Chapter 38: The Down-and-Out Scholar

That night, there was lightning, thunder, and violent storms.

In a dilapidated mountain temple, bonfires flickered, reflecting three figures: Chun Yuxiong, Nie Sheng and Xiao Mian.

At this time, Chun Yuxiong was meditating to recover from the physical injury suffered by the scholar. Nie Sheng stared at Xiao Mian maliciously, while Xiao Mian stared at the bonfire.

"Actually, it stands to reason that we have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges recently. It was me who attacked you first in Huoyunling that day, so it was not a big deal. You know why I asked Master to capture you at all costs. You? It’s your fate that’s to blame! Your senior brother’s surname is Lu, and he’s from the Lu family that’s in charge of the Five Elements Sect; your senior sister is a disciple of Fairy Biluo; you’re the only one who’s nothing! If I don't take it out on you, how can I be worthy of myself?" Seeing Xiao Mian just staring at the bonfire and turning a deaf ear to his words, Nie Sheng walked over and kicked Xiao Mian to the ground and cursed angrily: "You are the one. A powerless little bastard!"

"I'm not a bastard!" Although his face was stepped on the ground by Nie Sheng, Xiao Mian's voice was extremely clear: "I'm not a bastard! You - are - are!"

"What a sharp mouth! You don't know that you are about to die? Humph!" Nie Sheng looked ferocious, and the true energy in his body was surging, and he wanted to deal with Xiao Mian. Suddenly he saw Xiao Mian burying his head on the ground, not saying anything, and his thoughts suddenly changed and he couldn't help but said vigilantly: "I almost fell into your trap..."

Xiao Mian trembled when he heard this, and slowly sat up straight, looking directly at Nie Sheng.

Just now, Xiao Mian really had the idea of ​​deliberately irritating Nie Sheng and seeking death.

Although he knew that the Demon Shadow Sect was one of the three major sects in Nanyue Prefecture, Xiao Mian knew nothing about the specific situation of the Demon Shadow Sect. But judging from the name alone, the Demonic Shadow Sect is obviously not the right path. Thinking that his soul had been extracted to refine his soul and he would not be able to be reincarnated; after his death, his body would be used to refine it for others to use, Xiao Mian felt that it would be better to die now.

It's a pity that although Nie Sheng is angry, he is not stupid. He saw through Xiao Mian's thoughts and stopped beating him.

This is a blessing in disguise, right? Xiao Mian smiled helplessly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the dilapidated mountain temple.

Even with the bad relationship between Xiao Mian and Nie Sheng, the two of them looked at each other in shock at the knock on the door - this is too strange!

In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, someone knocked on the door?

Before the two of them could react, after a slight creaking sound, a figure squeezed into the temple. I saw that the man's green shirt was soaked by the rain, tightly wrapped around his thin body, and the square scarf on his head was also soaked by the rain, sticking to the man's head like a weak lotus leaf. After entering, I saw someone in the temple. The person seemed startled.

Nie Sheng and Xiao Mian both stared at the scholar who broke into the mountain temple in the rain. The former was full of suspicion. After careful inspection, he found that the scholar was just a mortal. After being suspicious, he was relieved; the latter looked excited and felt in his heart. There was a sense of survival after a disaster.

This scholar is none other than the one who once appeared in Lingchuanfang City - the ancestor of Yuanying!

"Who are you?"

"A young student is just a down-and-out scholar!"

"Poor scholar? A poor scholar who came to the wilderness to take shelter from the rain in the middle of the night?" With a sneer, Nie Sheng stepped in front of the scholar, picked up the scholar's right hand, pressed it on his veins, and tried to exert his strength. However, Nie Sheng couldn't feel anything unusual as he pressed the scholar's veins tightly. There was nothing in the scholar's body, not to mention the real energy, and he didn't even have the slightest amount of real energy. He was just a mortal! However, looking at the scholar's calm and calm eyes from beginning to end, Nie Sheng couldn't help but feel guilty. He gritted his lower teeth and felt cruel, then rushed his true energy straight into the scholar's body, and at the same time said with a sinister smile: " I don’t care who you are! It’s just that there is a way to heaven but you don’t take it, and there is no way to hell but you break in!”

Xiao Mian looked at this scene and almost didn't clap his hands!

Nie Sheng, Nie Sheng, there really is a road to heaven, don’t you take it!

It’s not good to offend anyone, but offend this master. This is the Nascent Soul Ancestor that even your master doesn’t dare to neglect!

Just thinking about it, Xiao Mian suddenly thought of Chunyu Xiong.

There was such a big noise, but Chun Yuxiong, a powerful Jindan expert, didn't react at all? Turning around, Chun Yuxiong was still sitting in the corner meditating, seemingly not noticing that there was an extra person in the small mountain temple - an ancestor of Nascent Soul!

At this time, Nie Sheng also felt strange. The zhenqi he sent into the scholar's body was equivalent to 30% of his own cultivation. Why did the scholar in front of him still look completely unaware? After realizing that something was wrong, Nie Sheng quickly wanted to cut off the circulation of his own Qi, but soon he found that the Qi in his body was turning faster and faster, pouring into the scholar's body in a rapid flow, as if there was something inside the scholar's body. A huge bottomless whirlpool was constantly attracting Nie Sheng's energy.

This... who is this damn scholar! ?

wrong! The scholar suddenly appeared, why didn't the master notice it?

Scholar? Scholar!

According to rumors, wasn't there a scholar who appeared at the auction in Lingchuanfang City?

Wasn't it because his master was injured by the scholar of the Yuan Ying Ancestor and had no chance to fight for the Fire Cloud Ridge, so he had to rush back to the Demonic Shadow Sect as soon as possible?

Could it be that the scholar in front of me is that scholar?

It's no wonder that Nie Sheng didn't know the scholar, because after he was frozen by Biluoxian with the divine light of ice soul in Lingchuanfang City that day, although Chun Yuxiong and Xiang Luming worked together to rescue him, the cold poison entered his body. At that time, Nie Sheng was sent back to his residence by Chun Yuxiong to meditate to get rid of the cold poison, but he did not participate in the auction.

If he had known that the scholar in front of him was the same one that day, even if Nie Sheng had the courage, he would not have dared to be so reckless and actually tried to kill the Yuanying cultivator.

Things in the world are unpredictable, there is no if!

Nie Sheng, who had reacted, had less than 30% of his internal energy, and it was still decreasing. Suppressing the fear in his heart, Nie Sheng shouted.

Ah——!

The scholar could have made Nie Sheng unable to make any sound, but he did not do so, and even slowed down the absorption of Nie Sheng's true energy. As Nie Sheng shouted, Chun Yuxiong, who had never known what was going on, suddenly opened his eyes. After he saw the situation in the small temple clearly, no matter how cunning he was, he was shocked for a while.

But with the Yuanying ancestor in front of him, Chun Yuxiong still knew what to do.

"Senior! Please show some mercy! I don't know how I have offended you. If he is wrong, I will teach him a lesson myself!"

Chun Yuxiong's words startled Xiao Mian and the scholar. They didn't expect that Chun Yuxiong, who looked like a big and strong man, was so smart. His words were so beautiful!

It has two meanings: first, if Nie Sheng did something wrong, Chun Yuxiong, as the master, should teach his disciple, and the scholar should not interfere; second, if Nie Sheng did nothing wrong, the scholar would be bullying.

The scholar carefully looked at Chun Yuxiong for a long time, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that in your eyes, I have become a bad guy?"

"I dare not! It's just..."

"Chun Yuxiong, right? Don't think that I don't know your details!" Interrupting Chun Yuxiong's defense, the scholar said slowly: "If I remember correctly, you should have a nickname, what is it? The shame of the casual cultivator?"

The shame of the casual cultivator?

Xiao Mian was stunned, but Chun Yuxiong's face changed drastically.
