The Scum Is A ***

While the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect as well as the others that chose to hug their thighs are harmonious, the Shanliangde Sect's side is as cold as where the mountain their sect is located. Their surroundings are silent and even the mischievous Fei Huo is silent right now. Even his dumb brain could sense that Fei Luo, his older brother, is finally fed up with Xi He's attitude.

"If you still choose to be disobedient, then leave." Fei Luo coldly told Xi He.

Xi He glared at him.

"What? You have made our sect lose face many times, even more then Fei Huo did." Fei Luo said.

Fei Huo shrunk his neck, afraid that it would be his turn next to be lectured by his older brother.

"Xi Bing, you've got nothing to say?!" Xi He can't stand Fei Luo's condescending gaze. If they just don't belong to the same sect, he would have killed this bastard like Wu Tie!

"Don't drag the Xi Clan down with you just because you are surnamed Xi." Xi Bing told Xi He.

Xi He viciously glared at him. Then, suddenly, an idea struck him. He was about to say it when he met Xi Bing's ice-cold gaze. Suddenly, Xi He felt his heart thudded violently and his body turned cold. He wanted to open his mouth to speak but then felt that he can't move his lips nor utter a sound as he looked at Xi Bing's eyes.

He wanted to say that Xi Bing has liked Fei Huo and thought that is the reason why Xi Bing is agreeing to Fei Luo right now because Fei Luo is Fei Huo's older brother. But, he found that he can't speak. He knew, at this second, Xi Bing could kill him.

Cold sweat trickled down his face and he felt a chill in his spine. He has looked down on this cousin of his since he saw that Xi Bing looked dull. Xi Bing also didn't scold him before so he thought that Xi Bing is afraid of him, especially that Xi Ning is Xi Bing's mother.

Now, he thought wrong. Xi Bing actually never bothered himself with him because he is nothing in his eyes. Now, he almost touched his reverse-scale. Now, he doesn't dare open his mouth because he is afraid he will lose his tongue the instant he opens his mouth.

This lasted for only a second but Xi He felt like it was eternity. Sun Yan's eyes narrowed when he saw Xi He has gone silent while Xi Bing had a nonchalant expression. Sun Ri sensed that there was a change in the atmosphere and she can't help but shiver and scoot closer to Sun Yan.

Fei Luo sensed something but instantly missed it. "What?" he asked Xi He.

Xi He didn't speak. His whole body is uncontrollably shaking in fear of Xi Bing.

Fei Luo sneered and sat back on the log again after he placed a cloth in it for him to sit on so his clothes won't get dirtied. "What are your plans for these five days?" he asked. The first elimination period will be in five days.

"The added rule said that the threshold point will be revealed a day before the elimination period. This applies for the first and second elimination periods." Sun Yan spoke. "By the third elimination period, the threshold point will be revealed half a day before it. As for the last elimination period, which is the end of this stage, the threshold point will be revealed on that day." He said.

"That's right." Fei Luo nodded.

"So, as long as Ah Ri and I can make her points reach the threshold point when it was revealed, I have to consider her physical strength." Sun Yan said. This means Sun Yan can't farm points as much as they want to.

The others understood. Sun Ri, although she is stronger than the average girls, she is still a girl. Her physical strength is limited like Su Mi, Hui Na, Hui Qu and Hui Lu even if they are sword cultivators.

"I understand." Fei Luo spoke.

"Ge…" Sun Ri called.

"Don't argue. I have to look after you. This stage is harder than the previous stage, especially the condition of the environment." Sun Yan told her.

Sun Ri finally shut up. Unlike the elimination stage, the first stage, and the second stage, the third stage is set in a different environment, and they have to stay here for two weeks. That means that they have to eat, sleep and bathe in here, not to mention the constant dangers called the demons that may just pop out any time behind them.

…

The demons really could pop out any time. Qian Jue and Qian Meng was taught hard by this lesson after a participant seen them and lured the demons towards them to act as his meat shields while he fled away. Not only could they not react fast for everything happened too quickly, Qian Meng isn't as fast as Qian Jue when running so the demons soon caught them and surrounded them.

"You go first while I hold them off!" Qian Jue told Qian Meng.

"No!" Qian Meng is crying. Fortunately, his martial arts are good so he accurately dealt the demons with death blows.

"Just go! Find someone and ask for their help!" Qian Jue gnashed his teeth in anger. If he saw that participant, he will really kill him! If it was him just here, he could've managed to kill the demons and then kill that person after he killed the demons.

But, Qian Meng is here. He can't focus too much on the demons since Qian Meng might get hurt by the demons.

"Ge – " Qian Meng called. "Ugh!" he grunted when he was forcibly pushed by Qian Jue and his body flew, then fell hard on the ground.

"GO!" Qian Jue yelled as he killed the demon that tried to run after Qian Meng.

Qian Meng got no choice but to pray hard that he can see any participant that would be kind enough to help them and not pit them instead like what the previous participant did.

…

"Despicable!" the audience boo-ed when they saw the rogue cultivator that provoked a nest of demons, since he wants to earn points but the situation became beyond his expectations, fled and led the demons to the Qianxu Sect disciples. Then, he made them as his meat shields and resumed fleeing. They even saw him grinning.

Everyone wants to bit that participant to death. Qian Shan almost got a heart attack because of this when he saw Qian Meng's pale face. Qian Lin and Qian Tian are very worried, especially when they saw that Qian Meng found that rogue cultivator instead of the other participants and he begged him to help him save Qian Jue.

Only for this participant to suddenly threaten Qian Jue to go with him and act his meat shield once again. "FCK!" everyone cursed at this participant's shamelessness!

Qian Shan almost fainted in anger. Fortunately, there was Cheng Sheng to treat him.

"You shouldn't feel any extreme emotions right now like anger or sadness." Cheng Sheng spoke as he gave Qian Shan a magic pill. "It would halt your cultivation from returning to its former peak." He told him.

Qian Shan nodded in understanding and took a deep breath to calm his emotions. Fortunately, there is Cheng Sheng. He thought that he wouldn't recover his cultivation again and his seat as the sect leader would just be in-name.

But, Cheng Sheng told him that he has a way to recover his cultivation. And it worked. Though Qian Shan doesn't know how Cheng Sheng did it, he still felt grateful. He knows Cheng Sheng wouldn't harm him thus he trusts him.

"Qian Meng…" Qian Shan spoke when they all saw that the rogue cultivator has taken Qian Meng away.

"Don't worry. The perpetrator will be punished." Cheng Sheng said.

Zheng Fu Gong, Pai Lie and Zheng Yi on the side nodded in agreement.

"Qian Jue…" Qian Shan added.

"Bai Tan, xiao Bao and xiao Ling will appear if anyone will be in danger. Since they didn't, then Qian Jue should be safe." Cheng Sheng told him.

'safe'?! They thought and looked at Qian Jue being surrounded by the demons and he looked like he is on his last legs. How is this safe?! They wanted to ask but saw that Cheng Sheng's expression remained calm.

Everyone's eyes widened as they watched Qian Jue about to be eaten by demons. But, it never arrived since a sword flashed and everyone heard a voice spoke.

"Yo, we want to look for rabbits and pheasants but didn't expect to find demons instead?" it was Jing Xu.

The demons that are about to claw Qian Jue's head fell. Then, the other demons, too, after Su Yi's spell hit them.

Qian Jue turned. But, not to thank them. "… where is Qian Meng?" he asked when he didn't saw him.

"Huh? Wasn't he with you?" Tang Li asked.

Qian Jue's eyes widened. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Qian Meng… Qian Meng is in danger! He thought.. Using his sword, he rose.
