Chapter 95 Beast Tide In the tent, no one dared to guarantee that they could solve these Great Elder said this, but the several hall masters present did not respond. In this predicament, who dares to take on those responsibilities? After a while, Sun Xuerong on the side spoke. “Jianyun and Xingwan should come to the front line to reinforce in a few days. As a core disciple of the sect, it is our duty to help in times of crisis. When the time comes, I will arrange for some disciples to accompany you on the exploration mission." After saying this, Sun Xuerong paused and looked at the four hall masters again. “For those who don’t follow the sect’s arrangements, direct disciples will be demoted to inner disciples, and inner disciples will be demoted to outer disciples, and 30% of their contributions will be deducted. If anyone wants to leave and is not a direct disciple, let them go. If the disciples want to leave, let them return the resources invested in their training to the sect, and let them go if they want to.
I still don’t believe that our Yunyang Sect will not be able to resist these evil spirits.” Sun Xuerong said these harsh words, but in fact, they were just used to scare those disciples. If a large number of disciples really leave, there will definitely be bigger problems on the front line. Hearing this, several hall masters nodded, indicating that they understood. After a pause, Hall Master Zhao Li raised the issue at hand again. “In the past month and a half, the frequency of monster attacks has increased. At night on the front line, we often have to fend off three or even four waves of monster attacks. It is understandable that the elders are unhappy that the efforts to prevent monsters are not going well. But right now, it is indeed not easy for everyone on the front line. I live in fear every day and have to be alert to the monsters' attacks at all times. I hope the elders will be tolerant." Zhao Li started by pleading with the elders, and then she began to talk about the main business. “It has been recorded in many books that most evil beasts bully the weak and fear the strong. If we don't make them pay the price, they will become more and more aggressive. There are already some trends on the current front line, and these monsters are clearly becoming somewhat arrogant and willful. I worry." Hearing what Zhao Li said, several elders frowned slightly. "You mean, our front line of defense will encounter a beast tide?" The third elder standing by was serious. Things like the beast tide must be treated extremely seriously. But in his heart, he really didn't believe it.
The Great Zhou Dynasty suffered two beast tides in the past hundred years. Every time a beast tide occurs, many ordinary people will be devoured and killed. The fertile farmland was also turned into wilderness by the beast tide. Maojia Valley, southeast of Tiangang City, was once the territory of the Great Zhou. Once upon a time, there were many people living in that area. But after a wave of beasts, everything disappeared, leaving only ruins. "Master Zhao, do you have any basis for what you said?" The great elder sitting in the middle also started to ask. Zhao Li shook her head: "I'm just guessing, the activities of monsters nowadays are indeed a little too frequent. The harassment every night is simply unbearable. It is somewhat similar to the situation before the last beast tide." After Zhao Li finished speaking, she paused for a moment and looked at the people beside her. "What I am most worried about now is that we have been unable to do anything with these monsters, and they will continue to be so arrogant. Even if there is no beast tide, it is very likely to trigger a beast tide to attack." Hearing this, Sun Xuerong did not react much. “It’s only been nineteen years since the last beast tide, so it’s unlikely that there will be another beast tide. Let's not worry too much. However, we must put a stop to the arrogance of these beasts right now." This makes sense, a beast tide usually occurs once every fifty years or more. Only nineteen years have passed, less than half of that. After a few people talked, the first elder, the third elder, and the fifth elder. The three senior leaders also began to visit other disciples at the front line to comfort them. Although there are many unhappy things in their hearts, they still have to focus on motivation now. The morale of the frontline disciples was already low, and if the senior leaders continued to blame them, the team might be disbanded. After expressing their condolences, the three elders did not stay at the front line. At the hour of You, the three left the front line and headed towards the gate of Yunyang Sect. As they walked along, the expressions on the three people's faces were still ugly. There were no other outsiders on the street, so people spoke more casually. The third elder was about to speak, but before he spoke, he sighed again.
“When I saw the Fifth Elder train a group of exploratory disciples, I really thought the sect’s troubles had come to an end. I have seen those disciples before, and each of them is quite smart and proficient in related detection methods. This result was really unexpected.” Hearing this, the Great Elder's eyes became slightly sharper. “No matter how much you praise them, the result won’t change. The abilities of these scout disciples only look good to you. But it is far from enough to truly deal with the tense and complex situation on the front line. The accuracy rate is less than 60%, and the news is often delayed. If you are satisfied with their abilities, then wouldn't you be astounded by our previous defense's probing and espionage abilities?" The Great Elder's words were merciless. The Third Elder and the Fifth Elder were unable to refute. Because these are all real and anyone with eyes can see them clearly. “To be honest with you, I am really a little skeptical now. The reason why we were able to do so well on the front line before was probably because of Su Chen." Seeing that Sun Xuerong wanted to speak, the Great Elder immediately reached out to stop her. "Don't interrupt me, let me finish what I'm saying. The sect is now encountering these problems indeed after Su Chen left. In addition, many disciples who were on duty at the front line mentioned that they often heard news from Su Chen at that time. Because of a disciple, the sect fell into trouble. This sounds very funny and ridiculous. But we can't think of any other reason, so this is probably the truth." Sun Xuerong on the side frowned and kept shaking her head when she heard this, wanting to refute. This time, the third elder on the side held a different opinion from her. “We can go and ask the disciples who are close to Su Chen in person. Let’s find out whether he has the ability or not and what kind of ability he has. Maybe there will be some gains. Moreover, the front line of Tiangang City is becoming more and more stable. I have heard many people mention it. And that Su Chen is really in Tiangang City now.
There are so many coincidences, it’s worth exploring them.” Sun Xuerong wanted to argue, but found that her two senior brothers had already blocked her from saying anything. If it is confirmed that they rely on Su Chen on the front line, then how should Sun Xuerong deal with it? The disciple who was driven away was actually the backbone of the Yunyang Sect? For the Yunyang Sect, it was also a huge reduction in its prestige. What will the people of the Great Zhou think of the Yunyang Sect if the sect's backbone is driven away? After thinking about this, the two elders seemed to react and did not say any more. Please give me a monthly ticket, I want to get 1,000. Today is still chapter 5.
