The next day after sending the letter, Wang Gu came back in high spirits.
Putting down the chaos in the Northern Territory in one fell swoop not only allowed him to appear in front of senior officials of the Wang family, but also gave him strong self-confidence.
At this time, Wang Gu looked energetic and full of energy, like a sword out of his body.
"Brother, it seems that you have gained a lot in the past few months. When I first saw you, I thought it was my father coming. You are so powerful."
Wang Xu came up to him with a smile on his face and grabbed Wang Gu's arm. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.
Upon hearing this conversation, the diners in the restaurant stopped their chopsticks one after another.
When they come to Taihe Restaurant for dinner, they naturally don't know who the boss is. Regardless of whether they recognize Wang Gu or not, when they see Wang Xu calling him "big brother", they know who is here.
"Wang Gu, is this the one who pacified the 138 cities in the Northern Territory?"
A diner who didn't know Wang Gu and had just arrived at the King's City asked the people around him.
The person being questioned looked at Wang Gu for a few times and said in a low voice: "You can't be wrong. Looking at this momentum, he is faintly superior to the younger generation. I am afraid that only such a genius can pacify the cities in the northern region with one blow.
?”
"Yes, the one hundred and thirty-eight cities in the Northern Territory, my dear, Wang Gu actually defeated them with one blow. It sounds like a myth."
"Extraordinary people have their own extraordinary things. What you can't do doesn't mean that others can't do it. It seems that my Wang family is going to have another dragon."
"Shenlong, huh, I don't think he is like his younger brother. He looks like a dragon, but is actually an insect."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Are you looking for trouble?"
It was noon at this time, and there were many people eating in Taihe Restaurant.
As soon as Wang Gu appeared, he was like an ordinary person meeting a celebrity in later generations, and he immediately grabbed all the topics.
"Brother, you have become a celebrity now, and you will probably be recognized by everyone when you walk on the street." Wang Xu also heard everyone's comments, and automatically ignored those who said grapes were sour, and jokingly told Wang Xu
Gu joked.
"A little false reputation, nothing worth mentioning."
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Wang Gu became more cheerful and gave people a sense of majesty.
It's no wonder, cultivation is the courage of a monk, and the seventh level and the sixth level are the dividing line. Since the Wang family has a big family and great business, the seventh level is also an elder.
Further up, in addition to the eighth-level core elders, there is also the Wu Zhan Emperor, the backbone of the Wang family. The seventh-level elders are already countless figures, and among the side branches, they are even more like family heads.
Wang Gu's cultivation reached the seventh level, which also means that he is equal to ordinary elders in terms of status.
In addition, he is still a younger generation, his potential has not been exhausted, and other elders dare not offend him. Only at this point can he be called a genius.
As for going higher, reaching the eighth level Dou Sheng.
It has basically reached the pinnacle of the secular world. At present, the Soul Palace and the nine major forces are maintaining restraint. Dou Sheng level masters cannot easily come out. The seventh level is the conventional force active in the secular world.
Looking at the world, there are no more than thirty people of the younger generation with this kind of cultivation, scattered among the nine major forces. There are only three or four in a large force, and each one is a leader in the future.
"Third brother, I have sent a message to your second sister. She will be here soon. Then the three of us brothers will have a drink together and discuss the future path." Wang Gu returned to the family secret realm first this time.
Wang Xu, who came later, had plenty of time.
Wang Xu nodded lightly. He could see that Wang Gu had something to say, and it was not a trivial matter, otherwise he would not have called Wang Shuang specifically.
Sure enough, without half a stick of incense, Wang Shuang also arrived at the restaurant, with a solemn look on his face.
The three of them took a seat in the private room. Before even a chopstick was touched on the table full of delicacies, Wang Gu spoke first: "This time I went to the Northland and found that my previous ideas were too optimistic. Before, I thought that the nine major forces would join forces.
, you will never be at a disadvantage against the Soul Palace.
This time I went out to take a look and found that the Soul Palace actually opened nine battlefields, corresponding to the four major families of the Wang family, the Li family, the Zhao family, and the Liu family. There are also five battlefields corresponding to the Tianlan Sect, Yaowang Pavilion, and Goddess.
Palace, War Temple, Ice and Fire Island.
What's even more frightening is that in the nine battlefields, the Soul Palace has more wins than defeats. According to this trend, the Soul Palace is fully capable of wiping out any force in a short period of time.
Even if the nine major forces put aside their grudges and unite, they may not be able to resist the nine war zones of the Soul Palace. The strength comparison between the two sides is not evenly divided, but a four-six start.
There are four of us and six of the Soul Palace. The reason why they don't take action is just because they are worried about too many casualties."
"What do you mean, brother?"
Wang Shuang raised her head and looked at Wang Gu, and Wang Xu's eyes also moved over.
Wang Gu was silent for a moment and then said: "Second sister, after experiencing the incident in the cities of the Northern Territory, I found that not only our Wang family, but also other forces have similar situations. Under the seemingly calm water, there are actually undercurrents surging.
I hope you can ask Granny Liu for instructions and get a hermitage order to stop going out during this period.
With the retreat order, the tasks assigned by the family will not fall on you. In the next period of time, you will practice hard in seclusion on the grounds of improving your cultivation, and you can come out again when the noise outside has subsided."
"Brother, is this necessary?"
Wang Shuang could not sympathize with what Wang Gu said. Normally, the children of the Wang family had different tasks based on their different cultivation levels.
Sixth-level monks have to take on a family mission once a year, or mediate disputes between small forces in the territory, or sit on important family properties, or hunt down criminals who commit crimes in the territory, or go out to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
This kind of task is one of the ways for the children of the Wang family to repay the family. The Wang family does not need monks who only ask for money. If you use the family's resources to practice, you must give back to the family's strength.
Generally speaking, sixth-level disciples carry out missions once a year, seventh-level elders carry out missions once every ten years, and eighth-level core elders carry out missions once a hundred years. They are all unavoidable.
The only special situation is that you have improved your cultivation and should not act rashly before you can receive the retreat talisman. You can put the task on hold for the time being and wait until you are released from the retreat.
From what Wang Gu meant, it was clear that he wanted her to use the excuse of seclusion to avoid going out.
This made Wang Shuang, who had always been arrogant and did not think that she was inferior to men, very unhappy.
"Before a storm comes, the first thing to notice is always the ants. They are too weak and will face destruction every time the storm comes. Now, we are just these little ants. We can do nothing in front of the storm. The only thing we can do is
All you have to do is protect yourself.
The Soul Palace is a behemoth, and I dare not say what I can do in front of it.
You are only at the beginning of the sixth level now, and you are not even considered cannon fodder in this game. Instead of being a hero for a moment, it is better to stay useful for the future."
Wang Gu said it very straightforwardly, for fear that Wang Shuang would be motivated.
Wang Shuang frowned slightly. In her mind, how could Wang Guzheng say such depressing words when he was so high-spirited and contemptuous of all directions?
"Brother, aren't you scared anymore?" Wang Shuang asked in disbelief.
Wang Gu was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Yes, I am afraid, and you should be afraid too. It is not shameful to be afraid, but it is shameful not to know how to be reverent."
Wang Gu didn't say anything. When he passed by the control area of the Soul Palace, he found that the monks and residents living in the control area of the Soul Palace looked at him with hostility when they heard that he was from the Wang family.
You know, the Soul Palace is an intruder.
After so many years of confrontation, it has been revealed that the Soul Palace monks may come from outside the region and are not local monks.
Can you imagine that the Japanese invaded the Central Plains, and the people were grateful to the Japanese, but full of hatred towards the regular army of the Central Plains?
Wang Gu not only imagined it, he also saw it with his own eyes. Because of this, he understood the horror of the Soul Palace.
The real terrifying thing about the Soul Palace is that it can not only suppress the nine major forces, but also turn the occupied area into its own, allowing the monks and ordinary people in the occupied area to accept it.
This is very scary. Without a mass base, no matter how strong the Soul Palace is, it will still be rootless.
And with a mass base, it can take root and sprout here. The longer it takes, not only will it not be able to cause harm to the Soul Palace, but it will become stronger.
This is a man-eating tiger, and even if the cub is like this, when it grows up, it will have no way for everyone to survive.
