The Scum Is A ***

Everyone's face is dark as they watched the array beneath them disappeared. They catch their breath after they felt their body has been hollowed out. 

"Hmm… there's really none who has a heart demon, nor demonic qi in their body." Cheng Sheng said as he placed is fingers on his chin while he looked at them inside the Acute Array. 

"…" the Alliance's elders who already expected for this to happen. Jing Xian's expression is dark, but his eyes are shining in schadenfreude. 

"Cheng… Sheng…" the contestants called as they glared at Cheng Sheng. However, they still felt weak. 

Cheng Sheng's brow raised. "What?" he said. "The Acute Array and Acute Barrier has to examine one's body for it to evaluate it. Even the demonic cultivator who I caught before also experienced this." He explained. 

"…" they felt pity for the demonic cultivator. 

"Also, you didn't ask me of the process, thus I didn't explain." Cheng Sheng added. 

"…" do we have to ask you every time? They thought. 

Seeing their expression, Cheng Sheng lowered his gaze. "Alright. I forgot." He told them. 

"…" can we hit him? They gave up the thought when they saw Yu Sheng, Chen Han and Fei Yin are glaring at them while Wu Xi and Sun Yi are watching them. They saw Sun Yi's bright smile and felt a chill ran down their spine. They can't help but envy Cheng Sheng who has the best guards. 

"…" Fei Yin, Yu Sheng, Chen Han, Sun Yi and Wu Xi who haven't been informed by Cheng Sheng and currently experiencing a thrilling feeling of high and low. Li Tian and Feng Mo's face is pale and they almost kissed the floor because they felt weakened. 

Gong Xian and Xi Xing are now literally kissing the floor after Gong Xian was caught off-guard when his qi was being sucked and he fainted and Xi Xing immediately collapsed. Xi Ming and Tang Zhe are sweating profusely while Tang Yun is forcing himself. Shan Lu and Guo Cheng are holding each other's arm to support each other while Jing Hei and Jing Bai's expression is ugly. Qian Lin was sprawled on the floor while Jing Cheng has the best condition and is only pale. Kang Ce, like Gong Xian, was caught off-guard and he felt his body currently can't move. 

"Will they be okay?" Zheng Fu Gong asked Cheng Sheng while Jing Xian and Su Yuan immediately helped the contestants and heal them. Qi Ling also had helped. 

"Yes." Cheng Sheng answered. "The Acute Array only borrowed their qi to examine it, then – " he said and looked at them whose face immediately went green and red. " – also immediately return it to them." He said.

A collective sound of vomiting can be heard in the Alliance when the contestants retched after they felt the sudden gush of the qi inside their body. 

"…" Zheng Fu Gong who felt deceived. 

"…" Qi Ling and Su Yuan who had been vomited on. Jing Xian's face is so dark he's about to explode. Meanwhile, Pai Lie felt complicated. 

"CHENG SHENG!" they called. 

"What?" Cheng Sheng innocently blinked. "I was about to explain but I kept being interrupted – oops!" he exclaimed when they all drew their sword and started attacking him. 

Jing Cheng and Kang Ce are in the lead together with Jing Hei and Tang Yun. Immediately, Fei Yin intercepted Jing Cheng while Yu Sheng effortlessly intercepted Kang Ce. Chen Han and Wu Xi intercepted Jing Hei and Tang Yun while Sun Yi, Feng Mo and Li Tian eyed Tang Zhe, Jing Bai and Qian Lin. Gong Xian and Xi Xing are still sleeping and Xi Ming helplessly woke them while Jing Kang, Guo Cheng and Shan Lu just acted as spectators. 

"Cheng… Sheng!" Jing Xian and Qi Ling roared and joined in the fray. 

Cheng Sheng, who was free after being protected by his brother and friends, immediately intercepted the two elders' attacks with talismans and spells. Zheng Fu Gong, Pai Lie and Su Yuan were shocked. "Elder Jing! Elder Qi!" they called to stop the two elders of the Alliance. 

In the middle of the capital, the Righteous Alliance's roof broke and something exploded! Everyone outside turned and saw three people came out of the broken roof and landed on the roof! 

"You called me?" Cheng Sheng smiled. "What's this? I kindheartedly helped you to not waste resources, yet you attack a mere disciple like me." He said as he looked at Jing Xian and Qi Ling. 

"We can't let you insult us any longer!" the two said as they raised their hands in an attacking position. 

"What's going on?!" Jing Rui arrived together with the other sect leaders. 

"Elder Jing! Elder Qi! And, Cheng Sheng?!" they exclaimed when they saw the three above after they broke through the spectating crowd. 

"Xiao Sheng!" Xie Lan called. 

"Jing Cheng!" Jing Rui exclaimed when he saw Jing Cheng fighting against Fei Yin. 

"Yin-er!" Fei Huang called. 

"What is happening…? They're all fighting!" the crowd exclaimed. Jing Hei and Feng Mo are in a stalemate like Qian Lin and Li Tian while Chen Han and Jing Bai, and Sun Yi and Tang Zhe had finally started fighting. 

"I heard what Cheng Sheng said! He helped the Alliance again, but these ungrateful geezers started to fight him!" someone who arrived earlier has explained. 

"WHAT?!" the crowd gasped in shock. 

"Amazing…" some people can't help but exclaim in awe as they watched everyone fought. "The last stage has still hasn't started yet now, here they are…" he said. 

"Cheng Sheng's more amazing! Just look at him holding against Jing Xian and Qi Ling!" somebody said as they pointed the 1 vs. 2 fight. 

"A mage against mages! Cheng Sheng respects the two elders by fighting against them as a mage… and only using talismans and spell like what the two are using! Amazing!" someone was stunned. 

"ENOUGH!" Xie Lan yelled as he flew towards Jing Xian and Qi Ling. "How dare you bully my disciple?!" he roared. His voice is filled with anger as he protected Cheng Sheng from them by blocking him from Jing Xian and Qi Ling's sight. 

"Your disciple is insulting us!" Jing Xian said. 

"It wasn't even me who vomited on you two. How can you accuse me?!" Cheng Sheng retorted. He won't let himself be wronged. 

"You always make us look like a joke! What are your intentions?!" Qi Ling asked Cheng Sheng. 

"I only want to live my life peacefully. How can you rob it from me?!" Cheng Sheng said. 

"'peacefully'?! You're doing what's opposite of it!" Jing Xian told him. 

"'opposite'?!" Cheng Sheng said and his voice finally raised. He pushed Xie Lan out of the way as he glared at Jing Xian and Qi Ling with a proud expression. "You still do not know I can raise hell if I want to, so don't you dare say I am making a ruckus here!" he said through his gritted teeth. 

Everyone finally stopped fighting and turned to him in shock. 

"For ten years I hid myself, yet I was forced to come out and my peace was disrupted just because I helped." Cheng Sheng said with a cold expression on his face. His eyes now lacked emotions. "If I would, I could've made myself known by the whole world since before. Yet I didn't. You're asking for my intentions?" he asked as he looked at Qi Ling who was startled by his sharp gaze. "I don't need fame nor honor." He said as he removed his mage belt from his waist and threw it. 

Everyone gasped in surprise. Pai Lie immediately ran to catch Cheng Sheng's mage belt. 

"I only need my family and my friends and live with them peacefully. If you'd ask me what I regretted the most, it's coming here and meet new people." Cheng Sheng said before he drew his sword and flew away on Xiao Ling. His back looked desolate. 

"Cheng Sheng…" Zheng Fu Gong called. 

"Xiao Sheng!" Xie Lan called as he immediately followed his disciple. Chen Han, Sun Yi, Fei Yin, Li Tian, Feng Mo, Yu Sheng and Wu Xi flew after Cheng Sheng and Xie Lan. 

Pai Lie sighed in relief when Cheng Sheng's mage belt was caught by a branch, giving him time to run for it. "Elder Jing! Elder Qi!" he yelled as he teleported to them. 

Meanwhile, Jing Rui and the other sect leaders immediately scared away the crowd before going to the Alliance's elders to talk. 

Zheng Fu Gong's face is dark. "Let's go inside first." He told Jing Xian and Qi Ling while Su Yuan followed behind him together with Pai Lie who glared at them two. 

Jing Rui and the sect leaders has just arrived to see the five elders left. They've got no choice but to wait. They checked for their disciples' condition first. 

"Jing Cheng. Tell me what happened." Jing Rui said. He immediately gave them a magic pill to heal them. 

"Son. Are you alright?" Qian Shan worriedly asked as he approached Qian Lin. 

"I'm fine. I didn't fight." Qian Lin answered which made Qian Shan relieved. 

"Xi Ming. How are you and your fellow disciples?" Fei Huang asked. 

"Sect leader. The Shanliangde Sect didn't participate." Xi Ming answered and sighed. 

"You've done the right thing." Fei Huang told Xi Ming as he turned to Li Nanzi and Tang Teng.
