Chapter 360: The Abnormality Now Is the Complete Lack of Abnormality
This result was somewhat unexpected for Su Chen as well.
Moreover, Master Shang Xuan’s attendant mentioned that the two had already been at the frontline for four days.
During these four days, they had basically not returned.
The frontline defense of the Celestial Capital was not far away. If the situation were particularly urgent, Master Shang Xuan could have returned at night.
However, they had been at the frontline for four days straight.
Transcendent Realm experts generally would not get too close to the wilderness areas unless the situation was urgent.
This would cause unrest in the wilderness due to the powerful aura of the Transcendent Realm martial artists.
In the border regions of the Jin State, only martial artists of the Sixth Rank and below, and a few Fifth Rank martial artists, were stationed.
They would not casually assign Transcendent Realm experts to those areas.
Of course, the Shadow Play Battlefield was an exception.
After receiving the news, Su Chen did not waste too much time. He turned around and headed for the frontline defense of the Celestial Capital.
It was not a long distance, and with his speed increased, he could reach it in a little over two hours.
Along the way, the originally barren land had been entirely cultivated and planted with crops.
The advancement of the frontline by the Celestial Capital had indeed achieved good results.
It seemed like they had only advanced a dozen miles, but the amount of farmland gained was substantial.
Compared to the previous advancement by the Yunyang Sect, the results were much better.
Upon reaching the defense camp, Su Chen asked the disciples resting in the camp about the location of Master Shang Xuan and Mr. Ouyang.
Seeing it was Su Chen, no one hesitated and informed him of Master Shang Xuan and Mr. Ouyang’s location.
They should be near the northeastern side of the defense line.
Now, all the disciples of the Celestial Capital knew Su Chen, and his status as a core disciple had been acknowledged by the sect disciples.
After receiving the information, Su Chen headed northeast.
It was already autumn.
After the onset of autumn, the aggression of the demonic beings would increase significantly compared to summer.
Many crops that ripen once a year were also harvested in autumn.
During the autumn, the major sects would increase the vigilance of the frontline defenses.
On the northeastern side of the defense works, Master Shang Xuan and Mr. Ouyang were indeed patrolling.
Su Chen ran over quickly, and upon hearing some noise, Master Shang Xuan instinctively turned his head.
Upon seeing it was Su Chen, he immediately led Ouyang Chuan down from the defense works.
"You, my child, why are you back so soon? According to the time, it seems you’re several days early, isn’t it?"
Master Shang Xuan’s face carried a faint smile as he asked softly.
"Encountered some trouble, so I came back early."
Upon hearing this, Master Shang Xuan and Mr. Ouyang were both taken aback, and their expressions turned serious.
Su Chen had always handled matters with composure.
He had been in the Celestial Capital for almost two years, and the matters handled by Su Chen had mostly been resolved smoothly.
Even during the two trips to the Yunyang Sect to resolve crises, Su Chen had faced various problems and difficulties without ever mentioning them back at the sect.
Today, for Su Chen to speak to them with a serious expression, it must be a significant matter.
"What happened? Did you get hurt anywhere, my child?"
At this moment, Master Shang Xuan was also very worried.
It was not easy for the Celestial Capital to obtain a talented disciple.
Moreover, Su Chen was a potential successor in his eyes.
Over the past two years, Master Shang Xuan had gradually become familiar with Su Chen.
This young disciple acted steadily and never impulsively.
In various matters, he understood the bigger picture and never handled things recklessly.
In terms of dealing with the demonic threats on the frontline, Su Chen was even more outstanding than their experienced elders.
It was no wonder he was worried.
Hearing Master Shang Xuan’s question, Su Chen shook his head.
"First Elder, in the Shadow Play Battlefield, I caused some trouble.
I seem to have offended the descendant of a major power in the Jin State."
As he spoke, Su Chen took out the booklet left by Jing Bo Immortal.
"In the Shadow Play Battlefield, I found a secret realm and obtained a secret manual from inside.
However, it was seen by the descendant of a major power in the Jin State.
He immediately used a lethal move, intending to kill and rob me."
Upon hearing this, Master Shang Xuan’s brows immediately furrowed.
"I understand what you mean.
Although in the Shadow Play Battlefield, they intended to kill and rob you.
But when it comes to accountability, they will certainly accuse us of trying to kill and rob them."
As he spoke, Master Shang Xuan also pushed the booklet back to Su Chen.
"This is the treasure you found in the Shadow Play Battlefield. Study it yourself first.
The Celestial Capital does not have a rule for submitting items."
Su Chen did not argue over this. What was most important now was the trouble he had encountered.
"Regarding the identity and background of that person, how much do you know?"
"Only heard his companions call him Mo Yuan, but I don’t know his full name.
Other than that, I know very little.
However, he later invited the help of a Transcendent Realm expert, known as Uncle San Lin."
Master Shang Xuan’s brows furrowed tightly, and after some thought, he shook his head.
There were very few Third Rank Unification experts in the Jin State, and they could be counted on one hand.
But Fourth Rank Transcendent Realm martial artists were somewhat more numerous.
Apart from a few Transcendent Realm experts he had met, Master Shang Xuan did not know many of the Transcendent Realm experts in the Jin State.
"I might have caused trouble for the sect.
Would a powerful force in the Jin State take action against the sect because of me?
Would it harm other fellow disciples?"
Regarding Su Chen’s concerns, Master Shang Xuan was much more composed.
"The Sect and its disciples are always interconnected and mutually supportive.
You've dedicated yourself to Celestial Capital, so it's only natural that the Sect would not turn a blind eye to these matters.
Moreover, in this situation, you are in the right."
Master Shang Xuan's words were spoken with sincerity, and he wasn't lying.
As soon as the Jin State's threat arrived, Celestial Capital immediately compromised and pleaded for mercy, and the Sect's morale and spirit were severely affected.
"In the Great Zhou Dynasty, our Celestial Capital is also one of the top-ranked cities.
This Elder here wants to see which Sect from Jin State dares to challenge us.
If they dare to come, this Elder will fight them to the death.
Even if my Transcendence Realm cultivation is not as advanced as theirs, I can still tear off a piece of their skin.
As long as we are in Celestial Capital, I will protect you, even if it costs me my life."
Master Shang Xuan's words were not exaggerated.
If someone dared to come to Celestial Capital and cause trouble for his disciples, he would never compromise.
If Jin State dares to come, then a battle can truly commence.
Let's see which side will be more affected.
In this world, no one is powerful enough to act without restraint and disregard others' opinions.
Even a Third Rank Unification Realm cultivator, if they fall into the path of evil and slaughter indiscriminately, will be attacked by everyone.
Unless a First Rank cultivator suddenly appears, even if all the cultivators from various countries gather together, they would still find it difficult to harm him.
Perhaps only then would they truly have the qualification to act as they please.
"This Elder is not worried about Celestial Capital.
If they want to take advantage of the situation to suppress Celestial Capital, let them come.
As long as they dare to use underhanded means, this Elder has ways to make them suffer equally.
Especially in a situation like this, if they dare to target Celestial Capital, I have my methods.
What this Elder is truly concerned about is your safety, Su Chen."
Seeing that Su Chen didn't seem too worried, he was about to explain when Master Shang Xuan continued with a solemn expression.
"Don't take this lightly, child. If those people really want to target you, they will definitely not pressure you through the Sect.
They will observe from hidden places and secretly attack you.
These are the greatest dangers you face."
Master Shang Xuan had been in charge of Celestial Capital for many years, so he naturally understood the thoughts of major Sects well.
Su Chen also realized that if those people really intended to take revenge on him, he would almost always be in danger.
Clearly, he had almost been killed and robbed by those people, but they were indeed retaliating against him.
In this world, although there is an order, physical strength is still a crucial factor.
"Disciple understands. I will be vigilant and cautious."
After these words, Su Chen asked about the current situation.
Master Shang Xuan hadn't returned to the Sect for quite some time and had been staying at the frontlines.
Just now, Master Shang Xuan had also mentioned the current situation.
What was the situation at the frontlines?
After discussing Su Chen's matter, they brought up the topic of the frontline defenses.
Master Shang Xuan and Mr. Ouyang's expressions remained serious, with a hint of gravity.
After glancing at Mr. Ouyang, he began to talk about Celestial Capital's current situation.
"Before you went to Shadowplain Battlefield, there should have been some signs.
Su Chen, you know that for several months, no demonic beings have disturbed the frontline defenses."
Hearing Mr. Ouyang's words, Su Chen's expression became more solemn.
"Up until recently, there still haven't been any demonic beings disturbing the frontline defenses?
Are there any abnormalities near the frontline defenses?"
This was the first time Su Chen had heard of such a situation.
In the past, at Cloud Yang Sect, after those demonic beings suffered heavy losses, the frontline defenses would be peaceful for a while.
But it would only be peaceful for a short time before the demonic beings would come to sneak attack again.
However, from Mr. Ouyang's words, it seemed that there were no demonic beings at all.
It should be known that autumn had already arrived.
Demonic beings usually acted during autumn, and people's movements between the east and west would decrease, as they would all stay within the city.
Many demonic beings would attack various border regions during autumn.
This was a situation that almost occurred every year in Great Zhou.
But today's tranquility made the high-ranking members of the major Sects at the borders even more worried than in previous years.
With no demonic beings causing disturbances, everyone became even more anxious.
"The abnormality is that there is no abnormality at all. In this month, we haven't even seen a single lesser demon."
Ouyang Chuan smiled helplessly. He had been in Celestial Capital for several decades, and this was also the first time he had encountered such a situation.
It seemed like a good thing, but they were several times more anxious than before.
"Have people been sent to scout in the wilderness?"
Mr. Ouyang nodded.
"We sent a team to scout in the wilderness for two days, but they didn't see any demonic beings either.
In the vast wilderness, they didn't even know which direction to go.
Feeling somewhat anxious, they returned without any results.
Cloud Yang Sect also sent people to carry out scouting missions.
It's been half a month now, and they still haven't returned."
