Chapter 73: The Comparison Between Yunyang Sect and Tiangang City
Chapter 73: The Comparison Between Yunyang Sect and Tiangang City
End of April.
The Reconnaissance Disciple trained by Elder Wu, Sun Xue Rong, finally began to undertake their assigned mission.
Although Sun Xue Rong took the lead in training these disciples, several other elders also contributed significantly to the process.
As a result, a sense of unity emerged among them.
The feedback from the Reconnaissance Disciples over the past few days has been significantly improved.
They have made remarkable progress in identifying Demonic Traces and tracking Demonic Creatures.
These Reconnaissance Disciples were initially selected from the elite of the Yunyang Sect.
Many of them were previously Direct Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples.
To encourage them to accept these reconnaissance missions, the Yunyang Sect offered Contribution Points four times more than what Su Chen had received for his previous missions.
With the increased contributions, the number of participants also grew.
The results were visibly improved.
Previously, they would slaughter around twenty Demonic Creatures daily.
But after these Reconnaissance Disciples joined, the number of demons slain daily has surpassed fifty."
Seeing this improvement during the prolonged downturn, the middle and upper ranks of the Yunyang Sect were delighted.
They had forgotten that during Su Chen's time, a single ambush could result in the slaying of forty to fifty demons.
In the main hall of the sect, Grandmaster Taiwu had summoned the elders, and they felt a surge of confidence.
"According to the Reconnaissance Squad's estimation, there are approximately three hundred Demonic Creatures hiding between the sect and the frontline.
With our current Demon Slaying efficiency, we can eliminate most of them within seven days at most.
After that, I will directly manage the Reconnaissance Disciples to ensure that the sect will no longer face issues with information sources."
Elder Wu's words today were indeed full of confidence.
After all, a problem that had plagued the Yunyang Sect for so long was finally about to be resolved.
However, Grandmaster Taiwu, who was seated in the center, had a troubled expression throughout the day.
Even after hearing this good news, his brows remained furrowed.
"Have you been keeping up with the recent developments in Tiangang City?"
Grandmaster Taiwu's sudden question caught the elders off guard.
They had thought that with their achievements, the sect leader would offer some praise.
"Last year, Tiangang City sought our Yunyang Sect's assistance.
Whether it was frontline command or responding within the stronghold,
They even had to request assistance from other martial artists to temporarily resolve those crises.
But do you know the current situation in Tiangang City?"
Grandmaster Taiwu continued speaking, seemingly without expecting a response from the elders.
"The information I received indicates that since late April, the frontline of Tiangang City has become increasingly stable.
The frontline, once plagued by Demonic Creature attacks, suddenly made the demons fear them.
This situation is somewhat similar to what we experienced in the Yunyang Sect.
The reason for such a significant change is said to be the arrival of a disciple skilled in observing Demonic Creatures.
And this disciple's identity is easily traceable; it is none other than Su Chen.
The disciple who left our Yunyang Sect and joined Tiangang City."
Grandmaster Taiwu's gaze swept across the elders.
If he had heard such news in the past, Grandmaster Taiwu would have considered it utterly false and meaningless.
But given the current situation, it's hard not to pay attention to this information.
The Yunyang Sect, after Su Chen's departure, encountered various troubles and difficulties.
Tiangang City, with Su Chen's arrival, has seen its frontline situation stabilize.
This contrast between the two sects, even if Grandmaster Taiwu initially doubted it, has now begun to waver.
Elder Wu and the other four elders, who had reached their positions through their exceptional abilities, paused for a moment. Sun Xue Rong couldn't help but step forward.
"Sect Leader, if you say that this Su Chen has some capabilities and skills, I believe that. He is experienced in tracking down demonic traces and can bring benefits to our sect."
Sun Xue Rong paused, and the other elders nodded in agreement.
Grandmaster Taiwu listened without arguing. His expression remained solemn.
"Whether you believe it or not, the facts are right before your eyes. Over at Tiangang City, they are about to push forward on the frontline. In Great Zhou, it was once said that 'Yunyang has a hundred miles without demons.' But from now on, perhaps it will be 'Tiangang City has a hundred miles without demons.'"
Although Yunyang Sect had temporarily resolved its troubles, it seemed that the demonic creatures near the sect could finally be eliminated. However, Grandmaster Taiwu's mood seemed even worse than before.
Previously, although Yunyang Sect was in a difficult situation with countless troubles, other sects also had their own challenges. But now, Yunyang Sect's problems had not been resolved much. Tiangang City, on the other hand, was getting better and better.
The first sect of Great Zhou, Yunyang Sect, was now lagging behind other sects. Moreover, the current predicament didn't seem like it could be resolved quickly.
After dealing with the demonic creatures in this area, there was still the issue of frontline defense. Could Yunyang Sect's frontline still hold up as it did before? Could these newly trained scout disciples revive the former glory of Yunyang Sect?
At least in Grandmaster Taiwu's opinion, it seemed unlikely.
"Let's not discuss other matters further. Let's quickly resolve the demonic creatures near the sect and then further strengthen the frontline defense. Since we've already had one problem, we can't let it happen again. Yunyang Sect still has its foundations, and once we thoroughly investigate the demonic traces, stabilizing the situation won't be a significant issue."
Although he felt a bit sad, Grandmaster Taiwu still offered encouragement in his words.
Complaining was useless at this point. If the situation in Tiangang City continued to improve, Su Chen's abilities would soon be put to the test.
After the discussion among the upper echelons concluded, everyone left.
Sun Xue Rong returned to her courtyard and sent someone to retrieve the latest intelligence she had received. She had previously arranged for someone to investigate Su Chen's situation, but due to her training of the scout disciples, she hadn't had time to review the returned information.
The letters were brought, and Elder Wu began to understand the current situation.
The letters detailed the impact Su Chen had made in Tiangang City, stating that he was now highly regarded by the upper echelons there, who believed he had made outstanding contributions.
Reading this, Sun Xue Rong couldn't help but frown. She still didn't believe that Su Chen could have such significant influence.
She was more inclined to believe that Su Chen had used some means and took credit for himself.
Continuing to read the letters, it was discovered that Su Chen had gone to Tiangang City to clear his name. He wanted to prove his raw strength and surpass Liu Xingwan.
Although there was no direct connection between winning against Liu Xingwan and Su Chen's reputation for greedily claiming credit, if he could truly defeat Liu Xingwan with his raw strength, those who had slandered Su Chen, claiming that his contributions couldn't surpass Liu Xingwan, would be silenced.
