Chapter 69: Grandmaster Taiwu's Scolding
Chapter 69: Grandmaster Taiwu's Scolding
It was almost 3 PM, and Mr. Ouyang Chuan had said almost everything he wanted to say.
Before dismissing the group, he seemed to have remembered something.
"By the way, after we return to Tiangang City, if you have time, go and guide the disciples under Mr. Ji Sheng."
Mr. Ouyang Chuan continued, "Mr. Ji Sheng didn't bring them out for training, and if they go to the front lines in the future, they will lack experience."
"Since we're in Tiangang City, let's help him out."
Thinking of what Su Chen had said before, Mr. Ouyang Chuan began to reflect on himself.
Perhaps there were many things he hadn't done right in the past, and his judgment wasn't as accurate as he had imagined.
In his heart, Mr. Ouyang Chuan was also planning, wondering if he could ask for Su Chen to come back.
Mr. Ji Sheng was a laid-back person with an overinflated ego, and he didn't want to take these students for cultivation.
It might not be too difficult to go to him and ask for Su Chen back.
Mr. Ouyang Chuan was making plans and even arranging things for Su Chen.
Thinking this, Mr. Ouyang Chuan returned to his tent and took out a cultivation technique manual from inside.
Previously, in the wilderness, he had discovered that Su Chen's body technique was rather average.
It seemed that he hadn't cultivated any body technique-related secret manuals.
Immediately, he arranged for someone to deliver the manual to Su Chen.
Meanwhile, Jin Yue and Ruan Ting had both been settled in the rear camp tents to rest.
Sitting on the bed, Jin Yue asked someone to bring her paper and pen, as she wanted to write a letter home.
These matters would likely reach the Jin family soon, and if she didn't inform them herself, it would only cause more worry.
In the letter, after reporting her safety, she specifically mentioned Su Chen saving her.
As she wrote, she muttered to herself, "Jiang'an City, if my family isn't well-off, please ask Father to help with funding."
Yunyang Sect:
During this period, the issues in the central region had not been resolved.
Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan had both taken action, but there weren't any particularly good results.
In fact, recently, not only the disciples but even the Hall Masters of the sect were involved in searching for the demonic creatures' traces.
After personally going to the front lines, they finally understood the difficulties involved.
Even the smaller demons were hard to find.
Once they hid, it was difficult to discover them even when passing by their side.
Moreover, the demonic creatures were more vigilant towards those martial artists with powerful auras, noticing them from a distance.
Originally, they thought that withdrawing the defensive line would stabilize the situation.
But in the current circumstances, the Yunyang Sect couldn't even the demons near the sect could be cleared.
The outskirts of the Yunyang Sect, compared to Tiangang City, were more mountainous and rugged due to the forests.
However, as the number one sect of the Great Zhou, they shouldn't be unable to resolve the situation near their own sect.
In Grandmaster Taiwu's courtyard, the five elders were summoned once again.
The Yunyang Sect's predicament had persisted for a long time, and the elders' trust in the sect had greatly diminished.
Regarding the situation on the front lines and the demon slaying campaign, Grandmaster Taiwu had secretly arranged for others to gather information.
The news he received made him feel that the Yunyang Sect's problem was very serious.
"Regarding the demon extermination campaign the other day, I've received the reports from the lower ranks.
This area between the sect and the front lines should have been an easy encirclement, and it should have been resolved with ease.
But look at the performance during the demon slaying.
The demons didn't suffer many casualties, but instead, the sect's disciples fell into the encirclement of those demonic creatures."
Grandmaster Taiwu's face turned somber.
The number one sect of the Great Zhou, they never expected such a performance.
The Third Elder slowly stood up beside him, as this matter was under his responsibility, and he needed to speak up.
"These demons are far more cunning than before. When they encounter our strong cultivators, they choose to hide and avoid confrontation. But when they encounter younger disciples, they launch surprise attacks."
Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Taiwu let out a cold harrumph. "Demons have always been like this. When facing powerful cultivators, they naturally won't rush to their deaths. But the key issue here is not that; it's that our sect is unable to determine the whereabouts of these demons."
Grandmaster Taiwu glanced at the other elders, his expression still stern. "Recently, I've been looking into a disciple named Su Chen. Within our Yunyang Sect, he seems to have gained some fame. I sought out many disciples and personally questioned them about their opinions of Su Chen. The results were quite unexpected. Among the disciples on the front lines, many spoke highly of Su Chen, believing he has genuine talent. However, the team leaders and squad leaders, their evaluations of Su Chen were mostly derogatory. In other words, most of the disciples who accused Su Chen of stealing credit are those who don't go deep into the front lines."
"This result is indeed intriguing," Grandmaster Taiwu added, his gaze seemingly chilling the entire room.
The elders exchanged glances, knowing that their sect leader was displeased. When the sect was thriving, many issues could be swept under the rug. But once difficulties arose, these problems would undoubtedly be held accountable.
"Do you know where this Su Chen is now?"
"Tiangang City," the Second Elder replied.
Hearing the Second Elder's response, Grandmaster Taiwu let out another soft harrumph. "I've heard that Su Chen has been performing quite well in Tiangang City. He even emerged as the champion in the New Disciples' Martial Competition. Of course, this achievement isn't significant. There are too many variables in these competitions for new disciples."
Grandmaster Taiwu paused, his eyes scanning the elders once more. "Upon learning this news, I was somewhat angered. But what truly infuriates me is your lack of understanding of your own disciples' capabilities. This Su Chen, during the summer cleanup, contributed more than Xing Wan. His actions of stealing credit can be confirmed. But most of the other information you elders have about Su Chen is erroneous. Have you elders looked into his abilities in tracking down demonic traces? Even if you want to expel him, have you considered who will replace him?"
Grandmaster Taiwu had grown tired of his continuous questioning.
Elder Wu, sensing the moment, spoke up. "The sect's newly trained reconnaissance disciples are showing promising results. Within half a month, they should be ready to support the others on the front lines."
"Good. Then let's wait and see. Our Yunyang Sect's recent performance has already spread throughout the Great Zhou. Even the Emperor has sent inquiries, asking if our sect is facing any troubles. Within a month, no matter what methods we use, we must eradicate all the demons near our sect."
After giving his instructions, Grandmaster Taiwu waved his hand, signaling for them to leave quickly.
Recently, Elder Wu's daughter, Sun Xue Rong, had also been inquiring about Su Chen.
Recalling Su Chen's past situation, she still had her doubts. It was unlikely for a single disciple to cause such a significant problem for the sect. But for now, she couldn't find any other reason, so she could only try to delve deeper into the matter.
