The harsh criticism startled the young men from all the young disciple who had just walked towards Su Chen was even more at a loss. It was very quiet around, everyone was looking at the elders. While hesitating, Wei Huaifang from Huangyan Sect stepped forward with some apology. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times. It seemed like he was apologizing, but there was no sound. After a while, he finally spoke: "My friend, how did you know that there was an ambush ahead by a demon? In areas where golden demons are active, there shouldn’t be any celestial demons.” When Wei Huaifang said this, there was an apologetic expression on his face. He was begging Su Chen to give them some face. Don't confront them about it. They are all old and don’t want to lose face like this again.
But I am really embarrassed not to admit it. If it weren't for Su Chen's reminder, they would have definitely taken their young disciples and headed straight into the depths of the north. Without Su Chen's reminder, they would have suffered a great loss from the celestial demon's sneak attack. They didn't want to lose face, but they were still grateful to Su Chen in their hearts. The elders of the major sects are not the kind of people who are unreasonable, stupid and blind. They had misjudged Su Chen, so they were wrong. These elders and guards had no intention of repaying kindness with enmity. I just hope Su Chen can give them some face. “It’s true in theory, monsters are extremely sensitive to their territory. Since golden monsters come and go sporadically, there shouldn't be any celestial monsters around. But these celestial demons are very experienced and they go against our ideas. I deliberately brought some golden monsters here to make the seniors relax their vigilance. I happened to see some clues and almost got fooled." After one question and one answer, the young people from each sect understood it. The fact is that what Su Chen said was right. The elders and guards of various sects really encountered a group of celestial demons in front of them! No wonder I was scolded before. When the elders from the major sects heard Su Chen's words, their expressions finally relaxed a little. Looking at Su Chen again, he seemed more pleasing to the eye.
In my heart, I seemed to understand why Qiu Ruoshuang valued this young man. Capable and magnanimous. These old men and middle-aged people rely on their more experience and lessons. In front of Su Chen, he looked down on her and despised her. The disparagement in the words was even said directly in front of others. However, in the face of a real crisis, Su Chen did not add insult to injury. Still give them reminders. The news that they had previously ignored turned out to be their lifeline. “My friend, you are too modest. You are more authoritative than us in dealing with monsters. The so-called discerning eye for talent. Back then, we old bones didn’t see the talent and potential of Qiu Ruoshuang. In the face of her rise, there was all sorts of contempt. Now history is repeating itself, proving once again that we do not have that vision. How can a young man who is valued by Qiu Ruoshuang be bad?" After Wei Huaifang finished speaking, he smiled helplessly. It seemed as if he was regretting his previous words and deeds. At the side, another elder also joined in the conversation, with regret in his tone. “Before we met you, we thought you relied on your handsome looks and sweet words. In order to deceive Qiu Ruoshuang. Not only does it look down on her, it also looks down on you." Before the elder finished speaking, another elder next to him took over with a smile. "Perhaps this handsome appearance is indeed the reason why Qiu Ruoshuang values Su Xiaoyou~" As soon as this joke came out, everyone around burst into laughter. The originally dull atmosphere began to become harmonious. There was a dramatic reversal in the tone in which the elders spoke to Su Chen. Now Wei Huaifang and the others were talking to Su Chen, and their tone was indescribably kind. Several young disciples heard the voices of their elders. I narrowed my eyes unconsciously.
They don't even believe that their elders can speak in such a tone. They were extremely grateful that Su Chen did not pursue them relentlessly and humiliate them. After some polite words, Wei Huaifang continued to ask about the confusion in his heart. In fact, he was not the only one confused. The elders and guards who returned with us were also extremely curious. “Friend Su, we didn’t go far into the wilderness when we encountered a group of demons. We were not surprised when they attacked from behind. For these extremely cunning monsters, sneak attacks from behind are common tactics. We just don't understand. When my friend told us to evacuate to the east, those beasts would stop chasing us. It was exactly as you said. After we retreated eastwards, they really stopped chasing us. We just can’t figure out what the connection is. Why is it that once we move east, we are no longer being pursued? " As Wei Huaifang expressed his confusion, other people around him also came over to join him. Everyone is curious about this. At this moment, the elders from various sects no longer had any doubts about Su Chen. It would have been impossible to escape safely from the group of celestial demons without Su Chen's reminder. “In fact, it was only after I heard some news from Senior Qiu that I thought of some possibilities. Most of these celestial demons’ attacks came from the northwest. They just want to give everyone a false impression. Let us think that their hiding place is on the northwest side or even the west side. To protect what they seek in the northeast direction. Based on this, how could these monsters force you seniors to the east? If they really encounter some problems in the east, it will not be worth it. So I made some guesses. As long as you go east, these monsters will not chase you. What they might do is to cause a bigger incident and divert the people exploring the northeast side." After the explanation, everyone seemed to understand. The elders present thought deeply about it. Looking back, those beasts used this method before. Every time a team went to the northeast to gather information, there were always problems somewhere else.
They even attacked the camp before. Now it seems that it was not the celestial demon who felt that the camp was empty and launched a surprise attack. Instead, it is somewhat similar to the military strategy of "besieging Wei to save Zhao". Raid other teams by attacking their camps. Lead the team heading northeast to explore. Never let everyone's attention be focused on the northeast direction. "Those beasts are so cunning!" Several elders of the sect cursed a few words, and they recognized Su Chen more. Know how it is, and know why it is so. It is obvious that Su Chen's ability to deal with monsters is indeed excellent. Qiu Ruoshuang's recognition and support are facts. "According to what Su Xiaoyou said, our other teams and front-line positions are more vulnerable to attack. Those monsters will attack other areas in order to lure our team to the northeast." Wei Huaifang drew inferences from Su Chen's example and thought of some possibilities based on Su Chen's speculation. Everyone around also agreed. “What the senior said is also what the junior thinks. We will now turn back and stop five miles from the front line, and then wait. Five miles, you seniors will arrive in just over ten breaths. This time there is also a sneak attack from the celestial demon. Then we can surprise them!" After hearing Su Chen's words, everyone present seemed to have more morale. Arranged by Su Chen, everyone headed towards the front line. The distance was controlled at five miles. At this distance, no matter how sensitive the celestial demons were, they could not detect it. After staying for more than an hour, Su Chen frowned. "Dear elders, now is the time to rush to the front line!" Wei Huaifang and his companions observed from here and could not see anything strange. Subconsciously want to deny it. But thinking of Su Chen’s previous performance, Wei Huaifang and others leaped forward directly. It’s close anyway, so we’ll know what it’s like when we go and take a look.
However, Wei Huaifang and his men had just leaped forward and there were still about two miles to go. Suddenly, fireworks were set off from the front line, calling for help. The red fireworks are a request for emergency help. Everyone looked at each other and then looked behind them. The elders did not hesitate any longer and moved faster than before, heading towards the front line immediately. At this moment, a group of celestial demons had just attacked the front line. But they probably didn't realize that they were the ones ambushing others all along. This time, they were ambushed instead. While still fighting with the warriors on the front line, he was suddenly attacked from behind by Wei Huaifang and other powerful warriors in the state of transformation. On the front line, the situation suddenly turned upside down. "Lord Wei, how come you guys came so quickly!" The warriors stationed at the frontline asked loudly with excitement on their faces. When the others saw this reinforcement that came like a god's gift, they also gained confidence and became more emboldened. Seeing this, the group of celestial demons seemed to panic. With the unexpected reinforcements, they were no longer as fearless as before. It seems that celestial demons actually have morale just like humans. Seeing the decline and momentum falling, he wanted to escape. After fighting for a while, Su Chen and a group of young people arrived. It’s not that we can’t keep up the speed, but we can’t take risks by getting too close to the group of celestial demons. There are so many powerful people in the state of transformation present, which is enough to deal with the celestial demon. At this moment, the demon is doomed, and it will be safe to approach him. There were a total of nine celestial demons in the group of demons that came to attack. At this moment, two celestial demons have died and the others are injured. The entire front line of defense and various facilities were destroyed. The aftermath of such a fight between top-notch warriors is enough to destroy a city wall. Fortunately, this is a wilderness and the damage is not that great. The situation became increasingly severe for the demons, and they no longer looked after each other. Some celestial demons began to evacuate on their own, regardless of the formation.
A partial evacuation would naturally cause other celestial demons to fall faster. Soon, nearly four more celestial demons died. Looking at the fleeing celestial demon, elders like Wei Huaifang unconsciously looked towards Su Chen. “My elders, you can chase me now! These celestial demons have no backup, and they did not anticipate the danger today. With injuries on their bodies, they can’t escape fast or far.” Hearing Su Chen's voice, the elders no longer hesitated and started to practice their body movements. Having suffered at the hands of that group of celestial demons before, Wei Huaifang and his men vented all their grievances on these celestial demons. It was already midnight and the sky had already darkened. But these celestial demons could not get rid of Wei Huaifang and the others, and the strong men in the state of transformation were able to lock them down with their eyesight. It was a tiring day, but everyone had a smile on their face. These damaged facilities on the front line of defense were nothing to the huge State of Jin. After packing up, they moved to another place and started to set up the front line again. When dealing with the celestial demon, various defensive measures are of little significance. More importantly, it is to make the warriors stationed on the front line live a little more comfortably. In that case, let’s set up camp somewhere else. During this process, the warriors on the front line of defense saw a strange phenomenon. Many guards and disciples were polite to a young man. He showed concern and caring for the other person's well-being through his conversation. Someone also found some food from somewhere and went to give it to Su Chen. It is hard to imagine that a young disciple can enjoy such treatment. Not long after, one of the elders who went to investigate the situation came back. He also walked to Su Chen first and talked about the situation of chasing the celestial demon. Seeing this scene, the people stationed on the front line were even more dumbfounded. Su Chen also clearly felt that the difference in treatment was too great compared to before. Only those with ability can be respected. This truth is vividly demonstrated here. Around the hour of Yin, Wei Huaifang and his men returned dragging the corpses of several celestial demons.
This was the first time they felt so happy since the demon disaster. The elusive demon was actually ambushed by everyone. This situation was beyond everyone's expectations. Even in anticipation, I never imagined that this situation would happen. Although it is still Yinshi, it is late at night. But at this front, everyone directly lit a bonfire and roasted some meat to enjoy together. This was a celebration ceremony held by the State of Jin after winning the battle against monsters. As a young junior, Su Chen received barbecue from several seniors. No other young disciple has ever received such treatment. Su Chen accepted it very politely, without the arrogant attitude of a young man. He was in the right, but he didn't pursue these elders relentlessly. The key is to be truly capable and yet be so humble. This is truly commendable. It was almost dawn, so everyone took a short rest, leaving some warriors on guard. The visibility is much better during the day, and even if a celestial demon comes to take revenge, it can be discovered quickly. In the big tent, several elders of the sect gathered together and talked about how they dealt with the celestial demon this time. "Mr. Xue, please don't disbelieve me. We were able to provide support so quickly this time, all thanks to Su Chen. We were waiting five miles away just after the hour of Xu yesterday. When your call for help went off, we were less than two miles away from our position." After hearing this, the elder known as Xue Gong still had a look of doubt on his face. Seeing this, another elder continued the conversation. "Mr. Xue, we also want to take the credit for this. But I really don’t have that ability. In addition, you also need to save some face. If we were to make the arrangements, we would definitely arrive at our position early to garrison. It is impossible to win this big victory.” People like them simply have no ability to determine the location of the celestial demon. They may even be deceived by traps set by the celestial demons.
They have no right to compete for this credit. After returning to their respective tents, the elders of the sects immediately called their disciples. Let them mail the letter. The previous plan to have the sect send a few handsome young male disciples was cancelled. See if you can replace her with a young female disciple. (End of this chapter)
