Chapter 163: Blame it on Su Chen
Chapter 163: Blame it on Su Chen
In addition to guiding Su Chen on techniques, Taiwu Zhenren also provided some cultivation methods.
After entering the Seventh Rank, cultivation indeed becomes more complex compared to the Eighth and Ninth Ranks.
At the Seventh Rank, one needs to temper their mental state.
Some exceptionally talented disciples progress faster at this stage than in the previous two ranks.
Others, however, struggle and may only see minimal improvement for several years.
In Taiwu Zhenren's opinion, Su Chen is a relatively gifted disciple.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reach the Middle Realm of the Seventh Rank at the age of twenty.
Taiwu Zhenren shared some of his cultivation experiences to guide Su Chen.
But no matter how many tips he received, ultimately, it was up to Su Chen to improve his cultivation.
Even if he was taught a lot, there was no way to learn if he couldn't practice.
Su Chen took Taiwu Zhenren's guidance to heart, and he would try them out during his future cultivation.
It must be said that receiving guidance from a Transcendent Realm Powerhouse can truly bring about significant gains.
Previously, when he talked with Senior Qiu, he also benefited a lot.
This Moon Overflow Divine Art is not only useful for enhancing one's strength in daily use.
In critical moments, it can also save lives.
The two talked for more than three hours before Taiwu Zhenren left for the Defense Camp.
Perhaps only Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan in Yunyang Sect could afford to have him guide them for so long.
Upon his return to the Defense Camp, Taiwu Zhenren informed the frontline leaders of the locations he had learned from Su Chen.
He instructed them to pay attention to these positions and set up ambushes over the next two nights.
After hearing Taiwu Zhenren's instructions, the leaders under his command naturally left to carry them out.
With the fortifications in place, the morale of the stationed disciples on the frontline defense line significantly improved, and their vitality soared.
Compared to before, the demons were mostly at a disadvantage.
Now, the stationed disciples often have the upper hand when facing demons.
Although, compared to the past two years, they still often miss their ambushes due to inaccurate information.
However, thanks to the existence of obstacle traps, most demons that injure people cannot escape.
Previously, injured demons could flee.
Some even dragged people into the wilderness.
As for now, how can they escape?
Sometimes, changing one's perception seems difficult.
But setting up these obstacle traps is relatively simple.
Anyone who has recently fought the demons can see the effectiveness of these traps and obstacles.
After a night passed, Taiwu Zhenren received a report on the previous night's situation within the sect.
The messenger was Ye Kui, the hall master whom Taiwu Zhenren had instructed the day before.
The information he provided was seventy percent verified and extremely accurate in terms of location.
It was far more precise than the reports from the reconnaissance teams on the frontline.
The ambushes set up on the frontline defense line were highly effective, and the invading demons might even feel like they were being ambushed.
The remaining thirty percent of the locations would continue to be monitored for the next night.
After all, Taiwu Zhenren had previously informed Ye Kui that these locations would see demon attacks within the next two days.
After delivering the message, Ye Kui continued to flatter Taiwu Zhenren, praising him as a worthy sect leader.
Taiwu Zhenren waved his hand, urging Ye Kui to quickly return to the frontline.
Sitting at his desk, Taiwu Zhenren thought for a moment and then instructed his attendants to call the other elders.
The verification of the previous night's information further demonstrated Su Chen's abilities.
The locations he pointed out were indeed where demons attacked during the night.
The Pavilion Master had also praised the precision of the provided locations. The ambush was extremely effective. If such a disciple were to join the Yunyang Sect, the sect's ability to deal with demons would rapidly improve. The current difficulties would never arise again.
The Third Elder had finished his tasks and returned to the sect. Today, all five elders had arrived and taken their seats. The situation at the frontline had improved, and the elders' expressions brightened.
Although it couldn't be confirmed if the beast tide had subsided, at least the frontline defense was progressing positively. Everything was moving in a good direction, and the elders could finally relax.
However, upon arriving at Taiwu Zhenren's courtyard, they saw him frowning slightly. His expression worried the other elders.
"Sect Leader, has something major happened at the frontline again?" The Great Elder couldn't help but ask, as he hadn't received any news yet.
Hearing this question, Taiwu Zhenren realized the concern. He slightly relaxed his frown.
"The frontline defense is stable. Yesterday, we successfully ambushed and eliminated numerous demons. The frontline is secure."
Taiwu Zhenren didn't elaborate on the frontline situation. He had gathered the elders today solely to discuss Su Chen.
"Yesterday, Chen Su Xiaoyou and I patrolled the outer perimeter of the defense line. He's the disciple from the Falcon Sect.
He provided me with many locations, indicating where demon ambushes would likely occur.
I instructed Pavilion Master Ye Kui to set up ambushes at those spots. Today, Ye Kui reported back, and the information was accurate. The locations were nearly flawless."
Taiwu Zhenren paused slightly, then turned to the elders.
"Chen Su is indeed highly capable in dealing with demons. But, in fact, his abilities go beyond just demon-slaying.
His cultivation strength is also exceptional.
Under the pretext of guiding him, I sparred with him. His Seventh Rank Middle Realm strength required me to be slightly more serious.
Even in actual combat, I could sense his intelligence and quick thinking.
In front of me, he even set up a scheme to deceive me with his techniques."
As Taiwu Zhenren spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, even though he hadn't finished his sentence.
Sun Xuerong, standing nearby, seemed to understand why the sect leader sighed.
"Sect Leader, is this disciple named Chen Su unwilling to join our Yunyang Sect?"
Hearing Sun Xuerong's question, Taiwu Zhenren nodded.
"He refused quite decisively, without much hesitation. But I noticed that when I invited him to our Yunyang Sect, his expression was somewhat odd.
I told him that joining us would provide him with better cultivation opportunities. Yet, this young man not only didn't believe me but also warned me not to be too certain about anything."
Sun Xuerong seemed to instantly grasp the reason behind Taiwu Zhenren's sigh. She lightly hummed in response.
"Sect Leader, I understand the root of the issue. It's very likely due to that expelled disciple, Su Chen.
Currently, rumors are spreading throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, claiming that after reaching Tiangang City, Su Chen received significant attention.
His strength and status have improved, and everything is better than when he was with us in the Yunyang Sect.
These rumors are undoubtedly influencing many young disciples.
With the Falcon Sect and Tiangang City's close relationship, this young man must have been influenced by such rumors."
Everyone found this analysis very reasonable.
