The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 153 - The Scum Is Inauspicious

The Shanliangde Sect's team looked at Sun Yi who sighed as he silently lamented Wu Xi's fate. Somehow… Cheng Sheng is inauspicious. They thought as they looked at each other.

Jie Mei died after they left her under the order of Cheng Sheng. Then, their group split up. Sun Yi left their small group, then now Wu Xi is missing. Not to mention his fellow female disciples lost after he instructed them, Jing Xian was humiliated and Shan Lu almost died again… piling up, it's really inauspicious.

But, they can't overlook Cheng Sheng's good points, of course. Jie Mei was eliminated from their group to lessen the consumers of their resources. His intentions were misunderstood by his team. He misunderstood Sun Yi's good intention. As for Wu Xi… it isn't his1 fault, right? He didn't tell Wu Xi to go to the forbidden area, right? It was just a coincidence. Everything is just a coincidence.

They secretly grimaced. Somehow, they got scared of Cheng Sheng for another reason. The sudden downpour of the rain didn't help as it only added to the heavy atmosphere and their anxiety.

"Let's rest first while walking corpses are slowed by the mud and rain." Xi Ming said.

"Yes!" they answered as they find a temporary shelter.

On the other side, the Huakai Sect met Kang Ce who was heavily wounded. A chunk of flesh was missing from his arm, and his blood was flowing from his arm and onto the already wet ground because of the rain. It was horrifying to look at. He looked like a sorry sight.

Currently, the ones left are Cheng Sheng's team who split up into two groups and lost two members – one confirmed dead1 while the other one is missing2; Jing Cheng's team who split up also into two groups – the Zunjingde Sect with Qian Lin, and the Shanliangde Sect with Fu An and Xiong Si. No one died in both groups, like the Huakai Sect which is led by its eldest disciple – Tang Zhe; and last is Kang Ce, who's the only one survived in their team. The originally fifth team has only three members who survived after they withdrew from the competition.

"He looked pitiful." One of them said when they saw Kang Ce collapsed on the ground. "Shall we help him?" he asked.

Tang Zhe stared at Kang Ce who was silently lying on the wet ground. "Shan-shidi. You go." he said.

"Yes." Shan Lu nodded and walked towards Kang Ce. However, before he could reach him, Kang Ce suddenly moved and attacked him! Shan Lu, although unlucky, but he isn't an idiot. He immediately dodged and only got his sleeve cut by Kang Ce.

"…" the Huakai Sect disciples looked at Shan Lu in sympathy. He's really unlucky. They thought. They felt Shan Lu's bad luck got worse after he drank the Sundry Leaf juice. At most, Shan Lu would only step on a dog's poop before. But now, he almost lost his life! Shan-shixiong, you're too unlucky! They thought.

Guo Cheng grimaced as they watched Kang Ce pushing himself to kill Shan Lu. "What should we do?" he asked Tang Zhe.

"Kill him!" Tang Yun answered as he unsheathed his sword.

Guo Cheng rolled his eyes at him before he looked at Tang Zhe, waiting for Tang Zhe's answer. The Huakai Sect never fights in group if there's only one person that's their enemy. They have confidence with their fellow disciple. They knew that Shan Lu could deal with Kang Ce – albeit he's an idiot.

"Knock Kang Ce out." Tang Zhe said.

Guo Cheng nodded before he turned to Shan Lu who punched Kang Ce. "Oi! Shan-shixiong! You hear me?" he asked in a loud voice since the rain is now heavily pouring down. "Da shixiong said to knock him out!" he yelled before he took a deep breath. Shan Lu is an idiot. He could have knocked out Kang Ce since the beginning.

Shan Lu, the blockhead, heard what Guo Cheng said and he swiftly moved behind Kang Ce and hit his nape. Kang Ce's body collapsed on the ground. "Guo-shidi!" he called.

Guo Cheng saw Shan Lu's stupid smile and he frowned. "It was da shixiong's idea." He said. If it was him, he would have thrown Kang Ce in the river.

Speaking of river, it was now overflowing. "Let's go." Tang Zhe said. "We don't know what will happen if there'll be a flood in the secret realm." He said when he saw the water coming their way. They immediately boarded their sword.

Shan Lu carried the unconscious Kang Ce on his shoulder. Just as his sword started to ascend, an ugly fish with large and sharp teeth and has claws and wide tail came out of the water and jumped towards his feet. "Ah – " he muttered before he immediately flew higher as more fishes started to jump out of water, trying to reach him. "What are these things? Why are they coming at me?" he asked, his brows knit in confusion.

"…" the Huakai Sect looked at Shan Lu with their eyes filled with sympathy. He sure is unlucky no matter where, no matter when, and no matter what the situation. They thought as they flew back to their camp yesterday.

The surrounding began to turn darker as more clouds filled the sky. The rain became heavier, as if the sky was weeping in grief.

Outside the secret realm, the sky is as bright as the sun, in contrast to the secret realm. They watched as the ground was covered with water and countless water monsters come out.

"…" the audience was speechless by Shan Lu's bad luck. They then glanced at Jing Xian.

"…" why are you looking at me? It wasn't me, but Cheng Sheng! It was Cheng Sheng who made me make Shan Lu drink the Sundry Leaf juice! Jing Xian thought, his expression stoned in indignation.

"…" Zheng Fu Gong, Su Yuan and Qi Ling who guessed what was Jing Xian was thinking.

"Pft!" Pai Lie unkindly snickered.

"…" the sect leaders who didn't dare breathe loudly in case Jing Xian would make them drink Sundry Leaf juice.

"…" Jing Xian, who was shot1, felt wronged. 

"Huh?" Lei Ling said when he noticed everything suddenly became silent. "What's wrong with everyone? Why did they suddenly fell silent?" he asked, a look of confusion on his face.

"…" it's good to be an airhead. Lei Qing thought, hating the iron for not becoming steel.

"…" I also don't know what's going on, but I feel there's something wrong so I followed everyone and didn't speak. You Rou thought.

"…" Zuo Zhe who didn't know what to say. His heart felt tired. He decided to just resume watching.

Xiwang, Youxiwang Sect.

Chen Jing nervously shifted his feet as he stood in front of the door. "Fan…" he muttered before he raised his head, only to be met by Wu Fan who was flying in the air. "FAN!" he called and immediately caught him. They both fell on the ground.

"Geez!" Luo Shi said. "You didn't become stronger. Instead, you just became worse!" he said as he looked at Fan Wen. "Huh? Chen-xiong?" he said when he saw Chen Jing.

Chen Jing groaned when he felt his back that hit the ground hurt. Wu Fan is heavy than he looks. But, he didn't dare say it. He carefully removed Wu Fan from on top of him. "Lou-xiong." He called. "Why are you kicking Fan?" he asked as he helped Wu Fan up.

"Why are you here?" Luo Shi asked back. "I thought you're coming back after the competition?" he said.

"I had something to do." Chen Jing answered before he looked around. "Where's Ming-xiong?" he asked when he didn't see Ming Ye.

Luo Shi sighed. "He was injured along with the other elders." He answered before he glared at Wu Fan. "Because he had just to dramatically appear! He could actually have appeared earlier than he did!" he said and pointed at Wu Fan who lowered his head, feeling wronged.

Chen Jing asked before he held Wu Fan's hand to assure him. "How is the sect?" he asked.

"Along with Ming-xiong, there are three more elders who were injured and now recuperating." Luo Shi answered. "That's right. What is it you're going to do?" he asked.

"Luo-xiong." Chen Jing called. "Do you know a place called Wuran?" he asked.

"Wuran?" both Wu Fan and Luo Shi spoke.

Chen Jing nodded. "There was this country which is called Wuran. But, over time, it was forgotten and was lost." He explained.

"There's that thing?" Luo Shi frowned. "So this is where you're going?" he said.

Chen Jing nodded. "Yes." he answered. "I think the demonic cultivators has something to do with Wuran." He explained.

"Jing…" Wu Fan called and held Chen Jing's hand tight. "I'm going with you!" he said.

Chen Jing turned to him. "Are you sure?" he asked. "What about Yuan-er?" he said.

"Yuan-er will be fine. I – " Wu Fan said as he lowered his gaze.

Chen Jing smiled. "Don't worry. I won't leave you again." He told him.

"That's right. Take that idiot away." Luo Shi said as he glared at Wu Fan. "Maybe he'll receive an enlightenment in his cultivation." He told them.

Chen Jing chuckled. "Then, we'll be leaving the sect to you and Ming-xiong." He said as he pulled Wu Fan and then they left.

A vein popped in Luo Shi's forehead. "Tch. Another headache…" he sighed. He's referring to the sect. "And Ming-xiong is still recuperating…" he muttered.

"What's the matter?" Ming Ye asked.

"You're okay now?" Luo Shi was surprised.

Ming Ye nodded. "What just happened?" he asked. "Where's Wu-xiong?" he added when he didn't see Wu Fan.

"Chen-xiong arrived. He took Wu-xiong." Luo Shi sighed.

"They're in such a hurry?"

"Well, they're going to this place called Wuran." Luo Shi answered.

Hearing the name, Ming Ye's expression froze.
