The Scum Is A

Righteous Alliance, Zhongyang, Central Plains. 

"Sir!" a guard called as he knelt and immediately reported. "Two of the groups we are yet to capture have been saved by Xie Lan and Jing Rui!" he said. "And, the scouts have reported that afar, they saw four streaks of red light coming this way." He added. 

Qi Ling frowned after he heard a guard's report. "That Xie Lan and Jing Rui! They're so persistent like cockroaches!" he spat. "And those four streaks of light… who could they be if not those four brats from the Jing Clan?" he gnashed his teeth as he pushed all of the objects on top of the table beside him. "You two." He called as he turned to the wooden Su Yuan and Jing Xian. "Intercept them. Don't kill them, as I need them alive to make Jing Rui surrender!" he told them. 

"Yes!" Su Yuan and Jing Xian answered in a flat voice as they stiffly walked away. The guard that reported followed behind them and they left. 

Jing Xian's eyes were upfront, and he let his body control him. Not long later and they arrived at the entrance gate to Zhongyang. Four streaks of red can be seen in the sky, and they were travelling at a very fast pace. 

"Prepare!" the leader of the guards yelled as they raised their weapons. 

Jing Xian frowned in displeasure as he let his body raise his hand like Su Yuan's. Weren't they just four brats? He thought and held himself back not to roll his eyes. This is so boringggggg… he pursed his lips. 

How can he be captured by a mere Qi Ling? Not to mention his body is immortal, but he isn't even a human to begin with. In this world, he just assumed a human role, and an identity which is convenient for him to find someone. 

My Lord… where are you? He thought as his gaze lowered in dejection. 

Jing Cheng's, Jing Bai's, Jing Hei's and Jing Kang's figures can now be seen as they approached their way. The guards all shot arrows in the sky, the arrows whistling when they passed by their ears. A light came out of Su Yuan's raised hand and shot Jing Kang in the sky. Weak persimmons must be picked first. Fortunately, Jing Kang, even though an alchemist, but his martial foundations are present and so he managed to dodge Su Yuan's attack. 

"Elder Jing! Why aren't you attacking?!" the leader of the guards asked as he sent people to fly and intercept the four on the sky. 

Jing Xian secretly rolled his eyes as he prepared to attack. However, before he could, he felt his scalp suddenly became numb as an oppressive feeling came over him. This is - ! his eyes lit up as his gaze roamed around, trying to find a figure. My Lord! He exclaimed in his mind when he saw a shadow not far from them. 

Then, he saw the shadow raised his hand and waved it, his sleeve fluttering with his movement. Suddenly, the people in the sky who were about to attack Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Jing Kang all froze and then fell to the ground! 

My Lord! Jing Xian cried in his mind. His eyes watered from the overwhelming emotions he felt. If he hadn't 'lived' in this world for a very, very long time in search of his Lord, he wouldn't have felt human emotions. Do you want to help Jing Rui's nephews? He asked. 

"En." A deep voice can be heard in Jing Xian's mind. 

Jing Xian sharply inhaled when he heard the familiar voice. Though it sounded the same as with that Evil One, but this voice is definitely different. It was softer, and more kind. I'll help you! He told his Lord. 

"En." The voice just said. 

Jing Xian frowned, breaking his wooden expression as he turned and attacked Su Yuan beside him. 

The guards with them were shocked from what happened after their friends have inexplicably fallen from the sky when they were given another shock after they saw Jing Xian suddenly attacked Su Yuan! "Elder Jing?! What are you doing?!" they asked. 

However, Jing Xian waved his hand and the guards were all blown away! Hahahahaha! This is the power of a golden finger! Jing Xian laughed in his mind as he grabbed Su Yuan's collar. "Since we are colleagues, I'll lend you a hand!" he said as he hit Su Yuan's head. 

"Send him to Xinfaxian." Jing Xian's Lord ordered. 

Jing Xian was startled, but he didn't ask and did as he told. Su Yuan appeared before their eyes as he was teleported by Jing Xian to Xinfaxian. 

Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Jing Kang were puzzled by the sudden turn of events. "What just happened?" Jing Hei asked. 

"Internal conflict?" Jing Kang guessed when they saw from the sky the guards were chaotic. 

"Doesn't matter. This is an advantage to us! Let's go to uncle! Fast!" Jing Cheng said and flew. 

Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Jing Kang looked at each other and nodded before they followed Jing Cheng. When they came out of the Cleansing Stone and saw the Xinfaxian Sect's logo, they were shocked. They were stunned when they heard of what happened to Zhongyang, and the change in the world after just ten days. 

Pai Lie didn't speak any needless words and told them to go to Yunxiao Inn where Jing Rui and the Zunjingde Sect, and Xia Lan, were staying as their base. 

Righteous Alliance Headquarters. 

Qi Ling spat out another mouthful of blood when he also lost his control on Jing Xian's body. "Damn it! Who did it?!" he gritted his teeth in frustration and punched the floor. "Damn it! Damn it all!" he screamed. 

Jing Xian and Su Yuan are his two chess pieces. Zheng Fu Gong was barely holding on, and it's only a matter of time he would fall in his hands. However, his control over Zheng Fu Gong's body was delayed when he, along with Zheng Yi, was saved by Xie Lan and Jing Rui and brought to Yunxiao Inn which was covered by Cheng Sheng's array. 

"CHENG. SHENG! WHY IS IT ALWAYS YOU?!"
