Chapter 174: Are Heavens' Pride Still Worthy of the Title?
Chapter 174: Are Heavens' Pride Still Worthy of the Title?
In the side hall, only Taiwu Zhenren and three elders were present today.
With the situation not as tense as before, unless it was a matter of utmost importance, Taiwu Zhenren, as the sect leader, had also relaxed his strictness over the past period.
However, compared to the previous two years, Taiwu Zhenren had to personally oversee many matters.
The crisis faced by the Yunyang Sect this time had also served as a wake-up call for him.
The position of the sect leader had never been easy.
If one felt relaxed, it meant that the sect was about to face a major issue.
"The disciples sent to the Falcon Sect have returned, and they brought back some news.
They said that Chen Su is not a disciple of the Falcon Sect, but a wandering cultivator from Great Zhou.
If we want to find Chen Su, we have approached the wrong place."
In the side hall, Taiwu Zhenren shared the recent news.
Although they had hit a wall, the several high-ranking members of the Yunyang Sect did not seem too discouraged.
Sun Xuerong, sitting nearby, also smiled lightly upon hearing this.
"The Falcon Sect must have made up some lies for us.
They wouldn't easily let us take away a talented disciple.
By saying this, they clearly don't want us to get in touch with Chen Su.
We can try asking other disciples of the Falcon Sect to gather some information from them."
Upon hearing this, Taiwu Zhenren nodded.
"The disciples we sent have already chatted with those Falcon Sect disciples.
But their statements are the same, all claiming that Chen Su is an outsider and not a disciple of the Falcon Sect."
Hearing these words, the faces of the few elders around slightly turned solemn.
"It seems that the people of the Falcon Sect have some foresight.
This current approach clearly indicates that they've guessed our intention to get in touch with Chen Su.
If they don't let us meet with Chen Su, it will be unlikely for us to bring him to the Yunyang Sect."
The few elders frowned slightly, realizing that their plan to recruit him would be challenging to carry out.
After a brief silence, Taiwu Zhenren no longer dwelled on this matter.
"Let's discuss Chen Su's matter later. A brilliant and dazzling disciple like him wouldn't be easy to hide for long.
By the way, Xingwan went on a reconnaissance mission and has returned, I heard.
Why hasn't anyone reported the results of her mission to me?"
Upon hearing Taiwu Zhenren's question, Sun Xuerong hesitated.
"This child is still not very familiar with reconnaissance missions.
During this trip to the wilderness, she didn't gather enough valuable information.
So, I didn't want to disturb the sect leader. I'm already looking for a new person to take over."
Hearing this, Taiwu Zhenren did not scold her.
"Forget it, it's already good that Xingwan has this intention.
She should spend more time on her cultivation, and these trivial matters should be assigned to others in the future."
After saying this, Taiwu Zhenren looked at the several elders again.
"Now that the frontline of our sect has stabilized, it's time to deal with some previous issues.
Especially the reputation of our Yunyang Sect.
After our difficulties on the frontline, many people in Great Zhou have been saying that our Yunyang Sect lacks insight.
They claim we can't recognize talent or discern the truth.
They've been making a fuss about that expelled disciple.
There must be some influence from Tiangang City behind this.
Since it's like this, let's start with this Su Chen and show the people of Great Zhou whether he is as capable as Tiangang City claims."
Sun Xuerong was the most supportive of Taiwu Zhenren's decision.
After the start of spring this year, she had faced doubts from many people.
This decision of Taiwu Zhenren would prove that her initial judgment was correct.
"Regarding this Su Chen, even the blind can see through Tiangang City's praise for him.
Not only is he extremely capable in dealing with demons, but his martial cultivation is also outstanding among his peers.
After a while, Tiangang City might even claim that he is comparable to Heavens' Pride."
The Great Elder spoke up, sharing the information he had learned.
Several of the Yunyang Sect's elders couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
"If anyone can surpass a genius, then what's the point of calling them a genius?
The Nanhu Conference invited several mediocre talents, and even praised their abilities during the event.
Since then, the Nanhu Conference has been shunned by the younger generation of Dazhou.
If this Su Chen is worthy of the title of Heaven's Pride, then future top disciples will also disdain the name of Heaven's Pride."
Elder Taiwu and the others nodded in agreement after hearing Sun Xuerong's words.
Nowadays, who among the true geniuses would bother attending the Nanhu Conference?
Those who go are only seeking fame and glory.
"Since Tiangang City is praising Su Chen so highly, let's wait until winter and see if there's an opportunity to meet him at some gathering.
We may not be able to verify his ability to deal with demons, but testing his martial prowess won't be difficult.
At that time, we can arrange for one of our sect's direct disciples to spar with him.
Let's see just how big of a lie Tiangang City has fabricated.
We can also take this opportunity to show the citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty the truth and expose Tiangang City's slander."
The other elders didn't oppose Elder Taiwu's plan.
However, they still had some concerns.
"Tiangang City should know Su Chen's true capabilities.
Even if there is such a competition, they probably won't let Su Chen participate."
Elder Taiwu furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment.
"That's true. No matter how foolish Tiangang City is, they know they'll lose face, so they definitely won't go again.
In that case, let our Yunyang Sect organize a competition this year.
With so many sects supporting us this year, it's as if our Yunyang Sect is preparing a reward assembly.
We'll offer some treasures as prizes.
When we go to invite Tiangang City, we'll specifically ask for Su Chen to participate.
If he still doesn't come, we can use this opportunity to promote ourselves.
If Tiangang City can tarnish our reputation, why can't we do the same to them?"
In the private room, several high-ranking members of the Yunyang Sect discussed.
With the frontline situation resolved, these sect elders did have some free time.
During their conversation, they touched upon various trivial matters.
However, Elder Taiwu still had some concerns about the frontline.
"Third Elder, Fifth Elder.
Our frontline defense is temporarily stable, but our sect's reconnaissance capabilities remain a weakness.
The Yunyang Sect cannot be confined here forever, and the frontline will eventually advance.
We will definitely need disciples with the necessary skills and abilities.
Additionally, our sect currently needs several disciples to carry out intelligence missions, but we can't find suitable candidates.
If we don't invest resources in their cultivation, this will remain a significant weakness for our sect."
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder and Sun Xuerong nodded in agreement.
After experiencing the recent frontline crisis, everyone should have learned their lesson.
In everyone's eyes, the reconnaissance missions were no longer considered easy tasks.
This time, the treatment and benefits for reconnaissance disciples would be much better than before.
In fact, even now, despite various obstacles and traps, if we want to deal with demons effectively, we still need reconnaissance disciples.
After all, the frontline is so long, and to handle it properly, we need accurate intelligence.
Providing precise reconnaissance information remains an indispensable part of the process.
