Chapter 224: Winter is not a peaceful time
In the side hall, when Su Chen heard what Master Shangxuan said, a look of doubt appeared on his face."Linhai Mansion and Yunyang Sect have always been on good terms, how could they actually suspect Linhai Mansion?"
Su Chen was speechless.
Although he didn't need to prove anything to the elders and hall masters of the Yunyang Sect.
But during this gathering in Beijing, he had already shown a lot of strength in front of everyone.
They thought that Lin Haifu had rebelled, and they did not believe that they had any ability.
Seeing the expression on Su Chen's face, Master Shang Xuan took a sip of tea and explained to Su Chen.
“The reaction of Yunyang Sect was actually expected.
First of all, it was unexpected that Situ Sanping and you ended up in a draw.
He has the strength of the initial stage of the sixth rank.
I also know that you already have the seventh-grade perfect strength, which also surprises me.
Naturally, other people found it incredible.
As expected, I also thought that you could at most withstand a few more moves from those geniuses.
When they saw this result, they naturally subconsciously denied its authenticity.
Second, you were once a disciple of the Yunyang Sect.
If they admit that you are really capable, wouldn't it be further proof that the Yunyang Sect has no vision?
It is impossible for Master Taiwu to acknowledge your talent and potential.
And the most important point is that when we are in this position and at this age, it is difficult to admit our mistakes.
Sometimes when you do something wrong, you think about how to cover it up.
The older I get, the less I seem to be able to handle criticism.”
What Master Shangxuan said made sense, but in reality, the top leaders of the Yunyang Sect were not unwilling to admit their mistakes.
But they still don't think they are wrong.
After listening to Master Shangxuan's explanation, Su Chen didn't quite understand the last point.
After all, I have never been old.
But he didn't care what the Yunyang Sect thought. As long as Tiangang City recognized and valued him, that was enough.
Whether the Yunyang Sect looks down on me or not, it can’t affect me much now.
“After the gathering in Beijing, Su Chen, you must pay more attention to everything.
In that competition, there were many people who were dissatisfied with you.
People from Linhai Mansion, like Situ Sanping, really want to fight you again.
Besides, you have raised your profile this time.
However, many people think that you are just a name without any real ability.
These people want to use you to make a name for themselves in the Great Zhou.
Some bad people may even attack and hurt people, so you must be careful. "
Su Chen nodded and understood the situation.
For fame and fortune, people are willing to do anything.
“Don’t pay any attention to any invitations to fight or competitions from the Yunyang Sect.
If you lose to them, your reputation will be ruined.
Even if we win against them, we won't get any benefit.
And in order to defeat you, there's no telling what shady schemes he'll use."
After saying these things, Elder Shangxuan and Su Chen began to talk about the situation on the front line.
Now that winter has arrived and snow has begun, the front-line has begun asking the people to help build fortifications.
As they talked, Master Shangxuan decided to take Su Chen with him to the front line of Tiangang City.
The wilderness facing Tiangang City and the eastern wilderness of Yunyang Sect have completely different terrain and features.
There is basically no dangerous terrain to rely on.
In plain areas, if you want to stop monsters, fortifications are basically a necessary option.
But there is a benefit.
The advancement of this front will bring about a vast expanse of fertile land.
Unlike the Yunyang Sect's advance to the front line, much of the land is too barren and the terrain is rugged.
Ordinary people don't dare to farm on this kind of soil.
After about an hour, the old man and the young man had arrived at the front line. After asking the common people to help build the fortifications, it was obvious that the progress of the entire project was advancing rapidly.
“The sect still arranged for disciples to be stationed at this front line.
Although it is winter and most of the monsters are hiding in the wilderness, you can't say for sure if some blind beasts will come and attack us."
Master Shangxuan frowned and kept thinking about these situations. He was still a little worried.
The fortifications have not been built yet. If a monster really attacks, I don’t know how many people will be injured.
Common people have not practiced martial arts, so even a small demon is enough to take their lives.
Once this happens, I'm afraid we will no longer be able to invite ordinary people to come here to build fortifications.
The slightly better news comes after the snow falls in winter.
The monster's tracks became conspicuous in the snow.
In the past, it took an excellent exploration disciple to find the traces of monsters.
Nowadays anyone with eyes will do.
Su Chen and Master Shang Xuan walked around the periphery together.
As he walked, Su Chen looked around to see if there were any traces of monsters.
[Monster Hunter] With the Destiny activated, it is even easier to find monsters in the snow.
After walking around, Master Shangxuan frowned slightly.
"How is it? Are there any traces left by the evil beast?"
After several successful verifications, Master Shangxuan had great confidence in Su Chen's ability to deal with monsters.
His trustworthiness even exceeds his own.
“There are indeed some traces of monsters, and they are even planning a sneak attack.
But the impact is not significant.
They are all little demons, and these beasts are preparing for a sneak attack at night.
But we will evacuate before Youshi.
Their nighttime attacks do not pose much threat to us.
However, it would be better to add more people to garrison there, as well as some traps and obstacles.
Avoid oversights during the day.
At least it doesn’t seem to be in too much danger now.”
After hearing Su Chen's words, combined with what he had seen.
Master Shangxuan also felt a little comforted.
“Although it is winter, I have not been able to find peace of mind lately.
The Yunyang Sect has also encountered a lot of trouble since the beginning of winter this year.
I have been worried about whether this situation will happen on our front line as well."
Hearing this, Su Chen's expression became slightly serious.
"Hasn't the beast tide in Yunyang Sect stopped?
Could it be that the previous response did not completely quell the beast tide?"
After supporting the Yunyang Sect on the front line, Su Chen personally went into the wilderness to investigate.
There, it was clearly seen that the monsters were no longer gathering.
Could it be that my judgment was wrong?
Master Shangxuan on the side shook his head slightly.
"It's not about the beast tide. The news we got from the Fourth Elder said that the Yunyang Sect seems to have encountered a disaster caused by a demon."
The trouble caused by earth demons is the disaster caused by earth demons.
The surprise attack was ordered by the earth demon behind the scenes.
At the right time, even the demon will come out in person.
“Although it is winter, according to the news we have received.
The situation on the Yunyang Sect’s front line remains difficult.
If the earth demon is doing something behind your back, you can't deal with it in the usual way.
And this is indeed the case. The front line of Yunyang Sect has been harassed recently.
Under the instructions of the earth demon, those monsters even learned to cover their footsteps.
The effect of the snow seems to have disappeared completely, and there are other deceptive qualities as well."
