Chapter 156: The Yunyang Sect's Invitation, Unlikely to be Refused
As dusk approached, the Yunyang Sect's frontline also began its nighttime preparations.
Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan, who had returned to the frontline today, were also ready to take action tonight.
They aimed to demonstrate their value as much as possible.
Although other disciples grumbled internally, the Yunyang Sect's leaders had kept this matter hidden from them.
Fu Jianyun had claimed he was going to learn scouting techniques, leaving the others with no choice but to accept. It felt somewhat false, but there was no concrete evidence.
Now, all eyes were on Fu Jianyun's performance on the frontline. If he excelled, these doubts would quickly dissipate.
The Yunyang Sect's leaders would also speak up for these Celestial Talents.
Taiwu Zhenren, as night fell, had moved slightly further away.
His powerful presence as a formidable cultivator could alter the demons' original plans.
It seemed like they were driving away the demons, but in reality, they were gathering more demons in the wilderness.
The next time the demons attacked, their numbers would be greater.
Perhaps it was better to let the demons come, as they had already gathered related intelligence.
By being prepared to deal with them, it was better than facing a sudden ambush next time.
Taiwu Zhenren didn't go to check on Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan.
The Sect Leader was now curious about the defensive line guarded by the Falcon Sect.
He wanted to see if demons would attack there tonight.
He also wanted to observe the seemingly ordinary traps and obstacles, and the purpose of the dug-out gullies.
After midnight, some demons began to stir.
Taiwu Zhenren headed towards the Falcon Sect's defensive line.
He chose a steep peak at the rear and observed from a distance.
At this distance, the demons should not be able to detect Taiwu Zhenren's presence.
However, Taiwu Zhenren couldn't rush in to slay the demons instantly, as they didn't pose a significant threat to him.
The Falcon Sect's disciples had already hidden themselves under Su Chen's arrangements.
Recently, the demons had been less active. Several peaceful days had passed.
Perhaps these demons were persistent, or they wanted to test their luck.
In their hiding places, the Falcon Sect's disciples had no complaints.
Su Chen's current task was to execute his plans firmly without seeking any excuses.
By staying close to Su Chen, they were certain that every step he took had a deeper meaning.
There were no useless moves.
After 1 AM, the demons still hadn't arrived.
No one questioned or complained.
Relying on Su Chen, they had earned significant merit points.
For disciples from a minor sect, this was no small feat.
Usually, it would take two to three years to accumulate such resources.
Following Su Chen, they had reaped a bountiful harvest in just a few days.
The only one who seemed dissatisfied was Qian Jie.
Originally, he was the only one working under Su Chen, but now others were taking his tasks.
After 3 AM, the demons finally appeared, as expected.
The Falcon Sect's disciples seemed to take this as a given."
Although the Yunyang Sect's message indicated a peaceful night on the frontline, Su Chen's prediction of a demon attack made them certain that demons would come tonight.
On the distant peak, Taiwu Zhenren's face showed clear surprise.
The Yunyang Sect's reconnaissance team of over thirty people conducted their scouting missions together daily.
Yet, the information they provided contained numerous inaccuracies.
Taiwu Zhenren's opinion of Su Chen improved, and his desire to recruit Su Chen for the Yunyang Sect seemed more resolute.
As the demons began their stealthy attack on the frontline, the traps and obstacles proved ineffective against them.
Taiwu Zhenren, however, had also discerned some insights.
The obstacle traps, including the gully, couldn't harm those demons at all.
Even the minor demons couldn't be injured.
These seemingly simple and ordinary things significantly hindered the demons' speed.
The leading Golden Demon could easily leap over the obstacles and wasn't afraid of the traps.
But the minor demons couldn't keep up.
A single Golden Demon, without the interference of other minor or major demons, was much easier to deal with.
At this moment, under Su Chen's signal, everyone took action.
The leading Golden Demon in the front was directly confronted by Su Chen with his blade.
With the support of the Blade Walker and Qi Gatherer, the fierce blade attack rushed towards the Golden Demon, leaving it no chance to retaliate.
The Superior Longsword, with its cold silver light, was already embedded in the body of the Golden Demon.
The other demons probably also sensed the situation was unfavorable and tried to escape.
But these obstacle traps, which were relatively easy to leap over, gradually demonstrated their value.
On the Yunyang Sect's frontline, these demons with violent temperaments seemed to have become afraid.
Faced with this situation, instead of rushing forward to attack, they chose to flee.
Su Chen was also curious about how the demons communicated with each other.
How did these newly arrived demons know that this defensive line was dangerous? Communication between humans and demons was difficult, and these questions would likely never be answered.
After waiting for a few hours, it only took a short while to deal with these demons.
Seeing this, Taiwu Zhenren seemed to have gained some insights.
As a Transcendent Realm cultivator, he never thought he could gain so much inspiration from this situation.
Building fortification traps wasn't to defend against the Golden or Earthly Demons.
Even the most solid fortifications might not withstand the impact of Earthly Demons.
But these fortifications could slow down the minor and major demons, which was enough.
It allowed the disciples to focus on dealing with the major demons and Golden Demons, enabling the stronger cultivators to concentrate on slaying the Earthly Demons without distractions.
Upon careful consideration, Yunyang Sect's frontline had faced significant issues for a year.
Apart from the inadequate scouting, there seemed to be another reason.
This reason was now revealed before him.
If the minor demons weren't handled well, they could sneak attack and harass during the night battles with other major demons and Golden Demons.
When demons invaded the city, the sect had to expend considerable manpower to resolve the situation.
Furthermore, the layout of these obstacle traps was also crucial.
Yunyang Sect had used them before, but the effects weren't very noticeable.
When Su Chen utilized them, the results were significantly more apparent.
From afar, on the mountain peak, Taiwu Zhenren observed the entire process.
No amount of words could be as persuasive as the facts before his eyes.
His mind was filled with various thoughts and ideas.
Taiwu Zhenren didn't approach the frontline as his presence might affect the demons' behavior beyond expectations.
He returned to the Yunyang Sect the same night and began writing.
The frontline needed to change, just as Su Chen had said.
Currently, the Yunyang Sect's frontline was only relatively stable.
The demons showed no fear of the frontline defense, posing little threat to the beasts.
At least, the frontline defense needed to be completely stabilized.
The letter Taiwu Zhenren was writing at this moment would be the sect's next strategic move.
With these fortifications, even if the scouting information was less accurate, it would be less likely to encounter the previous disasters.
When demons attacked, these fortifications would prevent them from escaping easily.
As Taiwu Zhenren wrote, his mind occasionally wandered.
"Although the Yunyang Sect is currently facing some difficulties, it's not as if we can't compete with the Falcon Sect.
That child should not refuse our Yunyang Sect's invitation."
