Chapter 123: Reinforcements from Other Sects
Chapter 123: Reinforcements from Other Sects
The Yunyang Sect's frontline received the first wave of reinforcements.
Three sects arrived, each bringing nearly twenty sect disciples.
The Ten Thousand Mile Sect, Sky Veil Association, and Blue Peak Mountain had come to aid.
In terms of strength, these three sects were far less formidable than the Yunyang Sect and Tiangang City.
When they first learned that the Yunyang Sect sought their assistance, these sects were initially surprised.
But soon after, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
These three sects had previously asked for the Yunyang Sect's help.
They vividly remembered the disdain in the words and eyes of the Yunyang Sect's Hall Master when he visited their frontline.
The Yunyang Sect's predicament and the frontline's retreat were no longer secrets. The upper echelons of various sects had received this news months ago.
However, no one anticipated that the Yunyang Sect would seek their help.
This outcome genuinely caught them off guard.
They had come to mock, but now they were asking for assistance.
Were they not afraid that their initial mockery would be thrown back at them? But with a moment's thought, these sects realized the situation.
As the top sect in Great Zhou, the Yunyang Sect had its own pride.
Before requesting aid from other sects, they must have considered the potential consequences.
They knew their face would be tarnished and might even face ridicule and taunts.
Yet, the Yunyang Sect still asked for help.
Understanding this, the various sects were well aware of the situation.
The Yunyang Sect's request was undoubtedly a desperate move, leaving them no choice but to seek assistance from other sects.
Just like the Tiangang City last year.
Precisely because of this realization, these sects did not hesitate.
They immediately dispatched their elite disciples, especially those skilled in reconnaissance.
Everyone knew that the Yunyang Sect's most significant issue was the lack of skilled scouts.
With no knowledge of the demons' movements, they had to expend considerable manpower to maintain their outposts.
Even when they were confined to the frontline defense, they often faced surprise attacks.
At this moment, the Thousand Commander of the Ten Thousand Mile Sect, leading his disciples, approached those he knew to greet them.
The Thousand Commander, essentially the Hall Master of another sect, had a slightly different title.
His name was Yang Chenghu, and although he was a guest, his beaming smile made him seem more like the host.
"Brother He, it's been almost a year since we last met, and you seem to have lost some weight."
Previously, it was Hall Master He Chao who led the Ten Thousand Mile Sect's support.
Yang Chenghu's face was filled with laughter, a radiant smile.
In contrast, He Chao's smile appeared forced, and it was evident that he felt uncomfortable.
He recalled how he had belittled the Ten Thousand Mile Sect and criticized Yang Chenghu when they were there.
He still remembered those circumstances, but he never imagined that the tables would turn so quickly.
The Yunyang Sect needed help from other sects.
"The dangers and challenges on this frontline are far more severe than those on the Ten Thousand Mile Sect's frontline. It's likely several times more difficult.
Brother He Chao, you seem to have lost weight. Take care of your health and get some rest."
Yang Chenghu spoke with concern, but there was also a hint of mockery in his words.
Yunyang Sect disciples kept their distance, not wanting to be mocked.
Although the Yunyang Sect anticipated that seeking help might invite ridicule, experiencing it firsthand still left them feeling stifled.
They had been the ones giving instructions to others, but now they faced their own problems.
That feeling of being humiliated was genuinely uncomfortable.
Before receiving guests from various sects, these sects had already been reminded.
Others are here to help, and even if their words carry a hint of sarcasm, they must endure it.
Furthermore, the root cause of their ridicule lies within themselves.
If they hadn't been so boastful during their initial assistance, how could they have ended up in this situation?
After some light-hearted banter, the three sects that came to reinforce did not utter any further disparaging remarks.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there existed a certain level of competition among the major sects.
However, overall, they remained united.
When a sect encountered significant trouble and sought aid from others, the others would almost always lend a helping hand.
Since these three sects had chosen to come, they certainly weren't here to cause trouble.
After a brief rest, the three sects were led by He Chao and others to inspect the frontline situation.
Upon inspection, they realized the dire state of the entire frontline defense.
Demonic bloodstains were visible everywhere along the frontline.
Even during the inspection, they encountered demonic attacks.
It was still daytime, yet the demons were brazenly bold.
Moreover, the ferocity of these demons far exceeded their expectations.
It was only after witnessing this scene that they truly understood why the Yunyang Sect had requested reinforcements.
The level of danger on the frontline seemed to surpass that of their sect's frontline by more than just a single level.
Leading the group, He Chao continued to guide everyone along the frontline after slaying a demon.
As a major sect, Yunyang Sect had a lengthy defense line to protect, even with the advantage of terrain, it still required a significant amount of manpower and resources.
It took more than a single hour for He Chao to guide the group through the entire frontline.
Along the way, they had already encountered demonic attacks three times.
He Chao provided a general overview of the situation but concealed information about the beast tide.
Currently, only the elders and some hall masters of the Yunyang Sect were aware of this news.
If this information were to spread, perhaps the morale of many disciples would immediately collapse.
After introducing the frontline situation, He Chao also distributed gifts to everyone.
These were standard procedures; when the Yunyang Sect sent people to assist, other sects would also prepare gifts.
After He Chao's departure, people from the Ten Thousand Mile Sect, Sky Veil Association, and Blue Peak Mountain gathered to discuss their observations.
As experienced individuals, they could easily discern the underlying issues.
"The demons on this frontline are several times more ferocious than those in other areas.
Usually, when ordinary demons see so many martial artists, they would hide and avoid us.
But today, everyone witnessed how incredibly vicious these demons were, showing no fear at all."
Yang Chenghu furrowed his brows, describing what he had observed.
Those around him also spoke up, expressing their thoughts.
Everyone sensed the unusual atmosphere along this frontline and could clearly feel the danger, which seemed to surpass that of other defense lines.
But since they had come, they were not prepared to back down.
Having been ridiculed by the hall masters and disciples of the Yunyang Sect before, they were now here to prove themselves.
The three sects chose to unite and began selecting a group of elites to scout the area surrounding the frontline.
Many were already aware of the news that the Yunyang Sect's reconnaissance capabilities had collapsed.
Now, they also wanted to test the situation.
Was the issue with this frontline, or was it a problem with the abilities of the Yunyang Sect's disciples?
Seventeen people were assigned to the reconnaissance mission, divided into two teams.
The rest began to guard the frontline.
