The Scum is A ***

12: The Scum Is Attacked

"Fan-shidi said that Xie-shidi foreseen the Xinfaxian in danger." Wu Fan said. "The Xinfaxian is a small land. If Xie-shidi wouldn't have been there and left..." he said and sighed.

There was a silence. The Xinfaxian sect disciples' expression is gloomy, but also relieved. They had never been glad than now that Fan Wen and Xie Lan stayed in Xinfaxian instead of coming to Xiwang. Or, maybe Xie Lan had already seen this happening before they could have left the Xinfaxian.

"My parents – " Feng Mo said, then pursed his lips. He only goes home twice a year to his family even if his family is located in Xinfaxian.

Wu Fan shook his head. "I don't know." He said. "Fan-shidi never mentioned their situation." He sighed. Even he is worried. The Xinfaxian was suddenly attacked by strange corpses. That's all they knew. However, Xie Lan is in Immortal Stage and Fan Wen is in Nascent Soul Stage. Their disciples, even though small, were all in Foundation Establishment Stage. They can handle a walking corpse or two.

But, they are strange corpses. The strange corpses are more powerful than the walking corpses. Xie Lan and Fan Wen could handle them. However, they sent a letter... Wu Fan looked at Luo Shi and Ming Ye. Then, his eyes fell on Chen Jing. Chen Jing noticed his stare and he looked at him. His face went serious.

Wu Fan turned to the Xinfaxian sect disciples. "For now, you should rest as we'll make some arrangements." He told them. "We'll send you back to the Xinfaxian tomorrow." He said.

The Xinfaxian sect disciples nodded, then bowed. "Many thanks, sect leader Wu." They said.

Wu Fan's expression eased. His eyes became gentle. He hummed in response. Then, he turned to Wu Yuan, Chen Han and Sun Yi to take the Xinfaxian sect disciples and leave as they, the elders, discuss.

"Yuan." Sun Yi called Wu Yuan while they follow behind Chen Han and the Xinfaxian sect disciples. "What did sect leader Wu tell you?" he directly asked.

Wu Yuan's feet stopped. He looked at Sun Yi. "The letter is authentic." Wu Yuan answered.

Sun Yi's expression changed. "Then, why – " he said and lowered his head. He felt there's something off with the elders earlier.

Wu Yuan stared at Sun Yi. "Father, shifu and shishu think that the attack in Xinfaxian was orchestrated." He said.

Sun Yi's eyes went wide. "What – " he said.

Wu Yuan nodded. "Sect leader Xie and elder Fan didn't elaborate their situation." He said. "Father thinks that sect leader Xie and elder Fan are in danger." He told him.

Sun Yi's face became pale. He turned to Chen Han who's talking with the Xinfaxian sect disciples, easing their worries. He and Wu Yuan had only met the Xinfaxian sect disciples, but they envy their closeness. The Youxiwang Sect is the second more prominent sect in the continent. They, the disciples of the sect, needed to be role models. However, Chen Han is Cheng Sheng's brother. Sun Yi envies Chen Han's closeness to the Xinfaxian sect disciples. Even if the Xinfaxian Sect is a small sect, but their bond is envious.

However, Sun Yi didn't take this envy to his heart. He looked at Wu Yuan. "What do you think will the elders do?" he asked. "The Xinfaxian sect disciples will return tomorrow. They will be in danger more." He said, worried.

"But, the Xinfaxian sect disciples will worry more if they won't return." Wu Yuan said. "Even if they will be in danger, but, I think, the Xinfaxian sect disciples would rather choose to die than leave their sect behind." He said.

Sun Yi fell silent. If he'd be in the same situation as them, he'd also choose the same decision.

"We were attacked. Now, it's the Xinfaxian." Wu Fan said, his expression is ugly. He waved his sleeves. "I don't know what's the situation in Shanliang, Zhunjing and Nanxu." He said, referring to the three other prominent sects.
