The Scum Is Present 

"That time, we guessed that Wu Tie and Jin Yu were besieged by the demons." Ling Yun started. "Our guess was confirmed when we saw that flare signal." He looked at them. "And, that flare signal was very weak." He said. 

The others realized it. They were all on the ground. Usually, they would be able to see the flare signals since the flare signals would reach high, enough for everyone to see. But, most of them were surrounded by trees, and since the flare signal was very weak, it must have reached only a low height. Thus, no one would be able to see it. 

"We immediately flew to their location to help them, especially since there are just two of them." Ling Yun continued. "If they can handle the demons, they wouldn't light that flare signal." He said. 

They all nodded in agreement. Indeed, that is the case. So, to light the flare signal, it must be a despairing situation. 

"But, on our way, we were intercepted by the demons." Ling Yun said.
