice.

Li Tian slowly opened his eyes and saw the lamp casting an orange light around them. "What…" he said and rubbed his eyes.

"Li-shixiong! Cheng-shidi is missing!" Feng Mo said, urgency in his voice.

Li Tian suddenly was wide awake. "What?!" he said and sat up. Doing so, a sachet fell from his lap and touched the ground with a soft thud. He turned and saw it was the sachet Cheng Sheng gave him.

"This white powder is familiar… it's emitting qi." Sun Yi said as he touched the white powder that surrounds their group.

Something lit up in Li Tian's brain. He immediately opened the sachet. There, he saw the same white powder. "It's Cheng-shidi!" he answered and he rose.

"What?" Luo Shi said.

"You know where Ah Sheng is?" Chen Han asked.

Li Tian shook his head and showed them the sachet. "I don't know how. But, I remember that Cheng-shidi gave me this sachet." He said.

"But, you woke up later than us." Wu Yuan said.

Li Tian shook his head. "I don't know. But this is what I remember." He told them and looked at the sachet on his hand.

"Tell us what you remember." Ming Ye patiently said.

Li Tian nodded. "I remembered. We all rested. Cheng-shidi was testing the new Cleansing Talisman." he said. "Then, he walked towards me and gave me this sachet." He explained.

"How…" Luo Shi said, then sighed. He rubbed his temple.

Li Tian bit his lip and lowered his head. "He said, this sachet may be used later." He told them and looked at the white powder inside the sachet.

They looked at each other. What Cheng Sheng said is important. The sachet might really have some use. They looked at the white powder on the ground surrounding them. "This white powder might be the reason why we are clear-headed." Fei Yin said. "Cheng-shidi might have noticed the demonic qi surrounding us. He figured it will muddle our brain, thus he set up this… barrier." He said, then looked at Li Tian. "Li-shidi has the weakest martial arts in us, and his body is weaker than us. He is more susceptible, that is why Cheng-shidi left the sachet on him." He explained.

"That makes sense." Chen Han said.

Li Tian sighed in relief. He was pressured by their aura earlier when he was suspected. "Then, where is Cheng-shidi now?" Sun Yi asked.

There was a silence. "I find this odd." Ming Ye suddenly said.

"Why?" Luo Shi said.

Ming Ye turned to him. "Usually, if you encounter the enemy, it should be the strongest who you'll first eliminate." He said.

"But, you can also pick at the weakest persimmon." Luo Shi disagreed.

"That's a dirty tactic." Ming Ye said.

"The demonic faction always plays dirty tricks." Luo Shi shrugged.

Despite the discussion, they still can't think where Cheng Sheng can be. Did he already die?
