The Scum Is A

"CHENG-SHIXIONGGGG!!!! DA SHIXIONG!!!" Lei Ling and You Rou wailed while Feng Mo and Li Tian sobbed. Lei Qing's eyes are red and her tears silently streamed down her cheeks, barely holding back her sobs. 

Qian Lin's eyes also reddened, and Zheng Yi's eyes are filled with pity as they look at the Xinfaxian Sect disciples. Jing Bai and Jing Hei looked away from the heartbreaking scene. What a joyous reunion ended up as a sorrowful one. 

"AAAAARRGGGHH!!!" Feng Mo covered his ears and screamed at the top of his lungs. His tears streaming down his cheeks non-stop. 

Li Tian's and Lei Ling's sobs started to turn louder. They were usually cool-headed, so it was really painful to see them shed their tears, which means they have finally lost control of their emotions. Qian Lin finally can't help but cry, too, being affected by the sad atmosphere. Zheng Yi also shed a tear, which surprised him and also them. 

Zheng Yi, after being freed from Qi Ling's control which made him turned gloomy, returned to being cheerful. But, right now, he is crying, too, sympathizing with the Xinfaxian Sect's loss. 

"What… happened…?" Jing Kang asked. He was very shocked to see Fei Yin return as a corpse, while Cheng Sheng is about to become one, too. 

"They have returned. But, they were ambushed by Wu Ran and his forces when they came out of the Sand Sea Mountain." It was Jing Bai who answered after taking deep breaths. 

Jing Hei was always emotional, so he is starting to get affected by the atmosphere in the ship, too. 

"This…" Jing Kang's eyes widened in disbelief. He can't believe that invincible Cheng Sheng to be defeated. "We…" he muttered. 

Jing Bai's expression changed. He understood what Jing Kang meant. "No matter when he and Fei Yin came out of Heilong Realm, but we were still too late to arrive." He told him. 

Jing Kang's expression tightened, and he looked at Lei Ling bawling his heart out, being the one crying the loudest. He felt very uncomfortable and pained hearing Lei Ling cry. But, who can blame him? Them? Not only Cheng Sheng is on the verge of death, but Fei Yin, the eldest disciple, died. 

Meanwhile, You Rou, Zheng Yi and Qian Lin were redressing Cheng Sheng's wounds and continuously fed him with magic pills and potions. Meanwhile, Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing gave Cheng Sheng their qi since Cheng Sheng's cultivation also has dropped. But, no one spoke that it was Chen Han who stabbed Cheng Sheng. This would deal more blow to the Xinfaxian Sect disciples, especially to Li Tian who is Chen Han's fiancé. 

"We're going back now." Jing Bai spoke. "You continue guarding the ship and tighten the barrier. You should activate the Millennium Ship's barrier, to be safe." He told Jing Kang and glanced at Lei Ling who is still crying, still unwilling to accept the fact that Fei Yin is dead, and Cheng Sheng is hanging in between life and death. 

Obviously, Lei Ling's mental and emotional state are currently unstable. 

"I will." Jing Kang spoke. 

"Ah Hei. Let's go." Jing Bai spoke. 

"Ah…" Qian Lin muttered, hesitating whether to leave with Jing Bai and Jing Hei or continue helping the Xinfaxian Sect disciples in redressing Cheng Sheng's wounds that seemed unable to stop bleeding because they were still absent-minded. 

"Leave with them." Li Tian spoke. 

Qian Lin and Zheng Yi looked at him. But, Li Tian didn't speak again and just neatly dressed Cheng Sheng's wound on his arm. Feng Mo, Lei Qing and You Rou noticed Li Tian's silence, and finally woke up from their sorrow. 

"Sorry." Lei Qing spoke and hurriedly wiped her tears. But, her eyes are bloodshot. "We'll follow you back." She said. "Xiao Ling." She called, but Lei Ling was unable to hear her because he's still deeply hurt from their loss. "Lei Ling!" she yelled and raised her hand. 

SLAP! A loud slap resounded in the Millennium Ship. Everyone was stunned and looked at Lei Qing, wide-eyed. 

"Jie…" Lei Ling called, sounds aggrieved. For his elder sister slapping or their sect's loss, it can be guessed that it's the latter. 

Lei Qing pursed her lips, holding back her tears and sorrow. "Shimei. You continue healing Cheng-shidi. Lei Ling. Guard the ship with Jing Kang. Li Tian and Feng Mo and I are going back to help shifu and founder avenge Fei Yin and Cheng… Sheng…" her voice halted and she sobbed. "Lei Ling. If we also lose this ship…" she looked at Lei Ling. 

Lei Ling started and he shook his head, then wiped his tears. "I'll guard the ship. Guarding the ship means guarding da shixiong and Cheng-shixiong." He said, his voice still sounds broken but now firm. 

"Good." Lei Qing spoke as she took a deep breath, holding the hilt of her sword tight. 

Everyone stared at her and admired her. She's strong, physically, emotionally and mentally. 

Li Tian saw Feng Mo's tears are about to fall and he patted his back. "Let's go." He turned to Jing Bai and Jing Hei. 

Qian Lin and Zheng Yi immediately rose and stood beside them. "Yes!" they answered. 

"Be careful." You Rou spoke in a hoarse voice. 

They all nodded and jumped off of the ship, meeting the demonic cultivators who flew to attack the ship. 

Jing Kang watched them, his chest filled with emotions before he took a deep breath to calm himself. "Ling Ling." He called. 

Lei Ling wiped his tears and stood beside Jing Kang. "Let's do this!" he said and gritted his teeth. 

Jing Kang nodded and they closed their eyes as their hands moved, manipulating the talismans forming a barrier surrounding the Millennium Ship. Then, after a while, the whole ship shuddered, followed by a bright light appearing and coating the whole ship, blinding the demonic cultivators that near the ship. 

"AAAAAH!!!" the demonic cultivator screamed and fled, but how can the disciples let them escape? So, one cry after another was heard around the Millennium Ship as the demonic cultivators fell from their swords and into the ground, dead. 

Li Tian turned and saw Chen Han's figure in the battleground. He felt his heart throbbed in pain and he descended, going to Chen Han's direction. Jing Cheng is fighting Chen Han. 

"Shixiong!" Feng Mo cried when he saw Li Tian disappeared and turned to see Li Tian flying straight towards Chen Han. He immediately followed him. 

Lei Qing turned when she heard Feng Mo's voice, only to see Feng Mo's disappearing figure. Without hesitation, she flew after him. Jing Bai, Jing Hei, Qian Lin and Zheng Yi turned, only to see this scene.

Jing Bai tiredly sighed. He looked at the bright light covering the Millennium Ship. "The ship will be safe with its own barrier and won't easily fall." he spoke. 

Jing Hei, Qian Lin and Zheng Yi know that he's just making an excuse. "Then, let's go." Zheng Yi spoke. 

"En!" they answered, and followed the Xinfaxian Sect disciples who always love to create troubles. 

On the ground. 

Chen Jing and Xie Lan are fighting against Wu Ran while Wu Fan and Fan Wen, although itching to kill Wu Ran, are killing the demonic cultivators along with Fei Lin and Xi Ling, who almost razed the ground, too, and Qian Tian and Jing Rui. Jing Cheng is fighting against Chen Han. 

"I thought the peace has made your skills rusted." Wu Ran spoke as he blocked both Chen Jing's punch and dodged to avoid Xie Lan's attack. 

"Just one of us is enough to kill you!" Xie Lan said through his gnashed teeth as he threw another attack while Chen Jing landed a kick, then somersaulted in the air. 

"Fcking dead people!" Wu Fan cursed as he and Fan Wen blew away all the demonic cultivators that surrounded them two. 

"Useless pieces of shits." Fan Wen cursed as he murderously glared at the corpses of the demonic cultivators on the ground. 

Wu Fan was startled to hear Fan Wen cursed. He has always seen Fan Wen docile and gentle all these years. But, it was reasonable for one's temper to change after suffering a loss in their family, much less two losses. 

"FATHER!!!" a familiar voice called, piercing through the screams and shouts in the battleground. 

Wu Fan sharply turned and his eyes widened when he saw Wu Yuan flying along with Sun Yi, Wu Xi and the Huakai Sect. "Yuan-er!" he called and waved as his eyes reddened, then his tears fell. He ran towards them and hugged Wu Yuan tight. 

"Father!" Wu Yuan hugged him back. 

Wu Fan chuckled and patted Wu Yuan's back and cupped his face, staring at his son's handsome face for a long time. He was about to speak when Wu Ran's loud voice roared in anger. 

"The Chen Clan?!?!?!" Wu Ran was shocked to see the rows of people coming. "Qian Shan… Shu Ji!!!" he exclaimed when he saw Shu Mu's father. "And… Qian Su!!!" he added when he saw Qian Shan's wife.

They all were supposed to be dead!
