Chapter 203: How is the training of the scouting disciples going?
Chapter 203: How is the training of the scouting disciples going?
Last time, we sent people to the Falcon Sect, but they returned empty-handed. Elders like Sun Xuerong have kept people in the Falcon Sect to continue gathering information.
They even spent a lot of resources to bribe disciples within the Falcon Sect to gather information about Su Chen.
But the feedback we received all said that Su Chen is not a disciple of the Falcon Sect.
"Grandmaster, regarding Chen Su, the Falcon Sect is indeed being very tight-lipped.
Almost everyone who knows about Chen Su says he is just an ordinary ranger from the Zhou Dynasty.
He is not one of their sect's disciples, and no one knows his whereabouts.
Our disciples who are gathering information are almost at the point of seeking answers from the Falcon Sect's leader."
Sun Xuerong reported the latest information she had received, and upon hearing this, Grandmaster Taiwu's brows furrowed deeply.
But after a moment, he seemed to think of something, and his brows relaxed slightly.
"They all say that Chen Su is just an ordinary ranger from the Zhou Dynasty?
Well then, since he's a ranger, we can bring him into the Yunyang Sect, and the Falcon Sect won't have much to do with it.
Don't slack off in the search for Chen Su.
Besides the Falcon Sect, arrange for some people to go to Heavenly Pole City to investigate.
The Falcon Sect and Heavenly Pole City have always been on good terms. Knowing that we are looking for Chen Su, they might send him to Heavenly Pole City.
Moreover, a disciple with such talent, the Falcon Sect doesn't seem to have the foundation to nurture him.
When I fought with Chen Su before, I saw him use the Cloudwalk Step.
He should have received guidance in Heavenly Pole City."
Hearing this, the several elders nodded.
The four Hall Masters below the stage were a bit puzzled, as they didn't know who this Chen Su was.
The elders nodded, but they still had some doubts in their hearts.
The Third Elder hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but ask.
"Grandmaster, is it too much effort to invest in Chen Su?
What if we find him, but he still doesn't want to join our Yunyang Sect? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
The Third Elder's words did make some sense.
But upon hearing this, Grandmaster Taiwu gave him a cold look.
"When we were young, did we know where we would end up?
We spent so much on cultivation, and every time we weren't sure if we would gain enough.
Do you know what awaits you—a pile of white bones or dazzling brilliance? If you fear loss, you can't hope to do most things well.
You might as well give up and just do those light and easy tasks."
Grandmaster Taiwu's response left the Third Elder speechless.
Where in the world are there so many risk-free things?
If you're so worried about loss, cultivation is the first thing you should give up.
The Second Elder beside him stood up and pulled the Third Elder back to his seat.
"Grandmaster, we just think that perhaps we are putting too much emphasis on Chen Su.
Is he worth it?"
Grandmaster Taiwu seemed to have anticipated that the elders would ask this.
"Our frontline's peace today is thanks to these traps and obstacles, and everyone here agrees with that, right?"
The elders and hall masters in the side hall all nodded.
Indeed, the traps and obstacles had greatly helped the Yunyang Sect's frontline by hindering the demons.
"How to use these traps and obstacles, how to maximize their effectiveness—these were all ideas that Chen Su shared with me."
The elders knew this, and Grandmaster Taiwu was speaking to the hall masters.
"Besides that, before Chen Su left, he also chatted with me.
The issues he mentioned all came true in the end.
Our Yunyang Sect's frontline is only roughly stable, and there are still hidden crises.
Isn't his displayed strength and abilities enough for us to invest our efforts to bring him to the Yunyang Sect?"
Sun Xuerong beside him seemed to think of something and also spoke up.
"But Grandmaster, if the Falcon Sect is determined to block us, we won't even be able to meet Chen Su.
"How can we invite him to our Yunyang Sect?"
"In the end, it's still about finding Chen Su. It's too difficult."
"Fifth Elder, if you think finding Chen Su is challenging, then I'll ask you a question."
"Regarding the scouting disciples you've been cultivating, how are they progressing? Can they shoulder the responsibility and uncover the traces of the demons along the frontline?"
With just a few words, Sun Xuerong was left speechless by Grandmaster Taiwu.
She herself was dissatisfied with the scouting disciples she had cultivated, let alone others.
"Since the scouting disciples haven't been properly trained, Fifth Elder, do you plan to send Jianyun and Xingwan to the frontline again? Or do you have some other countermeasures in mind?"
Grandmaster Taiwu's continuous questioning rendered Sun Xuerong unable to respond.
"Additionally, what actions have you taken to deal with the mudslinging from Tiangang City? What are your arrangements? What's the specific plan?"
In the side hall, the five elders and four hall masters all remained silent, enduring the scolding.
Seeing that no one responded, Grandmaster Taiwu returned to his seat.
"Enough, I didn't come here today to scold you all. I have something rather important to discuss, so sit down."
After a pause, Grandmaster Taiwu scanned the crowd before beginning to speak about this important matter.
"Recently, I've been working with Hall Master Zhao Li to assign some reconnaissance missions.
We've conducted an in-depth analysis of the current situation on the frontline.
The crisis on the frontline has never truly been resolved.
In the eastern wilderness, the gathering of demons seems to have halted.
However, the demonic creatures that have reached this region haven't returned; instead, they've directly stayed here."
Upon hearing these words, everyone was taken aback.
If this was the case, there were still thousands, or even tens of thousands, of demons remaining in the eastern wilderness. With winter approaching, would the demons become even more frenzied?
"I had a casual chat with Hall Master Zhao Li, and we believe that with such a large number of demons, they are unlikely to calm down after winter sets in.
Moreover, there's another troublesome matter.
During the recent harassment incidents on the frontline, traces of Earth Demons have been detected."
In the side hall, everyone's expressions grew increasingly solemn.
Behind the demon harassment lurked the traces of Earth Demons, known as the Earth Demon Calamity.
Earth Demons possess a considerable amount of spiritual intelligence and are usually quite cautious about their survival.
Their strength is formidable, and they don't lack food in the wilderness.
Therefore, Earth Demons rarely attack the frontline, fearing unforeseen consequences.
However, if not handled properly, it could spell disaster for the entire frontline.
The strength of Earth Demons varies greatly; weaker ones might be manageable with Sixth Stage power, but more powerful ones could even give Fifth Stage Perfection cultivators a headache.
"You've all probably heard rumors about the Earth Demons attacking the frontline.
It's likely that they are on the verge of advancing to Heaven Demons.
If they manage to break through the frontline during the late-night hours, it could lead to a catastrophic disaster."
The faces of those present turned extremely grave.
Previously, the issues on the frontline might have only led to a potential Beast Tide.
Whether the Beast Tide would erupt was still uncertain.
But this Earth Demon Calamity had a much higher chance of erupting than the Beast Tide. If the demons had been suppressed before, they might have temporarily calmed down.
But with the Earth Demon Calamity, it's possible that the harassing demons are just pawns in the Earth Demons' scheme.
"Sect Leader, do you think that Chen Su can help us overcome this crisis?
The frontline is so vast that even the most skilled scouts would struggle to detect the traces of Earth Demons.
The spiritual intelligence of Earth Demons far surpasses that of other Greater Demons."
Grandmaster Taiwu found Sun Xuerong's doubts reasonable.
"You haven't met Chen Su, so it's understandable that you lack confidence in him.
If he can come, Fifth Elder, you can talk to him in person.
At that time, you might appreciate him even more than I do.
Even if he can't completely turn the situation around, he can provide significant assistance."
