"Mo Wen, do you have a grudge against the Dafang Sect?" Mo Wen's purpose for coming to the Dafang Sect was clearly different from theirs. Moreover, today's stance could be said to be at loggerheads with the Dafang Sect.
"I don't know."
Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders. In reality, he did not have any direct enmity with the Dafang Sect. Although he had killed an elder of the Dafang Sect, at least the Dafang Sect had not had time to retaliate against him. If the Dafang Sect did not seek revenge on him, then he and the Dafang Sect would naturally coexist peacefully.
He came to the Dafang Sect because of Wang Yinru. It had nothing to do with him.
"Previously, I heard from your mother that you are preparing to compete for the position of the Dafang Sect's Sect Leader. What kind of relationship do you have with the Dafang Sect?"
Not everyone had the right to compete for the position of sect leader. Just now, the Dafang Sect's Sect Grand Elder had not denied Mo Wen's right to compete. Mo Wen definitely had some sort of relationship with the Dafang Sect.
"If you are qualified, then you are qualified. Why do you care so much?" Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Gu Jingman. He naturally couldn't tell anyone about Wang Yinru.
"Tsk, I'm leaving."
Gu Jingman stood up and left angrily. This Mo Wen didn't tell her anything. Did he still treat her like an older sister?
At night, Wang Yinru finally returned to the small courtyard. However, she didn't look very good and seemed to be a little heavy.
"What happened?"
Mo Wen looked at the unhappy Wang Yinru in surprise. Could it be that she had not settled the matter properly?
"The three aristocratic families refused to meet him."
Wang Yinru said with an unsightly expression. She had gone to visit those three clans, but she had been rejected three times in a row. She didn't understand why those three families were avoiding her.
Especially the Zhou Family's old patriarch, he made it clear that he wouldn't cooperate with her. The other two families didn't care, but the Zhou Family's attitude made Wang Yinru feel bad.
With her current cultivation, it would not be difficult to deal with the Jiang Family if the Zhou Family's Patriarch cooperated with her. Even if they could not eradicate the Jiang Family, they could at least keep them in check. However, none of the three families were willing to cooperate with her.
Could it be that the three aristocratic families had gotten used to being oppressed by the Jiang family for so many years that they didn't want to change their current situation?
"What reason did they give? Or a hint? "Mo Wen asked.
"They just refused to let me in. They didn't tell me anything." Wang Yinru shook her head.
"Interesting." Mo Wen smiled. Perhaps this trip to the Dafang Sect was not as simple as they had imagined.
"You've also thought of it?"
Wang Yinru sighed. It was a very simple logic. Whatever Mo Wen could think of, she could naturally think of as well. There must be a reason why the three families treated her so coldly.
After all, she was a strong practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm. Under normal circumstances, if she went to visit the three clan leaders, she would definitely be treated as a distinguished guest. However, the treatment now was the complete opposite.
In such a situation, there were only two possibilities. The first was that the three clans didn't care about a strong practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm. The second was that they were threatened and didn't dare to have too much contact with her.
The first one was obviously not very possible, as they did not have the qualifications to look down on the strong practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm. Then, it could only be the second one. For some reason, they did not dare to come into contact with her.
In the Dafang Sect, only the Jiang Clan had such qualifications. They were afraid of the Jiang Clan, so they didn't dare to cooperate with her.
"The Zhou Clan's clan leader is avoiding you. Obviously, he thinks that even if he cooperates with you, he still won't be able to win against the Jiang Clan. So, he doesn't dare to show his face," Mo Wen said with a smile.
From the reactions of the three families, he could see many problems. The Jiang Clan was able to make the three families so afraid, so they most likely had a lot of power.
"What do we do now?" Wang Yinru asked worriedly. The situation was clearly out of her control.
Previously, she had pinned a lot of hopes on the three families to stand on the same side as her and deal with the Jiang Clan together. Only then would she have a high chance of winning against the Jiang Clan. However, now, it was obviously not very possible. The result was completely out of her expectations. Not only would the three families not cooperate with them, but they might even stand on the Jiang Clan's side.
This way, with just the two of them, it would be difficult for them to do anything alone.
"We are all sitting in the Dafang Sect. Now, we can only take it one step at a time. Could it be that we can still secretly escape now? Wouldn't that be a joke? Moreover, even if you want to leave now, I'm afraid it won't be easy. The Jiang Clan won't let you go so easily. "
Mo Wen pursed his lips and smiled. In the current situation, it didn't matter whether he moved forward or retreated.
"Since that's the case, let's make a scene for once."
A cold light flashed in Wang Yinru's eyes. She wanted to see exactly how capable the Jiang Clan was.
…
The next morning was the day of the Dafang Sect Leader Selection. The location was on a square in a valley. The square was very big, and it was built no different from the squares in the city. There was a man-made garden, shade from the trees, a fountain that led to a stream from the mountain, and many stone chairs and tables. It was almost no different from a modern square, but the location was on top of the mountain peak.
The Dafang Sect was indeed a big sect with a deep heritage. God knew how much manpower and resources had been spent on a square.
It was still early, but at this time, many people had already rushed to the square. The ancient martial art practitioners who had come to participate in the Dafang Sect Leader Selection had an exclusive seat. As for the normal disciples of the Dafang Sect, very few of them had the right to sit in the square. Those who could come were all seated to do the work of the reception staff.
Only ancient martial art practitioners who were above the Sea of Qi realm had a seat.
Among the seats in the square, there were five special areas for the people of the five big aristocratic families of the Dafang Sect. Each aristocratic family had 50 seats.
In the corner on the right, there was an empty area with only two people sitting alone. That area represented the Wang Clan of the Dafang Sect.
The other four areas were almost all filled with people. Only the Wang Clan's area was empty from start to finish.
With such a seating arrangement, it was unknown whether the Jiang Clan was treating the Wang Clan in accordance with the principle of fairness and justice, or if they had purposely arranged so many seats for them to make them stand out among the crowd and become a laughing stock.
Indeed, that area attracted the gazes of many people. Everyone was a little surprised and didn't understand what was going on.
Wang Yinru's face was gloomy as she sat in the clan leader's seat at the front. She lowered her eyes and didn't say a word. An uncontrollable chill emanated from her body.
Back then, the Wang Clan was prosperous and was also a big clan, but now it had fallen to such a state. She still remembered clearly the scene of the Wang Clan participating in the Sect Leader Selection Meeting 20 years ago. All the seats were full of people, and every one of them was her family.
She still remembered that when her elder brother had won the position of the sect leader, the people of the Wang Clan had cheered and the scene was in full swing.
But now, she was the only one left, representing the entire clan. Once again, she had come to participate in this meeting. Compared to the liveliness of the past, now it was only cold and desolate.
The cold scene evoked Wang Yinru's memories. At the same time, it also evoked the hatred of the massacre of the entire clan.
Mo Wen didn't have Wang Yinru's pessimistic mood. He sat boldly in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. He liked the peace and quiet around him, but he didn't like sitting with a large group of people.
"There are quite a lot of people who came to participate in this meeting. The Dafang Sect's rallying power is not small."
Seemingly sensing that Wang Yinru's mood wasn't right, Mo Wen started to initiate a conversation with her.
"This time, a large portion of the ancient martial arts practitioners who came to participate in the Dafang Sect Leader Selection Meeting are ancient martial arts practitioners from the series of the three big Mountain ranges, including Yandang Mountain. In the series of the three big Mountain ranges, the Dafang Sect has quite a bit of rallying power. However, in the context of the entire ancient martial arts world, it is very ordinary."
Wang Yinru forced a smile and hid her sadness.
Although the Dafang Sect was considered a big sect, in the context of the huge ancient martial arts world, it was very ordinary. There were many ancient martial arts influences that were stronger than the Dafang Sect. It was hard to say if they could even be ranked in the top 100.
For example, the Ten Major Ancient Martial Arts Sects might not even be the strongest sects in the ancient martial arts world. There were also some sects that were hidden in the deep mountains and forests, almost never appearing in the world. You basically didn't know how strong they were, so it was hard to judge.
The so-called Ten Major Ancient Martial Arts Sects of the ancient martial arts world were only selected after participating in the Martial Arts Circle Faction Meeting organized by the Huatian Palace. There were still many strong ancient martial arts influences that didn't come to participate in this meeting.
"In the series of the three big Mountain ranges, how many ancient martial arts influences are there?"
Mo Wen asked curiously. The series of the three big Mountain ranges, with Yandang Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, and Kuocang Mountain as the main body, already had so many ancient martial arts influences.
From the looks of it, the ancient martial arts world wasn't small. It was unknown how many ancient martial arts practitioners and strong practitioners were hidden in the world.
"There are many, but it is hard to calculate the exact number. This is because the ancient martial arts influences are changing every day. Perhaps there are 500 ancient martial arts influences today, but tomorrow there will only be 400 or so. After that, there could be another 500 or so. The changes are too big, so it is impossible to be sure. "
The ancient martial arts world wasn't a peaceful world. Every moment was filled with gratitude and resentment. Every day, there were killings and fights.
For those small ancient martial arts influences, they might just be established today, but the next day, they would be destroyed by others. Some sects would be completely destroyed, while others had just been established. So, excluding those big sects that had tens or even hundreds of years of history, the small ancient martial arts influences were changing every day.
"In the series of the three big Mountain ranges, there are four big ancient martial arts influences, and the Dafang Sect is one of them. The four big influences have more than a hundred years of history. With the accumulation of history, their foundations are also very deep, so it's not easy for them to be destroyed. "
Wang Yinru continued to introduce to Mo Wen, "You don't have to pay attention to those small influences. In the series of the three big Mountain ranges, only the four big influences can pose a threat to you. They are Yandang Mountain's Dafang Sect, Tiantai Mountain's Ghost Physicians Hu Clan, Kuocang Mountain's Yanxia Sect, and Cangling Taoist Temple. These four big influences almost all have strong practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm holding the fort. "
