Chapter 388: The Autumn Family? Never Heard of It
Chapter 388: The Autumn Family? Never Heard of It
2024-08-21
The sky darkened.
Everyone in the camp remained, waiting to see what the night would bring.
It was like that night when they were waiting for the results of Su Chen's investigation.
On Commander Qin Wei's desk, there were fourteen investigation reports.
These were the results from the fourteen disciples Su Chen had selected to investigate the Canyon Defense Line.
Now, all they could do was wait.
Wait for news from the Canyon Defense Line about the demon raids tonight.
Each report that came in would be verified.
They would compare the investigation reports from these young people to Ren Yanfei's, to see how much they differed.
Ren Yanfei was also in the camp, but Qin Wei had insisted that he stay.
As they chatted, time passed, and it was soon midnight.
Thanks to Su Chen's precise arrangements over the past five days, the Third Battle Team's defense line had become much more stable.
As a result, the number of demon raids at night had decreased significantly.
It wasn't until three quarters past midnight that the first report of a demon raid came in.
According to the report, Qin Wei compared it to the papers in front of him.
All fourteen disciples had accurately predicted this report.
As time passed, more reports came in.
Ren Yanfei's sweat grew, and so did his anxiety.
Six of these fourteen people had been in his courtyard, and according to him, their abilities were not enough.
Their reports were not accurate, and there was a significant difference.
But this verification showed that the results were much better than he had said.
Most of the demon raids in the reports had been verified.
However, compared to Su Chen, there was still a significant gap.
Perhaps it was due to a lack of confidence, but many of the locations they had reported were quiet throughout the night.
But this result was enough to surprise Qin Wei.
The other disciples were not as bad as Ren Yanfei had said.
In fact, it was likely that many of the reports over the past two years were not provided by Ren Yanfei.
At dawn, after seeing the results, Qin Wei looked at Ren Yanfei, and this time, his face showed a lot of ruthlessness.
"Let's go, Lord Ren, we need to talk in private."
Over the next few days, Qin Wei directly assigned the investigation task of the Third Battle Team to Su Chen.
Compared to Ren Yanfei's attempts to monopolize power, Su Chen's ideas were very different.
But looking at the current state of the Canyon Defense Line, Qin Wei had more appreciation for Su Chen.
This led to Su Chen being more reluctant to take on responsibilities, while Qin Wei wanted to give him more important tasks.
He wanted Su Chen to stay in the Third Battle Team.
Guangdu City was relatively close to the canyon.
If one wanted to enjoy slightly better amenities, the nearest city would be Guangdu City.
In a private room at Fuyuan Restaurant, Qin Wei had invited Su Chen to come and celebrate.
But his main intention was to discuss something with Su Chen again.
He wanted to see if Su Chen could take on the role of Pavilion Master in the battle team.
Qin Wei had his ideas, and Su Chen had his own plans.
After arriving in the Jin Kingdom, the information Su Chen had obtained was from ordinary people and ordinary disciples.
The sources of the information from the common people were unknown, and it was unclear how many times it had been passed on before reaching them.
It was also unclear how much had been deleted or distorted.
Commander Qin Wei was the most powerful warrior Su Chen had met since coming to the Jin Kingdom.
Asking him for information would be more useful and reliable than gathering rumors in a teahouse.
In the private room, many exquisite dishes had been served.
Su Chen was not a glutton, but he had to admit that these dishes were much more delicious than those in the battle team.
As they ate, Su Chen began to steer the conversation towards the topic he was interested in.
"The Autumn Family? I haven't heard much about them," Su Chen replied.
Hearing this, Su Chen felt more certain about the information he had gathered.
The news he had heard earlier seemed to be accurate.
Qin Wei was a Transcendent Realm powerhouse in Great Zhou, one of the top martial artists in the realm.
Although not at the forefront in Jin Kingdom, he was undoubtedly no pushover.
The fact that Qin Wei wasn't very familiar with the Autumn Family further confirmed that they were indeed a hidden power.
Su Chen believed that the Autumn Family's strength was not to be underestimated.
For a Fifth Rank Powerhouse to help deliver a package and nurture such a young Third Rank Powerhouse, the Autumn Family must be formidable.
With these thoughts in mind, Su Chen was even more determined.
"Do you want me to send someone to investigate them?
If the Autumn Family has some strength, it shouldn't take much effort to gather some information," Su Chen suggested.
"Thank you, Commander, but that won't be necessary.
An Autumn Clan elder once helped me, and I've been thinking of a way to repay them.
I don't want to force the issue if they don't want their information revealed," Su Chen politely declined.
The two continued their conversation, with Su Chen bringing up the influence of the Ta He Sect and its standing among the major powers of Jin Kingdom.
Through this discussion, Su Chen gained a clearer understanding of the power dynamics in Jin Kingdom.
When facing the demons and other threats, Jin Kingdom stood united.
However, even a mighty kingdom like Jin had limited resources.
Naturally, conflicts arose among the various powers within the kingdom, some formed organically, and some possibly orchestrated by the Jin royalty.
Currently, Jin Kingdom was divided into two factions, constantly vying for dominance through disputes and competitions.
As Su Chen spoke, he directly brought out the book, Comprehensive Guide to the Great Jin.
He took out the top-ranked sects one by one, asking about their strengths and weaknesses.
What Su Chen was most curious about was the Wulanshan Mansion.
But he didn't want to reveal his personal grudge against them to others.
The more people who knew, the more danger he would face.
By asking about all the sects together, his intentions wouldn't be easily guessed.
"The Ultimate Pleasure of the Five Senses', this sect has some issues with us.
They're not from the same faction as our Ta He Sect.
During past competitions, there were arguments, and some minor grudges formed.
They have a powerful healing technique, which is likely the source of their confidence," Su Chen explained.
"How powerful? Can they regrow limbs? Bring the dead back to life?" Qin Wei asked, amused by Su Chen's serious tone.
"If they have such abilities, who would dare provoke them? They'd be revered by all the top powers," Su Chen nodded in agreement.
"It's just that their healing is exceptionally strong. Sometimes, you might think you've injured them, but in reality, those wounds have little impact on them.
But if the injuries are more severe, they can't recover instantly either," Qin Wei added.
Their conversation was lighthearted, and Su Chen agreed to provide more assistance to the Third Battle Team while still prioritizing his cultivation.
Qin Wei was satisfied with this response, as he didn't want the team's affairs to rely solely on one person.
Su Chen's thoughts aligned perfectly with his, making it even better.
