The other elders also felt that this was reasonable and didn't want Wang Shouye to go.
But Wang Shouye didn't agree and waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this. If it's dangerous for me, then won't it be dangerous for you?
As the clan leader, you should protect the clan from the wind and rain.
I've been the clan leader for so many years and you've always been the one to take on dangerous missions.
Now that fifth uncle is here, the foreign faction won't be as rampant as before. The possibility of them taking action in this kind of battle isn't high.
This time, going to Wucheng Pass is also a battle to defend the city.
With the city walls and defensive artifacts, it won't be as dangerous as you think.
Before I reached Foundation Establishment, I traveled outside for a few decades and didn't I still live well? At worst, I'll just bring a few more things to protect myself.
I'm going to take part in this battle mainly to share some of the risks for you.
You have the authority to manage now and after you open up your Zifu, you'll be an official manager.
Plus, you're strong in fights of magical power and you're proficient in all four paths. You'll definitely be put in an important position.
In a few years, you'll quickly grow into a leading figure of the clan. The possibility of the foreign faction scheming against you is even greater. "
Seeing that he was determined to take part, Wang Daoyuan didn't try to persuade him anymore, saying: "Since you've decided, I won't try to persuade you anymore. When do we assemble? "
Wang Shouye smiled: "Elder Yang sent news that the northern clans of Qingli Prefecture will arrive at Qingli Market within five days.
Afterwards, we'll take a flying boat to Three River Market at the intersection of the three sects.
After we arrive, we'll listen to the instructions of the Netherworld Sect's Jindan ancestor.
As for the following arrangements, Elder Yang hasn't informed us. "
Wang Daoyuan nodded, saying: "I've never experienced this kind of battle between two armies and a battle to defend a city. I also don't know how to fight.
Everyone, try to bring as many things as possible. All kinds of pills, talismans, artifacts, and a few more storage bags. It's better to be prepared.
It's best not to bring spirit beasts or spirit insects. We're in the Thousand Spirit Sect's territory. If we bring spirit beasts and spirit insects, we'll be in trouble if we run into some blind Thousand Spirit Sect disciples.
The less trouble, the better. Let's try not to provoke trouble. "
No one had any objections. Eighth Uncle Wang Shoujiang left the meeting hall to deliver orders to the clansmen who were participating in the battle and distribute supplies.
These Qi Refinement cultivators participating in the battle were all cultivators of the 'Shou' and 'Dao' generation. They did not have any special skills.
Wang Daoyuan was already close to ninety years old. Fourth Uncle Wang Shouyuan, Fifth Uncle Wang Shouyi, Sixth Uncle Wang Shoufeng, and Seventh Uncle Wang Shouhong had all passed away.
More than half of the Shou generation cultivators had withered away, and most of the remaining cultivators were over a hundred years old.
Apart from Fifth Granduncle, the rest of the Zhi generation had all withered away. There were only a dozen or so people of the Shou generation left.
Even the oldest of the Dao generation was only in his nineties, not to the point of withering away.
Originally, there were only thirty or so people in the 'Dao' generation. In recent years, the Wang Clan has been giving preferential treatment to the close relatives of pregnant cultivators.
The cultivators of the 'Shou' generation married a large number of wives and concubines and gave birth to many cultivators.
Currently, there were more than 50 cultivators of the 'Dao' generation.
The number of cultivators from the 'Ming' generation grew faster and faster. Now, there were already over seventy people. Among them, there were also some cultivators who could shoulder great responsibilities.
For example, Wang Meng's great-grandson Wang Mingshan. He was only in his twenties and was already at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
His talent in alchemy was not bad and he was already a first-stage superior-grade alchemist. There was no need for Wang Daoyuan to take care of him. When his cultivation reached the peak of Qi Refinement, Wang Daoyuan could just give him a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Three days later, everyone boarded the Jade Spring flying ship and headed to Qingli City.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Netherworld Sect's encampment, they found that most of the people from the various clans in the northern part of Qingli County had already arrived.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator came out of the Netherworld Sect's encampment and cupped his hands towards the cultivators of the various clans. "Elder Yang has ordered for the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the various clans to enter for a discussion."
Wang Shouye instructed the Qi Refinement cultivators of the clan. "You all wait here first."
The twenty Qi Refinement cultivators replied in unison, "Yes."
Wang Daoyuan and the other three followed the Netherworld Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivator to the discussion hall.
There were already people in the hall. Yang Yong sat at the head of the table while Liang Liang sat at the head of the table on the left.
After entering the hall, Wang Daoyuan did not stand on ceremony and directly sat at the head of the table on the right.
It was not appropriate for Wang Shouye and the others to sit at the head of the table. After all, their seniority was lower.
Although Wang Daoyuan's seniority was lower, he had the authority of the Netherworld Sect's Artifact Forging Hall.
Yang Yong definitely knew about this, but he did not say anything.
The other Foundation Establishment cultivators also did not dare to interfere in the matters of the three great Zifu clans.
After everyone had arrived, Yang Yong said, "Everyone, this time, the Song Kingdom has mobilized all its forces to invade the Kingdom of Zhao. The Myriad Spirit Sect has already resisted the Wucheng Pass for more than ten years.
Although the Myriad Spirit Sect is strong, it is difficult to resist the attack of the entire Song Kingdom.
Now that the Myriad Spirit Sect cannot hold on, once the Song Kingdom breaks through the Wucheng Pass, they will be able to break into the hinterland of the Zhao Kingdom. The five counties south of the Wan Chuan River will be difficult to defend.
Once the Song Kingdom obtains the five counties, the north of the Wan Chuan River will also become a battlefield.
When that time comes, I'm afraid that even the foundations of your clans will be destroyed by the flames of war.
In order to protect the Zhao Kingdom and for your clans, we must support the Myriad Spirit Sect and repel the Song Kingdom's invasion.
I need to guard the Clear Glass Market and cannot participate in the battle.
The sect did not specify who will lead the cultivators of the clans. You can discuss among yourselves. I still have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave. "
The clans did not really care that the Song Kingdom wanted to destroy the three great sects.
This was because most of the clans only had a few Qi Refinement cultivators join the Underworld Sect. The others were not involved.
Giving up a few Qi Refinement cultivators at the crucial moment was not a problem.
The clans did not care who ruled the Zhao Kingdom.
However, if the flames of war spread to their own territories, they would definitely not be willing.
Furthermore, the Underworld Sect's conscription order could not be ignored. If they wanted to fight, then so be it.
As for who would lead the clans, only the three great Zifu clans would fight over it. The other clans did not have the qualifications and would not interfere.
The Yang Clan's Patriarch, Yang Zhiyuan, should have gotten the message from Yang Yong. Furthermore, Liang Liang was here. He had no interest in fighting for the position of leader.
Liang Liang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Since Elder Yang and Elder Wang are not here, as the only Zifu Disciple on this trip, I naturally will not pass on the responsibility of leading the cultivators of the clans."
Wang Daoyuan said coldly, "Wait. Elder Liang has been guarding the western border for many years. You are not familiar with the cultivators of the various clans.
In addition, you're already old, so why do you have to trouble yourself over this matter?
Junior will handle the trivial matters of leading the clans. "
The cultivators present were somewhat puzzled. The fact that Wang Daoyuan was highly regarded by the Underworld Sect's Patriarch was known by all the cultivators of the clans who went with him to forge artifacts.
However, the fact that he still had the steward's medallion in his hands was unknown to the others.
Everyone had originally thought that it would be Liang Liang, Yang Zhiyuan and Wang Shouye fighting for the position of leader.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shouye and Yang Zhiyuan did not speak. Instead, it was the junior Wang Daoyuan who spoke up.
Liang Liang snorted coldly and said, "A child still wet behind the ears. Do you want to manage this old man?"
Wang Daoyuan took out the steward's medallion and said, "I definitely do not dare to compare age. Elder Liang is almost 490 years old, right?
Junior's age is only a fraction of yours. My Fifth Great Uncle is not even 200 years old. How could he dare to compare with you?
However, junior was previously summoned by the sect to assist in forging flying warships.
Afterwards, junior's artifact forging and formation skills both broke through to the third rank. The Patriarch ordered me to command several dozen Daoyou to forge flying warships. In five years, we forged over 60 flying warships.
Due to the Patriarch's high regard, he bestowed upon me the Artifact Forging Hall's steward's medallion.
Although I am not a disciple of the Underworld Sect, nor am I an official steward of the Underworld Sect, I have all the authority of a steward.
I am in charge of the various clans' cultivators with the authority of a steward. Which Daoyou has objections? "
