Chapter 588 - The Scum Is A Virus

Cheng Sheng, who should be so tense, looked very relaxed despite his two disciples would be facing against his sword spirit. On the contrary, it was the other elders who are tensed instead. But of course, it was Cheng Sheng who set this all up, so how can he feel worried? Instead, he wanted this to happen that's why he set this up!

"Only when they are in danger can they grow faster." Cheng Sheng said with a smile on his lips as he watched the participants fight against xiao Bao and xiao Ling.

Everyone as they looked at him. "…" are you sure this isn't you just being a sadist?! They thought, though they shut up since they know that whatever they will say can't change Cheng Sheng's mind. Even if Fei Yin speaks, he can't influence Cheng Sheng.

Instead, he will be influenced by Cheng Sheng. Just look at what happened to Zheng Yi. Cheng Sheng is like an incurable disease that spreads fast and wide, and no one is able to escape. If Fei Yin would hear their thoughts and find out that they think of Cheng Sheng as a virus, he will laugh but agree. Cheng Sheng is indeed a virus since even he, the Keeper of the Ten Thousand Dimensions, not to mention the Devourer, were influenced by Cheng Sheng.

Speaking of Devourer, it was really a grueling battle that he fought. He and the Devourer were originally of equal in power since they are just one 'person'. But, the Devourer's power increased as it ate the other worlds. He, lord Yin, was surpassed by the Devourer and sooner than later would be devoured by the Devourer, making it totally replacing him. If not for Xi Tong, carefully laying out a meticulous plan, as well as Cheng Sheng's divine power that Cheng Sheng gave him before Xi Tong pulled him away from the xianxia world, Fei Yin highly doubts that he could ever return in the xianxia world, much less remain 'alive',

But, his strong will to return to Cheng Sheng's side reignited his fighting spirit against the Devourer. In the end, it was a success and the Devourer was successfully eliminated. And he returned to the xianxia world, by Cheng Sheng's side. It was not too late. And, fortunately, he managed to return in time.

…

Chen Wu and Wu Lian looked at Fei Luo and Sun Yan, and Wu Tie and Jin Yu before them. An awkward but also tense atmosphere surrounded them six.

"Initiate attack against xiao Bao and xiao Ling?" Wu Lian straightforwardly asked.

"Yes." Sun Yan answered with a smile while Fei Luo frowned.

Wu Tie and Jin Yu are silent but they looked relaxed. They don't care about the other four with them.

"There are six of us here… if xiao Bao and xiao Ling will attack us, we will lose six times worth of the points they will deduct us." Chen Wu spoke.

Fei Luo, Sun Yan, Wu Tie and Jin Yu sharply turned. Chen Wu has already guessed that since Fei Luo, Sun Yan, Wu Tie and Jin Yu appeared here, they have already guessed, too, about this condition regarding the deduction of their points.

The Shanliangde Sect has always acted as a group. But, only Sun Yan and Fei Luo are here thus they must have split up after finding out this condition. Meanwhile, although Wu Tie and Jin Yu always acted as a pair, they appeared here in the forbidden area where xiao Bao and xiao Ling 'resided'. This means that they have decided to act active and not remain passive. Wu Tie has the guts to act in a risky manner and Jin Yu always have faithfully followed him.

"What do you suggest?" Wu Tie asked in a carefree manner. He knows his situation isn't ideal. There are only him and Jin Yu while the Shanliangde Sect has six people. And the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect have the most people. So, he doesn't have any intention of going against them.

"Speak." Fei Luo finally spoke. He also knows when to and not to fight. He also can read their situation, and obviously it isn't ideal for them to fight against each other now.

Not only will they lose six times worth of points if xiao Bao and xiao Ling will find them here, they also will definitely hold each other back because they lack a sense of unity, which will make them be beaten up more by xiao Bao and xiao Ling, who are very good in finding opportunities to beat their opponents more.

Thinking this, they all grimaced. Their future really looked bleak.

Chen Wu coughed to regain his composure. "Let us decide who will strike xiao Bao and xiao Ling first." He proposed.

As expected, there was silence. Being the first to strike has its own advantage and disadvantage. Its advantage is that you can see the initial performance of your opponents and test the extent of their strength. Of course, there is no need to see the extent of xiao Bao's and xiao Ling's strengths. The advantage here of being the first one to strike them is that they can see if xiao Bao and xiao Ling would have a slip up after their surprise attack.

On the other hand, the disadvantage is that xiao Bao and xiao Ling would have already expected this, and so this opportunity to be the first one to strike lost its purpose. Also, they actually will be giving the others an opportunity to observe xiao Bao and xiao Ling while they were waiting.

Being the last one to strike also has its own advantage and disadvantage. The advantage is that they can observe the battlefield first and their opponents' moves and formulate a plan to counterattack, and their opponents might be worn out from their previous battles. But, the disadvantage is that their opponents could also formulate a plan after fighting others and learned their moves. In short, they will be more prepared to face against them.

Of course, the middle one also has its own advantage and disadvantage. The advantage is that they don't have to bear the aggressiveness of their opponents by being the first to fight them, nor they also have to bear to fall in their tactics as the last ones to fight them. The disadvantage is that their opponents might not 'perform' well in fighting against them since they either have spent all their energy in their previous battle, or are saving their energy for their last battle after them. Thus, they won't be able to gouge out much information from their opponents, since their opponents obviously would act cautiously against them.

Fei Luo, Sun Yan, Wu Tie and Jin Yu have fallen silent as they seriously pondered over this, weighing the pros and cons.

"You suggested this… this means that you already considered the chances, right?" Sun Yan asked as he looked at Chen Wu and Wu Lian.

Wu Lian honestly nodded. "Yes." he confessed.

Sun Yan smiled. They really liked Wu Lian's upright and honest attitude, so he and Fei Luo have no suspicion on Chen Wu's suggestion. Also, even though it was Cheng Sheng who pit them all, Chen Wu obviously also is suffering along with them. So, why would Chen Wu, who is on the same boat as them, would pit them like his uncle did? He will just be making enemies with them after he pits them. Chen Wu definitely won't do this, since they believe in his character. Also, he has his two brothers with him in tow, who are his weaknesses.

Wu Tie also knows this thus he just shrugged, silently acquiescing. Jin Yu obviously follows his decision.

"How do we decide? By voting?" Wu Tie asked.

"No." Wu Lian answered. "Let's draw lots." He spoke as he took out three sticks of different lengths and then placed it inside a box before he shook it.

Fei Luo's expression eased while Sun Yan chuckled, feeling amused. Wu Tie was surprised while Jin Yu silently followed behind Wu Tie.

"To show our sincerity, we will pick last." Chen Wu told them.

Jin Yu looked at him in surprise, but also wasn't surprised. He already heard about the Youxiwang Sect's benevolent attitude. They are like saints. So, it was very shocking to know how they produced someone like Cheng Sheng.

"You pick one." Sun Yan told Fei Luo.

Fei Luo nodded indifferently. At the same time he picked up a stick, Wu Tie also moved. Fei Luo's eyes narrowed while Wu Tie grinned. Chen Wu already expected that they will be disobedient. He looked at Wu Lian.

Wu Lian doesn't need to be told by Chen Wu. He threw the box in the air. The box turned and the sticks fell. Fei Luo and Wu Tie jumped at the same time and each of them caught one before they fell back on the ground. Meanwhile, Chen Wu caught the last, falling stick.
