The Cultivation Families within three hundred miles of the Changchun Sect were many, with most of them dependent on the Sect for their survival.
Among these families, some Family Heads or Ancestors had once been executives in the Changchun Sect, but after being disillusioned with the likelihood of attaining the Golden Core and eternal life, they left the Sect to get married and spawn offspring.
The Wu Family was a case in point. They had no Family Head or Ancestor who had held a position within the Sect. However, their descendants had been disciples of the Changchun sect and had also recommended outstanding personnel to join the sanctum. Hence, they were trusted by the Changchun Sect owing to their well-understood origins and backgrounds.
Before returning to the Sect, Chen Dengming first visited the Wu Family and met with Wu Yongwang, their Family Head.
Given his current status, he had once been a high-ranking servant in the Wu Family and had parted from them on good terms.
