The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 664 – The Scum Is Unpleasant

Zheng Fu Gong rubbed his temples as he watched them all fly away to follow Lei Qing and the Xinfaxian Sect who flew after her.

"Dong Cheng is indeed behaving strange for a son who has a father currently sick." Zheng Yi spoke as he watched the sky where a group of black figures gradually fading to the east direction.

As expected, Dong Cheng directly returned to the east.

"The Dongcheng Sect is in the East where the Xinfaxian Sect also is." Jing Rui spoke.

They all looked at him.

"The Xinfaxian Sect is impenetrable, but how about the Dongcheng Sect?" Jing Rui asked and looked at them. "Despite Cheng Sheng already erected a barrier in the entire east and to each sect in the east, including the Dongcheng Sect, how can it compare to the Xinfaxian Sect's barriers?" he said.

"Indeed." Wu Tong nodded in agreement as his face turned serious. "Cheng Sheng erected a barrier for all the sects as a precaution but who would expect that an enemy really would arrive and is strong?" he asked.

The barriers erected by Cheng Sheng can only fend off the demons. But people?

"So, the enemy is getting impatient and finally moved against one of the sects, huh." He Run's brows knitted.

Hui Qiu sighed, feeling pity for the Dongcheng Sect. They didn't go with the other sect leaders because they can't leave the Zhongyang with no one behind. They can only pray that the Dongcheng Sect would survive this calamity of theirs.

…

East, Dongcheng Sect.

"Sect leader!" the disciples cried after they saw that their sect leader, Dong Cheng's father, spat out a mouthful of blood both due to his sickness and also Dong Chi's attack. "Dong Chi, you are going too far!" they said and glared at Dong Chi who is maliciously grinning at Dong Chi's father.

Dong Chi naturally ignored them. "Uncle, do you know why I was being obedient to Dong Cheng?" he asked. "Even throwing away my pride just to get in his good graces? It was because I am waiting to gain his trust so that I can trample him! Avenge myself!" he said as he gnashed his teeth in anger.

Dong Cheng's father didn't answer. His face is extremely pale.

"Are you dying now, uncle? Please don't yet. You should wait for Dong Cheng. I still want to see his desperate face when he fails to save you." Dong Chi said.

Dong Cheng's father spat out another mouthful of blood. He didn't expect that his brother who were lame since he was a child has been secretly poisoning him until a week ago, the accumulated poison dealt him a heavy blow. Hew as about to confront him but then his brother committed suicide! He also didn't expect for Dong Chi to ally with the enemies! This pair of shameless father and son has been plotting against them for a long time!

Fortunately, he and their disciples managed to let Dong Cheng escape. As long as Dong Cheng is alive, they won't die with so much regret.

Dong Chi seemed to have guessed the thoughts of Dong Cheng's father. "Uncle, are you still thinking that Dong Cheng would be able to call for help from the other sects?" he asked and smiled.

Dong Cheng's father suddenly had a bad feeling.

As expected, he heard Dong Chi spoke. "You are underestimating me, uncle. You have always been!" he said and kicked Dong Cheng's father.

One of the disciples immediately pushed him away, preventing his kick from landing on their sect leader.

"The enemies have already surrounded all the escape routes to prevent Dong Cheng from escaping." Dong Chi said, crushing the hope in their hearts.

Dong Cheng's father was stunned and his heart sank. He can't believe what Dong Chi said.

"Don't worry, uncle. As soon as we catch him, I will personally send both of you off!" Dong Chi said and smiled as he left.

Dong Cheng's father can't take it anymore and he fainted.

…

Zhongyang.

"What the hell…!" everyone sharply inhaled after they opened Dong Cheng's clothes and saw his wounds.

"He has hidden it deeply!" Feng Mo frowned as he looked at Dong Cheng's pale face. 

Fortunately, Lei Qing reacted fast and followed Dong Cheng so they caught him before he can leave Zhongyang. But, as soon as they grabbed him, he suddenly hissed in pain. They were shocked to see that his clothes are soaked with blood! He was actually holding it in, suppressing the pain he felt and when he finally left, his wounds bled again!

"The Dongcheng Sect has really been attacked." Li Tian frowned as they watched You Rou start treating Dong Cheng's wounds.

"He must have a hard time escaping." Qian Tian, who is guarding You Rou, read again the letter that they found on Dong Cheng's clothes. "Sect leader Dong was poisoned by his brother that committed suicide after while Dong Chi, Dong Cheng's cousin, colluded with the enemies… tch." He frowned.

"Don't worry. I had Wu Bai follow the sect leaders so that his puppets could help them in case they will be attacked by the enemies' spirit servants and those disgusting insects." Feng Mo told them.

Li Tian and Qian Tian nodded.

"But, Dong Cheng really hid this matter deeply…" Li Tian muttered. "He must be afraid that Dong Chi would kill his father and fellow disciples if he would call for help. He came to Zhongyang to actually just…" he didn't continue.

Dong Cheng came to Zhongyang not to ask for help, but to confess to Lei Qing since he must be planning to die with his father and fellow disciples when he returns to Dongcheng. He already knows that his father's sickness can't be cured, so he already lost hope that his father and their sect can be saved. Thus, he only confessed to Lei Qing so that he won't have regrets when he dies.

"This man is really brave." Qian Tian sighed with admiration. "And strong." he added.

Feng Mo and Li Tian nodded in agreement. For Dong Cheng to be able to escape and travel this far without being chased by the enemies, he must have killed the enemies pursuing him so that they won't be able to return and report of his escape and buy some time for himself before Dong Chi kills his father and fellow disciples in anger.

"Fortunately, he has improved." Li Tian sighed in relief.

"En." Feng Mo nodded in agreement when he recalled that time when Dong Cheng and Lei Qing fought.

"… huh?" they heard You Rou mutter.

They immediately turned. "What's wrong?" they asked.

"Uh… this…" You Rou answered and showed them a blood-stained magic pill bottle.

"What's wrong with it?" Qian Tian asked.

But, Li Tian and Feng Mo recognized the bottle.

"This is… shijie's magic pill bottle." You Rou answered. "That time, it was only Cheng-shixiong who are giving us magic pills and potions since I have yet to master my skills." She said as she looked at the magic pill bottle. "Cheng-shixiong actually then made personalized magic pills." She said.

"'personalized magic pills'?" Qian Tian asked.

You Rou nodded as he looked at him. "Because shijie often fights, Cheng-shixiong refined magic pills for her that can temporarily ease the pain and slow down the bleeding of the wounds." She explained. "And… this bottle is the bottle that contains the magic pills he personalized for her." She said and looked at Dong Cheng.

Qian Tian was shocked. "So, this is the magic pills that he ate to hide his wounds from us earlier?!" he exclaimed.

You Rou nodded in affirmation. She feels sad for Dong Cheng and Lei Qing.

Li Tian and Feng Mo took a deep breath. "He actually kept the magic pill bottle…" they said and sighed with emotion.

Qian Tian also looked at Dong Cheng with admiration in his eyes. He had a newfound respect for Dong Cheng.

…

East, Dongcheng Sect.

"Why aren't you killing them yet?" someone asked Dong Chi.

Dong Chi turned and saw the foreign man who helped him capture Dong Cheng's father and the disciples. "Why are you in a hurry?" he asked.

The man glared at him. "Time is of essence!" he answered.

Dong Chi's brows raised. "Are you afraid that other people might arrive and help Dong Cheng and his father?" he asked. "Don't worry. Dong Cheng can't escape. Not to mention that your subordinates are tracking him now, I know him." he said. "Dong Cheng won't leave Dongcheng because his father is here, as well as his friends, which are his fellow disciples. He doesn't have the heart to leave them here while he escape alone." He explained.

The man glared at him. "It better be!" he said and stormed off.

Dong Chi sneered after the man left.. "Who do you think you are, putting airs in front of me? You are just an outsider!" he said and gritted his teeth in anger.
