Chapter 290 Yunyang Sect's Next ArrangementMid April.
Master Taiwu and the Great Elder have returned to the Yunyang Sect.
It would have taken them a few days to reach the capital, but it took Taoist Taiwu and the Yunyang Sect's Grand Elder nearly ten days to get there.
After staying in the capital for a few more days, the group returned.
The news that the Yunyang Sect had killed the earth demon had indeed spread widely, just as Taoist Taiwu had expected.
The common people may not have a deep understanding of how difficult it is to deal with the earth monsters.
However, any warrior from any major sect who has seen an earth demon should understand the difficulty involved.
The Yunyang Sect's originally lost reputation was indeed restored somewhat because of this incident.
Of course, the fame restored by this incident is still limited.
The doubts about the Yunyang Sect can actually be roughly divided into two parts.
One is to question the Yunyang Sect's training of its disciples.
Su Chen was an ordinary person when he was in Yunyang Sect.
It was only after he entered Tiangang City that his talents and potential began to emerge.
This incident caused many people to question the Yunyang Sect.
Questioning whether they have enough vision and ability to discern the talents and potential of their disciples.
The second is to question the decline in the strength of the Yunyang Sect.
After all, the Yunyang Sect has been in trouble since last year.
The front-line defenses retreated, and even asked all the major sects to come to the rescue.
As the number one sect in the Great Zhou, their performance last year was really bad.
In the past, there were no monsters within a hundred miles of Yunyang, but now even the territory of the Yunyang Sect has to be watched out for.
The slaying of the earth demon this time can at most prove that the Yunyang Sect is still quite strong.
There are still many people who question the Yunyang Sect's ability to train disciples.
But for the Yunyang Sect, they had a good harvest this time.
At least it has begun to reverse the reputation of the entire sect.
It was not as one-sided criticism of the Yunyang Sect as at the beginning.
The side hall of Yunyang Sect.
After Master Taiwu and the Great Elder came back, they gathered a lot of people together.
Tell everyone everything that happened this time.
At the same time, everyone was asked to report on other affairs of the Yunyang Sect.
At the instruction of Master Taiwu, the Great Elder began to narrate the journey.
Overall, it's self-praise.
What they said was all about how useful Master Taiwu's arrangement this time was.
The cities we passed by caused a huge sensation.
After explaining the situation for a while, the Great Elder gave a final summary.
“In fact, if it weren’t for the secret collusion between Linhai Mansion and Tiangang City, Situ Sanping would have deliberately lost to Su Chen in the competition.
Our Yunyang Sect should have completely stood firm by slaying the earth demon.
It’s a pity that because of that match, many people still doubt us.”
The Great Elder summarized the sect’s current situation, and Master Taiwu also nodded.
As the sect leader, he also knew the current situation.
The defeat of Linhai Mansion at that time did have a huge impact on Yunyang Sect.
While hesitating, Master Taiwu seemed to have thought of something.
“I heard that before Situ Sanping and Su Chen fought, they had set some stakes.
Situ Sanping said that he failed to defeat Su Chen, so he gave up all his training resources this year.
It has been a year now. If nothing unexpected happens, Tiangang City should have given up on asking for it, right?"
Taoist Taiwu believed that there was collusion between Tiangang City and Linhai Mansion.
Before the competition, the stakes are mentioned very loudly, making it seem like the two sides are really competing and fighting each other.
After achieving the goal, it will definitely be over. In the eyes of Master Taiwu, he felt that he had a pair of wise eyes and saw through too much.
However, upon hearing his sect leader's words, the hall master who was in charge of information and intelligence was a little hesitant.
He saw Master Taiwu looking at him.
He looked around and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Master, according to the information we received, it seems that Tiangang City has not given up its claim."
The hall master paused, looked at the faces of the elders, and then continued speaking.
“The information we got is that the Linhai Mansion is unwilling to give it and has been looking for excuses.
Play some word games in front of Tiangang City.
The Linhai Mansion announced to the public that it would only give Situ Sanping a few bottles of ordinary elixirs this year, and the rest had been deducted because of Situ Sanping's inadequate performance.
So even if I give up all my cultivation resources, I will only have a few bottles of elixirs."
Hearing this, Sun Xuerong on the side snorted coldly.
"I just made it for everyone to see. Once it's done, more people will naturally believe in the competition at that time."
The hall master who was speaking also nodded, but he had not finished his words.
“In fact, we had speculated this way before. If we make a fuss like this, it will turn a big thing into a small one and a small thing into nothing.
But Tiangang City seemed to be holding on to this matter and did not give Linhai Mansion any face at all.
They even arranged people to guard outside Lin Hai's mansion and shout every day.
Something that originally wouldn't have had much of an impact has now become known to everyone.
This incident should have had a significant impact on Linhai Mansion, and now many places in Da Zhou have heard of it.
To put it bluntly, it is a complete loss of face.
I actually can’t quite understand it. It feels like Tiangang City didn’t give Lin Haifu any way out.”
After hearing this, even Sun Xuerong couldn't find any suitable reason to explain.
If the two sides collude with each other, will they do such a cruel thing?
If things continue like this, the Linhai Mansion will lose all its face.
“Let’s not worry about this matter for now. Perhaps this is also the plan of Linhai Mansion and Tiangang City.
In this way, more people believe that there is no connection between them.
The suspicion towards our Yunyang Sect will only intensify.”
After saying this, Master Taiwu also changed the subject.
He looked at Zhao Li in the crowd and asked.
Apart from the reputation of the Yunyang Sect, this matter was what concerned him the most.
"Master Zhao, when you and Xing Wan went to the Flying Eagle Sect, did you see Chen Su?"
Hearing Master Taiwu's question, Zhao Li frowned and shook her head repeatedly.
"Xing Wan and I arrived at the Flying Eagle Sect and stayed there for more than two days, but we still didn't see Chen Su.
Xing Wan even searched secretly throughout their entire sect.
But in the end, we still didn’t find any clues.”
Hearing this, Master Taiwu also sighed.
“The Flying Eagle Sect must have known that we wanted to snatch Chen Su, and they should have made arrangements long ago.
In addition, our Yunyang Sect’s attitude towards him before he ascended the Yuntai.
Not only does the Flying Eagle Sect not want him to see us, even Chen Su himself probably doesn’t want to talk to us.”
As he spoke, Master Taiwu also looked helpless.
"Forget it, we'll talk about Chen Su's matter later.
With his talent and potential, it is impossible for him to remain unknown in the Great Zhou.
Such talent has been seen in our Yunyang Sect.
Chen Su can't stay in the Flying Eagle Sect and will definitely leave.
However, we have to be careful that Tiangang City rushes to grab it before us."
Speaking of this, Taoist Taiwu asked Sun Xuerong to call the top disciples of Yunyang Sect to the side hall.
He had a few points to make about the mid-year competition in the capital.
