After hearing Xiao Chen confirm his identity, Xiao Lin fell silent, as if he was organizing his words and what to say.

"Uncle Qi, what's going on? Is this guy awesome?"

Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and asked.

"Not very awesome, but very awesome!"

Xiao Lin said slowly.

"He is only in his fifties this year, but he is already a master in the late stage of Huajin. I heard... he is only half a step away from reaching the peak of the late stage of Huajin!"

"Um?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. A person in his fifties who is in the late stage of transforming energy? This is really awesome.

But when he thought about Xiao Lin again, he felt that it was not unacceptable.

"Uncle Qi, then you are not bad at all. You are much younger than him, only two small realms behind you. When you are over fifty years old, you will definitely be at the peak of the late stage of Huajin or even... the Great Perfection of Huajin!"

"No, the further back you go in the small realm of energy, the more difficult it is to cross... Maybe a small realm can block people for ten years!"

Xiao Lin's voice was very serious.

"How many geniuses, in the early stage of cultivation, practice as fast as a rocket, and they reach Huajin smoothly... But once they step into Huajin, it's different. It's so difficult to take a small step forward!"

"Well."

Listening to Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen thought of the words of Dragon King Old Man Chen.

He said similar things last time.

"So, Duanmu Hai's ability to achieve such a level of cultivation at this age should not be underestimated!"

Xiao Lin said seriously.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"However, in addition to his cultivation, he is also domineering and adheres to the code of conduct of 'those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish'!"

Xiao Lin continued.

"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish? Ha, that's interesting."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen sneered. What a domineering person it takes to do this all the time!

Although he occasionally shouts such words when dealing with his enemies, he never treats them as a rule of conduct!

In his concept, it doesn't mean that if you are not a friend, you have to be an enemy!

If you are an enemy, I must destroy you!

"It is said that in the contemporary Duanmu family, Duanmu Hai should have inherited the position of the head of the family and led the Duanmu family... Even the current head of the family, Duanmu Yun, has no objection."

Xiao Lin thought of something and said again.

"Oh? There's a feud among the top brass of the Duanmu family?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's not that they are at odds, but that they are brothers who are so close that they don't differentiate between each other..."

When Xiao Lin said this, his tone was a little complicated.

"..."

Xiao Chen was stunned, so intimate that they couldn't distinguish between each other?

This was beyond his expectation.

"In the end, the ancestor of the Duanmu Family came forward and asked Duanmuhai to inherit his mantle... In other words, although Duanmuyun has the final say in the Duanmu Family now, in the next few decades, it will be Duanmuhai who has the final say.

!He is equivalent to the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Duanmu family!"

Xiao Lin said in a deep voice.

"..."

Xiao Chen's eyelids twitched. Maybe others didn't understand clearly when they heard this, but he, who was also from the ancient martial arts family, understood it all at once.

In an ancient martial arts family, especially a super powerful ancient martial arts family, there will always be a Dinghai Shenzhen.

This sea-fixing needle can not only stabilize the inside, but also deter outsiders!

And the status of Dinghaishenzhen is even higher in the family, superior to the head of the family!

At some point, when Dinghai Shenzhen says something, the family head cannot deny it.

This is especially true when the head of the family is not his contemporary but his junior.

For example, Duanmu Hai became the Dinghai Divine Needle, and Duanmu Ci became the next head of the family.

He is Duanmu Ci's second uncle. In front of his second uncle, can Duanmu Ci disobey his orders?

cannot!

Because...the most fundamental reason is that in the ancient martial arts world, strength is the most important thing!

Usually Dinghai Shenzhen is the strongest person in a force.

And this person is called - Ancestor!

The Xiao family also has such an ancestor.

It's just that Xiao Chen has never seen it.

"Xiaochen, why did you suddenly ask Duanmuhai?"

Xiao Lin asked curiously.

"He's coming to Longhai."

Xiao Chen said slowly.

"What? He went to Longhai? Yes, you told me last time that Duanmu Ci also went, right? Did you two have a conflict?"

Xiao Lin was slightly surprised and asked immediately.

"Well, Duanmu Ci and I had a short competition, and I was better."

Xiao Chen did not hide anything from Xiao Lin and simply explained the matter.

"Well, he is worthy of being my nephew, Xiao Lin. He is the most talented person in the Duanmu family!"

After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin was very proud.

"Just wait, I'll go to Longhai right away."

"Ah? Uncle Qi, why are you here in Longhai?"

Xiao Chen was startled and asked.

"Since Duanmuhai has gone, of course I have to escort you!"

There was a hint of concern in Xiao Lin's words.

"Although your seventh uncle and I are not Duanmu Hai's opponent for the time being, he will be a lot more wary of me when I'm here."

Listening to Uncle Qi's words, Xiao Chen was a little moved.

"Uncle Qi, no, there is no need for you to take action here yet... Even if Duanmuhai comes, so what, I'm not afraid of him."

"It's normal for newborn calves not to be afraid of tigers...but tigers will not stop hurting people just because calves are not afraid!"

Xiao Lin said seriously.

"Haha, I never thought he was harmless... Uncle Qi, I won't bother you to come over here. I have many experts here. Even if Duan Muhai really comes to trouble me, he won't be able to get away with it."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"I still don't believe it. Duanmuhai is really shameless and will come to bully the small? If that's the case, I will let the Dragon King destroy you."

"Dragon Emperor? Well, you mentioned it to me last time, but even if you join the Dragon Emperor, they will not offend Duanmu Hai just for you... Duanmu Hai is destined to represent the Duanmu family and become the leader of this ancient martial arts world.

A person with a minority voice.”

Xiao Lin said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Qi, my relationship with the Dragon Emperor is not that simple. Don't worry, I will handle it well."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"You really don't need me to go there?"

Seeing that his nephew was so sure, Xiao Lin hesitated.

"Of course it's true. If I need you, I will definitely call you and ask you to come over, okay?"

Xiao Chen nodded.

"good."

Xiao Lin thought for a while and agreed.
