Of the eight Emergence from Dust Adepts Patriarch Huangfu had brought, only two were Huangfu Clan disciples, while another two were guest elders of the Huangfu Clan.
The remaining four adepts were all "the descendants of old friends." They had come mainly to broaden their horizons.
This was hardly strange. The Huangfu Clan's True Adepts could not compare with those of the Four Sects and Five Platforms. Not only was their foundation lacking and their resources far inferior, but they were also lone Golden Cores, more than capable of preserving what they had but lacking the strength to advance.
Under such circumstances, of course he needed to stay close to other similar clans so they could watch out for and support one another.
Independent cultivators all said how powerful Golden Core clans were, yet the Huangfu Clan had gone to great lengths to befriend Golden Cores from the Orderless Plane. This showed just how little security they felt.
Patriarch Huangfu had come to Liba Beach this time partly to support Feng Jun, and partly to take the opportunity to interact with the True Adepts of the major sects. Naturally, he had to bring along some potential allies for such an occasion.
Only two Emergence from Dust Adepts from the Huangfu Clan had come, mainly because Patriarch Huangfu was also considering the possibility of a major battle breaking out. The Huangfu Clan had only nine direct-line Emergence from Dust Adepts in total and could not withstand heavy casualties.
In any case, Huangfu Wuxia was responsible for the Huangfu Clan's dealings with Feng Jun. As long as she wished it, she could bring Huangfu Clan disciples to meet Feng Jun at any time. There was no need to join in this excitement right now.
Feng Jun was genuinely courteous toward Patriarch Huangfu.
