"Ghost Physicians Hu Clan."
Mo Wen blinked his eyes. He had never heard of other sects, but he knew a little about this Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. Not long ago, he had bought the Fruitless Flower in the Huatian Palace Free Trade Zone from the shop run by the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan.
It was said that the people in this clan were proficient in medical skills and had the ability to cure people. In the secular world, almost all of them were miracle doctors.
"That Hu Clan is an ancient martial arts aristocratic family, a semi-hidden ancient martial arts influence. At the same time, it is also one of the eight big aristocratic families in the ancient martial arts world, but its ranking is not high. However, the Hu Clan's medical skills are unique. In the ancient martial arts world, there are very few medical families that can compare. Although its reputation is not as good as the Medicine Manor, in terms of medical skills, it can be ranked in the top ten in the ancient martial arts world. "
There were not many influences in the ancient martial arts world that were proficient in medical skills and alchemy, but every one of them was very popular. At least among the eight big ancient martial arts aristocratic families in Hua Xia, other than the top three aristocratic families, the most famous was the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. Usually, many people hoped to have a relationship with the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan.
After all, who had not experienced birth, old age, sickness, and death? Especially for the people of the ancient martial arts world, injuries were a common occurrence. There were some injuries that were difficult to cure, and might even affect one's entire life. Only those with medical expertise families could heal the injuries.
In the series of the three big mountain ranges, whether it was the Dafang Sect or the Yanxia Sect, they tried their best not to offend the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan and tried their best to rope them in.
As the two of them conversed, the Sect Leader Selection Meeting began.
"Thank you, heroes, for coming from afar to participate in our sect's Sect Leader Selection Meeting …"
Sect Leader Jiang Qinghong walked up to the stage. After a speech, it was time to worship the ancestors. Every time before the Sect Leader Selection Meeting, there would be a worship meeting to show respect to the ancestors.
The guests who came to the Dafang Sect were naturally not interested in this, so they sat in their seats drowsily. Things like the ceremony were not only long, but also extremely boring, but they had to come to socialize.
At the front of the VIP seats, there were three areas, which were for the other three big influences in the series of the three big mountain ranges: the Yanxia Sect, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan, and the Cangling Taoist Temple.
At this moment, there were four to five people seated at the seats of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. The one leading them was a middle-aged man with a calm and steady aura. His eyes were full of vigor, and from the aura he emitted, one could tell that he was very powerful.
Beside the middle-aged man sat a young man. His expression was stern and his aura was icy cold, like a block of ice. His entire body was filled with a dense killing intent, as if one could smell the scent of blood just by standing beside him. With a single glance, one could tell that this person had a heavy killing intent.
If Mo Wen saw this person, he would definitely recognize him immediately. He was the Northern Devil Hu Qiongqi! If it wasn't his roommate, who else could it be?
"I heard that there was an accident in the Dafang Sect. Someone came knocking on their door. I'm afraid there will be a disturbance in this Sect Leader Selection Assembly."
Hu Qiongqi glanced at his father beside him. Even though he was talking to his father, his voice was still very cold.
"Wang Yinru of the Wang Clan. That girl from back then has returned."
A complicated look flashed in the eyes of Hu Qiongqi's father, Hu Guiyuan. There seemed to be an indescribable feeling in his heart. The woman from back then had actually appeared again twenty years later. Moreover, her Cultivation had broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm.
"A member of the Wang Clan. Could it be that the Wang Clan wasn't completely annihilated back then?" A look of surprise flashed in Hu Qiongqi's eyes. Although he was only a few years old when the tragedy happened in the Wang Clan, as an ancient martial art practitioner in the series of the three big Mountain ranges, he naturally knew some things that happened back then.
"Only one member of the direct line of descent didn't die, and that was Wang Yinru." Hu Guiyuan sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Let bygones be bygones. "
Hu Qiongqi's lips twitched into a rare smile. He rarely saw his father with such a melancholic expression.
"What do you know?" Hu Guiyuan glanced at Hu Qiongqi and didn't speak anymore.
"Why don't I know? Isn't that Wang Yinru your dream lover back then? The uncles in the family have already told me. It was said that after my mother passed away, grandfather requested you to marry another woman, but you refused no matter what. In the end, one time when you came to the Dafang Sect to handle some matters, you met the unmarried Wang Yinru of the Wang Clan by chance. You fell in love with her at first sight. Not only did you fall in love at first sight, you even shamelessly asked grandfather to go to the Wang Clan to propose marriage. "
Hu Qiongqi chuckled. He knew his father's trivial matters back then like the back of his hand.
"Brat, what do you know? That was just something that happened back then." Hu Guiyuan glared at Hu Qiongqi fiercely and looked to the side awkwardly.
"Why don't I know? Who in the clan doesn't know about what happened to you back then? In the beginning, you thought that you were very "romantic" and went to pursue the young lady of the Wang Clan. In the end, you were defeated at every turn. She didn't take you seriously at all. Later on, you even wanted to ask grandfather for help. In the end, before grandfather could bring this matter up to the Wang Clan, the Wang Clan met with misfortune. Hehe, at that time, you thought that Wang Yinru was dead, so you locked yourself in your room and cried for three days and three nights. Don't think that I don't know about it. "
Hu Qiongqi's expression was strange. His father was a serious and old-fashioned person. Normally, there wasn't any gossip that was worthy of others' attention. However, the matter of him pursuing Wang Yinru back then had almost become a joke in the Hu Clan after meals.
"Sigh, it's all in the past. After several decades, her son has already grown up. What's the point of talking about that?"
Hu Guiyuan sighed and smiled bitterly.
"Father, that Wang Yinru once again returned to the Dafang Sect for no other reason than to seek revenge. Back then, during the massacre of the Jiang Clan, the relationship between her and the Jiang Clan was like a dead end. If you can help her, maybe she will still consider your kindness."
Hu Qiongqi smiled. Although his father had taught him a lot and he respected his father very much, there was one thing that he despised about his father. That was his cowardice and indecisiveness. Although he pretended to be very serious on the surface and usually seemed to mean what he said, that was just his pretense. However, that was just his disguise. If something really happened, he would definitely be the first to panic.
Back then, if he had been a little braver, disregarded so many considerations, stood up to protect Wang Yinru in times of danger, and dared to make an enemy of the Jiang Clan, perhaps Wang Yinru would have become his beautiful wife by now. He wouldn't be lamenting and sighing now.
"How can I help her? Don't tell me I am making an enemy of the Jiang Clan? I don't even have the current Cultivation of the Embryonic Breathing realm? "
Hu Guiyuan's face was stiff, and both his fists were tightly clenched. He seemed to be very angry, but his eyes were very rational, or rather, timid.
"Are you so afraid of the Jiang Clan? Don't you still have the Hu Clan behind you? With the Hu Clan around, what are you afraid of? "
Hu Qiongqi sneered. He understood his father's character very well. He was just finding an excuse. He simply didn't dare to take on the risk of making an enemy of the Jiang Clan.
"You don't understand. You have no idea how powerful the Jiang Clan is. Do you think that the Wang Clan's annihilation back then was a coincidence? Also, do you think that things will be so simple? How much will the price of a battle between two big clans be? Just because of my own selfishness, the Hu Clan will fall into chaos and crisis? "
"No matter when, as a member of the Hu Clan, we must put the clan's interests first."
Hu Guiyuan took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Do you know why grandfather has never passed the position of the clan leader to you? Why did he say that he would rather wait until I die of old age and grow up completely before passing the position to me after skipping a generation? "
Hu Qiongqi looked deeply at his father. There was one more sentence that he didn't say: Because you don't have guts. If a man didn't have guts, how could he be qualified to be the clan leader?
Hu Guiyuan couldn't answer his son's question. He just let out a long sigh. Like a deflated ball, he slumped on the chair and slowly closed his eyes.
He was old and didn't act like a young man. He didn't have the frivolity of youth. If he knew that the Jiang Clan was very powerful and that making an enemy of that powerful existence would put him in danger of death and even bring danger to the clan, he definitely wouldn't do it.
Back then, he had hesitated and didn't dare to take that step. Now, why would he take that step again?
…
"Mo Wen, after the ancestral worship ceremony, the Sect Leader Selection Preliminary will begin. You will compete with the strong young men of the other four clans. Whether you can succeed or not depends on you."
With the passage of time, the main event was finally coming. The purpose of the Sect Leader Selection Meeting was naturally to choose the next Sect Leader. Not only was it very important to the Dafang Sect, but it was also very important to the other ancient martial arts influences.
Once the Sect Leader was chosen, it meant that the person who would hold the power of the Dafang Sect for the next twenty years would be the center of all future contacts and transactions with the Dafang Sect. As for the Sect Leader of the Dafang Sect, those ancient martial arts influences didn't care much about them. That was because those kinds of people usually lived in seclusion and practiced hard. They didn't hold the power of the sect, so they didn't have any interest in it.
"What are the rules for the Sect Leader Selection?"
Mo Wen said after pondering for a while. If the Dafang Sect Leader Selection was done through an election, then it would be almost impossible for him to be chosen. He was a loner, so who would vote for him?
"Based on ability."
Wang Yinru could tell what Mo Wen was thinking at a glance. She couldn't help but smile. "You don't have to worry about anything. With your ability, if you don't go easy on them, they won't be able to win against you."
"Are there any strong practitioners of the Embryonic Breathing realm participating?"
Wang Yinru said. "No, but there might be many strong practitioners of the Qi Nucleation realm."
Wang Yinru pondered for a while, then said slowly, "In fact, I only have confidence in you. If it were any other ancient martial arts practitioner of the Qi Nucleation realm, it would be almost impossible for them to snatch the position of Sect Leader from the Jiang Clan."
"You trust me quite a lot." Mo Wen smiled.
"Of course. You are my precious son. If I don't trust you, who else would I trust?" Wang Yinru said with a smile.
"Be serious. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't be able to snatch the position of Sect Leader." Mo Wen's face turned serious. Wang Yinru was the perfect example of showing off after getting an advantage.
"Look at you, so petty."
Wang Yinru twitched her mouth and continued, "However, you still have to be careful. The Jiang Clan will definitely make things difficult for you in the assessment. They might even have the intention to kill you. You have to be careful and don't fall for their tricks."
