Chapter 661 - The Scum Is Lacking

Everyone looked at Cheng Sheng with their mouths agape, don't know what to say about Cheng Sheng's decision. But, at the last second, they also thought that they can't interfere with Cheng Sheng's decision, since this is his personal matter. Also, it was Cheng Sheng's own things he made himself! So, although these are very valuable to them, since it is not theirs, then they could only shut up.

They can only envy xiao Bao and xiao Ling, these two lucky sword spirits, for having such a master like Cheng Sheng!

"But hey, what do you think they are planning to do?" Xi Ming curiously asked as he rubbed his chin while he pondered.

The others also pondered over this. They have seen how cunning these two sword spirits are. They can also pit the participants in their own way. Really worthy to be the sword spirits that learned from Cheng Sheng! Even Cheng Sheng's own disciples Fei Yinzi and Ling Yun, can't compare with xiao Bao nor even just xiao Ling! Not only in strength but also in intelligence!

With this thought, they suddenly realized how lacking the disciples compared with these two sword spirits!

"Our training to them is not enough!" Jing Rui frowned, feeling dissatisfied with their disciples lacking when compared to others, especially with just two sword spirits!

Sun Yu nodded in agreement. Obviously, he also thinks that the training their sect is giving to their disciples isn't enough. Qian Shan and Qian Tian, as well as Tang Teng, Li Nanzi and Su Wan, were thinking of increasing the intensity of training of their disciples! When the disciples return, they would definitely cry due to grievance! Not only did the competition was hellish for them, they also have to face another hellish situation!

The only disciples who won't cry are the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples, as well as Ling Yun, He Shun and Wu Tie. After all, Ling Yun, He Shun and Wu Tie are families first with their respective leaders before they are a disciple to them. Meanwhile, the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples have performed beyond everyone's expectations, and that their sect leaders and elders are bias towards them, thus there was no need to increase their training.

This made the other sect leaders' teeth itch, wanting to bite them to death! But, who can they blame? It was their own disciples who are really lacking compared to the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples ah! Ai, this makes them want to sigh again.

"Hey, hey! Look at xiao Bao and xiao Ling! What are they doing?!" Tang Teng said with his voice raising in surprise and anxiety.

Everyone turned and saw xiao Bao and xiao Ling are jumping above the trees. This is supposed to be the usual, if not them passing by the participants who are on the ground! And they passed by all the participants!

"Are they finally going to make a move?!" Tang Yun exclaimed.

"But… they look like they are just passing by them?" Qian Lin muttered with his brows knitted.

The others are also puzzled by xiao Bao and xiao Ling's behaviors. What are they doing? Do they finally want to attack? If not, then what is it?

"Xiao Sheng?" Fan Wen called and looked at Cheng Sheng.

"They look to be scouting the participants?" Cheng Sheng said and tilted his head as he observed the two sword spirits.

"'scouting'?" the others said and also watched xiao Bao and xiao Ling.

"Isn't this… the same as what the Xinfaxian Sect disciples are doing?" Kang Ce said.

The others started. That's right! Aren't the Xinfaxian Sect disciples scouting the other participants, too, to avoid clashing with them as to not waste time and resources? They thought.

"Then… what are xiao Bao and xiao Ling scouting the participants for?" Guo Cheng asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Bao and xiao Ling are definitely not afraid of fighting the participants." Ling Xi said.

Su Wan nodded in agreement. "So, what are they avoiding them for?" he asked.

"Could it be…" He Run muttered. "What they avoiding aren't the participants but… the Distance Perceiving Formation on the participants?" he asked.

Everyone instantly started.

"That's right! The Distance Perceiving Formation can see the movements of the people inside it." Wu Tong said. "So… this also applies to the sword spirits?" he said, surprised.

Cheng Sheng's lips curled up. "I didn't expect for Cui Xiao to remind me of this. This formation can be used against the spirit servants, including the enemies, trying to disrupt the peace in Zhongyang." He said.

They all looked at him. "That's right… if we can trap them in this formation, then we are able to see their actions!" they said as their eyes brightened, filled with hope.

Cheng Sheng nodded in affirmation.

"Since this is so, then the Xinfaxian Sect disciples actually prevented xiao Bao and xiao Ling to attack the other participants?" Xi Ming said.

"Ah." They all muttered when they realized it.

Sun Yu's expression changed and he looked at the Xinfaxian Sect disciples with a complicated gaze.

"But, wouldn't this make them, who are outside the formation, able to be attacked by xiao Bao and xiao Ling?" Jing Kang asked.

Hearing this, the expression of the Xinfaxian Sect elders changed. They immediately looked at Cheng Sheng, who just raised his hands as if surrendering. He blinked his eyes. His expression looked innocent. They all helplessly sighed, feeling anxious as they returned their gazes on their disciples. After all, Cheng Sheng didn't do anything, so why should they blame him?

Cheng Sheng lowered his hands while Fei Yin chuckled. "The disciples are full of tricks… ehem, ideas." Fei Yin spoke.

They all looked at him. "…" don't pretend! You really just said 'tricks', right?! Don't deny it! They thought as they stared at him.

Fei Yin's expression remained calm. He simply ignored their gazes. "They have prepared this much, so how can they not include xiao Bao and xiao Ling in their calculations… ehem, tactics?" he asked.

Everyone. "…" you said it! You said 'calculations'! They knew it! These Xinfaxian Sect disciples are really cunning! They thought and frowned.

On the other hand, the Xinfaxian Sect elders sighed in relief and think that what Fei Yin made sense. Meanwhile, Xie Lan laughed and smiled proudly as he watched their disciples. Fei Yin is right. They have prepared so much for this year's competition, which is the second time that their sect is joining. So, what should they fear? They have done their best, and will become better, showing everyone more and more after they unlock their potential.

As expected, just as Fei Yin said, they saw that xiao Bao and xiao Ling also detoured when they saw the Xinfaxian Sect disciples, Ling Yun, He Shun and Qi Lan.

"Hey… this…" Tang Zhe muttered as he looked at xiao Bao and xiao Ling with a complicated gaze. "This… xiao Bao and xiao Ling looked… so defeated?" he said.

"Pft!" the others can't help but laugh when they heard what Tang Zhe said. What Tang Zhe said is right.

Xiao Bao and xiao Ling right now looked like they were defeated. After all, they have been very powerful against the demons after they have saved the participants, especially when they fought against the participants. The participants looked like children compared to them who are like adults every time xiao Bao and xiao Ling fight against the participants to steal their points.

But, right now, the Xinfaxian Sect disciples have thought of a way to protect themselves from xiao Bao and xiao Ling, these two pranksters!

"Oh, my god! This looks satisfying!" Lei Ling said and held his stomach as he bend over to laugh.

"Pft! Hahahahaha!" the others also laughed with him.

After all, their disciples have been bullied by xiao Bao and xiao Ling many times. So, why shouldn't they be happy seeing that xiao Bao and xiao Ling looking so defeated right now? Naturally, they are very happy since they can now see that the ones who have bullied their disciples are being defeated, albeit it was the Xinfaxian Sect disciples who beat these bullies!

"Uh… I just thought of something now…" Shan Lu suddenly spoke amidst their laughter.

Everyone froze, then slowly turned to him. Suddenly, alarm bells rang in their minds as they looked at Shan Lu, who has always been unlucky in their eyes!

"Err…" Shan Lu scratched his head and smiled in embarrassment when he saw their gazes at him which… doesn't look friendly. But, what can he do? This thought just suddenly came to his mind and it is extremely important!

"What is it?" Wu Yuan kindly asked.

Everyone's lips twitched.

"Uh… about the Distance Perceiving Formation…" Shan Lu said. "Although it protects the other participants from xiao Bao and xiao Ling this way, wasn't it out of guilt?" he asked.

"… ah." They muttered when they understood what Shan Lu meant.. Then, their gazes fell on Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng who are now smiling.
