"Go directly to the sect headquarters?" Wu Yuan said softly.
"right!"
Gu Ji said: "As long as it is verified by the director of Nanmeng Martial Academy, I will immediately take the young master to leave Nanmeng City and arrive at the sect headquarters in four to five days."
"At the sect headquarters, there are not only two great masters on the Earth Ranking, but also many top masters, first-class masters, and three thousand 'Hengyun Army' guarding them."
"Let alone Luobei Xiong, a top expert, even if the Earth Ranking Grandmaster dares to break in alone, he will still be in danger of death." Gu Ji was full of confidence.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but nod.
What Gu Ji said was indeed correct. Judging from their conversations these days, it would be extremely dangerous to break into the headquarters of a martial arts sect without the strength of the Tianbang.
Don’t say anything else.
Only three thousand Hengyun troops are enough to make any master of the Earth Ranking fear them.
Under the command of Hengyun Sect, there are four elite armies. Among them, Nanmeng Army, Baihu Army, and Yunshan Army are all composed of martial arts masters and led by a large number of masters. These three armies are stationed in the three prefectures respectively to suppress various places and maintain their territory. Stablize.
The Hengyun Army has the smallest number of people, but it is the cornerstone of the Hengyun Sect's true power in Jiangzhou.
All six thousand Hengyun troops are top-notch masters, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp weapons. Their attack is as roaring as a river, and their defense is as towering as a mountain!
Each of the three major cities has a thousand Hengyun troops.
This is the foundation of the general's power.
There are also three thousand Hengyun troops stationed at the sect headquarters in peacetime and directly dispatched by the sect master. At critical moments, it is the confidence for Hengyun sect to compete with hundreds of sects from all over the world!
Wu Yuan had to admit that Gu Ji's suggestion made sense.
If Wu Yuan really only had the strength of a martial artist, he might have adopted this suggestion. Unfortunately, Wu Yuan himself was already quite strong and was still improving rapidly.
"The most important thing is, if we go directly to the sect headquarters, wouldn't we let Xu Shouyi go?" A trace of murderous intention flashed in Wu Yuan's heart.
He had already planned to get rid of Xu Shouyi before joining the clan.
Remove a great scourge to your family and clan.
"Uncle Ji, let's take a look at the situation for now." Wu Yuan said, "It won't be too late to make a decision after the dean of the martial arts academy has verified it."
"Yeah." Gu Ji nodded helplessly.
He could force Wu Yuan, but unfortunately, the palace master had already issued an order, and he was only responsible for protecting Wu Yuan's safety.
"Uncle Ji, since you agreed to go to the Wu clan yesterday, please come with me today." Wu Yuan said.
Ancient times naturally agreed.
soon.
Wu Yuan and Gu Ji left the martial arts academy with four guards including Wu Xiong. As for the other guards? Stayed in the martial arts academy.
Firstly, it is relatively safe in the city, and secondly, the dozen or so guards accompanying him are too conspicuous.
…
The Nanmeng Wu family is not considered a top family in Nanmeng Mansion.
It can be passed down for nearly two hundred years, and the clan has produced first-class masters, and some clan members have also served as local county governors, which can be said to have a profound foundation.
Because of this, the Wu family was able to spread its branches in the six counties of Nanmeng Prefecture.
Today, there is a lively scene in the Wu clan mansion, with hundreds of clan members gathering in the square in front of the ancestral hall.
"Although Wu Yuan is a specially recruited disciple of the sect, he is too arrogant."
A tall old man wearing rich clothes stood at the front of the crowd, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "We are the head sect of the Wu family, a branch of his descendants. When we came to Nanmeng City, we didn't say we came to worship our ancestors immediately. We made an appointment to visit today, but it’s already past breakfast time, but it’s not even here yet!”
"There are thirteen elders in the family, and five of them came in person today, which is enough to give him face." Another middle-aged man in red robe said coldly.
"Everyone put out the fire"
An old man in black robes said in a low voice: "Wu Yuan is young, talented, and naturally very proud. We hope that he will join the clan and revitalize our Wu family. We are going to cause conflicts."
"Great Elder!"
"What you said makes sense." The old man in gorgeous clothes snorted coldly: "But the sect has laws and the clan has rules. No matter how talented Wu Yuan is, he will not break the clan rules. In the end, he is just a special move. Disciple, he will become a second-rate master in the future, can he bring about earth-shaking changes in our Wu family?"
"There is no generation in the clan that lacks second-rate masters." The middle-aged man in red robe also said: "I think the welcome ceremony held today is too grand!"
Several other elders agreed.
Although in theory, Wu Yuan joining the main clan will strengthen the entire family.
But in their opinion, unless Wu Yuan's strength reaches the first-class level, they will only share the cake.
Moreover, the last letter from the Wu family in Licheng declined the request for Wu Yuan to join the 'main sect', which had already made these family elders somewhat dissatisfied.
"Shut up, everyone!"
The black-robed old man glanced at the four people behind him, with a gloomy expression: "I hope no one will say this when Wu Yuan comes."
Several elders couldn't help but become quiet.
In terms of status and prestige, except for the clan leader, no one can compare with the 'Great Elder'. Several elders present are actually his juniors.
Suddenly, at this moment.
"Great Elder, Wu Yuan is here!" A hurried voice sounded from the distant gate, immediately making everyone in the square look.
"It's finally here."
"I didn't even have breakfast, and I was pulled away."
"Just a descendant of a branch." A group of Wu clan members whispered. Obviously, many people were dissatisfied with Wu Yuan, whom they had never met.
"You guys, all come with me to greet me." The great elder said coldly, taking the lead in walking towards the gate.
Although several elders were reluctant, they did not dare to refute and followed suit one after another.
...Wu's mansion, entrance.
Wu Yuan and his group waited patiently.
"Sir, we can obviously get here faster, why are we wasting time at the 'breakfast stall'?" Another guard named 'Fang Ying' asked in confusion.
"According to the etiquette, when the branch disciples visit the main sect, should they come earlier than the meal time?" Wu Yuan smiled and said, "To show respect?"
"Yes." Fang Ying couldn't help but nodded. He thought Wu Yuan didn't know these etiquette details.
"I'm late. If it were you, wouldn't you be dissatisfied?" Wu Yuan chuckled.
Fang Ying hesitated and said, "Probably."
"That's right!" Wu Yuan smiled. What he wanted was for the Wu clan to be dissatisfied. The more dissatisfied the better!
At this time, not only Fang Ying, but also several other guards were a little confused.
Only ancient times are thoughtful.
"Here we come." Wu Yuan said softly, looking at the large group of people walking out of the gate, but without the slightest thought of making any move.
This made the guards more and more confused. According to the ceremony, the master came to greet him. Wu Yuan should take the initiative to greet him at this time.
Communicated over the past few days.
Let Wu Xiong and Fang Ying understand that Wu Yuan still knows etiquette very well, but when he comes to the Wu clan, he doesn't know etiquette everywhere.
"This is Wu Yuan!" The elders of the Wu family standing on the steps saw that Wu Yuan hadn't moved at all, and their anger, which had mostly subsided, suddenly rose up.
Even the great elder frowned slightly.
But the eldest elder showed great self-discipline and still walked down the steps with a smile: "This, I guess, is the young talent of my Wu family, 'Wu Yuan'!"
"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded slightly: "Who is your Excellency?"
"Wu Yuan." The old man in rich clothes who followed him finally couldn't hold back anymore and said in a low voice: "You have seen the great elder, why don't you give me a quick salute?"
"Great Elder?"
Wu Yuan, however, turned a deaf ear. He smiled and bowed slightly: "Wu Yuan, a descendant of the Wu family in Licheng, has met the great elder."
Not to mention kneeling down, he didn’t even bow down completely!
Not to mention several elders of the Wu family, even Wu Xiong, Fang Ying and other guards looked at each other, feeling that Wu Yuan had gone too far.
The eldest elder of the Wu clan, it stands to reason that when the Wu clan leader from Licheng sees him, he will also bow to him.
The world of Middle-earth attaches great importance to clan etiquette!
The old man in gorgeous clothes and other elders were about to get angry when they suddenly felt a cold light sweep across them. They were all startled and suppressed the words that came to their mouths.
"Wu Yuan, the clan leader and thousands of clan members are very happy that you can come. You are the first specially recruited disciple of our Wu clan, haha." The great elder smiled with a smile on his face, looking very gentle: "This is the mansion of the Wu clan. , is also the 'ancestor' of the six branches of the Wu family, and is also the root of You, so you can remember it."
"Yeah." Wu Yuan said vaguely, but felt a little disappointed.
This great elder has cultivated his kung fu very well. A rich family that can pass it down for a long time will definitely have two skills.
"Wu Yuan, let's go in together." The great elder said sideways.
Wu Yuan nodded.
Immediately, under the guidance of the First Elder and several other elders, Wu Yuan and a group of guards first viewed the Wu family's mansion, and then listened to the 'glorious' history of the Wu family's ancestors.
finally.
A group of people had just arrived in front of the newly decorated ancestral hall to perform the last and most solemn 'ancestral worship'.
"It's okay for me to inherit my body, inherit my bloodline, and worship my ancestors." Wu Yuan didn't have the slightest mental barrier.
All the rituals of ancestor worship have been completed!
At this moment, nearly a thousand members of the Wu family had already gathered around the ancestral hall and the square outside. They were all looking at Wu Yuan, the great elder and others who were standing in front of the portraits of their ancestors.
"Wu Yuan!"
The great elder's face became more and more kind, but his voice was clear and reverberated in the ears of all the Wu clan members: "Today, I am visiting the house and worshiping my ancestors. It is to welcome you, and it is also to comfort me, the ancestors of the Wu clan, that a new generation will be born. Heroic junior!"
"Are you willing to leave your name on the list of heroes in the 'ancestral hall'?" The great elder's eyes were full of expectation.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Wu Yuan.
We are a wealthy family with so many children? Not everyone can be named in the ancestral hall, only outstanding children or those who have made great contributions to the family, hence the name "Elite List".
same.
Once Wu Yuan agrees to leave his name, it means that his clan status will be moved from the city back to the main sect and he will become a member of the main sect!
Gu Ji, Wu Xiong and others stood aside.
This was Wu's family matter. As long as Wu Yuan's life was not in danger, they would not be able to interfere, let alone intervene.
"The ancestors of the past generations have struggled and worked hard to start a business, so that the Wu family can be glorious today. I, Wu Yuan, am grateful for the kindness of my ancestors." Wu Yuan smiled and said: "Therefore, when I came out of Licheng, the patriarch had put my name on the ancestral hall of Licheng. 'The British Register'."
"It's hard for one person to keep two books. I'm afraid it won't be as great as the great elder wishes. I hope the great elder can forgive me."
The entire ancestral hall fell silent.
Refused!
The smile on the Great Elder's face also froze slightly. He did not expect that after giving Wu Yuan such great honor and status, he would still be rejected without hesitation!
"Wu Yuan! Don't be so shameless."
The red-robed old man standing behind the great elder finally couldn't help but angrily yelled: "The Wu family in Licheng is just a branch, how can it be compared with the main sect? It is your honor to have you included in the main sect and the Shuying list."
"I have always been proud to be a member of the Wu family in Licheng." Wu Yuan said lightly, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
Looking at the Wu clan members who all had angry faces, Wu Yuan smiled in his heart.
He is not afraid that his sect will fall out, he is only worried that his sect will not fall out.
If that's the case, he shouldn't go too far!
"Wu Yuan, is this what Wu Qiming taught you?" No matter how well-mannered the elder is, he can't hold back his anger.
"When I was young and ignorant, the patriarch taught me etiquette." Wu Yuan said calmly without any trace of panic in his voice: "When my father died in the battle at Hengshan, the patriarch gave me money; when I encountered confusion in life, the patriarch showed me the way."
"With the Wu family in Licheng, I, Wu Yuan, am here today!"
"I don't know, what does the Great Elder want to teach me today?" Wu Yuan looked directly at the Great Elder: "Is it unfaithful, unjust, or unfilial?"
