Chapter 93: Three Elders, Heading to the Yunyang Sect's Frontline
Chapter 93: Three Elders, Heading to the Yunyang Sect's Frontline
Within the side hall, Ji Sheng's smile had lost its previous naturalness.
He had always put on an indifferent facade, but today, it seemed he couldn't maintain it any longer.
He probably never expected to be criticized by so many instructors.
Seeing the unanimous opinion among the instructors, the Great Elder, seated in the center, nodded.
The Third Elder, sitting beside him, also nodded.
"Regarding Su Chen, it seems your opinions are quite consistent.
In that case, it's decided. From now on, Su Chen's treatment will follow the arrangements of a direct disciple.
As for his instructor..."
The Third Elder paused for a moment, his gaze shifting to the Upper Proclamation Master, the Great Elder, beside him.
They waited for the Upper Proclamation Master to make the arrangements.
Direct disciples, in name, were the disciples of the elders.
However, the elders didn't have the time or energy to constantly attend to their disciples.
In Tiangang City, the elders usually only provided guidance.
The usual instruction was typically handled by designated instructors.
Su Chen's original instructor was Ji Sheng, and in the past, the original instructor would continue to guide and elevate the disciple's cultivation.
But now, it was clear that Ji Sheng was unsuitable.
Would he sincerely guide Su Chen with that attitude?
Seeing this, the Upper Proclamation Master slightly nodded, indicating that he would make the arrangements himself.
"Since the beginning of spring, our Tiangang City's frontline has been completely transformed.
At first, I didn't quite believe that Su Chen could bring so many changes to the sect.
But the feedback from the various defense lines on the frontline all mentioned the contributions of this child, Su Chen.
For a disciple with such capabilities, the sect should indeed pay more attention and give more focus.
Actually, no matter what result you all discuss today, I will give Su Chen the attention he deserves."
After the Upper Proclamation Master finished speaking, he paused for a moment, his gaze shifting to Ji Sheng beside him.
"After this, Ouyang Chuan will be responsible for Su Chen's instruction.
The others are right, Ji Sheng. You always find fault with everything.
No one can meet your standards.
Then go and find a suitable disciple yourself, and see if you can cultivate a top-notch disciple."
Hearing the Upper Proclamation Master's words, Ji Sheng abruptly stood up.
His previously carefree demeanor seemed to have turned more serious.
"Alright, since we've spoken openly, I'll go and find a disciple myself.
If you want to cultivate mediocre talents, go ahead.
But when I cultivate a top-notch disciple, I ask that you transfer all the resources from those mediocre talents to me."
With these words, Ji Sheng turned and left the side hall.
Watching his departing figure, the Second Elder frowned.
"Great Elder, it's because you've spoiled him that he dares to act so recklessly."
Hearing this, the Upper Proclamation Master could only sigh. He didn't refute these words.
Ji Sheng was once his direct disciple.
In terms of talent and potential, Ji Sheng was considered an outstanding disciple of the previous generation.
His status was comparable to the current importance given to Gu Feng.
However, compared to Gu Feng, everyone still felt that Ji Sheng fell short.
His current strength had reached the Fifth Stage Snow Essence Realm.
In terms of cultivation strength, Ji Sheng was still considered a genius.
But he was too lazy and too arrogant.
If not for his attitude and accomplishments, Ji Sheng could have become the next elder of Tiangang City.
After the arrangements were made, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Upon receiving the news, Ouyang Chuan headed towards Su Chen's residence.
Only after receiving the treatment of a direct disciple could one truly receive the sect's cultivation.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, most sects didn't strictly restrict their ordinary disciples.
After all, many disciples wanted to obtain resources, and they had to work hard and earn contributions to exchange for them.
For ordinary disciples, most sects naturally didn't impose many restrictions.
This was also why Su Chen had left the Yunyang Sect so easily back then.
In the small courtyard, upon seeing Mr. Ouyang arrive, Su Chen immediately brewed a pot of clear tea.
Regarding Ji Sheng's matter, Ouyang Chuan thought for a moment but didn't mention it to Su Chen.
Instead, he mainly talked to Su Chen about the sect's investment in resources for cultivation and the subsequent related cultivation guidance and experience.
After finishing the main topic, the two of them also chatted about some trivial matters.
Su Chen asked a question that had been puzzling him for a long time:
"Why is it that I've never seen the city lord come for various sect matters, not even once?"
Tiangang City naturally had a city lord, and Su Chen had also heard of him.
Hearing this, Ouyang Chuan was also taken aback for a moment.
"Didn't anyone tell you about these things? In our Tiangang City, sect affairs and city affairs are completely separate.
City trade and various city matters are all managed by the city lord's mansion.
The sect's affairs are not at all involved with the city lord's mansion.
Only for some major matters will the city lord come to participate."
Hearing this, Su Chen slowly nodded.
"So the city lord of Tiangang City is the Great Elder."
Ouyang Chuan nodded:
"Our structure is completely different from the Yunyang Sect, and we haven't established a separate position for the sect leader.
Ji Sheng is indeed just an instructor, but it feels like he doesn't teach anything."
Yunyang Sect.
After receiving news from the frontline, the Great Elder, the Third Elder, and the Fifth Elder all rushed to the frontline together.
During these days, the Fifth Elder, Sun Xuerong, received various complaints almost every day.
The content of the complaints all came from the scout disciples she was cultivating.
They didn't follow the arrangements and were very passive in carrying out tasks on the frontline.
These complaints piled up on her, making her feel annoyed and giving her a headache.
Many times, she also wanted to ask.
Why was it that everything was fine before, the frontline was stable, and it was even steadily advancing forward? Before she could finish dealing with the others' complaints, even worse news came from the frontline.
It was still about the scout disciples under her command.
Upon receiving the news, the three elders immediately headed to the frontline.
Around noon, the three elders arrived at the frontline camp.
Xia Kun, the camp leader, came with a frown to report the current situation.
"It was a fully-cultivated Golden Demon that launched a sneak attack.
Five people were scouting in the surrounding area, one died, and three were injured.
Only one person escaped quickly and wasn't seriously injured.
The injuries of the other three are quite severe, and their bodies are already maimed."
At this moment, the complaints about the scout disciples seemed to have disappeared on the frontline.
These scout disciples were already very lax, only patrolling once a day.
But even with just one patrol, they still encountered such danger.
The Yunyang Sect disciples passing by all lowered their heads and wore grim expressions.
Upon noticing the three elders, these Yunyang Sect disciples all avoided them and hid.
With one death and three injuries, the number of scout disciples was once again insufficient.
No one wanted to get involved with the elders, fearing they would be called upon and assigned to become scout disciples.
Led by Xia Kun, the three elders headed to other tents.
Three people were being treated for their injuries by physicians; two had broken legs, and one had their right hand severed.
Seeing this tragic scene, the three elders' faces turned extremely solemn.
"Where is the deceased disciple being kept now?"
"That Golden Demon bit him to death and dragged him into the wilderness."
