Although it is only a second-rate family in the Damiao Dynasty, the Hao family in Taiping City can be considered a large family. After a hundred years of development, the entire family's influence now spreads almost throughout Taiping City.
According to Hao Ren, his ancestor also had a powerful Taoist figure. Because martial arts was hopeless, he finally chose to settle down in Taiping City and eventually developed into a small family.
Of course, today's martial arts family like the Hao family is no longer what it was a hundred years ago. More than a hundred years ago, the Hao family had not only one Daotai ancestor, but also several elders in the Five Elements Divine Realm.
Nowadays, the entire Hao family has reached the level of Supreme Elder in the Five Elements Realm, and there are only two of them. Even the family elders in the Yin and Yang Realm are not many in number, and the current patriarch is only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
Of course, this level of plane is considered very high in the eyes of ordinary secular people, but in the eyes of Tang Feng and others, it is far behind, far from being comparable to the power of the sects on the mountain.
The Hao family occupies a vast manor, west of Taiping City, generally backed by mountains, with the not-so-wide Taiping River flowing through on the left, and a small tributary flowing into the manor, with a good layout.
Hao Ren notified his family as soon as he landed from the flying boat, so when he arrived at the main entrance, all senior members of the Hao family were already waiting outside the gate to welcome him.
It's normal if you think about it carefully. Although Hao Ren didn't do well in the Xuanwu Sect, generally speaking, the Xuanwu Sect still belongs to one of the eight major sects in Pan Asia, and its status seems to be transcendent in the eyes of the world.
So when it was heard that Hao Ren had returned and brought two direct disciples of the sect to help out, the entire Hao family was shocked, and even the two Supreme Elders of the Five Elements God Realm who were in seclusion came out of seclusion.
Fortunately, the entrance of the Hao family is spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people standing there without being crowded. In addition, because the Hao family is expected to release the news of Hao Ren's return, many people from near and far have come.
Watching this excitement, of course, it also includes the secret whistles of the other two major families in Taiping City.
The arrival of the direct disciples of the Xuanwu Sect was indeed enough to cause quite a stir in Taiping City. Therefore, when the Hao family saw Hao Ren and others from a distance, they immediately stepped forward to welcome them.
"Father, I'm back!" Hao Ren saw an old man with gray hair who was slightly ahead from a distance, his voice choked with excitement that could not be concealed.
Although he didn't do well in the Xuanwu Sect, and even received cold looks from other Fengmai disciples from time to time, his home was still a haven from the wind, and Hao Ren had to feel complicated.
Hao Ren's father is a thin old man. His realm is not very high. He is also only at the Golden Core realm. Therefore, he is not even considered an elder in the Hao family, but can only be regarded as a deacon.
"Okay, okay, just come back!" Hao Ren's father, Hao Danong, said three good words in succession.
In addition, behind Hao Danong are two old men with completely white beards and hair. At this level, they can be regarded as hard-core figures. They are the two supreme elders of the Hao family.
"Hao Ren, you are finally back!" The two Supreme Elders said at the same time and nodded to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren didn't recognize these two old people at first. When his father reminded him softly, his expression changed slightly and he immediately handed over his hands: "Junior, I'm paying homage to these two ancestors. How can I, my disciple He De, let these two ancestors do it?"
Come out and greet me in person!”
The two ancestors waved their hands and said: "Xuanwu Sect is one of the eight major sects in Pan Asia. What's more, you have invited two direct disciples of the sect to come here. According to etiquette, we can naturally come up with it."
The two old men didn't make any excuses. The reason why they came out to greet him in person was entirely for the sake of the two direct disciples of the Xuanwu Sect. As for Hao Ren, he didn't have that much respect.
Of course, it would be another matter if Hao Ren himself could become a direct disciple of the Xuanwu Sect.
Hao Ren knew this very well, and of course he also knew how much he weighed, so he was not angry and just asked: "By the way, where is the patriarch?"
Hao Danong explained for him: "The patriarch's illness has become more and more serious recently, and he can no longer get out of bed. Originally, he wanted to come out in person, but I dissuaded him later."
Hao Ren nodded and immediately said: "By the way, these two ancestors, let me introduce them to you. These two are direct disciples of the Xuanwu Sect. He is Tang Feng, and he is also a fellow disciple of our Turtle Back Peak."
"The other one is called Gai Jiuyou. He was originally the son of Gai Zhantian from the Great Wilderness Dynasty. The other two are the two junior brothers of Ge Wuyou and Luming."
As for Ge Wuyou and Lu Ming, Hao Ren simply ignored them. After all, they could tell at a glance that these two people were only in the Golden Core realm, and even the realm was lower than Hao Ren.
Therefore, the two ancestors of the Hao family looked directly at Tang Feng and Gai Jiuyou. They cupped their hands and said, "It's such a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect that these two are so young and have already become direct disciples of the Xuanwu Sect. Their talents are of course...
He is truly otherworldly and truly a genius."
"It is truly an honor for us to have these two descendants deign to come here today, and it will make the Hao family shine!"
Tang Feng and Gai Jiuyou cupped their hands at the same time and said, "You two seniors are so complimentary!"
While the two ancestors of the Hao family were talking, they had been looking at Tang Feng and Gai Jiuyou. They soon realized that one of them was only at the third level of the Five Elements Divine Realm, and his level was even lower than them.
The two ancestors couldn't help but think at the same time, the third level of the Five Elements Divine Realm can actually be selected as the direct successor of the sect. When did the threshold of Xuanwu Sect become so low?
Of course, they couldn't ask these words face to face. As for Gai Jiuyou, they couldn't see through it. But since they couldn't see through it, there was only one explanation. He must be a real Taoist power.
After investigation, the attitudes of the two ancestors changed. They no longer paid attention to Tang Feng, but put all their enthusiasm on Gai Jiuyou.
"It turns out to be Young Prince Gai. Although we are citizens of the Miao Dynasty, we have heard about Prince Gai's meritorious achievements. After being a famous general, it's no wonder that his talent is so extraordinary."
"With a talent like Prince Gai's, who has become a powerful Taoist at a young age, his future achievements in martial arts are bound to be limitless. Sooner or later, he will reach the top of the world's martial arts pyramid, and he may even become a Taoist ancestor."
The two ancestors praised Gai Jiuyou so much that they almost brought him to heaven, but they selectively ignored Tang Feng.
Gai Jiuyou also saw it, which made him a little bit dumbfounded. In fact, he was the only one who knew that although Tang Feng was at a lower level and had not yet built his own Taoist platform, he might not be able to compete with Tang Feng in terms of debate power.
Feng wants to compete.
Originally, he wanted to say that he was just a foil during this trip and Tang Feng was the focus, but he couldn't say this in such a situation.
Gai Jiuyou could only say: "What the two seniors said is true. Although the junior has some talent, he still has some self-awareness. How can he be called a genius?"
"Young Prince Gai is so humble, please come in quickly!" the two ancestors said, bowing and waving their hands in the word "invite".
Seeing this, Gai Jiuyou didn't have much to say. He shook his head helplessly and walked inside first.
Of course, Tang Feng saw clearly the change in attitude of these two ancestors. Of course, he didn't bother to care about it. He even found it a bit funny. He shook his head slightly and followed Gai Jiuyou with a smile.
