Chapter 18: Su Chen has some tricks to win people overShang Yan is one of the more capable hall masters in the Yunyang Sect. Many people said that she would be the next elder of Yunyang Sect. After taking over He Chao, Shang Yan immediately made some changes. Start setting traps and ambushes, and attack and deal with the harassing monsters. We don't seek to solve too many problems at once, but we must make the monsters we ambush pay the price. Shang Yan's decision did kill some monsters, but the number was too small. Many traps and ambushes were set, but none of them worked. Some monsters even took this opportunity to run to the rear of the camp. In the territory of Yunyang Sect, groups of monsters began to appear. Many people have now settled in the area from the Yunyang Sect's main gate to the front-line camp.
In the past two years, the people who settled here almost forgot what the monster looked like. Even in the Great Zhou, a saying spread: There are no monsters within a hundred miles of Yunyang. It is said that no monster dares to approach within a hundred miles of Yunyang Sect. But now, this sentence is no longer appropriate. The Yunyang Sect. In the attic, several elders sat in the upper seats, looking at He Chao below. At first, they wanted to hold He Chao accountable. However, the hall master Shang Yan, who went to replace him, still failed to stabilize the situation on the front line. So today, they are not here for accountability. I want to talk to He Chao and discuss why this situation happened on the front line. "Last night, another letter arrived from the front. Some inner sect disciples were injured and the main camp was attacked by a big monster. Fortunately, the big demon has been killed." Fifth Elder Sun Xuerong spoke with a slight frown on her face. “In the past two years, everything on our front line has gone extremely smoothly. Although those monsters were very stupid, they knew to stay away from our camp when they saw it. But what happened recently? It would be fine if there were problems on the front line. Even the main camp was frequently attacked, and some people were abducted by monsters in the camp. Could it be that in just these few months, those beasts have really become smarter?"
Sun Xuerong was a little confused. The Yunyang Sect's operation at the end of summer went so smoothly. Countless great monsters died in it. But now, how long has summer lasted? Those monsters suddenly became more powerful and smarter? Not only Sun Xuerong didn't believe it, but many elders present also didn't believe it. “He Chao, you’ve been on the front line for a month, you should have some ideas. Tell me, what do you think is the reason? But don't tell me it was because you drove away a certain disciple. Please don’t bring up such ridiculous remarks.” Hearing this, He Chao also smiled. “Fifth Elder also heard some people’s gossip. Someone at the front line also mentioned Su Chen’s disciple to me. It seems that they still miss him very much and think that he has made great contributions to the sect." Fifth Elder Sun Xuerong chuckled. “To be honest, I still regret letting Su Chen leave like this. He should be asked to explain in front of all the disciples in the sect how he was greedy for credit and took away the merits. Tell us clearly about all the despicable things you have done, one by one. I didn't expect that there are disciples in the sect who admire him." Sun Xuerong said this, seemingly with a hint of anger. Hearing this, He Chao paused. “As an aside, how did you elders find out that this disciple was greedy for merit before you even arrived at the front line? Is there a disciple who comes to make the first complaint?" Hearing this, Sun Xuerong couldn't help but smile again. "It's because he's stupid and greedy. In the demon-slaying operation at the end of summer, Su Chen's contribution had surpassed Xing Wan's. He must have heard that the disciple with the highest contribution could get a golden soul pill. But how could he, a ninth-grade body-refining disciple, possibly get so many contributions? I talked about this matter with both Xingwan and Jianyun. Jian Yun said it bluntly. If he only had the strength of the ninth level of body refining, he would not be able to gain so many contributions. Could it be that he is better than Jianyun? Then he talked to other disciples and found that many of them had already complained in their hearts.
His habit of greed and robbing credit has long been known to the world." In fact, many people know about these things, and they have been spread in Yunyang Sect for quite a long time. It’s just that He Chao was away from the sect for a while due to some matters, so some information was missed. "Okay, let's get down to business. Tell me what you think of the situation on the front line." He Chao nodded and began to express his opinion. He Chao had already summarized it before coming. He was not going to say anything more about the monsters becoming more cunning and brutal. After all, Fifth Elder Sun Xuerong had just said that she didn’t believe these monsters could change so much in such a short period of time. Of course, He Chao also agreed with this. How could a monster change so much in such a short time? He still believes that these problems arise because there is a problem with the source of information. "Is there something wrong with the source of the information?" “My dear elders, this is the news I received as the frontline commander during this month. It is either a lag or a fallacy. Compared with previous sources of information, there are big problems. The information is full of errors. No matter how we arrange things, it will be in vain. Even if Senior Sister Shang Yan went there, it would be difficult to see any improvement. I was completely in the dark and had no idea where the monster was going, so how could I deal with it?" The elders looked serious, and what they said seemed to make some sense. If there is something wrong with the source of information, it would be like fighting a monster with a blindfold. Of course I will be at a disadvantage. "Immediately write a letter to inform Shang Yan and ask her to focus on the source of the information. He Chao, you should also go to the front line again, and the two of you can work together to find out the problem. Why are there suddenly huge flaws in the source of information? It can't be that it's really because of the disciple who was driven away, right?" He Chao smiled and said, "Fifth Elder, you are joking. I immediately went to the front line to find out the reason as soon as possible. If we sort out the information of the disciples who have been gathering information, the problem should be solved." The elders nodded, He Chao bowed and left the attic.
In the attic, several elders continued to discuss matters. “Fifth Elder, it would be best if we report this Su Chen matter to the sect once more. In addition to being good at grabbing credit, it seems that this disciple also has some means of winning people's hearts. After being gone for so long, there are still people mentioning this child." Hearing this, Fifth Elder Sun Xuerong nodded. “Su Chen was at the frontline at the beginning, deliberately leading others into danger, and then acted as a rescuer himself. With this trick, many people were deceived by him. So some disciples felt grateful to him in their hearts.” The elder who spoke nodded. “It is the fundamental principle of human beings to repay kindness, and it is natural for disciples to be grateful. However, the sect should still expose this kind of behavior. It will also prevent the disciples from being deceived. " After some discussion, the elders dispersed. As for the Yunyang Sect's front line, they soon began to check the source of the information. There was no change in personnel, but the information began to lag behind and become significantly erroneous. There must be a reason behind this. (End of this chapter)
