The Scum Is A ***

Wu Ran immediately recovered from his shock after seeing Chen Han wasn't controlled. Then, he turned to look at the Millennium Ship, and then his gaze locked in on Cheng Sheng's figure. "CHENG! SHENG!!!" he roared. "So, you still aren't dead! You didn't die!!!" he gnashed his teeth in anger and his seemingly bottomless power making him inexhaustible surged. 

Ho Yue, Fei Lin, Chen Han, Wu Yuan and Sun Yi immediately retreated, but not very far from Wu Ran since they are on guard in case Wu Ran would attack Cheng Sheng, who has now become weak. 

As they expected, Wu Ran really went to kill Cheng Sheng! But, how can Chen Han allow it? So, he, along with Wu Yuan and Sun Yi, blocked Wu Ran and Ho Yue and Fei Lin reacted by striking Wu Ran! Although it pains Chen Han to see his formerly shifu Ming Ye's face looked wretched in hatred and is now attacking him, but he now knows that the inside has changed. 

Ming Ye is now Wu Ran, who has to be killed to restore the peace in Huilong. 

"WHAT?! Cheng-shidi is awake?!" Feng Mo and Lei Qing, who didn't know this truth, turned to look at the descended Millennium Ship and stared at Cheng Sheng, wide-eyed. "Cheng-shidi…" they muttered, shocked. 

"Cheng-shixiong!" Xiao Le exclaimed and his tears fell when he saw Cheng Sheng. 

"Cheng Sheng!" Shu Mu and Kang Ce were also surprised. 

Gong Xian was just silent to the side and is closely watching Ho Yue. Meanwhile, Xi Ling sighed in relief, though his shoulders are still tensed because Fei Lin is currently fighting. But, as long as Cheng Sheng is awake, Xie Lan, as well as Chen Jing, Jing Rui, Qian Tian and Zheng Fu Gong will be cured. He believes in Cheng Sheng's medical skills. 

He turned and watched the intense fight ongoing. Although the ones replaced Xie Lan, Chen Jing, Jing Rui, and Zheng Fu Gong were younger, but they said that the best asset the young people have is their vigor. Although Xi Ling should have been one of those who replaced them, but he knows himself the best. He wasn't gravely injured, but his mind and heart are. Xie Lan almost died. He isn't in his best state to fight. He can't be a liability in battling against Wu Ran. 

While the others have their own thoughts in Cheng Sheng's awakening, the five people who are currently fighting, fortunately, weren't distracted. 

Chen Han has already known Cheng Sheng's plans, and he told Wu Yuan and Sun Yi about it when he woke up, likewise Li Tian, who was the only one present around him earlier when he awakened. So, none of them were surprised of Cheng Sheng's appearance. So, he, Wu Yuan and Sun Yi weren't affected by the news in the slightest and didn't became distracted. 

On the other hand, Ho Yue has always been calm. And, he has always been observant. He was secretly observing everyone around earlier when he was acting soy sauce, so he noticed Fan Wen's and Xie Lan's secret communication earlier. Thus, he expected that there must have been a big news and, as he guessed, Cheng Sheng really appeared. 

Meanwhile, Fei Lin's mind is dead set on avenging his uncle Fei Huang, as well as on his promise to Xi Ling to return alive. Thus, he is very being careful in the fight, but each attack of his is very powerful. Both his calmness and revenge combined, and he is very deadly right now. 

So, they can say that these five people really are in their best state – mentally, physically, emotionally as well as spiritually. 

Fan Wen immediately blocked Wu Ran's killing intent from getting to Cheng Sheng. He knows best what is Cheng Sheng's condition now. Cheng Sheng is suppressing his grief from losing Fei Yin, and is doing his best to be able to help them. 

"Let's go treat Lan and the others first." He said as he turned to them. 

"Yes!" Jing Cheng answered as he, with Jing Rui in his arms, jumped and boarded the ship. 

The others immediately followed, carrying the injured with them. 

"Cheng Sheng?" Li Nanzi called when he saw Cheng Sheng didn't move and just stayed where he is. 

Fan Wen watched as Tang Teng carried Xie Lan on his shoulder and they flew up to the ship. Then, he turned when he heard Li Nanzi called Cheng Sheng's name. "Xiao Sheng?" he called and walked back to Cheng Sheng. "What's wrong?" he asked. Then, he saw him watching the battle afar. He immediately fell silent. 

Li Nanzi, although not very powerful like Zheng Fu Gong, but he is a veteran. So, he could see the longing in Cheng Sheng's eyes. 

Cheng Sheng wants to join the battle, too, and fight Wu Ran. He could, before. But now, he couldn't. With just one strike from Wu Ran and he'll be blown by him to smithereens. This is the cost of the sacrifice he made. He can no longer qualify in fighting powerful people. If he can, then he can only be a support. 

Maybe, Fei Yin, his lover, could have. If Fei Yin was still alive, then Fei Yin might be one of those people who are fighting against Wu Ran. But, Fei Yin is already dead. This is another cost of Cheng Sheng's sacrifice. Although Cheng Sheng didn't mean to sacrifice Fei Yin… he doesn't want to sacrifice Fei Yin, at all. But, he himself was the sacrifice, and Fei Yin was implicated. 

Nobody expected for this, even Cheng Sheng himself. 

Cheng Sheng lowered his head. "Let's go, shifu. Sect leader Li." He spoke and boarded his sword before he slowly ascended in the air. 

Fan Wen and Li Nanzi who were left and looked at each other. Then, they flew in front of Cheng Sheng. They don't want to insult Cheng Sheng's pride. They know that Cheng Sheng doesn't want to be pitied. He doesn't want their sympathy. And he never wanted any. That's why they didn't ask him about what he is currently feeling. Not only will it poke his sore spot, but Cheng Sheng also doesn't like looking pathetic in front of them. 

When they landed on the deck, Fan Wen and Li Nanzi secretly sighed in relief. 

"Sect leader Li, what's wrong?" Tang Teng asked when he approached him. He saw him wiped the sweat off of his forehead. Were they chased? He thought. But, all the demonic cultivators were already eliminated, excluding Wu Ran. 

So, what could have made Li Nanzi sweat like this? Didn't they just board the ship? What could have gone wrong during their flight? He thought, feeling puzzled. 

Li Nanzi grimaced and shook his head. It's really hard to pretend earlier to not care about Cheng Sheng. They didn't want to act like they are mocking him, but they also don't want him to think that they think he is weak. Flying behind him shows they are looking down on him. Flying beside him shows that they are sympathizing with him. 

So, they flew in front of him. Not only it shows their superiority with him as his elders, but it also shows that they respect his wishes. 

"Gather them in one area." Cheng Sheng spoke and had Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei, Qian Lin and Jing Kang arrange Jing Rui, Zheng Fu Gong, Chen Jing, Qian Tian and Xie Lan. "After you feed them with medicine and treat their wounds, elder Pai – " he called as he turned. " – you can cast a Healing Array for them to recover faster." He told him. 

A silence fell. Fan Wen, Lei Ling and You Rou clenched their fists, feeling grievance to Cheng Sheng's current condition. But, they know that Cheng Sheng doesn't want to see them griping over these matters, more especially if it is related to him. Because it is like smacking him with his weakness on his face. 

Everyone's expressions changed, but they immediately recovered their expressions. They know that Cheng Sheng's cultivation has dropped, and alchemy is very taxing in qi, which makes Cheng Sheng now unable to conjure up an array – the one which is the most taxing in qi. Fortunately, Cheng Sheng could still refine magic pills, which needs only a small amount of qi. 

Potions doesn't require qi since you only need to mix herbs and it will produce decoction. Magic pills needs a small amount of it, then talisman, spell, and the biggest amount of qi to spend on is array. 

Pai Lie suppressed his emotions. "What should I do?" he asked. 

Although he knows a lot of arrays, but to him, a healing array is very complicated since it involves gathering of qi, converting of qi, then distribution of qi. And, the more the people inside the array, the more complicated it becomes. So, he didn't bother himself to learn it before. And that is why he feels deep respect towards Cheng Sheng.
