The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 36 - The Scum Is A Glutton

They all head to the teleportation array. Xie Lan and Fan Wen activated the array while the disciples stood by the side, anxiously watching. However, when the light died down from the array, they didn't see the Youxiwang Sect elders. "What?!" the Youxiwang sect disciples exclaimed as they looked around the array. There really was no sign of the Youxiwang sect elders. "This can't be…" they said and held themselves back to curse. There's no problem of Xie Lan and Fan Wen activating the array. They were also worried. One, because Wu Fan is their shixiong. Two, because of the Youxiwang Sect since they are friendly to each other almost they are families. And three, the Youxiwang Sect will suspect them playing tricks on them. However, the third reason is not needed. They trust Xie Lan and Fan Wen. And the two wouldn't betray them. So, the problem lies on the Youxiwang Sect's end.

"What happened?" Fei Yin asked as he and Cheng Sheng also ran to the teleportation array.

Chen Han pressed his lips tight, impatient. "Something happened to the sect." he answered as he, Sun Yi and Wu Yuan checked the array on the ground.

Wu Yuan cursed. This is the first time they heard him cursed. And they felt their heart go cold. "The Youxiwang Sect sealed their teleportation array." He said, his face wearing an ugly expression. He gritted his teeth.

"What?! Why?!" Sun Yi asked as they stood up.

"I don't know – " Wu Yuan said and looked at Chen Han.

Chen Han didn't take this as Wu Yuan suspecting him. "You think the sect is under an attack?" he asked. Wu Yuan nodded. Chen Han pondered. Then, he looked at Xie Lan and Fan Wen who were also puzzled. "Sect leader Xie. Elder Fan." He called and walked towards them. He bowed. "We apologize for wasting your time and effort." He said and heavily sighed. He stood straight. "The teleportation array of the Youxiwang Sect was sealed. We suspect our sect was attacked." He explained, his face looked tired.

They were shocked. "What?!" Fan Wen said. "Who – " he said and stopped. He looked at Chen Han, then Sun Yi and Wu Yuan. "First is the walking corpses and the demonic qi. Now…" he pressed his lips tight.

"You suspect that attacking our sect was a diversion?" Xie Lan asked as he looked at Fan Wen. Fan Wen looked at him and nodded. "How hardworking they are." Xie Lan said, mocking the enemies. First, they attacked the West. Then, they attacked the East. Now, they attacked the West again. It is clear that their target is the Youxiwang Sect. Wu Fan is also missing.

"Father…" Wu Yuan muttered and closed his eyes tight. His hand on the hilt of his sword turned white.

"Yuan…" Sun Yi said and hugged him, comforting him.

"What should we do?" Fan Wen asked. "We can't use the teleportation array to go to Xiwang. We don't even know their situation…" he sighed, feeling helpless. He turned to Xie Lan. "Lan. Can't you use your vision?" he asked.

Xie Lan shook his head. "I only have visions when a situation is worst." He said, then turned to the Youxiwang Sect disciples who are covered in a gloomy atmosphere. "I still haven't had a vision. That must mean that the situation of your sect, for now, is under control." He told them.

They sighed in relief. "Many thanks, sect leader Xie." They said. That comforted their heart.

Xie Lan nodded. "There should be a way…" he muttered. Then, his eyes fell on Cheng Sheng. His eyes lit up. "Xiao Sheng." He called and walked towards Cheng Sheng. He held his shoulders. "Didn't you make an array in the Youxiwang Sect?" he asked, his voice contained excitement.

Cheng Sheng nodded. "Yes, founder." he answered. Then, he understood. He dropped on his knees and touched the array on the ground. He looked around the array, then took out his brush and draw on the array. They saw him draw some figures and numbers. They understood. Cheng Sheng is modifying their sect's array to match the array he drew on the Youxiwang Sect. They can't help but cast an admiring gaze to Cheng Sheng who was busy drawing on the array. Cheng Sheng raised his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead, but his hand is dirty. Then, Fei Yin wiped his sweat. He raised his head and looked at Fei Yin. "Many thanks, da shixiong." He told him. Fei Yin nodded and went back to Xie Lan and Fan Wen. Cheng Sheng continued to draw on the array, crawling. His robes started to get dirty but they can't interrupt him.

"Xiao Yin." Xie Lan whispered. "Have you found something on Xiao Sheng's condition?" he asked.

Fei Yin nodded. "Yes." He answered. "I noticed that when he gets tired or hungry, his body absorbs qi." He answered.

"His body should be supplied by energy, then." Fan Wen sighed. "Or else, the qi will be absorbed to replace the energy he is lacking in his body." He explained.

Fei Yin nodded. Then, he looked at his qiankun pouch filled with food. Xie Lan and Fan Wen saw it. Xie Lan's brow twitched. "You're also hardworking." He told Fei Yin.

Fei Yin closed his qiankun pouch and bowed. "Many thanks, founder." he answered. Fan Wen chuckled.

Xie Lan's face is blank as they watched Fei Yin walked towards Cheng Sheng again when Cheng Sheng finished his task. Fei Yin used the Cleaning Talisman on Cheng Sheng to clean his robes and he wiped Cheng Sheng's hands. Then, he gave food to Cheng Sheng. "Really hardworking." He said and sighed. He actually pities Fei Yin, since Fei Yin had been pining for Cheng Sheng for 10 years. However, this Cheng Sheng is really dumb.

"Done." Cheng Sheng said. "You can now activate it." he told them.

"However, what if your array on the Youxiwang Sect is also sealed?" Wu Yuan asked.

Cheng Sheng turned to him, food on his mouth. "No one can seal my array aside from me." He confidently answered.

Wu Yuan shut up. Sun Yi smiled and thanked Cheng Sheng. Chen Han gratefully looked at his brother and hugged him tight. "Thank you, Ah Sheng." He said. "Wait for us to come back." He told him.

"That's no good." Xie Lan frowned. "We'll be going with you." He told Chen Han.

"But – " Chen Han said.

"I'll wait here with the sect." Fan Wen said and smiled at them. "Xiao Yin. You protect Xiao Sheng while Lan helps the Youxiwang Sect." he told Fei Yin.

Fei Yin nodded and bowed. "Yes, shifu." He said.

Fan Wen nodded as he and Xie Lan activated the array again. This time, they were surprised. There was less spiritual power needed to activate the array. They looked at each other, their eyes talking. "Step in." Xie Lan said as he stepped in the array while Fan Wen maintained it. The disciples immediately followed Xie Lan. Then, they closed their eyes. When they opened them, they saw there were in the giant boat carrying the gigantic pagoda of the Youxiwang Sect. However, the sect doesn't look like what it was when they first came here.

The demonic qi is present in the air. This time, it is denser. Cheng Sheng immediately took out the Cleansing Talismans and threw them in the air. A series of explosions can be heard, thundering in their ear.
