The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 668 – The Scum Is Forgiving

The leader of the foreign enemies panicked with widened eyes before his face darkened as he frowned when they all saw that after the bright light died down, a building was revealed!

"Damn it!" he loudly cursed.

That is where the sect leader of the Dongcheng Sect was imprisoned! They have carefully hidden the building so how was it found out?! He thought. His face is livid with rage as he struck the still dumbfounded Tang Teng!

"Whoa!" Tang Teng exclaimed and narrowly avoided the attack because Xie Lan immediately pulled him back while Wu Yuan and Sun Yu struck the leader of the enemies!

"Ugh!" the leader of the enemies spat out a mouthful of blood after he was hit on his chest and his feet slid back on the ground! Damn it! How strong are these people?! He had underestimated them! he thought and gnashed his teeth in anger. Even this young man is as strong as these other people! He added as his gaze fell on Wu Yuan.

Because he underestimated them, they have suffered great losses this time! and it is infuriating!

"Boss!" his subordinates cried and immediately helped him up.

"I see Ah Sheng!" Chen Han exclaimed and pointed to Sun Yi that Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin and Lei Qing have entered the building that was revealed, and where Dong Cheng's father was imprisoned!

"Let's go help them!" Sun Yi said and smiled. "Tang Zhe, Xi Ming! We will leave the rest to you!" he yelled as he and Chen Han flew. "Guo Cheng! Xi Xing! You leave the spirit servants to them and kill the Devouring Worms! Lei Ling and elder Fan are on it!" he added before he and Chen Han followed Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin and Lei Qing inside the hidden building that was revealed in order to find where Dong Cheng's father is.

They hope that it is not too late.

…

Zhongyang.

"Hey! Both xiao Ling and Bai Tan disappeared!" Jing Hei exclaimed in surprise when they saw that xiao Ling and Bai Tan, the Shapeshifting Blanket, have disappeared in the special space, leaving xiao Bao alone.

Jing Cheng's brows knitted. "Xiao Ling and Bai Tan both disappeared… did Cheng Sheng and the others have encountered a problem in the east?" he asked.

Jing Rui frowned while the other sect leaders looked worried, especially the Righteous Alliance. After all, this is their neglect of duty because foreign enemies have entered the land. This shows that their security isn't tight.

But, they aren't completely to blame. After all, the land is so big and they aren't omnipotent.

"It can't be. If something happened, xiao Bao would have gone, too." Wu Tong said.

"En… xiao Bao doesn't look panicked." Su Wan nodded in agreement. "So, there should be nothing big that happened." He said.

Hui Qiu, He Run, Yu Wen and Ling Xi agree to this, too, as they watch xiao Bao's actions. Zheng Fu Gong's tension eased while Pai Lie sighed in relief. As long as Cheng Sheng and the others are safe! They don't want anything bad to happen to Cheng Sheng. Not only because he is their trump card especially against the spirit servants and the Devouring Worms that the enemies are specializing in. It is also because he is a very important friend to them!

"Alliance leader Zheng. Elder Zheng." Zheng Ming called as he quietly approached them.

They all turned. Zheng Fu Gong and Zheng Yi helplessly smiled since Zheng Ming is too formal towards them albeit they are blood relatives. But, thinking that this youth wanted to keep his image as a polite junior, then what can they do?

"What is it?" Zheng Fu Gong asked.

"Boss Sun sent a subordinate, telling us that Chen patriarch and former sect leader Wu wanted to go to the east, too, to help elder Cheng Sheng and the others." Zheng Ming answered. He is referring to Chen Jing and Wu Fan, respectively.

Everyone looked at each other before Zheng Yi smiled and turned back to Zheng Ming. "There is no need." Zheng Yi answered. "There are four sect leaders there who went. We believe in them, that they could handle the enemies." He said.

"Boss Sun said that if you answered this, the Chen patriarch and former sect leader Wu have some words." Zheng Ming said.

"What is it?" He Run curiously asked.

"Answering to sect leader He, boss Sun said that the Chen patriarch and former sect leader Wu told him to tell us, 'If we find out that Zheng Fu Gong and the others are keeping us just to guard Zhongyang and if Cheng Sheng, Chen Han, Wu Yuan would be gravely injured, or worse, die, then we will raze Zhongyang to the ground.'." Zheng Ming answered.

Everyone's lip twitched when they heard the words. This is really the style of Chen Jing and Wu Fan, who are overprotective of their family.

Zheng Fu Gong helplessly smiled. "Tell them that they are welcome to." he said.

Zheng Yi is speechless. Jing Rui's expression turned serious while the other sect leaders were surprised.

"If something happens to Cheng Sheng, then we might as well all surrender defeat or die." Zheng Fu Gong said with a sigh.

They all fell silent, then also sighed. Zheng Fu Gong is right. They won't be able to afford it if something happens to Cheng Sheng. But –

"Not to mention Fei Yin who is Cheng Sheng's lover and would rather exchange his life for Cheng Sheng's, as well as Chen Han, elder Fan Wen and Cheng Sheng's fellow disciples Lei Qing and Lei Ling, sect leader Xie, sect leader Sun, sect leader Wu and sect leader Tang are there, as well as their respective disciples." Jing Cheng spoke.

Everyone paused when they understood the meaning of his words. That's right! If even the four of them can't protect Cheng Sheng, then where will that leave their faces? Not to mention that Xie Lan and Fan Wen, and Chen Han and Fei Yin, also are overprotective of Cheng Sheng. So, Cheng Sheng is heavily guarded by them!

Thus, they have nothing to fear, more so since Cheng Sheng is also not a soft persimmon to be picked on.

"Also – " Zheng Ming spoke.

They all looked at him.

" – elder Ho and his nephew, Ho Ting, plans to interrogate elder Dong Cheng when he regains his consciousness." Zheng Ming told them.

Everyone's expressions immediately turned serious as they looked at each other with their gazes speaking. They know what Ho Yue and Ho Ting wanted – they wanted to ask Dong Cheng about the enemies who have intruded their sect.

…

Yunxiao Inn.

"How is his condition now?" Ho Yue asked after You Rou finished bandaging the wounds of Dong Cheng.

After they left the venue of the Intersect Competition and went to Yunxiao Inn, while the others went to use the teleportation array to go east, Ho Yue and Ho Ting, who were following behind them, remained in the Yunxiao Inn to go and see Dong Cheng.

Li Tian and Feng Mo just silently stood on the side. They can already guess what Ho Yue and Ho Ting are here for. Although they have found out that these two were actually not from their land, they believe in Ho Yue's character. So, they also trusted his nephew, Ho Ting. Adding to the fact that Cheng Sheng also trusts them, they can't see any flaws from the two that they have still feelings for their fellow people who came from the same land.

Ho Yue and Ho Ting are actually enemies with them, so Li Tian and Feng Mo don't feel awkward with these two despite it is the fellow people of Ho Yue and Ho Ting who are currently attacking their land.

"His wounds were now tended to and I have already eliminated the poison in his blood due to the weapons used." You Rou answered. "Fortunately, the amount of poison found in his blood were just little. It must just have been grazed on his skin." She said as she wiped her hands. "He is also exhausted, and his emotional and mental condition aren't right due to stress." She added.

Ho Yue sighed as he looked at Dong Cheng with pity in his gaze. It wasn't easy for Dong Cheng to reach this far, and to give up on his life to die along with his father and fellow disciples despite he could have escaped and be with Lei Qing.

Dong Cheng is a loyal person, and that must be what Lei Qing admired him for.

"Sect leader Dong ah…" Ho Yue sighed when he recalled that kind middle-aged man during the banquet in the previous Intersect Competition.

"What's wrong, uncle?" Ho Ting asked.

"If sect leader Dong wasn't just forgiving, this wouldn't have happened to his sect, especially his son, now." Ho Yue said and sighed with disappointment.

"'forgiving'?" Li Tian, Feng Mo, You Rou and Ho Ting looked at each other.
