Then, Dugu Lie turned his head and glanced at Dugu Xingchen, and said, "Little Brother Xingchen, see you in a year, I hope your strength will go to the next level." ”

Dugu Xingchen arched his hand and said, "Okay, cousin, I'll see you in a year." ”

"Hmm!"

Dugu Lie glanced at Dugu Xingchen meaningfully, stepped on the elegant steps and left, and disappeared in the Dugu Restaurant.

Dugu Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Dugu Lie's mysterious body, and said quite proudly: "Lie'er has now cultivated the Dugu family's heavenly trick to the fullest, it seems that after this retreat, he can achieve a good result in the Seven Clans Competition." ”

The rest of the Dugu family elders all nodded, Dugu Lie is the strongest of the younger generation of the Dugu family, he is very valued, and it took a lot of resources for the Dugu family to cultivate to the point where he is now, of course, this is also closely related to Dugu Lie's cultivation talent.

If this person is a waste material, no matter how many valuable resources the Dugu family accumulates, it is impossible to cultivate him into a Tianjiao figure among the young generation in the Northern Regions, on the contrary, only a person with a talent of ten thousand, coupled with endless resources, can cultivate a young Tianjiao.

Without the support of powerful pills, spirit stones, exercises, and martial arts, it is impossible for a martial artist with superior talent to be mixed in at the top of the martial artist.

In order to cultivate a strong junior, you can imagine how much resources it takes, so it is difficult for some small forces with insufficient resources to have a strong young child.

Unless you are like the Demon Emperor thousands of years ago, you can awaken the terrifying martial soul and devour everything to cultivate.

Dugu Hong, Dugu Xing and Dugu Ming are also the candidates for the Seven Clans Competition that have been determined, and they all bid farewell to the elders and Dugu Ao, and they will also go to the Dugu Family Holy Land to retreat and cultivate.

The younger generation also left one after another, leaving only Dugu Xingchen alone.

"Father, then I'll go back first!"

After Dugu Xingchen gave his hands to all the seniors one by one, he was about to leave.

"Chen'er, wait a minute!" Dugu Ao called out to Dugu Xingchen and said, "Tomorrow, you will also go to the family holy land to practice!"

As soon as the words fell, some of the people around who had not yet stepped out of the restaurant all turned their heads and looked at Dugu Xingchen, wouldn't it be true that a realm martial artist went to the family holy land to find death?

Dugu Jian interjected: "Family Master, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, there are many crises in the family holy land, and if you don't have the strength to reach the Xuanning realm, it's better not to go in." ”

Dugu was silent and did not answer, and seemed to hesitate, falling into deep thought. The family holy land is the most suitable place for the children of the Dugu family to cultivate, where the aura is strong, and the cultivation speed is several times faster than that of the outside world, but it is also full of dangers, with second-class demon beasts infested, and even third-class demon beasts.

"Third brother, and Chen'er, the two of you will come to my room to discuss at this time, eat and drink enough, and everyone will disperse!" After Dugu Ao finished speaking, he got up and walked, he stepped on the stairs step by step, his steps were steady and powerful, and the seemingly slow speed disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that my father's strength is much more terrifying. Dugu Xingchen was secretly frightened, his father's cultivation was difficult for even the powerhouses of the Taixuan Realm to figure out, Dugu Ao had not made a move for several years, and the entire Northern Regions did not know what kind of state his strength had reached.

With Dugu Ao's departure, the banquet quickly ended, and the building was empty.

Dugu Xingchen and Dugu Jian walked side by side, walking on the winding road of the Dugu family, and the young people who were able to walk so close to the third master of the Dugu family attracted a lot of jealous eyes, but when they heard that the person next to the third master was the young patriarch who had just returned to the family, they lost their temper.

"Nephew, how are you doing after leaving the family for the past five years?" Dugu Jian suddenly asked.

"Thank you second uncle for your concern, I have been to many places in the past five years since I left the family, and I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery, and my life is quite okay. Dugu Xingchen smiled.

Dugu Jian chuckled and said, "It seems that your life is quite rich." ”

"Yes, the past five years have been really rich. ”

Dugu Xingchen nodded thoughtfully, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, he has spent the past five years in mocking laughter, despised by others, and he is quite depressed when he thinks about it, but fortunately, he has the care of his father, cousin, grandfather, and grandfather.

Especially in this month, it was very different, he met Wu Yunru, King Kong, and Lin Yan in the Qingyun Mountain Range, and he escaped in the Genshan Mountain, and got acquainted with Murong Xue and Murong Feng and others, and the most important thing is that he knew that Ling Yao was still alive and had always been with him.

Seeing that Dugu Xingchen's eyes dimmed, Dugu Jian had already guessed that Dugu Xingchen's wandering life in the past five years must not be easy, and he continued to probe tentatively: "I remember that when you left five years ago, the martial soul did not awaken, and it was still the four heavens of the human realm, and now it only took one month to break through the five realms, so you must have encountered some great opportunity!"

"Hehe, there's no big chance, it's just that I'm often hunted down and killed, and when I'm about to die, I keep breaking through in a desperate situation, and then that's it. Dugu Xingchen said lightly, but he understood in his heart that the old fox finally showed his fox tail.

Dugu Xingchen can still recall that five years ago, when the Council of Elders announced that he could not awaken the martial spirit, the young master of the Dugu family fell from the highest point to the bottom.

The gaze of everyone looking at him changed, becoming disdainful and sarcastic.

He has long tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection and tasted all kinds of life. In the past five years, he has been struggling between life and death, and this growth experience has made Dugu Xingchen a real man, and under the mask of the hippie smiling face on weekdays, there is a strong heart that has experienced blood.

Dugu family mansion, and divided into many palaces, the most luxurious atmosphere of nature is the Dugu family head, Dugu Ao lives in the place, this palace covers an area of thousands of miles, as the peak of the northern region former, Dugu Xingchen naturally does not need to be protected, this mansion only Dugu Ao and a few subordinates live, it seems quite deserted, but it is also very elegant and quiet, is a martial artist meditation retreat practice.

"Third master, young master, you are finally here, the head of the family has been waiting for a long time. When the old butler of the palace saw the two coming, he hurriedly greeted them, and they were brought into a council hall in the inner hall.

In the council hall, Dugu Ao was already sitting on a chair waiting for the arrival of the two, his aura was plain, and he was no longer the appearance of today's city gate, but between his eyebrows he exuded the majesty of a strong man.

"Father!" Dugu Xingchen smiled warmly.

"Well, Chen'er, and the third brother, you all sit down!" Dugu Ao stared at his son, who had long hair, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Father. Looking at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, the smile on Dugu Xingchen's face was even stronger, although he had the memory of his previous life, but since he spoke out, the father in front of him was pampered by himself, and after he was down, his favor did not decrease but increased, so that Dugu Xingchen was willing to call him his father.

"Ahem, big brother, can you take into account my feelings. Looking at the father and son in front of him, Dugu Jian coughed a little embarrassedly and said.

"Well, then let's get down to business! I've already decided, let you enter the family holy land to cultivate in advance, I wonder if you are prepared for this?"

The child listened to his father's arrangement. ”

Dugu Xingchen agreed without hesitation, he had always faintly felt that there was something in the holy land that had been calling him, and he had to go there, besides, he had long heard that the spiritual energy in the family holy land was strong, and it was a holy place for cultivation, and he had never had the opportunity to enter it and take a peek.

Dugu Jian, who was sitting on the side, said: "Virtuous nephew, this is not a joke to go to the family holy land, there are many crises inside, and you may lose your life if you are not careful, have you thought about it?"

"Well, second uncle, I've already decided. Dugu Xingchen nodded.

"Now that you're ready, I'm not going to say anything more. ”

Dugu Ao said with relief: "This time, I am anxious to let you go to the Holy Land to cultivate, in fact, I plan to let you participate in the Seven Clans Competition in a year's time." ”

"What, father, you said that I should participate in the Northern Regions Seven Clans Competition?" Dugu Xingchen was stunned, he was a small human realm martial artist to participate in the Seven Clans Competition, I am afraid that he will be overwhelmed in an instant, right?

Dugu smiled arrogantly and said: "Yes, I have left a place for you, and you can directly enter the finals when the time comes, you should understand the preciousness of this place, there are only ten places in one of our seven families, you have to work hard, live up to your hard work, I want you to look good." ”

"How can I get a place, father, you better give up the place to someone else. Dugu Xingchen rolled his eyes and let him confront those Tianjiao figures in the Northern Regions, isn't this self-defeating?

"Hmph, stinky boy, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know, you can break through five realms in a month, which is enough to show that you can break through the bottleneck of the human realm in a year and reach the Xuanning realm, don't be unhappy, as long as you get a ranking in the big competition, but when the beauties of the entire Northern Regions are up to you. Dugu Ao was like an old liar who abducted and sold children, and began to tempt his son, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Can you not accept it?" Dugu Xingchen was aggrieved and said with a wry smile.

"No!" Dugu said arrogantly.

Dugu Jian looked at Dugu Xingchen with blazing eyes, and he had a faint premonition in his heart that it would not be long before this son might replace his son, Dugu Lie's status, he, as a father, naturally didn't want Dugu Xingchen to take his son's place, and secretly thought about something in his heart.
