Chapter 63: Question from Master TaiwuMonsters are difficult to deal with, often not because of how powerful they are. The key is that they are good at hiding. The sense of smell, vision, and hearing are much stronger than those of ordinary people. At the same time, it also has excellent night vision capabilities. With such capabilities, the difficulty of finding them is often far greater than the difficulty of eliminating them. This is why all countries are still suffering from the plague of demons today. Feeling that they are not strong enough, those monsters will only choose to launch sneak attacks and will not fight anyone head-on. The results of the past two years have led the Yunyang Sect to misjudge the monster. From the bottom to the top, everyone looked down on the monster. Before Su Chen left, many people even said that those monsters were stupid.
It's easy to ambush and kill them. But in fact, without Su Chen providing the traces of those monsters, how could it be so easy? Right now, cleaning up the area between the defense line and the Yunyang Sect is giving them a headache. The disciples of Yunyang Sect are now complaining. The sect's hall master and elders were bored every day. In the side hall, the five elders have arrived. The sect leader, Master Taiwu, who was sitting in the middle, had an unsightly expression on his face. In the past two years, everything in the Yunyang Sect was in perfect order, and matters on the front line were going smoothly. "It's almost been a month, and it seems that we haven't even cleared out all the monsters near the sect?" Taoist Taiwu looked towards the third elder. The tone was light, but the blame was very obvious. “In previous conversations, the elders often mentioned that the sect’s strength has significantly improved in the past two years. There has been obvious progress in the ability to deal with monsters. Why does it seem like there is no progress, but rather regression?" Taoist Taiwu glanced at the few people. "Now that it's like this, you have to give me a reason as to why this happened." As the person responsible for this clearing operation, the third elder frowned and slowly stood up. “We may have misjudged those monsters. During this period of time, the sect disciples have actually tried their best to kill the monsters.
But it is easy to kill monsters, but it is difficult to find them." The Third Elder spoke, and the description of "very difficult" made Master Taiwu frown even more. "If I remember correctly, the group of exploration disciples trained by the Fifth Elder went to cooperate in the monster hunt five days ago?" Hearing his sect leader's question, the Third Elder glanced at the Fifth Elder, then turned around and replied. "The detection ability of those disciples is still not satisfactory. The information about the traces and movements of monsters is often delayed. By the time we got there, the monster had already disappeared and no one knew where it was hiding." The third elder didn't want to take all the responsibility on himself. When it is time to share responsibilities, of course we have to share them. But at the moment, Master Taiwu does not want to worry about who is responsible and who bears the responsibility. What he wants is to solve the problem and restore the previous order as soon as possible. “Did Jianyun and Xingwan also perform poorly in the demon-slaying operation? I looked at the list they reported, and the number of monsters they kill every day is very small." Hearing this, the fifth elder Sun Xuerong at the side quickly spoke up to help her good disciple explain. “The abilities of the scout disciples trained by the sect are indeed not enough. The information they provided was too inaccurate and too delayed. Jian Yun and his men killed fewer monsters, so we can’t blame them.” When talking about Fu Jianyun, the fifth elder made various excuses for him. If it were in the past, Master Taiwu would have been too lazy to delve into it. But now, the Yunyang Sect has exposed various difficulties, and he has no choice but to investigate further. "During the clearing operation last year, Jianyun and Xingwan killed more monsters than anyone else. According to what the fifth elder meant, the responsibility does not lie with them, and neither should they receive the lion's share of the credit. Why did they contribute so much more to the cleanup in late summer last year than others? When there is credit, they are the main force, and when there is responsibility, they cannot be blamed. do you mean this? " There was some questioning in Master Taiwu's words. "If all the elders govern the sect with this attitude, will Yunyang Sect still be fair and just?" Master Taiwu is obviously optimistic about Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan. Otherwise, he would not have taken the two younger generations out to gain experience and practice. But, some things are just the way they are. There is no need, and no need, to whitewash the situation to cover it up.
After being scolded by Master Taiwu, several elders lowered their heads slightly and dared not say much. “You may feel that the situation is becoming increasingly confusing, but I am seeing it more and more clearly. The sect is in this situation because of the bad habits created by us, the top leaders. The disciples who really contributed on the front lines were treated harshly. All the credit goes to the disciples who are close to the hall master and elders. The current situation is just a concrete manifestation of the disease. In fact, our Yunyang Sect has already had big problems!" There was total silence in the side hall. Several elders were being scolded and dared not say anything. "Calm down and train a new group of scout disciples. Even if it means investing more, we must improve the capabilities of this group of exploration disciples. If you continue like this, I will hold you accountable!" Hearing this, several elders nodded. Today, Master Taiwu was already somewhat angry. “As for Su Chen, I will personally arrange for someone to find out more about the situation. Let’s see if he really has the ability.” After saying this, Taoist Taiwu also left the side hall. The five elders who were left behind looked grim. They were silent for a long time, and the fourth elder couldn't help but speak. "I have heard some news about Su Chen recently." As he spoke, the other elders also looked at him. "After the spring, he seemed to have won the first place in the Tiangang City's new disciples' martial arts competition." "The leader? Him? Unlikely, right? " The Fifth Elder was the first to speak, and she was really surprised. In Sun Xuerong's eyes, Su Chen just had some experience on the front line and had performed more espionage missions. If she remembered correctly, Su Chen's level of strength should only be ninth rank. "How can this news be false? Many people in Tiangang City have witnessed it with their own eyes. It’s just that Su Chen is two years older and has to practice more time than other disciples.
But this result is still somewhat surprising. Our evaluation of Su Chen here is that he lacks talent and is not worth training at all." In the silence of the crowd, the Fourth Elder continued speaking. “He went to the frontline in the spring, and it is said that Su Chen’s performance was also outstanding. Many people are saying that this boy is very good at observing the traces of monsters. This boy knows very well where the monsters have been and what the various traces mean." (End of this chapter)
