Jiangbei Daomen, strictly speaking, is not a sect, but a loose organization.
As early as the 1970s and 1980s, the Wu family took the lead and united most of the wealthy families in Jiangbei to organize an alliance. Its core purpose was to share interests within the circle, prevent internal confrontation, and at the same time work together with the outside world.
After decades of ups and downs, Jiangbei Daomen has now become a behemoth, and its power is terrifying and beyond anyone's imagination.
At the beginning, there were many wealthy families in Jiangbei who resisted. However, under the constant pressure from the Taoist sect, these wealthy families gradually became lonely and even withdrew from Jiangbei.
This has resulted in a situation where the Dao Sect is the dominant family. However, in recent years, a new force has suddenly emerged in Jiangbei, and it is vaguely possible to compete with the Dao Sect.
This force hidden in the dark is rumored to be called the Xuanyin Sect. The people in this sect usually behave very strangely, and the members are also very skilled in martial arts and are even good at using poison.
The Taoist sect once strangled him, but failed without success after injuring the three elders. From this, it can be seen that this Xuanyin sect's power is also very terrifying.
This is also one of the reasons why the Wu family is eager to win Tang Feng into the Taoist sect, because the Wu family has found out that the Xuanyin sect is likely to be related to the Gusu Murong family in Tiannan Province.
Tang Feng didn't know much about these things about the Taoist sect, and he didn't care much about it. The reason why he agreed to join the Taoist sect was just to make things easier for him in Jiangbei.
The hall was grand and grand, and the four worshipers looked indifferent. Until Tang Feng walked into the hall, the four of them remained silent. They even sat there without moving, let alone getting up to greet them.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the Taoist priests have extremely high remuneration, and the cake is only so big in total. Now that new priests have joined in, their original benefits will naturally be divided.
If the four major worshipers don't move, the eight elders below will naturally not get up. In fact, the identities of these eight elders are the heads of various wealthy families in Jiangbei.
Tang Feng walked into the standing hall. Since these people didn't move, he certainly wouldn't take the initiative to speak.
The scene was not only a little awkward, but the atmosphere was even a little tense. Wu Shenlong came over, shrugged and smiled and said: "Everyone, let me introduce you. This is the new worshiper who has joined. His name is Tang Feng."
Speaking of this, he seemed to want to ease the awkward atmosphere, and suddenly laughed loudly and said: "From now on, our Taoist sect will no longer have four major offerings, but five major offerings. Everyone is welcome!"
No one welcomed him, and no one moved, especially the old monk sitting above and on the left, wearing a white robe with a ring scar on his head. He suddenly said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu, I don't understand something. I wonder if I can do anything for you."
May I clarify your doubts?"
This old monk is the master of the four major Taoist sects and Wu Shaokang's master. At the same time, he was once a disciple of the inner sect of Shaoshi Mountain, but for unknown reasons, he quit Shaolin and came to Jiangbei.
Wu Shenlong was not overly impressed by Master Wu Ming. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Wu Ming, I don't understand anything, but there's no harm in explaining it."
Master Wu Ming sat there, glanced sideways at Tang Feng, and said coldly: "Logically speaking, our Jiangbei Taoist Sect was organized by the old head of the Wu family, with the purpose of providing advice to the wealthy Jiangbei nobles in our Taoist Sect.
Welfare, it was originally ordered by Patriarch Wu to invite new worshipers, so we should not have any objections."
When he said this, he suddenly paused and said in a deep voice: "But today's Taoist sect involves all the wealthy families. Even the Wu family can't arbitrarily decide the world. Whoever you want to join can join. If this is the case,
Aren’t other wealthy nobles dissatisfied?”
Wu Shenlong frowned, with a bit of displeasure on his face. If it weren't for the fact that Master Wuming and the old Patriarch Wu were old acquaintances, plus his status as an inner disciple of Shaoshi Mountain, he might have shouted coldly on the spot.
Sounded.
Originally, Wu Shenlong thought that since it was the order given by the old family master, the other four major worshippers would not dare to disobey even if they were dissatisfied. But now it seems that things are not so easy.
Thinking of this, Wu Shenlong smiled slightly and said: "So, is it possible that Master Wuming is dissatisfied with the arrangement of the old master and disagrees with his will?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the other three worshippers, and then said: "As for the three worshippers, do they also disagree and disobey the old family's arrangement?"
It has to be said that Wu Shenlong spoke sharply. He took down such a big hat as the head of the old family. How could the four major worshipers sit down? A tall and thin old man on the left wearing a sky blue gown said quickly: "We are not dissatisfied.
Patriarch Wu’s arrangement is just a bit unclear.”
Wu Shenlong asked: "Can Su Gongfeng understand that?"
The tall, thin old man named Su Zongfeng is named Su Changkong, and he is the contemporary head of the famous Su family in Jiangbei.
Su Changkong glanced at Tang Feng and said: "Originally, we didn't dare to have any objections to the arrangement of Patriarch Wu, but this man named Tang Feng is too young. If I read it right, this person is probably only two years old."
At the age of ten, is it a bit childish to ask him to be the worshiper of our Taoist sect?"
The other two priests nodded and said: "Su Gongfeng's words are reasonable. Except for Master Wuming, the inner disciple of Shaoshi Mountain, the other three of our four major priests are all heads of wealthy families in Jiangbei. They were also considered to be following the Wu family back then.
Having founded the Taoist Sect single-handedly, I can be considered a veteran."
"But this man named Tang Feng is too young, and the strength of our Jiangbei Dao Sect requires at least a Huajin Grandmaster. Do you dare to ask if this Tang Feng can meet this requirement?"
Master Wu Ming finally said coldly: "I think we should give Mr. Wu a face and ask him to be the elder. From now on, our Jiangbei Dao Sect will be the nine elders."
Su Changkong immediately nodded and said: "Yes, at his current age, being the guardian elder of our Jiangbei Dao Sect is considered an exceptional promotion, right?"
"Let Tang Feng be the guardian elder of the Taoist sect?" Wu Shenlong smiled, shook his head and said, "So after you said so much, you are doubting Master Tang's strength?"
Su Changkong said: "Don't we have any reason to doubt? He is so young after all."
In the entire Jiangbei, although the Wu family is still the dominant one and controls the entire Taoist sect, over the years, as the head of the Wu family has grown older, it has begun to decline.
As the second largest family in Jiangbei, the Su family inevitably has some thoughts. After all, the Su family is now growing in power and controls the military and political power in Jiangbei. Naturally, they don't want to see the Wu family covering the sky with one hand.
Wu Shenlong said nothing more. The Su family resisted the Wu family's arrangement of new offerings. He had obviously thought of this for a long time. He turned his head slightly, looked at Tang Feng who was standing in the field, and asked: "Master Tang, they are doubting your strength.
