No one spoke in the main hall of the Wu Clan. It was eerily quiet. Everyone could clearly hear their own breathing and the breathing of others.
Clearly, the upper echelons of the Wu Clan were silently reflecting or waiting for the arrival of others, such as Despot.
In fact, the upper echelons of the Wu Clan were waiting for Despot's arrival. When Despot entered Wu City, the Wu Clan's scouts had already sent the news back.
In order to put Despot in his place, Wu Sangui immediately ordered the two strongest Elders of the Wu Clan and some top experts to come to the main hall and wait.
Despot followed the Wu Clan's guard through the huge Wu Clan Residence for nearly an hour and finally arrived at the entrance of the Wu Clan's main hall.
The Wu Clan's guard stopped and greeted the guards at the entrance. Then, he turned to Despot and said respectfully:
"Lord Blacksky, my Clan Leader has been waiting for you in the main hall for a long time. This lowly one's status is too low to enter the main hall, so I can't lead you in. Please!"
"Waiting for me for a long time?" Despot was slightly taken aback, but then he sneered in his heart: Wu Sangui, this old bastard, waiting in the main hall so early is definitely not to welcome me. He's probably trying to put me in my place?
Despot stepped into the Wu Clan's main hall and saw Wu Sangui, Wu Fuqiang, and Wu Chunxiang sitting in the innermost part of the hall. He couldn't help but be shocked and thought to himself: What a grand lineup!
Facing the three leaders of the Wu Clan, Despot's expression became incomparably respectful. He had no choice, any one of them was stronger than him. The strong were respected, and he had no choice but to bow his head.
Whoosh.
As soon as Despot entered the main hall, twenty-one pairs of eyes turned to him. Their gazes were like lightning, and their auras were extraordinary.
Clatter, clatter, clatter.
Despot cursed under his breath and began to walk in, withstanding the immense pressure.
Knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, one had to go there. Despot had already mentally prepared himself to be extorted by the Wu Clan.
When Wu Sangui first saw Despot, he glanced at Despot's empty right arm. He felt a sense of schadenfreude in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Wu Sangui was the patriarch of the Wu Clan, one of the Twelve Great Clans of the Central Plains. His status was honorable, so he naturally had to maintain a noble and dignified appearance in front of others. Otherwise, others would look down on him behind his back.
Despot quickly arrived in the middle of the two rows of Wu Family experts. Without hesitation, he knelt on one knee and respectfully greeted Wu Sangui, "Subordinate Despot pays his respects to the three Lords."
Although Despot was the Lord of Black Sky Prefecture, his status could not be compared to Wu Sangui and the other two. He could only refer to himself as a subordinate. Otherwise, he would be offending his superiors.
Wu Sangui was very satisfied with Despot's attitude and actions. After exchanging glances with Wu Dafu and Wu Chunxiang, he looked back at Despot and said:
"Despot, no need to be so polite. Stand up and talk."
"Thank you, milord." Despot thanked Wu Sangui and stood up. He raised his head slightly and looked into Wu Sangui's eyes.
"Lord Wu, may I know why Lord Wu has summoned me? If there's anything you need me to do, please don't hesitate to instruct me. I'll do my best. "
Wu Sangui didn't immediately get down to business. Instead, he looked at Despot's right shoulder and pretended to be surprised.
"Despot, what happened to your right hand? What, what's going on? Who did this to you? Tell this Lord, this Lord will help you! "
Hypocrite!
Playing dumb!
Still asking despite knowing the answer!
"Thank you for your concern, Lord."
Despot fiercely despised Wu Sangui's pretentious hypocrisy in his heart. His face revealed a trace of gratitude as he angrily said:
"A few days ago, this subordinate chased after two villains. In the end, I was careless and was ambushed by the two villains. I lost my right arm. This subordinate fought back and finally defeated the strong enemy. Unfortunately, the two villains had reinforcements and rescued the two villains. Sigh."
"Such a thing actually happened?!"
Wu Sangui's right hand slapped the armguard of his chair. He suddenly stood up and pretended to be filled with righteous indignation. He spoke on behalf of Despot: "Despot, tell me the identities of those two villains. This Lord will help you!"
"Thank … thank you for your concern, Lord!" Despot pretended to be deeply grateful. In his heart, he despised the hypocritical Wu Sangui even more. However, he did not realize that he himself was also a hypocrite.
After sorting out his thoughts, Despot began to tell everything about Xiao Chen.
"Lord, the ones who caused me to lose my right arm were a young man from the Domain Continent and a Demonic Lion. The young man's name is Xiao Chen. He is about 20 years old and has a very good cultivation. He should have reached Lv 2 of the Earth Dragon Realm …"
"A 20-year-old expert of Lv 2 of the Earth Dragon Realm? Despot, are you kidding me? "A somewhat arrogant young man's voice came from behind Despot, interrupting his story.
Despot frowned slightly and looked back unhappily. He saw a man in his early thirties, dressed in luxurious clothes, walking over with two other relatively young men.
"So it's the three most outstanding young masters of the Wu family." Despot recognized the three young men and said respectfully: "Despot greets the three young masters."
Despot was so polite to the three young masters, not because he was afraid of them, but because he was afraid of the Wu family behind them. Therefore, he still had to put on a good show.
The one who spoke just now was the eldest young master of the Wu family, Wu Yue. The two young men behind him were the fourth young master, Wu Jian, and the seventh young master, Wu Jie.
Wu Yue, Wu Jian, and Wu Jie were the most outstanding young masters of the younger generation of the Wu family. The other four young masters had average qualifications and could not enter the hall of elegance.
No matter where a warrior was or what family they were in, the strong were respected. Wu Yue and the other two were outstanding among the younger generation of the Wu family. Naturally, their status in the Wu family was higher than that of the other young masters.
Therefore, Wu Yue and the other two dared to walk into the hall at will without asking for permission. This was their superior status.
"Hmm."
Wu Yue was very satisfied with Despot's attitude. He walked to Despot's side and bowed to the three magnates in an elegant junior's salute. He said respectfully:
"Grandson Wu Yue greets Grandpa, Second Grandpa, and Third Aunt. I wish you happiness and longevity."
It turned out that Wu Sangui was Wu Yue's grandfather. With this relationship, Wu Yue's status in the Wu family rose even higher.
"Grandson Wu Jian greets Grandpa, Grandpa, and Third Aunt. I wish you happiness and longevity." Wu Jian and Wu Jie bowed to the three magnates of the Wu family. It turned out that they were all Wu Dafu's grandsons.
"You may rise. Thank you." Wu Sangui said with satisfaction. He doted on Wu Yue and the other two, especially his grandson Wu Yue. It could be said that he spoiled him, so Wu Yue's arrogant character was cultivated.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Wu Yue and the other two thanked him one after another. They straightened their backs and turned to look at Despot.
Wu Yue asked again, "Despot, what's that bumpkin's name again? Oh right, it seems to be Xiao Chen? Are you sure that bumpkin's cultivation has reached the second level of the Earth Dragon Realm? Also, can he really fuse with that lion demonic beast and become a powerful monster? "
"Great Young Master Wu, I guarantee in the name of the Black Sky Prefecture Master that every word I said is the truth. Moreover, there were many powerhouses of the Black Sky Prefecture present at the scene. I, Despot, can't fake it even if I wanted to," Despot replied without changing his expression.
In fact, Despot was very unhappy with the arrogant Wu Yue. If it wasn't for the Wu family behind Wu Yue, he would have smashed Wu Yue to pieces. How could he tolerate a brat at the peak of the third level of the Earth Dragon Realm questioning him so arrogantly?
Wu Yue was 31 years old and had reached the peak of the third level of the Earth Dragon Realm. This kind of cultivation talent was the best among the young masters of the Wu family, but it was only above average in the entire Central Prefecture.
The Central Prefecture was vast and filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Not to mention the four major families and the 12 major families, it was inevitable that there would be some talented young martial artists in the other countless families.
"Yue 'er, leave the questioning to Grandpa. You just listen on the side."
Wu Sangui stopped Wu Yue who was about to continue questioning Despot. He looked at Despot and asked casually,
