Chapter 239: Don't Be Stubborn
Chapter 239: Don't Be Stubborn
Su Chen had already chosen the ambush location.
It was just one li outside the defense line.
At that time, they would cut down many fresh plants at these locations.
Using the scent of these plants, they would mask the smell on their bodies.
Among the disciples, their cultivation realms were not yet strong enough to be easily detected by the demons.
However, the scent on their bodies might be sniffed out by the demons.
After all, it was a dog demon, and there were other dog demons around it.
The scent would likely be more noticeable to their keen noses.
In Su Chen's plan, the younger generation of disciples would be in ambush, only to deliver the finishing blow.
In other words, after the Yunyang Sect Elders dealt with the Earth Demon, the younger generation would take on the other demons.
Or, only when the Earth Demon was half-dead would they go in to deliver the final strike.
Of course, if their cultivation realms were insufficient, they might not even be able to pierce the demon's skin with their finishing blow.
At noon, Su Chen instructed Ge Yingying to arrange for the other disciples to start setting up their ambush positions.
As dusk approached, everyone finally learned where they should hide.
In the morning, Ge Yingying and Pang Zhongmin had already scouted the frontline and then checked the positions designated by Su Chen.
Still, they found no clues, let alone any signs of an impending Earth Demon attack.
After that, they went to Headmaster Shang Yan to inquire about the results of another reconnaissance team.
Again, they received no indication that the Earth Demon would attack the frontline.
By late afternoon, at Su Chen's urging, Ge Yingying and Pang Zhongmin really brought the frontline disciples.
The reason they came to assist was that many of them came with a playful attitude.
The Yunyang Sect disciples had always been somewhat arrogant towards "Chen Su."
And after hearing Ge Yingying and Pang Zhongmin's explanation, they looked down on him even more.
In their eyes, the only thing worth learning from "Chen Su" was his ability to put on a show.
Although his abilities were average, being favored and valued by the sect's higher-ups was a success.
Seeing the disciples brought by Ge Yingying and Pang Zhongmin, Su Chen directly arranged for them to go to their respective ambush locations.
"Before the sect elders take the initiative, none of you must not reveal yourselves.
The Earth Demon is not something the younger generation can handle.
Our task is to restrain and add to the beauty of the battle!"
Su Chen gave instructions to all the disciples, and his tone was even stern to ensure they remembered.
But these Yunyang Sect disciples didn't know what he meant.
Hearing Su Chen's instructions, a faint smile remained on their lips, and they didn't argue.
After half a day, the drill was almost over.
Su Chen asked everyone to return at dusk, and then they would begin the ambush.
The group walked away, making sure Su Chen couldn't see or hear them, before they finally spoke up.
"Honestly, the ambush locations prepared by this Chen Shidi are quite good.
I feel that hiding in such positions during the day might not even be discovered."
Someone couldn't help but praise Su Chen's arrangements for dealing with the Earth Demon.
To counter the Earth Demon, Su Chen's preparations were naturally not random.
Even Su Chen's casually arranged hiding spots were likely better than those of the Yunyang Sect disciples.
"If these aren't well-prepared, how can one put on a show?
Looking at these intricate mechanisms and various trap layouts, it feels quite extraordinary."
As the group spoke, they began to mention Grandmaster Taiwu.
Many people knew that "Chen Su" was the sect leader's favorite.
Behind their backs, they started talking about Grandmaster Taiwu's issue.
Hearing this, Ge Yingying quickly spoke up to stop them.
"You guys really start talking nonsense without any restraint. Be careful with your words!
Don't speculate about the sect leader!"
After Ge Yingying's reminder, everyone present seemed to calm down a bit.
A disciple seemed to have something on his mind, but he only spoke briefly.
"Chen Shidi's voice and tone today... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. It's strangely familiar."
His words didn't garner much attention from the others.
After all, Great Zhou had countless people, and finding someone with a similar voice shouldn't be difficult, especially if they were looking for a few who looked alike.
Su Chen went to check the defense line, looking for any potential loopholes.
Time flowed like a river, and soon it would be dusk.
Ge Yingying and Pang Zhongmin arrived with a group of disciples in tow.
Su Chen wanted to see how his arrangements would play out and what kind of joke they would become.
February brought gradually warming weather, but it was still winter.
The sky darkened earlier than usual.
Su Chen checked the ambush positions, ensuring everyone was well-hidden.
He inspected them again, finding no major issues.
Now, it was a matter of waiting for the Earth Demon to appear.
As he hesitated, Su Chen decided to approach Pang Zhongmin.
"Senior Brother Pang, I'm not sure which Elder is coming today. I may need to discuss some matters with them, so I'd like to talk first."
"Transcendent Powerholders are easily targeted by demons. It's best to stay hidden a bit further from the defense line."
"When the Earth Demon appears, I'll quickly come and attack."
Hearing this, Pang Zhongmin merely rolled her eyes.
"If you're not afraid of getting scolded, you can go to the sect and ask them to come. We don't have the energy to run for you, nor do we want to get scolded on your behalf."
Su Chen was taken aback by this unexpected response.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing much. I just mean that if you want the Elders to come, you can go to the sect and call them yourself. We won't run for you, nor will we risk ourselves for you."
At that moment, Su Chen realized Pang Zhongmin hadn't informed the Yunyang Sect.
Although he disliked the Yunyang Sect, he didn't wish harm on the others.
But Pang Zhongmin seemed genuinely intent on leading the Yunyang Sect disciples to their demise.
As Su Chen spoke, he glanced at Ge Yingying.
After all, Pang Zhongmin's words were sometimes unreliable.
Seeing Su Chen look at her, Ge Yingying nodded slightly.
"Chen Shidi, we've thoroughly checked the surroundings, and indeed, there's no trace of the Earth Demon.
Before the defense line is withdrawn, we'll surely spot the Earth Demon.
If it does come, we shouldn't miss any signs of its approach."
"Unless something unexpected happens, it's likely that Chen Shidi, you, missed something."
Su Chen had no desire to continue the conversation.
Ge Yingying, however, spoke up, "Chen Shidi, don't be stubborn. When it comes to dealing with the Earth Demon, we actually understand better than you.
We won't risk our lives for a joke, either."
[Lightness] Transcendent Power, [Luck Holder] Transcendent Power, [Unbreakable] Transcendent Power.
Without waiting for her to finish, Su Chen headed straight for the Yunyang Sect.
It was now the fourth quarter of dusk.
Nightfall was approaching.
Su Chen couldn't predict the exact timing of the attack, but it would likely be within these two days.
For now, he could only hope that the Earth Demon wouldn't appear tonight.
Even if it did come, he hoped it would be later rather than sooner.
The Yunyang Sect was some distance away, and given the mountain roads, it would take at least one hour to reach.
Around the fifth quarter of early evening, Su Chen arrived at the Yunyang Sect and sought out Grandmaster Taiwu.
By then, darkness had enveloped the area.
The ambush position was barely visible, illuminated only by distant lights.
Su Chen had originally come to witness a joke.
But at that moment, Pang Zhongmin and Ge Yingying had already spotted something.
In the distance, an Earth Demon hunched over, approaching the defense line. It was accompanied by several Golden Demons.
