Chapter 63: Master Taiwu’s Question
Monsters 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 ordinary people.
At the same time, it also has good night vision capabilities.
With such ability, the difficulty of finding them is often far greater than the difficulty of destroying them.
This is the reason why all countries are still suffering from monsters today.
Feeling that they are not strong enough, those monsters will only choose sneak attacks, but will not compete with anyone for strength.
Two years of results made the Yunyang Sect misjudge the monster.
From bottom to top, everyone looked down upon the monster.
Before Su Chen left, many people even said those monsters were stupid.
It can be easily ambushed and killed.
But in fact, without Su Chen providing the traces of those monsters, how could it have been so easy.
Right now, the area between the defense line and Yunyang Sect was giving them a headache to clean up.
The disciples of Yunyang Sect are complaining again and again now.
The sect's hall masters and elders were bored every day.
In the side hall, five elders have arrived.
The sect leader Taiwu Zhenren sitting in the middle looked a little ugly.
In the past two years, everything in Yunyang Zong was in order, and frontline affairs were so smooth.
"It's been almost a month, and it seems that we haven't even cleaned up the monsters near the sect?"
Master Taiwu looked at the third elder.
The tone was very light, but the blame contained in it was very obvious.
“In previous conversations, the elders often said that the sect’s strength has improved significantly in the past two years.
The ability to deal with monsters has improved significantly.
Why does it seem like there is no progress now, but rather regression? "
Master Taiwu glanced at several people.
"It's like this. You have to give me a reason why this situation happened."
As the person responsible for this clearing operation, the third elder frowned and stood up slowly.
“We may have misjudged those monsters.
During this period of time, the disciples of the sect have actually tried their best to kill the monsters.
But it’s easy to kill monsters, but it’s hard to find monsters.”
The third elder spoke, and this "difficult" description made Master Taiwu frown even more.
"If I remember correctly, the group of investigation disciples trained by the fifth elder went to cooperate with the hunt for monsters five days ago?"
Hearing his sect master's questioning, the third elder glanced at the fifth elder, then turned around and replied.
"The detection ability of that group of disciples is still not as good as expected. They often provide traces and movements of monsters, but they all lag behind.
By the time we rushed over, the monster was already hiding somewhere. "
The third elder does not want to take all the problems on himself.
When it's time to share responsibilities, of course, you have to separate them.
But right now, Master Taiwu doesn't want to worry about who is responsible and who bears responsibility.
What he wants is to solve the problem and restore the previous order as soon as possible.
"Did Jian Yun and Xingwan also perform poorly in the demon-slaying operation?
I looked at the list of reports and saw that the monsters they destroyed every day were very few. "
Hearing this, the fifth elder Sun Xuerong on the side quickly spoke to explain to her good disciple.
“The probing disciples trained by the sect are indeed not capable enough.
The information given was too false and delayed too long. Jian Yun and the others killed only a few demons, so we can’t blame them."
When it came to Fu Jianyun, the fifth elder's words were full of excuses for him.
In the past, Master Taiwu would not have bothered to delve into it.
But now, Yunyang Sect has exposed various difficulties, and it is impossible for him not to investigate deeply. “During last year’s clearing operation, Jian Yun and Xingwan were far ahead in killing monsters.
According to the meaning of the fifth elder's words, the responsibility does not lie with them, and the majority of the credit should not lie with them.
How come they were given so much more credit for last year's late summer crackdown than others?
When they have merit, they are the main force, and when they bear responsibility, they are not 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 the Yunyang Sect still be fair and just?"
Master Taiwu is obviously optimistic about Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan.
Otherwise, he would not take the two juniors out to practice practice.
However, some things are just as they should be.
It is not necessary and should not be covered up by sugarcoating the situation.
After being scolded by Master Taiwu, several elders lowered their heads slightly and did not dare to say anything.
"You may feel that the situation is becoming increasingly unclear now, but I see it more and more clearly.
This situation in the sect is due to the bad atmosphere driven by us, the higher-ups.
The disciples who really contributed on the front lines were treated harshly.
Disciples who are close to the hall master and elders, all the credit goes to them.
The situation before me is just the concrete manifestation of the disease.
In fact, our Yunyang Sect has already had a big problem! "
In the side hall, there was silence.
Several elders were scolded and did not dare to say anything.
"Calm down, now re-cultivate and train a group of exploration disciples.
Even if we invest more, we still need to improve the ability of these probing disciples.
If you continue to act like this, I will take advantage of you! "
Hearing this, several elders nodded.
Today, Master Taiwu was already a little angry.
"As for Su Chen, I will personally arrange for someone to go and find out the situation.
Let's see if he is really capable. "
After saying that, Master Taiwu also waved his hands and left the side hall.
The five elders were left with ugly faces.
Several people were silent for a while, and the fourth elder couldn't help but speak.
"I did hear some news about Su Chen recently."
While speaking, several other elders also looked at him.
"After the spring comes, he seems to have won the first place in the martial arts competition among the new disciples in Tiangang City."
"The leader?
Him? Improbable, right?"
The fifth elder spoke first, and she was really surprised.
In Sun Xuerong's eyes, Su Chen just had some experience on the front line and had performed more spy missions.
If she remembered correctly, Su Chen's level of strength should only be at the ninth level.
"Can this kind of news be false? There are many people in Tiangang City who have seen it with their own eyes.
However, Su Chen is two years older and needs more time to practice than other disciples.
But this result is still somewhat surprising.
Our evaluation of Su Chen here is that he lacks talent and has no value in cultivating him. "
In the silence of everyone, the fourth elder continued to speak.
"I went to the front line after spring, and it is said that Su Chen's performance was also very good.
Many people are saying that this boy is very good at detecting traces of monsters.
I know very well where monsters have been and what the various traces mean."
