Chapter 8: Yunyang Sect's Front Line ShrinksMy mother and younger sister naturally believe in me. But in the eyes of outsiders, the fact that the Yunyang Sect drove them away was already irrefutable evidence. The number one sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Yunyang Sect. The sect that once killed the celestial demon is extremely noble in the hearts of the people. "When the people of Jiang'an hear this, you two, mother and little sister, will also be treated differently." Being expelled from the Yunyang Sect for being greedy for credit and taking away other people's achievements was considered a ruined reputation. Family members at home will also be affected. Zhang Xuefen said with a serious look in her eyes: "We have lived together as a family for so long, and as a mother, I know what kind of characters you two children are. As a family, we would never do such a despicable or dirty thing." After cleaning the stove, Su Chen sat down at the table.
“I don’t know when it started, but rumors started spreading in the sect that I was greedy for credit. Even if I go to save people, it will be interpreted as stealing credit." A bitter smile appeared on his face, and Su Chen felt a little helpless. "Maybe he felt that with my level of strength, it would be impossible for me to gain so many contributions." There is no hiding between family members. After hearing Su Chen's explanation, A Niang and Xiao Mei were a little angry. “It is said that Yunyang Sect is full of experts and is the number one sect in the Great Zhou. But I see, they are just a bunch of fools.” How could a mother not be angry when her child was framed? She saw how much Su Chen had contributed to the Yunyang Sect. Those who are truly greedy for fame are all afraid of death. With so many wounds on his body, does he look like a coward? "Chen Xia has spread these things to Jiang'an City. Mother, you and my younger sister will definitely be affected when you live here in the future. Otherwise, let’s live in another city.” Su Chen originally thought that the news about himself would not spread in Jiang'an City. But now, Chen Xia has spread everywhere. “We are doing the right thing, there is nothing to be afraid of. Whoever points fingers at us, we will argue with him. If we move out of Jiang'an City now, it will only confirm the stain on Xiao Chenni."
A Niang and younger sister decided not to leave and stayed in Jiang'an City. But in this world, no matter how upright you are, you may still be slandered as a villain. Unless you find a way to clear your own name. Let the world see that the merits and contributions you have obtained are not stolen, but what you deserve. Su Chen thought of the letter that Senior Sister Yu Zhi had written to him. Maybe I could go to Tiangang City. Su Chen has a good impression of the people of the Great Zhou. The vast majority of people are simple and friendly. Having lived in Jiang'an City for many years, I have received care from my neighbors more than once. After activating [Monster Hunting Pioneer], this mysterious ability makes it impossible for monsters to hide. For every demon that is stopped in the wilderness, there is one less civilian home that is destroyed. Secondly, if he could achieve great things in Tiangang City and rebuild his reputation. It can also get rid of the label of "good at stealing credit". In fact, if this title only affects myself, it doesn’t matter. But when the news reached Jiang'an City, my mother and younger sister would definitely be affected. It is possible that garment factories will refuse to allow them to work there. Now he has reached the eighth level of the Essence Refining Realm and is strong enough to deal with ordinary big monsters. If you want to improve yourself, it won’t happen overnight. The trip to Tiangang City can also bring you some experience and strengthen your own practice. Yunyang Sect front line. After Xiang Yilei died while performing a spy mission, no one was willing to take on spy missions for a short period of time. As the front-line commander, Master He also asked everyone to focus on defense recently. At the hour of You, it was almost dark. The frontline disciples were relieved after four days of guarding and went back to have a hot dinner. On the way back, everyone was chatting and talking. "With Xiang Yilei's death, some people are going to mention Su Chen again." "I guess so. After all, our Senior Brother Su has never been afraid of espionage missions." Some people seemed to hate Su Chen very much, and even after Su Chen had left, they still made sarcastic remarks. Yu Zhi, who was standing by, heard this and frowned with some disgust.
Su Chen's strength was indeed not outstanding. When he was in the Yunyang Sect, he had only completed the ninth level of body refining. But relying on this strength, Su Chen entered the inner gate based on his merits and contributions. Perhaps this is why many people are jealous. The complaints against Su Chen were only this serious. Xiang Yilei died, but people still haven't seen Su Chen's value. Yu Zhi felt angry and helpless. During this period, Yu Zhi has discovered that the news intelligence and monster movements from the front line are seriously lagging behind. It's no longer just a spy mission, even the defense may go wrong. By the time everyone reacted, it was unknown how many people had already died. Only after paying a great price will you know what Su Chen did. After returning to the camp, Yu Zhi sat down to rest and eat something. She had tried to remind them, but many disciples still made jokes and ridicules. Some people also said that Su Chen’s departure made her contribution less, and the criticism was even directed at her. It was peaceful for a few days. It was late at night again. Yu Zhi slept for a while and then heard some commotion outside the tent. He stood up and walked out quickly. "Senior sister, there are more casualties on the front line. A group of gray wolf monsters jumped over the thorn fence." Upon hearing the news, everyone, including Yu Zhi, was a little surprised. In the past two years, the monsters seemed to have never broken through the defense line. As long as you stay within the defense facilities, there is generally no danger. But it had only been a short time since Xiang Yilei died, and someone else had died on the front line. After two people died in succession, the disciples on the front line seemed to have lost their initial calmness. Before coming here, I was thinking about earning credit, but now, it has become a way to save my life. Two quarters of an hour after receiving the news, the front-line commander He Chao summoned all his direct disciples and inner disciples. “Two disciples died in succession, causing panic among the people. Tell me about it, find out the reason, and seek a solution." He Chao looked a little ugly. Everything was fine when other hall masters were in charge of the front lines, but problems arose when he came. Isn't this proving that one is incompetent and that one's command is inappropriate?
Hearing this, Yu Zhi did not hesitate and immediately said what was in his mind. "In the past two years, it has always been Su Chen who has been spying on the front lines to find out the movements of those monsters." Before Yu Zhi could finish her words, Hall Master He Chao waved his hand. “Yu Zhi, I know you have a good relationship with Su Chen. But now we are discussing business, and we know clearly what his skills and abilities are. Do you really think that we are experiencing this because he left?" He Chao frowned and waved his hand, signaling Yu Zhi to stop talking nonsense. An inner sect disciple nearby followed up with the conversation. “The current predicament is essentially because winter is approaching. In winter, some monsters find it difficult to find food. In order to prepare food for the winter, they will naturally become more violent in recent days. What does it have to do with Su Chen? " As he spoke, the disciple deliberately turned his head and glanced at Yu Zhi. He Chao also thought that this made sense, and even thought that Yu Zhi was a little ridiculous for mentioning Su Chen for no reason. "How about this, shrink the front line and concentrate our forces on defense. Two people have already died, no more deaths are allowed. The priority is to take precautions, and all outreach and expansion efforts are on hold." (End of this chapter)
