Chapter 57: I Finally Understand Your Situation, Junior Brother Su
Chapter 57: I Finally Understand Your Situation, Junior Brother Su
【Demon Hunter Pioneer】's Heavenly Will had already been activated and promoted to 【Demon Hunter Expert】.
Now, he could identify the traces left behind, and they all belonged to certain demonic creatures.
There were traces left by a Golden Demon, without a doubt.
Su Chen's expression grew solemn as he shared this information with Senior Brother Wu Yi and Senior Sister Yao Xiaoyu.
A Great Demon's ambush could easily lead to the demise of disciples.
If a Golden Demon successfully ambushed them, it might cause a significant incident.
"I've heard that some demonic creatures, when their strength reaches a bottleneck, will attempt to devour cultivators' bodies to break through their own bottlenecks."
Above the Golden Demons, they rarely initiate attacks on the defensive lines of major sects.
But now, with the appearance of Golden Demon traces, and judging by the traces, it was highly likely not an ordinary Golden Demon.
It was even possible that it was a Golden Demon on the verge of becoming an Earth Demon."
Su Chen's words made Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu, standing beside him, turn more serious.
A Golden Demon on the verge of becoming an Earth Demon was no laughing matter.
"I'm just speculating. Although I can identify the traces of a Golden Demon, I'm not entirely certain about its strength."
Su Chen didn't make his statement too absolute.
However, Senior Brother Wu Yi had already taken these words to heart.
"Junior Brother Su's speculations have rarely been wrong for so long.
If you're warning us about the Golden Demon's formidable strength, it's probably accurate."
Yao Xiaoyu, standing nearby, nodded in agreement.
Their trust in Su Chen had reached a new level due to his numerous successful predictions.
Setting aside the past, just look at this time.
Before Su Chen arrived, what was their situation like? But after Su Chen came to help, how did things change?
Previously, the demonic creatures had treated the squad led by Senior Brother Wu Yi as easy targets.
But now, everyone started to avoid that area.
After confirming the presence of Golden Demon traces, Su Chen, Wu Yi, and Yao Xiaoyu decided to find Gong Zhiyun and inform her about this matter.
It was already approaching the hour of the Rooster, and darkness was about to fall.
As the team leader, Gong Zhiyun was currently making arrangements for the night's defensive duties.
When she saw Wu Yi bringing Su Chen and Yao Xiaoyu, a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Didn't a demon slayer with strength comparable to Liu Xingwan just arrive?
What's the matter? Are you still unable to hold back the demonic creatures and seeking reinforcements?
Unfortunately, the number of demonic creatures on our defensive line has also gradually increased recently.
Go seek assistance from the senior brothers and sisters on other defensive lines; I can't help you."
After Gong Zhiyun finished speaking, she waved her hand, intending to dismiss the three of them.
However, Wu Yi took a step forward and blocked Gong Zhiyun.
Before she could speak, Wu Yi spoke first.
"Senior Sister Gong Zhiyun, let me finish. We're not here to ask for reinforcements but to reinforce your defensive line.
Junior Brother Su excels at observing demonic creature traces, and as we passed by, he discovered Golden Demon traces on your defensive line.
Moreover, this Golden Demon's strength is quite formidable."
Wu Yi paused, noticing Gong Zhiyun's nonchalant expression, which made him even more concerned.
"Gong Zhiyun, I'm not joking with you.
You should know what consequences a formidable Golden Demon's ambush could bring.
Even if you can protect yourself with your Seventh Rank Valley Embrace Realm strength, what about the others?
Can they keep their lives safe from a Golden Demon's ambush?"
As Wu Yi spoke these words, the surrounding disciples could sense his seriousness.
However, Gong Zhiyun remained calm and composed.
"To put it simply, I've figured it out.
You came to my defensive line to seek credit for yourselves, right?
Under the pretense of the Golden Demon's appearance, he's here to gain some merit on our defense line?
Your fellow junior brother Su really has the ability to observe the Golden Demon's traces. The Yunyang Sect should have worshipped him by now.
Junior Brother Wu, it's your choice to be deceived by him.
Just don't drag us into this."
Gong Zhiyun's words left Wu Yi so speechless with anger.
"Who's stealing your merit?
Do we lack your small contribution?
A friendly reminder, but is it necessary to think so maliciously of us?"
Wu Yi was a bit angry, his tone completely different from his previous calmness.
But Gong Zhiyun still had a faint smile, occasionally glancing at Su Chen beside her.
"A friendly reminder?
Then how about a bet?
You say a Golden Demon will come to our defense line, and we'll bet on whether it actually shows up.
I've heard that your Junior Brother Su is always stubborn, insisting that he never sought credit or took credit in the Yunyang Sect.
If the Golden Demon doesn't appear, then let your Junior Brother Su admit to his greed for credit in front of everyone.
How about it? Dare you bet?"
Hearing these words, Wu Yi had already turned around, preparing to leave with Su Chen and Yao Xiaoyu.
"Unreasonable, Junior Brother Su's friendly reminder is twisted into a demand and restriction for him.
Why don't you say that if our reminder is accurate, what will you do?"
Gong Zhiyun's face remained as calm as before.
"What else can I do? If his reminder is accurate, I'll give him the credit he deserves.
Your Junior Brother Su, isn't he fond of seeking credit?
We'll give him some credit, which should fulfill his wish."
Hearing these words, Wu Yi's breathing became rapid with anger.
Clearly, it was a well-intentioned help, but Gong Zhiyun twisted it.
Wu Yi walked ahead, leaving quickly, and even Su Chen and Yao Xiaoyu had to jog to keep up with him.
It wasn't until they returned to their defense line that Wu Yi slowed down.
"Now I understand the situation you're in, Junior Brother Su. Talking to these people, they twist your words.
I used to think Gong Zhiyun was a good person, and I spoke well of her.
How she's acting today!"
As Wu Yi spoke, Yao Xiaoyu beside him nodded in agreement.
Both seemed angry, but Su Chen was much calmer, a smile on his face.
"Since they don't believe us, let it be. Anyway, if something happens, it's their own fault.
If they lose their lives or get injured, it's their own doing."
Wu Yi spoke angrily, seemingly unwilling to get involved anymore.
But Su Chen shook his head slightly.
If Gong Zhiyun and the others were injured, it would be fine, but if their defense line had problems and demons infiltrated...
Then the Great Zhou Kingdom's citizens would suffer, with many families facing destruction.
His own mother and younger sister were also in the rear of Great Zhou, who knew if it would affect Jiang'an City.
Thinking of this, Su Chen spoke to the two senior brothers and sisters.
"For these three days, please trouble Senior Brother Wu and Senior Sister Yao to go and assist by guarding the neighboring defense line.
The Golden Demon's sneak attack, and their strength is already insufficient.
And with this level of negligence and casualness, something major might happen."
Seeing that they still wanted to say something, Su Chen waved his hand.
"I won't go with you to avoid provoking their resistance.
If Senior Brother and Sister encounter a situation, light the signal fireworks.
We who are resting will immediately respond."
