Chapter 17: The Stupidity of Yunyang Sect
Chapter 17: The Stupidity of Yunyang Sect
Inside the tent, the group continued to discuss Su Chen.
Previously, everyone had doubts about Su Chen.
Even after he exposed two cat demons, they still didn't fully trust him.
But the events of last night changed their opinions of Su Chen.
As they spoke, one of the disciples couldn't help but ask a question.
"If Su Chen isn't the type to steal credit, why would Yunyang Sect expel him?"
"What other reason could there be? It's because Yunyang Sect is stupid, because they're foolish!"
"At the very least, it's because Yunyang Sect is corrupt!"
"Anyway, I refuse to believe that Su Shidi is the kind of person Yunyang Sect claims him to be."
"It's likely that Su Shidi's bravery overshadowed others, making him too outstanding."
"A group of people joined forces to slander Su Shidi, wanting to tarnish his reputation and ruin him."
"A bunch of villains, their hearts deserve to be condemned!"
Lin Tian, sitting on the bed, spoke with a hint of anger in his tone.
Seeing Lin Tian's attitude, the others could understand his perspective.
Su Chen had saved his life; he was his savior, so it was natural for him to speak up for Su Chen.
Noticing that no one else agreed or continued the conversation, Lin Tian paused before speaking again.
"Everyone, I experienced it myself and witnessed Su Shidi's every move last night."
"Those who seek glory and fear danger, how many of them faced the great demon without trembling in fear?"
"Perhaps you might say that Su Shidi wanted to change his reputation, hence taking the risk."
"But when facing the demonic creatures, he remained calm and fearless."
"To be honest, he's quite a bit more impressive than me, Lin Tian."
"That skilled response, it's clear he's someone who frequently travels in the wilderness."
"How could such a person be greedy for glory and afraid of danger?"
"Actually, I also chatted with Su Chen before. He's very knowledgeable about reconnaissance missions."
"His experience in handling wilderness situations is indeed impressive."
"From our conversation, I can almost confirm that Su Shidi frequently carries out reconnaissance missions."
"He's definitely not the type to steal credit or fear for his life."
As the senior brother and team leader, Wu Yi's words carried weight.
His statement earned the group's trust in Su Shidi.
"Regardless, Su Shidi saved Lin Tian, and I admire his bravery. I believe in him."
During the conversation, the group reached a consensus.
Setting aside their prejudices against Su Chen, they agreed to get along harmoniously from then on.
After lunch, Su Chen heard that Lin Tian could receive visitors, so he went to see him.
When Su Chen arrived, Lin Tian immediately struggled to sit up.
His face was filled with a warm smile, welcoming Su Chen.
Su Chen asked about his injuries, and after confirming he was mostly unharmed, they began discussing other matters.
"I believe Su Shidi's strength is at the initial stage of the Eighth Level Essence Refinement Realm?"
The aura he exuded last night should have been noticeable to Lin Tian.
"But to be honest, Su Shidi's strength at the initial stage of the Eighth Level Essence Refinement Realm is not far off from my Profound Completion of the same realm."
"At first, I even thought it was Senior Brother Wu Yi."
Lin Tian spoke with a smile, his words praising Su Chen's strength.
This wasn't an exaggeration.
Su Chen cultivated the Mystical Heavenly Path Heart Sutra, which inherently provided a stronger foundation compared to others.
After all, it was a Sage's cultivation method, and the sense of improvement was indeed more substantial.
With the added blessing of Heavenly Destiny, his Blade Mastery was on par with those in the middle stages of Essence Refinement.
But to say that his strength wasn't inferior to those at the Profound Completion stage was indeed high praise.
"As I lay here with nothing to do, my mind wanders back to the events of last night.
Upon reflection, it seems that Junior Brother used some blade techniques, but there wasn't much mystical about his moves."
Lin Tian turned to Su Chen, a hint of question in his eyes.
"As you observed, I've only learned some basic blade techniques in Yunyang Sect. There's not much mystical about them."
Hearing that Su Chen had only learned basic blade techniques, Lin Tian's eyes lit up.
I owe him my life, and I must repay this kindness.
This isn't something that can be brushed off with a few words.
Lin Tian had already been thinking about how to repay Su Chen.
During their conversation, he was also hoping to gather some information and determine what he could offer in return.
Now it seems that Su Chen doesn't have a suitable blade technique, and I can give him a gift in return.
Waving his hand, Lin Tian immediately instructed his attendant to bring his luggage.
He then reached into it and took out two books.
"Su Shi Di, take a look. I have two blade technique manuals here.
Take them and have a look. Either way, they're better than your basic blade techniques."
Seeing the two books, Su Chen still hesitated and didn't take them.
Noticing this, Lin Tian quickly reacted.
"Su Shi Di, rest assured. These blade techniques aren't from Tiangang City's cultivation methods.
I'm not foolish enough to give away our sect's treasures.
This one is a family heirloom, the Lin Clan's blade technique. It may not be as mystical as the great sects' techniques, but it's not too bad either.
It's just that I'm not used to wielding this long blade, so I never delved deeper into its practice.
The other blade technique manual, I bought it on a whim during a trip, picking it up at a roadside stall.
I thought it might bring some opportunities, but after flipping through it, it all seemed like nonsense."
Lin Tian wanted to say that this cultivation manual was full of gibberish.
But suddenly, he realized something.
Am I belittling the gift I'm giving? That doesn't seem right.
"Su Shi Di, your blade skills are undoubtedly several times better than mine.
Only in your hands can these two cultivation manuals truly fulfill their purpose."
As he spoke, Lin Tian stuffed the two cultivation manuals into Su Chen's hands.
Seeing this, Su Chen no longer refused.
Indeed, I need a suitable blade technique.
That night, if I had wielded exquisite blade skills, perhaps that tiger demon would have died by my hand instead of fighting me.
"Thank you, Lin Shi Xiong, for the books. I'll boldly accept them."
"You saved my life, Lin Shi Xiong. This is the least I can do."
Yunyang Sect's Frontlines.
The disciples pushed the defense line forward by a foot, effectively expanding Great Zhou's territory by the same measure.
But recently, all the frontline disciples have been recalled to the main camp.
The frontline disciples' faces no longer carried the previous casualness.
At night, demons often launched attacks.
The sentinels seemed to be on high alert all night, having just driven away a group of demons.
And now another group appeared.
Even the disciples resting at night couldn't sleep peacefully.
What if a demon sneaks in while we're asleep? Our lives might be at stake.
The group searched for the cause, blaming each other, claiming that someone hadn't done their job properly.
Yunyang Sect's higher-ups had already heard the news from the frontlines.
He Chao had been considering how to respond.
The sect's higher-ups had already dispatched Shang Yan Tangzhu to replace him.
In the past month, seven disciples had lost their lives on the frontlines.
Even if we retreat the defense line to the main camp, it's still challenging to deal with these demons.
These demons launch their attacks at night.
They dare to come right up to the main camp and escape unscathed.
If these demons don't suffer consequences for their audacity, they'll keep pushing boundaries.
