The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 646 – The Scum Is Bewitched

"Oh, geez! Your disciples are so wasteful!" Tang Li exclaimed as he looked at Xie Lan while pointing at Wen Yan throwing the Exploding Pills everywhere.

Xie Lan proudly smirked. "It isn't wasteful if it is for revenge!" he said.

Everyone nodded in agreement while Jing Rui smiled. Sun Yu sighed in relief and his tense muscles finally relaxed. He also wanted to avenge his disciples, but Xie Lan's disciple already did. Wu Tong almost cried, since he felt aggrieved on behalf of his son who is still unconscious like the Shanliangde Sect disciples. Even their condition has worsened!

Sun Yu and Wu Tong felt their hearts clenched as they watched, extremely tense, the Shanliangde Sect disciples and Wu Tie, respectively, bathed in their sweat while Cui Xiang and Cui Xiao busily fed them with potions while Chen Yu and Sun Ri helped the two press the Shanliangde Sect disciples and Wu Tie down the bed when they, the patients, tried to struggle for some reason.

"What is going on?!" Sun Yi asked, panicking, as he watched the Shanliangde Sect disciples struggling while Sun Ri is crying silently, suppressing back her sobs.

Sun Yi's eyes are red and his tears fell. Wu Yuan comforted him.

"Could it be, the potions are harmful to them due to their condition, thus they are struggling?" Xi Ming asked and looked at the sleeping Cheng Sheng.

"It shouldn't be! Xiang-er won't carelessly feed them potions, especially if she knows that it would be bad for her patients!" You Rou said.

"Then… what is going on with the patients?" Shan Lu asked, feeling bewildered.

"Could they be… bewitched?" Lei Ling suddenly exclaimed.

They all turned to them. "'bewitched'?" they asked.

"Not that kind of bewitchment of a demon seducing them!" Lei Ling immediately said, shaking his head while frantically waving his hands.

"Then, what kind of bewitchment is this?" Shan Lu curiously asked.

Lei Ling turned to him. "That kind of being under a spell!" he answered.

They felt even more bewildered. "'spell'?" they said.

"But, they were attacked by demons, didn't they? How can the demons use spell?" Qian Lin asked.

"Have you forgotten that leader of the demon which have the other talisman, that is used as a medium to control it?" Lei Ling asked.

"… ah!" they exclaimed when they recalled it.

"But, this leader of the demons only have a talisman. How can it use a spell to bewitch the participants?" Hui Qiu asked.

Lei Ling shook his head. "It is only like a kind of spell. I fear, what that talisman is for is to make its targets fall into illusions." He told them.

"'illusion'?!" they exclaimed.

Lei Ling nodded. "En. Spells also can be used for illusions, so how can the talismans can't?" he said as he looked at Li Tian, then at his fellow talisman mages Jing Kang, Xiao Le and Guo Cheng.

Guo Cheng nodded in agreement. "Creating illusions out of talismans is possible." He said. "To make a talisman, aside from the paper, brush and ink, the other thing that you use is your thoughts. You infuse your thoughts in it." He explained.

Everyone now understood. They already heard this from Cheng Sheng before when Cheng Sheng taught them in making talismans. But, due to that the things were urgent before, they only had a single thought infused in the talismans, which is to disable their targets. Now, they learned that there can also be other thoughts to infuse into the talismans. No wonder there are different kinds of talismans!

"Some protective talisman charms are also using illusions." Lei Ling said.

"Did Cheng Sheng turn pale after he activated that talisman… is due to him suppressing the illusions the talisman of that culprit is giving him?" Jing Cheng asked.

Everyone started. Now they recalled that it was the case!

"No wonder why Cheng Sheng was exhausted… it was a spiritual and mental attack!" Pai Lie exclaimed.

They all nodded in agreement. Illusions attack the target mentally by making them see the illusions and spiritually to weaken their will through the illusions.

"Then, my disciples… they must be undergoing through some illusions, that is why they are trying to reject Cui Xiang's potions with all their might?" Sun Yu asked.

"My son…!" Wu Tong howled when he saw that Wu Tie is violently struggling.

Fortunately, Sun Ri's whip has its own consciousness and it tied Wu Tie securely. But, this also made Wu Tie bleed because Wu Tie is struggling fiercely. The sect leaders and elders sighed in sympathy to Wu Tong. No father would want to watch their son suffer before their eyes.

"Xi Bing… Xi Shi…" Xi Ming's face is dark. Xi Xing patted his back to calm him down.

"Fei Luo… Fei Huo…" Fei Yin sighed as he looked at the Fei Luo and Fei Huo.

Everyone watched, feeling their hearts filled with pain, the Shanliangde Sect disciples struggled in their beds, trying to escape while Cui Xiang's face is pale as she brewed faster new potions to feed the patients to make them calm down, including their berserk qi combined that makes her, Cui Xiao, Chen Yu and Sun Ri feel oppressed.

…

"Hey!" Tang Li called when he noticed something.

"What's wrong?" Li Yan asked as he and Zhu Xi were back-to-back to guard their backs against the demons' sneak attacks.

"We are already here, yet why are there still demons on Chen Wu's and the others' sides?!" Tang Li asked as he looked at the two balls of strings still emitting light, clearly indicating that Chen Wu and the others are still in harm because the demons are still surrounding them!

Chen Wu and the others noticed this the most since they are the ones being surrounded.

"Are they picking on the weak?" Wu Lian asked.

"It must be!" Jing De sighed in depression. He has never been called 'weak' before! These demons are definitely provoking him!

"Don't be too impulsive." Jing Xu, sitting beside him, said. "Don't you think it is good to have others protect us for once?" he asked and smile.

"Hey! I heard that!" Tang Li said and frowned in complaint. "Do you think that we are your servants?!" he asked, mad, though he continued to hack down the demons.

Jing Xu chuckled. He is obviously in a good mood. Well, who wouldn't be since others are doing tasks for you while you just lie down and rest?

"Zhu-shixiong. Please." Fei Yinzi spoke in a hoarse voice and pushed down the blood in his throat while he clutches his chest.

Zhu Xi turned and saw the demons trapped by Fei Yinzi using talismans. Zhu Xi, Li Yan and Tang Li immediately moved, but Wen Yan is faster than them since he directly threw an Exploding Pill to that side. But, who would have thought that as soon as the explosion died down, the demons suddenly froze. Then, after a second, they scattered! 

The participants were stunned. "What… what just happened?" Jing De asked as they all looked at the demons that are fleeing.

The ball of strings immediately shrunk and woven themselves before they returned to the wrists of the participants like charm bracelets.

"It's… over?" Ling Yun asked and sighed.

But, no one answered since everyone felt an unsettling feeling.

…

"The… patients have calmed down?!" Chen Yu exclaimed in surprise when they saw that the Shanliangde Sect disciples and Wu Tie have finally stopped struggling and returned to sleep.

Sun Ri cried in relief and hugged her elder brother Sun Yan while Cui Xiao's brows raised in surprise.

Meanwhile, Cui Xiang frowned. "I… don't think so." She said as she looked at the patients.

Cui Xiao, Chen Yu and Sun Ri looked at her.

…

Xiao Bao and xiao Ling, as well as Bai Tan the Shapeshifting Blanket, also saw that the demons have scattered and fled in all directions, as if nothing happened.

"Do you think that this is over?" xiao Bao asked.

Xiao Ling sneered, indicating that he doesn't believe it, too. Bai Tan also nodded. Then, the three of them suddenly saw that amidst the corpses of the demons that died after being hit by the Exploding Pill, a small object flashed before it flew away.

Their eyes narrowed and they immediately followed it. It is – !

…

Fei Yinzi was resting when from the corner of his eyes he saw something flashed. He immediately followed it without hesitation and when he neared it, he recognized it as a talisman! But, due to its strange symbols, he knew that it must be that foreign talisman that controlled the leader of the demons! That demon controlled must have died so this talisman must be finding a new owner!

Fei Yinzi followed it until they have reached the camp.. Then, his heart skipped a beat before it turned cold, then shrank to the bottom of the abyss when he saw two people walking. They were Wen Wen and He Shun! And that foreign talisman is now flying towards them!
