Chapter 172 The Immortal
Tiangang City will be much more stable this year. Since the front-line defense followed the method given by Su Chen, the entire defense line has become much addition, when Su Chen was on the front line, he also gave many people instructions on how to observe the traces of monsters.
There are many ways that others don’t know about.
Before Su Chen obtained the mission of [Monster Hunting Pioneer], he could only deal with monsters based on the summaries of his predecessors in books.
But monsters are not static, and these beasts will also think of ways to defeat them based on how people respond.
What is written in books has been passed down for thousands of years, but how much of it is still applicable?
After obtaining the mission of [Monster Hunting Pioneer], Su Chen summarized many skills and methods for himself.
More effective than what was previously recorded.
In a short period of time, the disciples of Tiangang City had no problem stabilizing the front line of defense using the methods he taught them.
Most of the disciples in Tiangang City will feel that this year is a very leisurely year.
In previous years, there would only be a continuous period of rest after winter.
There seems to be no news of any monsters infiltrating the front line of defense this year.
Tiangang City has never arranged disciples to go to the rear-line cities to deal with the monsters.
The several cities close to Tiangang City have probably never experienced such peaceful days.
Many cities close to the front line would arrange for one person to stay awake when it was time to rest at night.
Light a candle at the door of the house and just watch over it.
This action is called "keeping safe".
As long as the candlelight burns out, the night will be peaceful.
If it weren't for the fact that there is a lot of fertile land here and the taxes are cheap, the people would have fled to the central cities long ago.
But this year, the people living near Tiangang City experienced a different life.
It has been nearly five months, and it is much more stable than last year.
There were monsters that came to harass us, but they were all small monsters lurking in the surrounding mountains and forests.
The abilities of this little demon are average, and the constables in each city can resist it.
On the front line, there are basically no monsters coming and every day is peaceful.
When Su Chen came back, he also passed through several cities.
At that time, Su Chen also heard someone in the city mentioning his name.
It is because of his help that Tiangang City can have the peace and stability it has today.
After hearing this, Su Chen had a rough idea in his mind.
If nothing unexpected happens, it is Mr. Ouyang and others who are helping me clear my reputation.
It is easy to tarnish your reputation, but it is many times more difficult to cleanse it.
If this word of mouth continues, it will be inefficient.
But at least there is some improvement.
It is not the case that whenever I am mentioned, I am said to be the one who is greedy for credit.
After leaving Mr. Ouyang's courtyard, Su Chen found the attendant of Master Shangxuan and asked him to inform him at an appropriate time that he would come to pay a visit to Master Shangxuan.
Just as he finished speaking, the attendant spoke.
“Senior Brother Su, please come in directly. The Great Elder has already told us before.
If Senior Brother Su comes, there is no need to wait for the call, just go in directly."
Hearing this, Su Chen was a little surprised.
We walked back along the original path and, led by the servants, headed all the way to the garden behind the house.
Although Master Shangxuan is the person with the highest authority in Tiangang City, his courtyard looks rather simple.
In the backyard, besides Master Shangxuan, there are four elders.
Seeing Su Chen, the fourth elder was about to get up and leave, but Master Shangxuan waved his hand.
He motioned the four elders to sit down and talk together.
"We are all family, there is nothing to be shy about."
Master Shangxuan had a smile on his face and motioned Su Chen to sit aside.
When other hall masters come here, they will most likely stand and listen.
Su Chen's current treatment actually made him sit down and talk directly. "About twenty days ago, the monster attacks on our front line began to increase again.
I guess that the Yunyang Sect should have achieved some results.
Now it seems that these speculations are not wrong at all.”
While speaking, Master Shangxuan was also looking at Su Chen.
"It was you, my child, who taught Master Taiwu how to build fortifications on the front line of the Yunyang Sect, right?
The Yunyang Sect has always looked down upon these defensive fortifications, and it is not easy to change this idea now."
“In fact, it didn’t take much talking. After seeing the effect of the obstacles and traps set up by the Flying Eagle Sect, Senior Taiwu’s ideas were quickly changed.
In the past, the Yunyang Sect would often advance the front line, build fortifications, and set up obstacles and traps, which was a waste of resources.
It is normal that they despise the fortifications.
However, Yunyang Sect can only resist the monster's attack through defensive fortifications at the moment. "
When Master Shangxuan heard Su Chen call Master Taiwu "Senior Taiwu", he felt quite comfortable.
The more unfamiliar the name, the better.
At his side, several servants also brought some refreshments.
Master Shangxuan gestured to Su Chen to try the snacks.
"Before you came back, the Yunyang Sect had already sent people to inquire about you.
We should help and support this immortal old man Taiwu with good intentions.
He turned around and wanted to snatch my disciples, he didn't even care about his reputation. "
Everyone in the courtyard was close to him, so Master Shangxuan spoke more freely.
Just start scolding when it’s time to do so.
Hearing this, Su Chen was a little surprised.
“Senior Taiwu probably doesn’t know that I’m a disciple of Tiangang City. I have never revealed my identity.
How could he come here?
"No, that old man Taiwu doesn't know that you are a disciple of our Tiangang City.
They arranged people to go to the Flying Eagle Sect.
He also took out a lot of treasures and said he wanted to exchange a disciple with the Flying Eagle Sect.
Fortunately, I am one step ahead in chess and already knew the Yunyang Sect’s style.
When you see an outstanding disciple, you want to snatch him away. That’s a nice thought.”
After hearing what Master Shangxuan said, Su Chen was still a little surprised.
He had already rejected Master Taiwu before and had clearly stated that he would not go to the Yunyang Sect.
Taoist Taiwu never mentioned it again, and Su Chen thought he had given up the idea.
I didn't expect that they would just put it aside for the time being, and they also arranged for someone to go to the Flying Eagle Sect.
I have already left Yunyang Sect, so how can I go back?
"Didn't this Master Taiwu promise you a lot of benefits and kept telling you how great their Yunyang Sect is?
The richer the resources, the more mysterious the skills.
I'll let you go to Yunyang Sect and arrange everything for you, is that right?"
The fourth elder nearby also joined in the conversation at this moment, mentioning the methods used by Master Taiwu to snatch his disciples.
Hearing this, Su Chen shook his head.
“That day, after I clearly rejected Senior Taiwu’s proposal, he never mentioned asking me to join the Yunyang Sect again.
Afterwards, he gave me some advice on cultivation, and didn’t mention anything else about joining the Yunyang Sect.”
Hearing this, Master Shangxuan seemed even angrier than before.
“This old man is more scheming than before.
He wants you to feel the strength of the Yunyang Sect and see the value of the Yunyang Sect through his guidance."
After cursing for a while, Master Shangxuan couldn't help but laugh again.
"But unfortunately, they were blind and missed the treasure. I will not let them take it back."
