Chapter 155: Can Chen Su be lured to Yunyang Sect?
Chapter 155: Can Chen Su be lured to Yunyang Sect?
"Although demons differ from beasts, they still retain certain bestial instincts. Many demons rely heavily on their sense of smell, which is crucial for tracking them. They also leave urine and feces to mark their territories."
As they walked, the two continued their conversation.
During their talk, Taiwu Zhenren gradually realized that Su Chen seemed to have a good understanding of how to deal with demons. Some of his methods were even unknown to Taiwu Zhenren himself. Moreover, Su Chen's speech was clear and logical, unlike some disciples who struggled to explain things.
The more they talked, the more Taiwu Zhenren appreciated Su Chen. No wonder the Falcon Sect's defense of the frontline was so stable. As they passed certain locations, Su Chen would point out where demons might launch attacks, noticing even the subtlest traces. Taiwu Zhenren became increasingly impressed and began asking Su Chen for his opinions on various matters.
"What do you think of our Yunyang Sect's reconnaissance team's capabilities?" Taiwu Zhenren couldn't help but ask this question again, seeing Su Chen's familiarity with reconnaissance. He had already asked this question to many of his elders, but now he wanted to hear the opinion of this newly acquainted friend. The Falcon Sect had been on the frontline for some time and must have gathered a lot of intelligence.
"The accuracy of reconnaissance is sufficient for other sects, but for the Yunyang Sect, it's far from enough," Taiwu Zhenren said with a serious expression.
"Why is it sufficient for other sects but not for us? Do you think our Yunyang Sect's disciples lack the necessary skills?" Taiwu Zhenren asked earnestly, sensing that Su Chen might have grasped something important.
"You should know, Elder, that the variety of demons on the frontline is vast, and their temperaments are fierce. Even demons from southern Great Zhou have appeared here. What do these signs indicate? You know that, Elder."
Before Taiwu Zhenren could respond, his expression grew even more solemn. The young man before him indeed knew something.
"Where did you hear this information?"
"I saw some things and guessed the rest, and then I understood. The Yunyang Sect's frontline defense can't stop this decline, and a major disaster like the beast tide might be unavoidable."
Su Chen spoke directly. Previously, Su Chen had planned to ask Li Yu, the Hall Master, for advice and suggestions. Now that he had unexpectedly met Taiwu Zhenren, he decided to speak directly to him and let him make the arrangements, reducing the chances of errors by cutting out the middleman.
The pleasant conversation came to an abrupt halt. After a while, neither spoke, and Taiwu Zhenren sighed deeply. They began walking back.
"Regarding the beast tide..."
"Rest assured, Elder, others are still unaware, and I won't tell anyone else. But with the current situation, the frontline can only be roughly stabilized. We can't even fully defend it, so the beast tide is inevitable."
The two had returned to the outer perimeter of the Falcon Sect's defensive line.
"In your opinion, how should our Yunyang Sect defend the frontline? We can't just set up some obstacle traps and dig some ditches, can we?" Taiwu Zhenren said with a hint of helpless laughter.
"But you, young man, do have some skill in observing demon traces. I'll arrange for you to join the reconnaissance team. There, your rewards and daily treatment will greatly improve."
In this brief conversation, Taiwu Zhenren had already formed a favorable impression of Su Chen. However, Su Chen immediately shook his head. The Yunyang Sect's reconnaissance team had over thirty members, and Su Chen had no interest in joining them and arguing with others.
"Senior Brother, you should pay more attention to these Fortifications.
With their help, we can at least stabilize the current Frontline Defense of the Yunyang Sect.
We won't have to worry about the safety of the defensive line every other day."
"Alright, Sir, I'll consider it."
Taiwu Zhenren responded with a smile.
However, this type of "consideration" response is usually a polite way of refusing.
Seeing Taiwu Zhenren's attitude, Su Chen continued.
"Senior Brother, if you have doubts about the effectiveness of these Traps and Obstacles, why not come and observe tonight?
I've already spotted Demon Tracks, and there will be over twenty Demons attacking tonight.
You'll see the results with your own eyes.
Just make sure you stand as far away as possible, as your cultivation realm might cause the Demons to flee if they sense your presence."
Su Chen spoke with absolute certainty, and it did spark some interest in Taiwu Zhenren.
"Alright, if I'm free tonight, I'll come and take a look."
After saying this, Taiwu Zhenren prepared to leave.
He took a few steps and then turned back.
"I know your surname is Chen, but I don't know your full name."
"My name is Chen Su, Junior."
"Good, I'll remember your name, Junior."
Taiwu Zhenren nodded and then headed towards the main camp of the frontline defense.
Watching Su Chen, Taiwu Zhenren couldn't help but start planning in his mind.
"The Falcon Sect is just a Minor Sect. I wonder if there's a way to bring this Chen Su to the Yunyang Sect.
With him leading the team, perhaps we can rest assured about the frontline."
Taiwu Zhenren had already considered various methods of recruiting in his mind.
Now, he just needed to wait for tonight.
If it weren't for the potential Beast Tide, Su Chen would never have bothered with the frontline.
But currently, from Su Chen's recent Reconnaissance, even with the assistance of other Sects, the situation is only barely under control.
The Demons' tactics cause continuous losses.
Constantly giving the wild Demons confidence, they haven't been suppressed at all.
If this Taiwu Zhenren doesn't listen to advice, I'll have to seek Li Yu, the Hall Master."
It was already noon.
Taiwu Zhenren headed directly to the main camp of the frontline defense.
When they saw Taiwu Zhenren, everyone was taken aback.
They hadn't heard that the Sect Leader would be visiting today. Several Hall Masters and some disciples quickly adjusted their postures, no longer appearing as casual.
He Chao, in the middle, quickly stood up to offer his seat.
Taiwu Zhenren inquired about the frontline situation.
At this time, the reports from the morning's scouting were delivered.
As others reported the situation, the disciple delivering the messages arrived.
Taiwu Zhenren specifically selected the report from the Falcon Sect.
The letter contained detailed information about potential Demon attacks on each section of the defensive line.
According to the letter, there would be no Demon attacks tonight, which contradicted what Su Chen had said.
Taiwu Zhenren handed these reports to He Chao for distribution.
Now, Taiwu Zhenren was curious about which side was more accurate.
The Falcon Sect is a minor sect, but their recent performance on the frontline has been exceptional.
With nearly a hundred Demons slain and no casualties, the Falcon Sect's information seems credible.
Taiwu Zhenren kept these thoughts to himself.
"Are Jianyun and Xingwan here on the frontline as well?"
Taiwu Zhenren asked about the two as the other disciples left the tent.
"They arrived a while ago and should be settling in."
Hearing this, Taiwu Zhenren nodded.
"Their reputation has likely taken a hit.
If there's an opportunity, give them a chance to prove themselves.
There's no need to help them too much. I still trust their abilities.
They know how to showcase their value."
