Chapter 143: Guardian Silk Armor
Chapter 143: Guardian Silk Armor
Perhaps it was the words of Taiwu Zhenren that gave Sun Xuerong more confidence.
The Sect Leader did not believe in those rumors about Su Chen, so Sun Xuerong naturally had more reason to persist.
Furthermore, Tiangang City indeed had reasons and motives to fabricate the situation.
Take the current situation, for example; many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been spreading these rumors.
Disciples who were not valued in Yunyang Sect have already been promoted to direct disciples in Tiangang City.
Moreover, not many ordinary citizens have heard these messages yet.
On the contrary, many young people preparing to enter the sect for cultivation are already aware of them.
It was also because of these that Sun Xuerong and Taiwu Zhenren both doubted.
This disciple, Su Chen, is a genius disciple deliberately promoted by Tiangang City.
With the relative stability of the Tiangang City frontline, they could further hype their own sect.
Previously, within the Great Zhou Dynasty, many disciples aimed to enter the Yunyang Sect.
However, after Su Chen's related news spread, Tiangang City's reputation gradually rose.
Additionally, with the issues on the Yunyang Sect's frontline, numerous demons infiltrated from there.
The claim that there were no demons within a hundred li of Yunyang became a joke.
Sun Xuerong firmly believed that she had not misjudged the person.
Aside from reconnaissance abilities, the rumors about Su Chen also mentioned that he possessed remarkable talent in cultivation.
With these messages combined, Sun Xuerong felt even more convinced that her and Taiwu Zhenren's judgment was correct.
By her side, the Second Elder heard Sun Xuerong's words but merely chuckled lightly without responding.
Although others were unclear about how the Tiangang City frontline had transformed, this Elder was well-informed.
He had witnessed the stability of the frontline with his own eyes.
Those demonic beasts would not cooperate in such a charade.
Su Chen had barely been in Tiangang City for a year.
There were numerous disciples and hall masters on the frontline.
Su Chen did not have the ability or the skill to win over all the disciples.
He was faking it on the frontline and stealing credit.
Would the other disciples and hall masters speak highly of him?
What kind of charm did Su Chen possess that allowed him to steal credit on one hand and still have others praise him? Look at Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan, the two elite disciples.
When they were not present during the difficult times on the frontline, they were secretly cursed by other disciples.
Su Chen could not have accomplished anything to earn those praises.
Faced with Sun Xuerong's doubts, the Second Elder did not offer much explanation.
Many times, the truth of a matter cannot be made clear through words alone.
Sun Xuerong was unwilling to believe, and no matter what was said to her, she would not believe it.
After seeing Sun Xuerong off, the Tiangang City side further discussed the matter of sending reinforcements.
Other sects were still unaware of the truth about the Yunyang Sect's frontline.
They only assumed that the Yunyang Sect's frontline was facing a crisis due to the ferocity of the demons.
However, the Tiangang City elders were well aware of the situation.
Supporting the Yunyang Sect's frontline was not just about suppressing the demons there.
They needed to halt this beast tide!
These demons must be made to suffer.
Every time, they faced great troubles and difficulties.
Yunyang Sect's reconnaissance capabilities were extremely poor, and if Tiangang City wanted to provide sufficient assistance, helping with reconnaissance was the solution.
Similar to other sects, they also brought along disciples skilled in reconnaissance from their own sect.
What troubled the elders now was the arrangement for Su Chen.
Regarding Su Chen's ability to observe demons, the Tiangang City elders had no doubts whatsoever.
After the Second Elder repeated Sun Xuerong's words in front of everyone, several elders could not help but scoff.
However, upon further thought, if not for Sun Xuerong's perspective, how would Su Chen have ended up in Tiangang City?
Concerns and Preparations
Yunyang Sect's disdain was palpable, but aid to Tianxia City was a must.
Upon hearing this, even the Upper Ascetic True Person considered advising Su Chen against providing support.
For a simple reconnaissance of the monster's trail, Su Chen's abilities in Tianxia City were among the best.
If Su Chen didn't go, Tianxia City's aid would merely add a few more defensive disciples.
However, the thought of sending Su Chen made them somewhat uneasy.
Yunyang Sect had suffered a great calamity, with numerous disciples killed or injured.
What if Su Chen encountered danger?
"Judging from Sun Xuerong's words today, Yunyang Sect likely still harbors many biases against Su Chen."
The Second Elder's statement was clear to everyone.
Facing monsters, danger lurked at every moment.
Yunyang Sect's biases against Su Chen might lead to mistreatment.
Those who could help might choose to turn a blind eye.
Some might even harbor malicious intentions, intentionally sabotaging him.
In the Side Hall
Several Elders summoned Su Chen to discuss potential disasters.
Human calamities were more feared than natural ones.
Although Su Chen repeatedly assured his safety, the Elders remained concerned.
In reality, upon arriving at Yunyang Sect's front line, even if someone tried to deceive Su Chen,
with the Monster Tracker Heavenly Fate, he'd be aware of any nearby monster dangers.
Conversely, if Su Chen harbored malicious intentions, others might be in trouble.
During the discussion, the Elders conceived a plan to somewhat ensure Su Chen's safety.
After the discussion, the Upper Ascetic True Person produced a Silver Silk Treasure Armor.
"Su Chen, as we previously stated, from now on, in Tianxia City, you'll receive treatment as a core disciple.
This Silver Silk Treasure Armor is our sect's most successful inner armor crafted over the past decade.
Its quality is just shy of absolute perfection, making it the finest among high-grade treasure armors."
The surrounding Elders were taken aback when the Upper Ascetic True Person presented the armor.
They had indeed promised core disciple treatment, considering Su Chen's contributions.
However, they were still surprised by the gift of such a valuable armor.
Even the inner armor currently used by Gu Feng didn't surpass this one in quality.
With this armor, even a hit from a powerful monster might only claim half a life.
Su Chen accepted the armor, bowing in gratitude to the Great Elder.
Departure Preparations
After two days of rest, Su Chen prepared to head to the front line.
Though familiar with the terrain, this time he wouldn't be representing Yunyang Sect.
The Great Elder had prepared special signal fireworks for him.
In case of danger, he could ignite them, and Li Yutang, the Master of Tianxia City, who accompanied him, would notice the signal.
The Upper Ascetic True Person had specifically instructed Li, emphasizing Su Chen's safety as the top priority.
This time, Su Chen wouldn't be going to Yunyang Sect's front line with Tianxia City's disciples.
The Upper Ascetic True Person had personally visited Feiyue Sect, having a private talk with their Sect Master.
Su Chen would head to Yunyang Sect's front line disguised as a Feiyue Sect disciple.
A slight disguise would conceal his true identity from Yunyang Sect.
Firstly, Su Chen had past grievances with Yunyang Sect, preventing potential sabotage.
Secondly, Su Chen's reconnaissance skills would yield valuable information.
However, going under his true identity might invite doubts and opposition from Yunyang Sect, causing unnecessary trouble.
