The Scum Is A ***

Although they have already seen the special rules about these helpers, they didn't take it seriously when the special rule said that the two would also be stealing points from them. There should be others who also think so, so Wu Tie and Jin Yu knows that they will also be taught a hard lesson by xiao Bao and xiao Ling like what they did to them just now.

"You stay here. I'll go find us food." Jin Yu told Wu Tie as he helped the other lean his back on the tree to rest. "The Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples should also be farming for points. I'll try if I can buy magic pills and potions from them so you can recover faster." He told him when he remembered that they have run out of magic pills and potions, as well as talismans.

"Yeah." Wu Tie answered as he closed his eyes. Fortunately, xiao Bao didn't wound him and just exhausted him.

It looked like those two really just want to mess with them. Even if the two didn't wound them, it still make their teeth itch in frustration since they can't even fight back against xiao Bao and xiao Ling.

"But, those two are strange." Jin Yu spoke when he recalled something.

Wu Tie looked at him. "Do you think they are…" like us? He thought, thinking of their relationship.

But, Jin Yu is actually thinking otherwise. His pensive gaze met Wu Tie's and the two came to a tacit understanding.

"Spirit servants?!" Wu Tie exclaimed.

"En." Jin Yu nodded. "They are crazily strong." He said.

Wu Tie helplessly smiled. Jin Yu was just an accident. It was already enough for Jin Yu to be this strong. But, Wu Tie only needed a company that time. Jin Yu becoming a cultivator has already exceeded his expectations.

"We'll know who they are after this stage." He just said and closed his eyes for a rest.

"Yes." Jin Yu nodded in agreement and left to find food for them.

…

Meanwhile, the Shanliangde Sect has finally found the person they are looking for. They saw that it was a disciple and that he fainted. Fei Huo's anger immediately disappeared and was replaced by pity. He rushed to the disciple and woke him up before he fed him potion for the other to regain his strength.

Not long after and the disciple opened his eyes. His eyes held fear at first before they regained clarity. When he saw who are they, he sighed in relief. "It's the Shanliangde Sect…" he weakly muttered.

"What happened to you?" Fei Huo asked with concern.

The others also are puzzled. It was still early in the third stage, and just three days ago before the first elimination period. How can the participants suddenly become this exhausted? They thought and looked at each other with their gazes talking.

"That… that damn rogue… cultiv… ator…" the disciple spoke.

"Isn't this uniform of the MuliSu Sect?" Sun Ri spoke when she recognized the bloodied clothes of the disciple. She went and clumsily bandaged the disciple's wounds that looked graved.

"It wasn't a demon or demons who attacked you?" Xi Bing asked in surprise.

The MuliSu Sect disciple derisively laughed. "I'd rather have the demons chase me than that damn rogue cultivator!" he said.

Fei Luo frowned. "I remember that there are two of you. Where is your shixiong or shidi?" he asked.

"I and shixiong fought yesterday." The MuliSu Sect disciple answered and flushed in shame. Then, his eyes narrowed as he clenched his fists. "I only heard what happened to my shixiong after that rogue cultivator told me that he tricked my shixiong and he said that my shixiong… my shixiong died…" his tears fell. "My shixiong is a simple person, so he definitely must be tricked by that damn bastard! While I had my guard up since the start so this damn bastard tried to kill me! I managed to escape from him after I casted a spell." He explained.

Sun Yan's brows furrowed. "No one should die in this competition since we have those helpers." He spoke.

The MuliSu Sect disciple nodded in agreement. "I also realized that now." He smiled in relief, thinking that his shixiong is still alive. He still wanted to apologize to him.

"Which rogue cultivator is this?" Xi He frowned.

"His name is 'Ke Lu'. I remembered, since that bastard has shifty and crafty eyes." the MuliSu Sect disciple answered.

"What is your name?" Fei Huo asked as he and Sun Ri helped him up.

"I am Lu Xiu. My shixiong is Ning Zhe." Lu Xiu answered and coughed. "Thank you for your help." He told them.

"'Ning Zhe'?" Fei Luo muttered, feeling that the name sounds familiar.

"Ah." Sun Yan muttered when he remembered something. He looked at Lu Xiu. "I remember now. It was your fellow disciples that Fei Luo, Wu Lian and I fought during the group battles. They cried after they lost and their shixiong comforted them." he explained. "I didn't remember until now since your uniform…" he said and looked at the blue uniform that almost turned red because of blood.

It is a miracle that Lu Xiu is still alive until now.

Lu Xiu nodded. "Honestly, our da shixiong and I have a bad relationship. But, we still managed to reach the third stage together." He confessed.

The Shanliangde Sect fell silent, and the audience wanted to laugh since the Shanliangde Sect obviously also have internal conflict.

"You… wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go alone?" Fei Huo asked and scratched his head.

"We can't take him with us." Fei Luo immediately spoke.

Xi He snorted. He agreed with Fei Luo for once.

"But…" Fei Huo hesitated.

"I know. Can… I ask you favor for one last time?" Lu Xiu asked. "Can… you bring me to the Xinfaxian Sect? I have something to tell them about that Ke Lu." He told them.

"What is it?" the Shanliangde Sect disiciples asked.

"That Ke Lu… he shouldn't be from our land…" Lu Xiu answered.

They were shocked. "Why did you say that?" they asked.

Lu Xiu laughed. "I am familiar with our fellow cultivators' techniques. That bastard… his attack surprised me thus he gained the upper-hand." He coughed and held his chest.

The Shanliangde Sect wanted to curse but they are cultured… aside from Xi He who cursed. "An enemy?!" Xi He exclaimed as he gripped his sword.

"You… also be careful." Lu Xiu told them as he closed his eyes. "That guy…" he coughed.

"Was he poisoned?!" Fei Huo exclaimed when he noticed Lu Xiu's irregular breathing.

"Let's take him to see the Xinfaxian Sect first!" Xi Bing said.

Fei Huo and Sun Yan carried Lu Xiu who fainted.

…

"Lu Xiu was poisoned. But, Cui Xiang should be able to cure it. The poison isn't serious." Cheng Sheng calmly spoke. "Lu Xiu fainted because he was already exhausted and his mental and emotional state aren't good after he thought that his fellow disciple died. He also found out he was poisoned and panicked, so the poisoned flared up." he explained.

The audience immediately sighed in relief when they heard his reassurance. They already felt concerned with the MuliSu Sect disciples after they saw Ning Zhe was reduced to such state by Ke Lu. Now, it was lu Xiu. Fortunately, Lu Xiu is steadfast. Thus, he didn't easily fall into Ke Lu's hands and became the second Ning Zhe.

"Should we stop the competition and take out this Ke Lu?" Zheng Yi asked Cheng Sheng and Zheng Fu Gong and Pai Lie are hesitating.

"No." Cheng Sheng answered.

Everyone was surprised by his answer. They saw that the participants are falling one by one because of Ke Lu but Cheng Sheng doesn't want to stop the competition?!

"The purpose of the competition isn't to make them more reliant on us, but to hone their skills for them to become independent and better people than they did before." Cheng Sheng spoke. "If we stop the competition now, it will be halting their development. Everyone has to face hardships and even had to sacrifice something in order to gain something." He explained.

Everyone fell silent before they sighed in sympathy towards their disciples. They can't stop now. They also know that Cheng Sheng's words don't mean just this. He actually also wants to train them for there will be an even bigger storm that will come. The competition is just a small storm to the participants.

If they can't even survive this small storm, what will happen to them, then, when the big storm comes? They will definitely die.

…

The disciples naturally don't know the concern but also the tough love of their sect leaders and elders have towards them.

"We are ready!" Chen Su yelled.

"The demons are within the ideal distance. You can now go lure them here." Fei Yinzi told Wu Lian and the others.

"Yes!" the baits left very fast like they are riding the wind.. Meanwhile, Fei Yinzi, Su Yi, the Chen trio brothers, Ling Yun, He Shun and Qian Meng hid and waited for the demons to come and fall to their trap.
