Chapter 242: Summoning Sun Xuerong Back!
Chapter 242: Summoning Sun Xuerong Back!
Upon receiving Grandmaster Taiwu's summons, the disciples involved in the ambush had already guessed the reason before they arrived.
With the situation blowing up so big, there was no way to escape it.
Soon, numerous disciples from the Yunyang Sect's frontline were called outside the tent.
Grandmaster Taiwu stood before them with a solemn expression.
By his side, four elders awaited.
Shang Yan, who was injured, also sat down nearby with the assistance of her attendants.
Everyone wanted to know the reason, and they were genuinely curious as to how their Sect Leader had learned about the crisis on the frontline so quickly.
Seeing that most people had arrived, especially Pang Zhongmin, Ge Yingying, and the other three, a total of five people, had come.
Grandmaster Taiwu took a record book from his attendant.
This record book was the one Ge Yingying and her group had previously submitted.
Inside the record book, everything Chen Su did daily was documented.
This proved that Chen Su had made no contributions to the frontline whatsoever.
Moreover, there were also quite a few frontline disciples who had signed above as witnesses.
Holding the record book, Grandmaster Taiwu walked directly towards the crowd of disciples.
"Many of you on the frontline haven't done a good job with your own tasks, yet when it comes to pointing out others' faults, you're quite capable.
When writing this book, you must have felt quite proud, right? Were you also saying behind my back that I'm shortsighted and blind to talent?"
Grandmaster Taiwu's words, though not harsh in tone, caused the disciples to tremble involuntarily.
The faces of a few elders standing by also changed slightly.
They had previously shared similar thoughts about Chen Su with the other disciples.
They also looked down upon Chen Su.
"Just from the things you submitted, we can tell that you're arrogant and self-righteous.
Despite your lack of ability, you still look down on others.
I even feel that many excellent disciples in our sect were once driven away like this!"
After Grandmaster Taiwu finished speaking, he directly walked into the crowd.
Seeing their Sect Leader approaching, the disciples quickly made way.
Grandmaster Taiwu walked straight to Pang Zhongmin and Ge Yingying's side, looking at the two coldly.
The other disciples who had participated in the ambush also lowered their heads, fearing they would be implicated.
"Did Chen Su tell you that the Earth Demons would launch an attack?"
With a soft question, he directly stopped the two, leaving them unsure how to respond.
"I'm asking you, did he tell you or not!"
Seeing the two remain silent, Grandmaster Taiwu raised his voice in pursuit.
"He... he did say so," Pang Zhongmin stammered.
"Then why didn't you go back to the sect to request reinforcements from the elders!"
Pang Zhongmin and Ge Yingying, who were questioned, had already turned pale.
Although they were favored core disciples in the Yunyang Sect, Grandmaster Taiwu wasn't going to give them any face today.
"Look at how many people are injured and how many died last night.
Look at how severely Hall Master Shang Yan is injured! All of this is because of your arrogance and pride.
If Chen Su wasn't truly capable, would I have invited him?
I previously told you to be steady and learn diligently from him, but you didn't understand at all!"
Grandmaster Taiwu's reprimands came one after another, without any intention of giving them face.
Although he had some doubts about Chen Su before, he didn't mention them at all now.
The others also understood at this moment why Grandmaster Taiwu could arrive at the frontline by Hai Hour.
"That child Chen Su learned that the two of you didn't request help from the elders and immediately rushed back to the sect.
I only received the news around early evening last night.
Chen Su predicted that the Earth Demons would launch an attack last night or tonight."
When I first heard the news, I didn't think much of it at first.
But who could've predicted that the Earth Demon's attack would be so unexpected?
After speaking, Grandmaster Taiwu walked over to the Fourth Elder.
"Second Elder, do you now understand why Chen Su didn't inform us beforehand?
It's because they hid the news until dusk, and only then did Chen Su learn the truth!
I really want to ask, are you holding a grudge against your fellow sect members, intentionally harming them?"
Outside the tent, Grandmaster Taiwu berated Pang Zhongmin and Ge Yingying mercilessly.
He had vented his anger, but it wasn't enough to just let off steam.
"Starting today, Pang Zhongmin and the other four will accompany the injured back to the sect.
Their task has been changed to caring for the wounded disciples.
All contributions this year will be used for the care of the injured."
As he spoke, Grandmaster Taiwu turned to look at the five of them.
"The sect values you so much, and even the original opportunities for advancement are all given to you.
This is what you've done, and you've even made a grave mistake.
Do you have any objections to the sect leader's arrangements?"
Facing the sect leader's interrogation, Pang Zhongmin seemed to have a 'broken jar is hard to piece together' attitude.
"Caring for fellow sect members, I accept and understand.
But as for the advancement opportunities you mentioned, what exactly did he teach us?
What can we learn from him?
Digging traps? Making incomprehensible mechanisms?"
Grandmaster Taiwu, however, merely humphed in response.
"This morning, I had a good talk with Chen Su about this matter.
Your foundations are too weak, and your ability to distinguish demon traces is at the beginner level.
Chen Su has been guiding you, providing all sorts of pointers, yet you showed no response at all.
Allowing you to borrow mechanisms and traps to identify traces was already the best method.
But you, being arrogant and conceited, think too highly of yourselves.
You're only chasing after fame and prestige, not knowing how to calm down and study diligently.
No matter how much you argue, I will definitely punish you severely!"
After speaking, Grandmaster Taiwu's gaze shifted to the other disciples.
"Over here, I will arrange for more disciples to study and learn under Chen Su.
Those who receive this arrangement should put aside their arrogance and focus on learning.
You all should have heard how the citizens of Great Zhou are commenting on us.
The future of Yunyang Sect lies in your hands.
If this continues, even the vast Yunyang Sect will eventually collapse.
If anyone wishes to learn investigation techniques, they can come to me and volunteer."
After speaking, Grandmaster Taiwu waved his hand, signaling for everyone to disperse.
When he regained his composure, he called everyone to stop.
"Starting today, all of you must unconditionally execute the tasks Chen Su arranges to deal with the demons.
If you have doubts and questions, you can come to me for a talk.
Our sect's investigative abilities are already weak, and we don't have the right to casually question others.
I hope you can put aside your arrogance and pride."
After speaking, Grandmaster Taiwu called the other elders and returned to the tent.
The four elders' expressions were not pleasant at this moment.
Those words just now seemed to scold the Yunyang Sect disciples, but in reality, they were also reprimanding these elders.
"Sect Leader..."
The Great Elder wanted to say something, but before the words reached his lips, Grandmaster Taiwu interrupted him.
"The first thing to do now is to call the Third Elder back!
It's because our disciples' understanding is insufficient, and they don't comprehend Chen Su's arrangements.
They even thought of retrieving the Heavenly Blossom Fruit and said that the Eagleeye Sect should return it if they had any face.
In my opinion, it's us who have lost all face!"
