The Scum Is A ***

"Urgh!" the audience grunted in disgust and anger when they saw that the disciple that Ke Lu tricked almost was eaten by the demons after Ke Lu suddenly left him behind.

The disciple thought that Ke Lu is about to prepare to fight but not only Ke Lu pushed him to the incoming demons, he also stole his qiankun pouch which contains all is magic pills and potions and talismans! This is leaving him to absolutely die!

"FCK!" everyone cursed and cursed Ke Lu to death and glared at Ke Lu's figure projected. Their teeth are grinding against each other, as if they can't wait to bit Ke Lu to death.

The sect leader of the disciple clutched his heart and almost fainted when he looked at his disciple in horror being surrounded by the demons. Fortunately, his disciple has a spirit and he didn't despair even if Ke Lu left him to despair. He resumed fighting the demons and were injured.

"Withdraw! Have him withdraw! From the competition!" the sect leader wailed as he looked at Zheng Fu Gong and Pai Lie. "He is just a kid… he is still a kid! I won't bear it if he'll lose even just a finger!" he said.

Zheng Fu Gong and Pai Lie nodded. Their expressions grave. They have already made many plans with Zheng Yi for this year's competition to launch without a hitch but they didn't expect for a participant to make countless troubles and harm the other participants.

Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin are closely watching and they had already sent Bai Tan, xiao Bao and xiao Ling to save the disciple earlier. Thus, everyone saw a flash of white first before two more flashes of light appeared after and killed all the demons around. Meanwhile, Bai Tan carefully took the disciple inside his space and flew away.

The next second and Bai Tan appeared on the stage, and Cheng Sheng and You Rou, who Qian Tian sent with on his sword, landed along with Zheng Yi after Bai Tan took the disciple out of its space.

"Shimei. Disinfectants." Cheng Sheng instructed as he took out Cleaning Talismans to clean the disciple's clothes that are drenched in blood, sweat and also with some dirt mixed.

The Righteous Alliance disciples also brought some warm water as Zheng Yi instructed.

"Yes!" You Rou answered as she opened her qiankun pouch.

The audience roared in anger when they saw the disciple's condition. The sect leader of the disciple cried but conscientiously didn't approach his disciple since Cheng Sheng and You Rou are still treating his disciple who had fainted due to blood loss.

"Sect leader Su. Don't worry. He didn't lose a limb or a finger, and the wounds are all scratches." Cheng Sheng spoke as he stitched the disciple's open wound after You Rou cleaned it before she moved to clean the other wounds. "The scratches will also disappear if you regularly apply a scar removing cream on it." He added.

The female audience heard what Cheng Sheng said and they recommended some effective creams to the sect leader after they saw that this sect leader is very kind towards his disciple. Meanwhile, the men comforted the sect leader. Although everyone enjoy watching the competition, they naturally don't wish for any of the participants to be injured, much less lose their life.

After all, this is just a competition to show-off strength and not to claim lives. Moreover, most of the participants are young and filled with dreams when they entered the competition. If they lose their life, how can they still fulfill their dreams? Thus, they all loathed Ke Lu, this shady and shameless rogue cultivator!

"Say, do you think that he is a spy sent by the enemy to infiltrate and ruin the competition?" someone from the audience asked. "Not to mention that he really is harming the other participants, who are mostly disciples." He added.

"Although you have a point, we can't be reckless when saying something!" someone told him and patted his shoulder. "Although I am also suspicious to this Ke Lu, we can't remove the fact that there are also some perverse people out there that likes to see others suffering to the point of dying." He said.

Cheng Sheng silently listened to the audience, likewise Zheng Yi did. Their expressions changed but they immediately recovered their expressions to not make the people notice anything.

"Sect leader Su. Your disciple is already out of harm but remained unconscious because he was physically exhausted. So, you can let him have a rest." Cheng Sheng told him.

Sect leader Su nodded and thanked them before he followed the Righteous Alliance disciples who took his disciple to the infirmary. Cheng Sheng and Zheng Yi didn't linger on the stage as they have thought of something so they immediately returned to their seats with Qian Tian following behind them as he took You Rou back.

"I won't hide it from you." Cheng Sheng spoke as soon as Fei Yin erected a barrier, after seeing that he wanted to say something, to prevent others from spectating on them. "I noticed that Ke Lu really have a problem." He told them.

They all aren't surprised. After all, the enemies are very deeply hiding and Ke Lu is very hostile against the other participants.

"But, we can't just accuse him because of our suspicion, much less accuse him just out of our own observation." Cheng Sheng continued. "This is subjective. This is unreasonable even if we might be highly likely correct with our judgement. " he told them.

They all nodded in agreement. They aren't stupid. They can't just recklessly accuse someone, and with such a heavy crime at that even if everyone witnessed that person's despicable deeds. They needed an evidence.

"Where can we find an evidence, though?" Jing Bai asked.

"We already have it." Cheng Sheng answered.

"Huh?" they muttered.

Suddenly, Li Tian loudly gasped. "Cheng-shidi, could it be, that sword that xiao Yi picked up after Qian Meng dropped it?!" he exclaimed.

"What?!" everyone exclaimed. They only thought that Qian Meng picked up Ke Lu's sword to lessen the other's defense by losing a weapon while Su Yi picked it up as a spoil of war. Who could have thought that it was actually an evidence to pin Ke Lu for his crime?! They gaped at Cheng Sheng in shock.

"But, we have to wait for the third stage to finish to arrest Ke Lu." Zheng Yi sighed.

Everyone nodded in understanding. Ke Lu is still a participant after all and the evidence is on Su Yi's hands thus they can't make a move yet.

"Damn it. What a big conspiracy!" Lei Qing frowned.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Not only he is infiltrating us and is ruining the competition, he also wants to harm the disciples and other participants." Jing Kang spoke.

"Despicable! Extremely despicable!" Lei Ling said.

"Yes. We have to remove him from the competition as soon as the third stage finishes." Chen Han said.

"Yeah." Everyone agreed.

Zheng Yi then left to inform Zheng Fu Gong, Pai Lie, the rest of the Righteous Alliance, as well as the sect leaders. Although everyone was shocked, they somewhat also had an inkling in their hearts about Ke Lu. If even the audience can think of it, how can they not who already has an insider information? Thus, their expressions didn't even ripple on their faces.

…

Ke Lu whose identity has been exposed without him realizing, sinisterly laughed as he hid on top of the tree while watching a rogue cultivator fight against the demons. He is waiting for this idiot to drop his belongings in panic while fleeing so he can then pick up his belongings.

Of course, he also knows the special rules of the two helpers – xiao Bao and xiao Ling, appearing. But, if the participant isn't in danger, and it wouldn't be in the forbidden area, then the two won't appear that would halt Ke Lu's scavenging.

But, who would expect for xiao Bao and xiao Ling to suddenly appear without any warning?!

"Save… save me!!!" the rogue cultivator who is being chased by the demons saw two figures approaching. He thought that they are fellow participants so he called.

Xiao Bao didn't answer while xiao Ling lazily yawned. But, they are quick with their actions. Their two figures flashed, and even one can see afterimages. Then, in the blink of an eye, all the demons chasing the participant disappeared.

"Thank… thank you!" the participant spoke as he catches his breath.

"There were five demons, and each demon a point each. Give us five points." Xiao Bao spoke.

The rogue cultivator, although felt disappointed, he knew the special rules. So, he paid xiao Bao five points and immediately left in case xiao Bao would charge for more, or xiao Ling would also charge him.

Ke Lu who is also planning to leave didn't expect that something would pull his foot.. "AAH!" he screamed and fell from the tree.
