Chapter 140: Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan's Reputation Takes a Hit
When the tide recedes, the naked truth is revealed.
In the past, the Yunyang Sect's frontline didn't require additional support, so Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan would take the opportunity to stroll along the frontlines.
They would eliminate any ambushing demons, gaining contribution points and preserving their status as elite disciples.
However, now that the Yunyang Sect's frontline issues have been exposed, things are no longer the same.
Everyone can see the reality of the situation; they're not fools.
Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan continue to dedicate themselves to their cultivation, with resources readily available.
But they pay no heed to the affairs of the frontline, ignoring all responsibilities.
This attitude naturally influences other disciples on the frontline, causing them to retreat as well.
If the disciples who consume the most sect resources act this way, why should the others bother?
Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan are indeed elite disciples with limitless potential, and their strength will be needed in the future when facing powerful demons.
But before they become truly powerful, will they make no contributions at all?
Many disciples on the frontline no longer care about the future; they focus on the present.
Demons are ruthless, and one might suddenly emerge from hiding at any moment, taking lives.
They can't wait for Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan's future potential; they need help now.
What they see is that these two elite disciples are not contributing.
While the higher-ups, like Taiwu Zhenren, may favor Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan, the other disciples of the Yunyang Sect do not share this sentiment.
As Taiwu Zhenren predicted, various criticisms of the two have already begun to spread.
After Taiwu Zhenren left the tent, the elders and hall masters present also refrained from discussing other matters.
They quietly departed, keeping a low profile.
Sun Xuerong also felt a headache coming on. She believed that her two disciples should be out in the world, gaining experience and honing their skills.
As genius disciples, they naturally needed more time to cultivate.
Most likely, the other disciples were unaware of their departure.
But seeing Taiwu Zhenren's anger, Sun Xuerong decided to arrange for someone to look into the matter.
Unfortunately, Sun Xuerong's assumptions were completely wrong.
On the very first day of their disappearance, many on the frontline were already talking about it.
The prolonged absence only confirmed their suspicions that the two elite disciples had left the frontline.
Compared to the peaceful times, Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan's reputation has taken a significant hit.
In this regard, they pale in comparison to Gu Feng from Tiangang City.
Last year, Tiangang City was already overwhelmed by demons, and Gu Feng, as a core disciple, was always at the forefront of the defense line.
While the disciples of Tiangang City may not know the extent of his contributions, they witnessed his dedication and his presence alongside them in the fight against the demons.
This naturally earned him a higher level of respect from his fellow disciples.
In the coming days, the elders and hall masters of the Yunyang Sect will all remain at the frontline defense.
With morale at an all-time low, their presence is needed to stabilize the situation and prevent the entire defense line from collapsing.
These signs align with Lady Zhao Li's predictions.
A beast tide is forming, and the frontline defense can't afford any negligence.
On Sun Xuerong's side, she travels to other sects to seek additional aid.
Among them, Tiangang City is specifically mentioned by Taiwu Zhenren as a place to request assistance.
There's no way to avoid it.
Tiangang City.
The training at Mountain River Pool has already concluded several days ago.
This time, after the training at Mountain River Pool, the group from Heavenly Wind Valley did not linger.
In the past, they would visit the frontline of Tiangang City and offer guidance.
This year, they seem to have less to say and show more respect for the people of Tiangang City.
Long Yunyun still carries a hint of pride.
However, the disciples of Tiangang City find her arrogance laughable.
After losing to Su Chen in a duel, what is there to be proud of?
Even her grandfather, Mu Hall Master, no longer wants to associate with her.
Deep down, Long Yunyun still holds onto a shred of hope.
Although she had lost her qualification to train in Mountain River Pool, she was hoping that Hall Master Mu would help her get it back.
Unfortunately, Hall Master Mu had been completely heartbroken by her.
In his heart, he was even more eager to visit Heavenly Wind Valley to see his daughter.
Even his granddaughter looked down on Heaven's Pole City, and he wondered how much discrimination his daughter had endured in Heavenly Wind Valley.
At this moment in the courtyard, Su Chen was stabilizing his own strength.
The training in Mountain River Pool was even more intense than the fourth layer of Dusty Karma Mountain.
However, it also provided a more nourishing effect.
It was no wonder that Heaven's Pole City only selected direct disciples to participate in the training in Mountain River Pool.
Ordinary disciples entering Mountain River Pool might be overwhelmed by the pool's tempering effects.
After a night of tempering and nourishment in the pool, Su Chen's strength advanced from the seventh stage of Embraced Valley Initial Realm to the middle realm.
At this moment in his own courtyard, Su Chen was stabilizing his strength in the sixth stage middle realm.
With each advancement in strength, Su Chen could feel a significant boost in his overall strength.
His eyesight and hearing improved in leaps and bounds.
His control over life energy became even more apparent.
The process from the initial to the perfect realm was also a process of gradually mastering one's acquired strength.
Additionally, Su Chen also felt the growth of his own physique.
After reaching the seventh stage, the focus of cultivation and training was no longer on tempering the physique.
However, the advancement in realm still greatly benefited his physique.
No wonder those powerful cultivators had such robust physiques.
Previously, when Su Chen extended his hand in the northeastern wilderness, he witnessed the formidable physique of a Transcendent Realm powerhouse at Autumn Frost's side.
Ordinary people would fall unconscious in an instant if they were stung by the venomous spikes of the earth demons.
Their lives would likely be in peril.
Yet, Autumn Frost had so many venomous needles on her, and she managed to endure for more than a day.
She even fought against demons and killed an earth demon.
After removing the venomous needles from her body, she immediately recovered.
The physique of a powerful warrior was truly worlds apart from that of an ordinary warrior.
As he reminisced, a vague image of that day flashed through Su Chen's mind.
When he was removing the venomous needles from Autumn Frost, he had examined most of her body.
At that moment, the phrase "a beauty like jade" took on a truly vivid meaning for Su Chen.
Her skin was so...
Crystal clear and beautiful.
At that time, he had probably been too upright.
In his heart, he wanted to take a few more glances, but he didn't act on it.
After a while, Su Chen snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head hurriedly.
He shook off the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
For now, his focus should be on cultivation and training.
In the past few days after the Mountain River Pool training, Heaven's Pole City had not disturbed the disciples, giving them ample time to stabilize their cultivation.
Today was the seventh day after the Mountain River Pool training, and the sect had finally gathered all the disciples together.
Elder Three personally came today to address their doubts.
If they had any questions, they could ask Elder Three directly.
Of course, Elder Three also wanted to record some information related to the Mountain River Pool training.
After summarizing and studying the information, Heaven's Pole City would have a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of Mountain River Pool.
The location was chosen in a courtyard on the north side, and since Elder Three had not yet arrived, the disciples naturally went there first to show their respect.
During this period, Jin Yue and Ran Ting became much more familiar with Su Chen.
During these gatherings, the two women would always sit around Su Chen.
Of course, both of them and Su Chen were now under Mr. Ouyang's command.
Logically, being under the same master, they should indeed be closer.
But Jin Yue was well aware of her own thoughts.
