Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Wu Qi smiled slightly.

Clearly, the Yu clan had suffered quite a bit from the Elephant Armor Sect during this period, and these gatekeeper disciples were in a bit of a predicament.

He paused, then stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the mansion. "Is Patriarch Niu Gao here? Wu Qi from Qibao Academy requests an audience."

"Seven Treasures Academy?" The two disciples at the entrance looked at each other.

The two had only heard of Qibao Academy, but didn't have a deep impression of it. At least, the other party wasn't from the Elephant Armor Sect, and they inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

The mansion gate opened a crack, and a disciple of the Imperial Clan peeked out.

"Who are you, and why have you come to my Yu clan?"

Qian Gu Chang Kong stepped forward and approached the disciple.

The latter was startled and asked repeatedly, "W-What do you want to do?"

Wu Qi coughed lightly and said, "Please inform them that Wu Qi from Qibao Academy has come to visit the Yu clan."

The disciple didn't understand the other party's background, but since they had revealed their identity, things would be easier from here on out.

After giving the instructions, the gatekeeper went to report.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Yu clan, Niu Gao sat on a chair with a worried expression.

With the help of the Spirit Hall, the Elephant Armor Sect is rapidly expanding. In order to achieve better results in the upcoming re-election of the seven major sects, Hu Yanzhen has repeatedly invited the Yu Clan to join the Elephant Armor Sect.

To put it nicely, it's joining; to put it bluntly, it's just annexation.

Having finally escaped the clutches of the Haotian Sect, how could the Yu clan easily become someone else's vassal again!

Niu Gao knew that if they refused the Elephant Armor Sect, they would definitely face retaliation and would not be able to stay in Longxing City in the future.

Therefore, he proposed to help the Elephant Armor Sect compete in the Seven Great Sects Re-election Tournament by providing external assistance.

But Huyan Zhen, having already set his sights on this lucrative opportunity, was not about to give up easily. Unsurprisingly, Niu Gao's proposal was rejected. Furthermore, Huyan Zhen had lost patience and issued an ultimatum.

Faced with the prospect of being annexed, Niu Gao first thought of his brothers, who were also from a single-attribute family.

But Yang Wudi and the others have also had a difficult time these past few years.

The Power Clan resides in Tiandou City, and because of their origins, they have faced considerable suppression from local officials.

The Min family suffered even more.

Other families may have other ways to make a living, but their only advantage is speed.

Without their support, their scouts became useless. If it weren't for the aid from the Po clan, the Min clan would probably have perished long ago.

The brothers are all struggling, and Niu Gao feels bad that they have to step in to handle this kind of thing.

Before long, the gatekeeper reported on the situation of Wu Qi and the others.

Niu Gao cursed, "Can't you see I'm really annoyed? Send them away."

At this moment, the middle-aged man sitting next to him couldn't help but say, "Father, you should still meet him."

"Wu Qi of Qibao Academy is the champion of the previous Soul Master Competition and is recognized by the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire as the number one genius of our time."

"Moreover, there are rumors that Wu Qi is a member of the Spirit Hall and holds a high position within the Spirit Hall."

"If the rumors are true, the pressure he can put on the family if we don't meet him will probably far exceed that of the Elephant Armor Sect."

Niu Gao said bitterly, "They're all lackeys of the Spirit Hall, what's the difference!"

However, in order to avoid putting his family in a dilemma, he did not drive Wu Qi away.

At least, compared to the Elephant Armor Sect, Wu Qi knew to knock and have his disciples announce his arrival, unlike the Elephant Armor Sect members who swaggered in. ...

Led by a disciple of the Yu clan, Wu Qi and his group headed to the clan's main hall.

Niu Gao sat at the head of the table, looking at this handsome and capable young man, and felt a pang of emotion.

If their family also produces such a genius, could the family's future reach even greater heights?
"Greetings, Patriarch Niu Gao." Wu Qi and his group bowed slightly as a sign of respect.

Niu Gao didn't exactly dislike them, but he wasn't particularly enthusiastic either. He simply asked indifferently, "When you came to my Yu Clan, did you represent the Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Wu Qi stood upright like a pine tree and calmly replied, "I represent myself."

Niu Gao, seemingly uninterested, casually asked, "So what brings you here? If you need help with the construction project, I'd be happy to talk to you."

Wu Qi sat on a chair to the side, with Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping standing behind him as if they were his guards.

Feng Xiaotian also wanted to sit down, but seeing this situation, he silently stood aside.

Thus, Niu Gao knew that Wu Qi was the leader among the four.

Wu Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I sincerely invite your family to join my Juyi Sect."

The sect's name was chosen by Dugu Bo; it had to be completely unrelated to Wu Qi and also easy to pronounce.

It is clearly inappropriate to name a sect after a person's martial soul. Sects are formed by the union of various families, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a gathering of righteousness.

Wu Qi did not object to this. Dugu Bo was the first sect leader of the sect, and he had the right to name it.

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao was immediately displeased.

First, the Elephant Armor Sect tried to win them over, and now the Gathering Righteousness Sect has appeared. Do they really think the Imperial Clan is easy to bully?

Moreover, what kind of lousy sect is this Juyi Sect? He'd never even heard of it. He even suspected that Wu Qi had just made up a sect's name on the spot in order to annex the Yu clan.

"Boy, if you're making fun of my Yu clan, you'd better get lost before I get angry,"

Wu Qi leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, and said with a smile, "Patriarch Niu Gao, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Why don't you listen to my sincerity first?"

Niu Gao stood up angrily and cursed, "I don't care about your high-sounding excuses for trying to win me over. You just want to annex my Yu clan, right? I, Old Niu, will fight you to the end."

As he spoke, the overwhelming pressure of a Contra-level expert swept towards Wu Qi.

Qian Gu Chang Kong stepped forward, and the martial spirit of the Panlong Staff in his hand appeared. The Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon pattern on the staff became lifelike, and in the next instant, the Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon roared out, its form solidifying into a physical entity.

A dragon roar resounded, and the pressure from the superior martial soul easily neutralized the soul pressure of the plate-armored giant rhinoceros.

Qian Gu Chang Kong carried the Panlong Staff on his shoulder, with the Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon swirling around him, looking incredibly majestic.

"Hey, you old geezer, can't you speak properly?!"

"Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon, Coiling Dragon Staff!" Niu Gao's face immediately darkened.

The Panlong Staff martial spirit itself is not very distinctive, and some knowledgeable soul masters cannot tell the difference between it and the Dragon Pattern Staff.

The main reason is that the Panlong Staff martial spirit is extremely rare, with only a handful of people possessing it across the entire continent, while the Dragon Pattern Staff is more common.

However, the dragon pattern on the dragon-patterned staff is just an ordinary dragon pattern, without anything special about it. But the dragon pattern on the coiled dragon staff is one that will one day transform into a dragon amidst the clouds.

Back when the Clear Sky Sect faced a calamity, Qianjun and Demon-Subduing Douluo were the first to lead the charge.

The strength of those two individuals truly instilled a psychological shadow in the entire Yu clan.

The origins of the other group were self-evident. (End of Chapter)
