Chapter 154: Meeting with Taiwu Zhenren
Chapter 154: Meeting with Taiwu Zhenren
At the frontline, after Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan arrived, they also requested a separate tent.
In conversations with others, Fu Jianyun responded, feigning nonchalance.
His departure was to seek guidance from a powerful expert in reconnaissance techniques.
This way, he could better assist the sect.
As for Liu Xingwan, she couldn't bring herself to tell such a lie.
For the two of them, there were still many challenges.
The two Celestial Talent disciples had performed poorly during this crisis, falling far short of expectations.
With so many resources at their disposal, the sect leaders had spared no effort in cultivating them.
It could be said that they had taken all the good things for themselves, leaving the dirty and tiring work to the other disciples.
But this time at the Yunyang Sect's frontline, they had not shown any remarkable abilities.
If they couldn't produce some results soon, it would be even harder to gain the respect of their peers.
Fu Jianyun didn't pay much attention to these concerns.
Confident in his exceptional talent, he believed the Yunyang Sect would never neglect his cultivation.
If he encountered another surprise attack and slew a few Golden Demons, the other disciples wouldn't dare to gossip.
Upon learning of Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan's return to the frontline, Taiwu Zhenren set off alone towards the frontline defense.
He quietly observed from the rear, assessing the performance of the sect disciples at the frontline.
He also wanted to see the several defense lines that were particularly effective in repelling demons.
These lines had killed many demons while sustaining minimal casualties.
The defense line guarded by the Flying Eagle Sect had not suffered any injuries, and they had recently killed nearly a hundred demons.
Taiwu Zhenren was naturally familiar with the Flying Eagle Sect.
Located in the southern region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Flying Eagle Sect was a relatively ordinary sect.
They specialized in body manipulation techniques, using agile and swift movements to launch fierce attacks.
Taiwu Zhenren was curious if the Flying Eagle Sect had discovered some new tricks.
In his impression, the Flying Eagle Sect was not particularly impressive.
Even their boasted body manipulation techniques didn't seem exceptional to Taiwu Zhenren.
Compared to the Yunyang Sect's techniques, they were far inferior, even falling short of the Heavenly Firmament City.
Heavenly Firmament City was a major sect renowned for its body transformation techniques.
This was the strength of a major sect.
The Flying Eagle Sect's proudest achievements, when compared to others, seemed mediocre and easily dismissed.
Taiwu Zhenren arrived at the frontline around noon.
Many disciples had started their lunch, which was understandable.
However, the vigilance along several defense lines had significantly decreased.
When Taiwu Zhenren patrolled the frontline, he didn't deliberately conceal himself.
Still, only a few disciples noticed his presence.
"They must be thinking that demon attacks are less likely during the day."
Taiwu Zhenren could only console himself with this thought.
He felt a surge of frustration.
Solving this problem wouldn't be accomplished in a day or two.
As Taiwu Zhenren walked along the defense line, he intended to observe the entire line.
When he reached the Flying Eagle Sect's defense line, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This two-mile-long defense line was laid out entirely differently from the other stages of the Yunyang Sect's defenses.
At first glance, it seemed like a different world.
As soon as Taiwu Zhenren approached this area, the sentry disciples immediately noticed him.
He hadn't tried to conceal himself, yet he had passed by several defense lines unnoticed.
Upon seeing Taiwu Zhenren, the Flying Eagle Sect's sentry disciples remained silent.
Their responsibility was to alert others about demons.
The presence of unfamiliar individuals on the defense line was highly likely to be Yunyang Sect members, which wasn't unusual.
Taiwu Zhenren bypassed the defense line and headed outside.
The two-mile-long frontline defense had been modified by Su Chen, transforming the outer perimeter into something unrecognizable from its previous state.
Obstacles were arranged in a specific pattern, and beneath them lay traps.
Further ahead, gullies crisscrossed the landscape.
Some gullies were left open, while others were covered with dry branches and leaves, seemingly to conceal their presence.
From this arrangement, it seemed that the intent was to create a cover.
Looking at these ordinary traps and obstacles, Taiwu Zhenren frowned slightly.
He couldn't understand the purpose of these seemingly insignificant traps and obstacles.
Even small demons might not be deterred by these defenses.
Taiwu Zhenren could tell from the way the Yunyang Sect undervalued the importance of fortifications that even their Sect Leader held such an attitude.
How would the other disciples and Hall Masters view this?
With some hesitation, Taiwu Zhenren approached a Falcon Sect disciple to inquire about the arrangements.
He asked who was responsible for these setups.
Taiwu Zhenren didn't reveal his identity; he merely displayed a hint of his aura, a suffocating presence that silently testified to his strength.
The powerful individuals appearing on the Yunyang Sect's frontline were mostly from the Yunyang Sect themselves.
Of course, even if they weren't from the Yunyang Sect, they wouldn't have the right to bargain or negotiate.
The Falcon Sect disciple didn't hide anything and informed Taiwu Zhenren that Senior Brother Chen was outside the defensive line, scouting the situation.
Upon hearing this, Taiwu Zhenren leaped over the traps and obstacles, heading into the wilderness.
Along the way, he even glanced back at these defenses.
This glance seemed to convey his disdain.
With a casual leap, he easily cleared the traps and obstacles.
Taiwu Zhenren headed in the direction indicated by the disciple and soon spotted Su Chen.
When Su Chen saw Taiwu Zhenren, he had already sensed someone approaching.
The Heavenly Destiny 【Demon Hunter】 didn't allow him to detect warriors as he did demons.
But the 【Demon Hunter】 did enhance his five senses.
Combined with the Heavenly Destiny 【Qi Gatherer】, his awareness of the surrounding environment and movements was far superior to others.
Upon seeing the visitor, Su Chen immediately recognized him.
Taiwu Zhenren, the Sect Leader of Yunyang Sect.
Su Chen had spent over two years in the Yunyang Sect and had no interactions with the Sect Leader.
However, as the leader of the sect, Su Chen had seen him from a distance and knew his appearance.
"Greetings, Taiwu Zhenren. Is there something you need from this junior?" Su Chen asked respectfully upon recognizing the Sect Leader.
Seeing Taiwu Zhenren, Su Chen wasn't surprised that he was recognized.
As the Sect Leader, many had seen him, and it was normal for him to be recognized.
"It's nothing urgent. I'm here to inspect this frontline defense.
The Falcon Sect has been doing an excellent job in guarding the line, slaying nearly a hundred demons without any casualties.
I thought I'd come and take a look." Taiwu Zhenren explained, then waited for Su Chen's response.
Seeing that Su Chen didn't answer immediately, Taiwu Zhenren continued, "You seem to be observing the demons' movements from the outskirts.
If you don't mind, I'll accompany you and provide protection as we walk along the perimeter." Taiwu Zhenren suggested, feeling a sudden interest in conversing with Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't refuse, and the two of them, old and young, walked along the defensive line.
