Chapter 328: The Current Situation of Yunyang Sect
Chapter 328: The Current Situation of Yunyang Sect
Among the young disciples in the group, all but Liu Xingwan were asked to leave.
Tai Wu Zhenren rarely allowed the younger generation to accompany him when discussing important sect matters, except for Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan.
The reason these disciples were brought along today was actually to punish Sun Xuerong.
It was intentionally arranged to embarrass her.
"These past few days, this old man has been thinking carefully.
We made a mistake in not noticing Su Chen, but he is likely not the only disciple we overlooked.
Taking this opportunity, the sect will re-examine all disciples below the Inner Sect.
Especially those who are neglected and have not received our attention.
Use this opportunity to pay close attention to them."
As Tai Wu Zhenren spoke, several elders' faces changed slightly.
"Sect Master, all the disciples?"
"Yes, you heard right. All of them. Since you didn't listen carefully, you'll have to make up for it now."
As the number one sect of the Great Zhou, Yunyang Sect has controlled the recruitment of disciples in recent years, but the number of sect members is still quite large.
Having them investigate one by one is indeed...
"Figure it out yourselves, there's no room for negotiation.
Moreover, this old man will also conduct spot checks and inspections.
As the sect's high-ranking officials, these are your responsibilities.
Go and see for yourself how many people in Great Zhou are saying that we, the Yunyang Sect's upper echelon, are blind.
Many disciples are even planning to leave our Yunyang Sect.
Re-examining the talents and potentials of the sect's disciples is also a reason for them to stay.
Otherwise, if the sect is in an uproar and they want to leave, can our Yunyang Sect withstand it?"
After giving these instructions, Tai Wu Zhenren turned his gaze towards Sun Xuerong.
"Fifth Elder, the biggest problem with this matter still falls on you.
You must give an explanation to everyone for today's events.
For the rest of this year, Fifth Elder, you are confined to your courtyard for six months.
All the sect's complex affairs will be handled by you.
The affairs originally managed by several Hall Masters will be handed over to you.
As for Fu Jianyun and Xingwan's cultivation issues, you can temporarily put them aside.
Since you can't even discern their talents and potentials, the help you can give them is very limited.
All the resources you were supposed to receive this year will also be deducted.
Use these resources to try and win over Chen Su."
Facing Tai Wu Zhenren's questioning, Sun Xuerong could only silently accept.
These punishments were not considered severe, as Sun Xuerong was, after all, a powerful figure at the Transformation Stage.
But these punishments did damage her reputation.
A dignified elder, confined to her courtyard, and now she had to deal with these tedious affairs.
After discussing the main issues, Tai Wu Zhenren kept Liu Xingwan and Zhao Li behind.
He wanted to talk to them about Chen Su.
Although they had lost the wager, Tai Wu Zhenren still didn't want to give up on Chen Su.
Yunyang Sect's frontline had encountered some problems.
Furthermore, if Chen Su could come and be cultivated into a Celestial Prodigy.
With three Celestial Prodigies, Yunyang Sect's shaky reputation might recover significantly.
And indeed, starting today, Yunyang Sect's situation was as Tai Wu Zhenren had predicted.
The news that Su Chen's single move surpassed Wen Yuanlang, proving his talent and potential, had reached Yunyang Sect.
Many disciples who had lost faith in themselves now had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Some even received letters from home.
Their elders at home suggested that they leave Yunyang Sect and go to Heaven's Spear City.
Even if they couldn't go to Heaven's Spear City, changing to another sect would be better.
The vast Yunyang Sect might have more than expected disciples with wavering hearts.
At 5 PM, Yunyang Sect immediately announced the news of re-evaluating their disciples' talents and potential.
Everyone had to reassess their talents and potential.
This was the delaying tactic Tai Wu Zhenren had mentioned.
He needed the Yunyang Sect disciples to slow down and not rush to leave the sect.
After calming down and thinking it through, many were actually unwilling to leave.
Aside from this, Tai Wu Zhenren also arranged for a new requirement.
All disciples who wanted to leave had to return the resources provided by the sect for their cultivation.
These resources were those actively given by the Yunyang Sect.
They were not the resources exchanged for one's own contributions.
If they had to return the resources earned through their contributions, the doubts surrounding the Yunyang Sect would likely intensify.
Tai Wu Zhenren only wanted to buy time, preventing these disciples from leaving the Yunyang Sect immediately.
After leaving the side chamber, Zhao Li was immediately surrounded by other hall masters.
Everyone had already heard the news and knew what had happened during the Midyear Competition in the Capital City.
However, these were all secondhand information, and none could compare to the firsthand account of Zhao Li, who had personally experienced it.
In the southern courtyard of the sect, seven hall masters had surrounded Zhao Li.
They could have asked some disciples, but they still wanted to hear the judgment of Zhao Li, a fellow hall master.
The questions they asked were exactly what one would expect.
"The news is indeed true. Wen Yuanlang was defeated in a single move, losing without a shred of suspense.
We couldn't even find an excuse for him.
This Su Chen, his strength is already at the Sixth Stage Beginner, a Sixth Stage Beginner without a doubt."
With just these opening words, Zhao Li silenced everyone present.
"Earlier in the side chamber, the Sect Master placed all the blame on the elders.
But after careful consideration, compared to them, we hall masters have had more interactions with Su Chen.
For those two years, he seemed to have been on the frontlines the entire time.
If we think about it carefully, with so many of us, who among us saw his potential?"
At this moment, Xia Kun had the most unsightly expression.
When Su Chen joined the Tian Gang City, Xia Kun had openly declared in front of so many people that Su Chen was incompetent.
He had belittled Su Chen to the extreme in public.
If not for the Midyear Competition, Tian Gang City might have thought that Xia Kun was trying to stop them from recruiting disciples.
But the Midyear Competition had already exposed the fact that the Yunyang Sect's overall vision was lacking.
Recalling that time, others would definitely think that Xia Kun was even more blind.
"Hall Master Zhao, is there any possibility..."
"No possibility. There were many people present, including the Fifth Elder, a powerful Transcendent Realm cultivator.
If there were any doubts, she would have spoken up then and there.
Don't you all know what kind of person the Fifth Elder is?"
With just a few words, Zhao Li completely shut them down.
The others also fell silent.
Yes, if there were any issues, the Fifth Elder, with her personality, would have stepped forward to make a scene.
Why would she endure and hold it in, feeling stifled and wronged?
"After fighting Wen Yuanlang, Su Chen also consecutively fought with disciples from other sects.
During the Midyear Competition, he won against seven opponents.
Moreover, the way he won was very graceful.
Even the ones we suspected, like Sea Forest Mansion and Situ Sanping, seemed to have a deeper understanding of Su Chen."
Winning against seven opponents indeed made it harder to tell if it was fake.
The Midyear Competition had passed, and various powers seemed to have been influenced in some way.
Many sects, like the Yunyang Sect, began to carefully examine their disciples' talents and potential.
They feared overlooking something.
The unluckiest one was probably the Shen Family.
During the Midyear Competition, they still couldn't see who the Jin Family was getting close to.
They even suspected that their own surveillance had been exposed.
