Chapter 244: This Child is Unwilling to Join the Yunyang Sect
Chapter 244: This Child is Unwilling to Join the Yunyang Sect
Zhao Li, accompanying Chen Su, felt an unprecedented sense of relief while exploring the wilderness.
Having studied the habits of demons for many years, Zhao Li was the first to notice the previous Beast Tide crisis and this Earth Demon crisis.
Zhao Li is aware of her ability to track demons, and among her peers, she should be ranked highly.
However, in the wilderness with Chen Su, they discovered many traces that she had not noticed before, all of which were pointed out.
They even found traces of the Earth Demon's escape from that day.
The two of them followed the traces, venturing nearly ten li deeper into the wilderness.
Finally, Su Chen reminded them, and they stopped.
Zhao Li, as a Fifth Rank Powerhouse and Hall Master, had already made the demons sensitive to her presence.
Moreover, this Earth Demon had been trying to target Fifth Rank Powerhouses.
Her actions were like walking into a trap.
Nevertheless, this trip was not without its gains, and they also witnessed unusual conditions in the wilderness.
In the wilderness, most demons should be scattered.
Most demons have a strong sense of territoriality, each occupying their own areas.
However, in this wilderness, Su Chen and Zhao Li saw many places where demons were gathering.
Judging from the quantity and variety of droppings, it seemed very unusual.
The current wilderness felt more dangerous than before.
After two days together, when Grandmaster Taiwu learned that they had ventured into the wilderness, he immediately called Zhao Li back to the sect.
Then, he scolded her harshly.
"It's obvious that the demon is targeting you Fifth Rank Powerhouses.
Are you so eager to throw away your life?
As a Hall Master, you're acting like a reckless child!"
In the lateral hall, after Grandmaster Taiwu's reprimand, the surrounding elders also joined in, pointing out Zhao Li's issues.
Sun Xuerong had not yet returned to the sect, and today's absentee was the Great Elder, who was supposed to be at the frontline garrison.
Zhao Li, having been scolded, lowered her head, not daring to speak up.
The other Hall Masters nearby also realized that Grandmaster Taiwu was concerned about her.
With the Earth Demon Plague wreaking havoc, one Hall Master had already been injured.
The Yunyang Sect could not afford to have another Hall Master hurt; it would be a significant blow.
After the scolding, Grandmaster Taiwu picked up a cup from the side and took a sip, his tone softening slightly.
"After all this recklessness, you've traversed the wilderness several times. Did you gain anything?"
Hearing her sect leader's question, Zhao Li began to speak.
"The snow in the wilderness hasn't melted yet, so it's not difficult to find demon traces.
From what we've seen, there seem to be many more demons in the wilderness than before.
Overall, the eastern wilderness demons are showing signs of gathering.
Many solitary demons are starting to come together, as if something is about to happen.
I don't think these situations are caused by the Earth Demon Plague.
Additionally, we also found traces of the Earth Demon in the wilderness. Perhaps by following these traces deeper, we can find that Earth Demon."
Hearing this, Grandmaster Taiwu seemed to be startled again.
"You didn't actually track the Earth Demon's traces, did you?"
Zhao Li shook her head repeatedly.
"The aura of a Fifth Rank Warrior is too noticeable to demons. I'm not suitable for tracking."
"Is that a valid reason?
You should be mindful of your safety and not take unnecessary risks!
Going into that wilderness alone is one thing, but taking Chen Su with you, I can't fathom what you're thinking."
Grandmaster Taiwu felt his heart tighten several times while listening to Zhao Li.
Zhao Li, having been scolded, wanted to retort, but she managed to calm herself down. Grandmaster Taiwu didn't want to ask her about the investigation anymore.
Actually, today's task is to call Zhao Li, not to scold her.
"These past few days, you've been with Chen Su, and you must have learned a thing or two."
Taiwu Zhenren asked this question, and the three elders beside him became more attentive.
As the Hall Master of Yunyang Sect, Zhao Li couldn't help but wonder about the deeper meaning behind this question.
"Chen Su is a disciple of Feiying Sect. Their Sect Leader must have taken a liking to him."
"Hall Master, do you want a concise answer or a detailed analysis?" Zhao Li asked in return.
Hearing this, Taiwu Zhenren gave a light hum.
"Let's keep it concise. If I were to listen to your lengthy discourse, I'd be stuck here all day."
Everyone around laughed at this response.
Subsequently, in front of the Hall Masters and elders, Zhao Li shared her thoughts.
"Let me start with a general assessment. This child has an agile mind and a lively spirit. When faced with situations, he can quickly make the right reactions."
Even if he were suddenly ambushed by demons, he should be able to respond swiftly.
Additionally, he is meticulous in his observations, with exceptional eyesight and hearing. He can detect even the most subtle traces.
Most importantly, he has a calm temperament, showing no arrogance.
If other disciples had these abilities, they would have become arrogant long ago.
After so many years on the frontline, in my opinion, Chen Su's ability to deal with demons far surpasses ordinary people.
Not to mention compared to the younger generation of disciples, even I would bow in admiration.
The reconnaissance disciples of Yunyang Sect should really learn from him.
If they can learn even six or seven tenths of his skills, it would be enough to become the pillar of the sect."
This evaluation is truly high, and to exaggerate a bit, it's almost like giving the title of the first reconnaissance disciple to Chen Su.
Zhao Li should have given a concise answer, but she still spoke at length.
Moreover, as she spoke, her eyes seemed to flash with hidden light.
She also looked forward to Chen Su joining Yunyang Sect.
Hearing this, Taiwu Zhenren seemed pleased.
This fully proved his insight as the Sect Leader.
If he weren't more capable than the other elders, how could he have become the Sect Leader?
"Hall Master, if Chen Su can join our Yunyang Sect, we won't have to worry too much about the Earth Demon Plague.
As long as he's there, the frontline's stability is guaranteed.
Our reconnaissance abilities, even if they don't recover to the level of two or three years ago, will definitely improve significantly.
So, please, Hall Master, talk to him.
Feiying Sect will not easily compromise, but if Chen Su is willing, they won't have a choice.
Moreover, we've already given them the Heavenly Blossom Fruit, so we're not being unfair to Feiying Sect."
Upon hearing this, Taiwu Zhenren shook his head.
"If it were that simple, the methods you've thought of, I've already tried them.
Cultivation techniques, resources, favors, all these conditions that should be offered, have already been offered.
But this child, he just doesn't want to come to Yunyang Sect.
And from what I hear, he was neglected in his previous sect, only receiving cultivation resources last year.
I don't understand how he can still be unwilling to leave such a sect.
If he comes to our Yunyang Sect, he will definitely have greater development opportunities."
Taiwu Zhenren still couldn't quite understand.
Why would a sect that once neglected him be unwilling to let him go, even spending the whole day trying to convince him?
