The Scum Is A

Gong Xian doesn't have a choice but to open his eyes or else he would never have the chance to open his eyes again in case Chen Han would struck him next. He immediately jumped away, which is a right decision since he saw Chen Han's eyes are bloodshot. "The reason Cheng Sheng suggested to use the array instead of the Cleansing Stone is for you." He said. He's referring to yesterday's event. He looked at Chen Han who was trying to suppress his Heart Demon. 

"Shut up!" Chen Han snapped as he started attacking Gong Xian! 

Back in the Righteous Alliance, everyone was shocked. "What the… Chen Han has a Heart Demon?!" they exclaimed. "Not good! He would lead to Qi Deviation!" they said. 

Wu Yuan's face grew tense while Xie Lan's face darkened. "This can't be… how did he develop a Heart Demon?!" the sect leaders frantically asked. After all, Chen Han has a sunny demeanor like Sun Yi but more restrained than Sun Yi since he is the next Chen patriarch. 

Wu Yuan pressed his lips tight as his jaw clenched. Da shixiong… he thought as his eyes finally flashed of worry. Aside from Sun Yi and his father, Chen Han is the next most important person for him. Before he could meet Sun Yi, he and Chen Han grew up together. Chen Han is older than him thus he looked up to him as his elder brother. Needless to say, despite Chen Han's idiocy, he idolizes him even if it doesn't show. He greatly respects him. 

"Da shixiong…" he muttered. 

"Don't falter." Xie Lan told him. "Chen Han is a smart person. He will be sane after he vented his anger." He explained. 

Wu Yuan held the armrest tight to the point it cracked. "… okay." He said and took a deep breath. They don't know why, with Chen Han's disposition, can he get a Heart Demon. 

"Someone like Chen Han sure has his hard times…" the people said as they shook their head with pity. 

Suddenly, everyone exclaimed. "WOAH!" they stared, wide-eyed, when they saw Fei Yin viciously attacked Kang Ce, and Kang Ce immediately was buried in the rubbles!

"Hey, hey! What's with this another fight?!" Someone asked, but his tone is excited. 

"Oh, right. I've heard Yu Sheng told Jing Bai and Jing Kang before that Fei Yin has a vendetta towards those who opposed Cheng Sheng yesterday." Someone answered as they watched Kang Ce looking helpless while Fei Yin pummeled him to the ground again. 

"Da shixiong…" the Xinfaxian Sect disciples were shocked. They haven't seen this side of their cold and aloof da shixiong. Fei Yin looked viciously cold as he beat up Kang Ce who can't even defend himself for a second. 

"Amazing…" Shu Mu said. This is the first time they have seen Fei Yin's prowess in fighting. His fight against Jie Mei before in the third stage couldn't compare to Fei Yin's fight against Kang Ce now. 

Xiao Le felt conflicted. He didn't want to see Kang Ce looking like this. They were friends before, and close as brothers. However, now… "Ge…" he muttered as he lowered his head. 

"Xiao Le…?" Shu Mu called when he saw Xiao Le silently left. 

"Da shixiong, what's wrong?" one of his fellow disciples asked. 

"… nothing." Shu Mu answered as he stared at the direction Xiao Le left. 

Meanwhile, Zuo Zhe was frightened by Fei Yin's actions. "No…" he muttered under his breath as he stared at Yu Sheng on the side watching Fei Yin fought against Kang Ce. 

"Young master Zuo, what are you saying?" Lei Qing asked. 

"No…" Zuo Zhe said. "Fei Yin would have a Heart Demon if he continues this!" he said. 

"What?!" 

Zuo Zhe ignored them as he focused on Yu Sheng who was smiling and even had the time to hum while Fei Yin had almost killed Kang Ce. Yu Sheng… what are you planning?! He gritted his teeth in anger. He knew Yu Sheng is using Fei Yin. However, for what? What is he planning to do? And what does he intend to do to Fei Yin?!

Yu Sheng. If you harm Fei Yin, you'll see! He clenched his fists as he glared at Yu Sheng. 

Meanwhile, the sect leaders worriedly looked at Xie Lan. "This Yu Sheng is truly sinister." They said. After all, they thought Yu Sheng is allies with the Xinfaxinan Sect. However, right now, that doesn't seem to be the case? 

"Is Fei Yin affected by the secret realm?" someone asked and glanced at Fei Huang who looked as tense as Xie Lan. 

"That must be." Someone answered. 

"However, this Yu Sheng…" they said as they stared at Yu Sheng's visage. "What is his objective?" they asked. 

Secret realm, Feng Hua Palace. 

Cheng Sheng gasped and he stopped. He looked at the direction of northwest. 

"Second young master Chen?" Xi Ming called when he saw Cheng Sheng looked distracted. Suddenly, his eyes widened when he saw Cheng Sheng threw a bottle at him. He immediately caught it. 

"Those are Cleansing Meridian Pills." Cheng Sheng said. "Just feed it regularly to Jing Cheng, one pill for a day. You only need to pay for that after the competition." He told Xi Ming. "I have something to do. I cannot accompany you." He said and flew on his sword before Xi Ming could answer. 

"Second young master Chen…" Xi Ming called before he looked at the bottle of magic pills. Fortunately, Cheng Sheng had shown him how to use the locator in the Cleansing Stone, thus he could look for Jing Cheng. He knew Gong Xian can survive, and Xi Xing is smart. Jing Cheng needs his help first! 

He looked at the three orange lights in the Cleansing Stone and immediately went to their direction. 

Meanwhile, Cheng Sheng stopped and looked at the map on his Cleansing Stone. He saw one group of five, two groups of four, one group of three, two groups of two, and then there's him. 

The group of five consists of four golden lights and one gray light. It is the Huakai Sect. They had regrouped, but there's a rogue cultivator with them. The gray light could only be Wu Xi, since Yu Sheng likes to act alone. 

One group of four consists of one red light, two green lights and one blue light. The red light could only be Sun Yi who likes to act in groups since he likes liveliness. The two green lights must be Li Tian and Feng Mo. The blue light is someone from Shanliangde Sect. Since he had met Xi Ming, and Gong Xian liked to sleep and never move, this could only be Xi Xing. 

The other group of four consists of three red lights and one blue light. It seems that Xi Ming finally reached Jing Cheng's group. 

The group of three consists of one gray light, one green light and one brown light. This must be Yu Sheng, Fei Yin and Kang Ce. 

"…" Too diverse. He had a bad feeling about these three. 

One group of two consists of an orange light and a purple light. They are Qian Lin, and Jing Hei who likes to stick with him. The other group of two consists of a red light and a blue light. The remaining blue light is Gong Xian. This red light… 

"Chen Han." He muttered as he looked at the direction of northwest. He suddenly got a bad feeling. He looked around and noticed there's no impostor of Chen Han that appeared. Earlier, when he and Xi Ming were talking, Jing Cheng's impostor also didn't appear. His conjecture just became true. "Those who have a Heart Demon cannot be copied." He said as he heavily breathed, going towards the northwest. "They can't, since one – they have no qi. Two – " his eyes narrowed as he held the Cleansing Stone tight. " – it's the Cleansing Stone projecting them! Damn it!" he cursed. 

If the contestants don't want to face the impostors, then they have to discard their Cleansing Stone! 

Back to the Righteous Alliance, everyone exclaimed. "Is it true?!" they were shocked. "It's the Cleansing Stone making those impostors?!" they said. 

Zheng Fu Gong helplessly sighed while Pai Lie proudly smiled. "This is the first time someone figured out how these impostors came to be!" he excitedly said. 

Su Yuan nodded as he looked at Cheng Sheng. "That is the birthplace of the Cleansing Stone, thus its domain. The Cleansing Stone of the contestants is reacting to the main Cleansing Stone inside the maze." He explained. "As for the impostors – " he said as they watched the contestants simultaneously became wounded! 

"WHA – what the heck?!" the audience exclaimed as they watched the contestants whose impostors appeared became grievously injured. "What happened to them?! Weren't they fine before?!" they asked. 

"No way…" Shu Mu said as his brows knit. "Could it be… the injuries those impostors received earlier were reflected to the original contestants, but since the contestants can't die - " he said as his eyes narrowed. " – their injuries were intensified?!"
