The Scum Is A

"WHA – " Lei Ling's and You Rou's faces paled in horror as their jaws dropped in shock.

The sound of explosion was mixed with maniacal laughter of a person. Ke Lu has arrived in the Xinfaxian Sect's and Youxiwang Sect's base and threw something to make it explode!

"FCK!" the audience clutched their chests as their faces paled in horror like Lei Ling and You Rou.

"My son!" He Run cried as he watched with widened eyes.

"Tang Li…" Tang Teng, Tang Zhe and Tang Yun looked in disbelief.

"Li Yan!" Kang Ce cried in anguish.

"Lu Xiu!" Su Wan and the now awake Ning Zhe cried along with the MuliSu Sect disciples. Another sect leader cried for the remaining disciple.

The Xinfaxian Sect elders' faces also were filled with horror. "No…" they muttered as their pupils shook while their hearts were eaten by fear.

Then, everyone saw Bai Tan arrived and fought against Ke Lu. The ripping sound struck everyone's hearts as they watched the Shapeshifting Blanket got ripped into pieces by Ke Lu. Their hearts ached, but immediately felt relief when xiao Bao and xiao Ling finally arrived and fought Ke Lu. They saw the Shapeshifting Blanket reconnected its pieces and flew to the exploded base, only for it to freeze.

"… huh?" they all muttered, feeling puzzled, when they saw the Shapeshifting Blanket stopped. Why did it stop? Won't it save the disciples in the base?

"How can it save people when they don't need to be saved?" a clear voice spoke.

Before everyone could react, they saw the cloud of dust disappeared, revealing a large array glistening under the sun as it surrounded the entire hill as a barrier. Everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

"Array?!" they exclaimed. Then, they all turned to look at Cheng Sheng. They saw the smirk on his face.

"Cheng-shixiong… you taught Wen Wen array?!" Lei Ling exclaimed.

"No – " Li Tian muttered in a daze as he watched Su Yi catch his breath. "It shouldn't be just Wen Wen…" he said and looked at Cheng Sheng.

Su Yi was smiling proudly when he looked at the array. Obviously, he had taken part in creating that array with Wen Wen.

"En." Cheng Sheng nodded. "This generation's disciples are very smart and obedient. They won't go west if you tell them to go east." He said as he blew off the non-existent dirt in his nails.

"But, arrays are…" Lei Ling wanted to speak but can't muster strength since he felt all his strength disappeared when he felt relieved after he saw that the base was safe.

"Naturally, I won't teach them the dangerous ones like teleportation arrays and offensive arrays like summoning arrays." Cheng Sheng said.

"Then, that array…" Chen Han spoke after he had recovered from his shock.

"Well…" Cheng Sheng muttered as he turned. "That array was created with spells and talismans as its foundations." He said.

"Huh?" they looked at him in puzzlement.

"There are many ways to create arrays. The most common one is Array Drawing, which you only need sufficient amount of qi to draw." Cheng Sheng said.

Pai Lie who heard from afar immediately ran to listen to Cheng Sheng's lecture.

Zheng Fu Gong. "…" is it fine for you to do this at this hour?! He thought and helplessly sighed.

Zheng Yi patted his back to comfort his grandfather. His grandfather doesn't have it easy.

"Then, the one that the disciples made…" they said.

"Yes. It is a defensive array like the one I made for the Yunxiao Inn." Cheng Sheng spoke. "But, this defensive array of theirs are a combination of talisman formation coated with layers of spells. The talisman formation as its base while the layers of spells surrounds it." He explained.

"This is… possible?!" Li Tian, Lei Ling and Jing Kang looked at each other.

"Of course!" Cheng Sheng answered.

"The Xinfaxian's defensive array is of the same type." Fei Yin told him.

Fan Wen, Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Ling, Lei Qing and You Rou. "… huh?" they muttered as they looked at the two. It is… the same?!

"The talismans I used for Xinfaxian's array were buried underground and serve as the pillars of the array. Meanwhile, the spells are scattered within the qi and would activate once it was touched, and other spells would replace them." Cheng Sheng explained. 

Everyone's jaws dropped in shock. "…" what the fck! What is this horrifying array?! This is a tri-layered array!

The Xinfaxian Sect elders who never knew that the array that kept them safe always actually is very, very dangerous. "…" sh*t. We suddenly felt scared going home… they thought as they felt their knees turned weak, even the always tough Lei Qing.

The other elders looked at them in pity. It is really hard for them…

"Then, what Su Yi and Wen Wen made is a double-layered array?" Xiao Le and Guo Cheng spoke, looking very interested.

"En." Cheng Sheng answered. "Naturally, these multiple-layered arrays are more formidable. Hmm…" he muttered when he suddenly thought of something.

Sun Yi suddenly smiled. "Junior Cheng, are you thinking of improving the array surrounding he Yunxiao Inn?" he asked.

Cheng Sheng turned and nodded. "Yes." he answered.

Everyone who are staying in the Yunxiao Inn suddenly shivered in fear. Although they would be safer, it would also become more dangerous for them in case they would touch the barrier. "…" fck. Is it too late to change inns now?! They thought.

But, this shouldn't what they think right now.

"Ke Lu… this guy is fearsome." Jing Kang spoke.

The others nodded in agreement.

"His stamina looked inexhaustible." Kang Ce frowned.

"En. What's more worrisome is we know too little of them, especially their fighting techniques and – " Tang Zhe took a deep breath. Tang Yun patted his back.

" – their weapons." Shu Mu's eyes narrowed. Xiao Le nodded beside him.

"We shouldn't belittle ourselves, though." Guo Cheng spoke.

Everyone turned to look at him. They saw him staring straight at the ongoing fight. They all turned back to look at the competition that turned to a brawl to kick the spy enemy and saw that Wen Wen and Cui Xiao came out along with Sun Ri. The other disciples plus to rogue cultivators Qi Lan and Jin Yu have returned to their base. Then, Fei Yinzi took Wen Wen with him to fly and attack Ke Lu while Sun Yan took Sun Ri and Su Mi took Cui Xiao following behind Fei Yinzi and Wen Wen.

"Just throw us later according to my instruction!" Wen Wen told Fei Yinzi as he grabbed Fei Yinzi's shoulder. Then, he turned to look at Sun Ri and Cui Xiao who both nodded.

Tang Li and Li Yan came out with Cui Xiang and He Shun for them to watch the fight and also to ask for updates from the others.

"Yes." Fei Yinzi nodded.

The audience are very puzzled with this conversation. Throw them later? Why? Just throw them?! they thought and looked at the disciples as if they had gone insane.

"They have a plan, and it will be very interesting, I think." Cheng Sheng spoke as he smirked.

The others looked at him and couldn't help but also feel excited. They have never gone throwing their friends before during a fight. But, these disciples dare to. What could they be planning? And they even gonna throw these. Precious. Mages?! In the air?!

They couldn't wait to see their performance.

….

"I don't think his energy is inexhaustible." Li Yan frowned as they watched xiao Bao and xiao Ling face-off against Ke Lu while Fei Yinzi and the others are flying towards them.

"I think so, too." Tang Li agreed.

"Did he take medicine or potion to boost his strength?" Xi He asked.

"A sensible question." Xi Bing looked at him. Then, they all turned to look at Cui Xiang.

Cui Xiang pondered. "Of course, there are many ways to boost one's strength and even increase his qi." She spoke. "Not to mention that we don't know anything about the land he came from, thus we can't conclude anything or can't be reckless in guessing." She added.

Everyone fell silent. Only the sound of the fight can they hear.

"It's not like this is irresolvable." Cui Xiang continued. "If there is a medicine that can make someone continue to be full of energy, then wouldn't we all ascend to heaven?" she asked.

They nodded, also have the same opinion as her.

"Then, what do you want to say?" Qi Lan asked.

"Everything has its limitation." Cui Xiang answered.

"Ah." They immediately understood.

"Time limit!" Fei Huo exclaimed.

As soon as his voice fell, Ke Lu sharply turned to him.

"Ah – " Fei Huo immediately hid behind the person nearest to him.

But, Ke Lu didn't have time to deal with Fei Huo since xiao Bao and xiao Ling is keeping him busy.. Not to mention that Fei Yinzi, Wen Wen and the others have now arrived. Ke Lu doesn't have much time!
