Chapter 1425 Worrying Situation
"I can't afford to offend him?" Lin Hai was startled, and then a strange look appeared on his face. If Dongfang Yu heard this, he didn't know what he would think.
"Brother Lin, don't take it seriously!" Dongfang Youlong saw Lin Hai's disapproval, his face suddenly became solemn, and he reminded again.
"You have no idea how terrifying this Dongfang Jade is." Speaking of Dongfang Jade, Dongfang Youlong showed a complicated look in his eyes, and then sighed softly. "Let me tell you this, Luofeng Town is one of the eight towns south of Liuguang City. Each town has forces that are not weaker than my Dongfang family. Among them, there are many geniuses and masters. Even so, Dongfang Jade can rank fifth among the young generation in the entire South Eight Towns, and his cultivation level is even higher.
He has reached the late stage of Golden Core. You can imagine how terrifying he is, right? "
"Then I don't have to hide from him, right?" Lin Hai was amused.
The young generation in Nanba Town ranks fifth? Late stage of Golden Elixir?
Such an achievement may be remarkable, but in front of myself, what does it mean?
"Alas, you don't know something!" Dongfang Youlong sighed, becoming a little depressed.
"Brother Lin, does he know why the Seventh Elder wants to see you and not someone else?"
Lin Hai shook his head. He really hadn't thought about this issue. Anyway, he came to see Dongfang Youlong. As for who in the Dongfang family came forward to receive him, Lin Hai didn't care at all.
"Here, it involves some matters within the Dongfang family. Since Brother Lin will soon be a member of the family, I might as well introduce the situation to you."
After Dongfang Youlong finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and sighed again. "The Dongfang family has eight elders under the head of the family. According to their ranking, they control nearly 70% of the entire family's resources. However, these eight elders are not fixed. They are fought for through competition. The capable ones are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. In this way Only in this way can we ensure that the family's resources are always concentrated in the hands of the strong.
It makes the strong always strong and promotes the continuous improvement of the overall strength of the family, which is why our Dongfang family has the status it has today. "
"My ancestors are the descendants of the Great Elder. They were once unparalleled in glory. However, after so many years, my generation has lost its former glory. Our lineage has been kicked down to the seventh position. , the current seventh elder is my clan brother in terms of seniority."
Lin Hai heard something moving in his heart and couldn't help but nodded slowly.
"According to what my elder brother said, when I enter the Dongfang Family, I am actually entering the lineage of the Seventh Elder?"
"Yes!" Dongfang Youlong nodded, and then a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"It's just that our lineage's current status is in jeopardy and has reached the edge of danger. If we are not careful, we may be replaced by those who come after us!"
"The eighth elder, ranking seventh, is indeed in some danger!" Lin Hai nodded. It seems that the Dongfang Youlong lineage is currently in a very bad situation.
"The reason for this is because our lineage has not had any talented disciples for many years, while other lines have been filled with geniuses. As a result, we have been almost at the bottom in the competition for elder ranking."
"Is the ranking of elders determined by disciples?" Lin Hai asked in surprise.
"Yes, the younger generation of disciples represents potential. The better they are, the more training resources they should be allocated. Therefore, the Dongfang family has always used this method to rank the elders. The Dongfang Jade I am talking about... "
When Dongfang Youlong said this, his eyes suddenly darkened.
"His father was once the eighth elder. In the last competition for the position of elder, it was this Dongfang Yu who forcibly defeated the disciples of the elders in front of him and reached third place in one fell swoop!"
"If his brother Dongfang Yan hadn't come forward at the critical moment and secretly told him to stop it and not cause public outrage, I'm afraid the position of the Great Elder would have changed hands!"
"Dongfang Yan?" Lin Hai was stunned. He was not interested in the competition for the position of elder. On the contrary, Dongfang Yan's name made Lin Hai flash a look of surprise.
Because this is not the first time Lin Hai has heard of Dongfang Yan. When he met the Black Wind Three Evils before, even Dong Xiaotian, the boss of the Three Evils, seemed a little afraid of Dongfang Yan.
"Yes, Dongfang Yan!" Dongfang Youlong nodded, with a look of deep fear in his eyes.
"Dongfang Yan is the eldest son of the third elder. He has outstanding talent, extremely high understanding, and unfathomable Taoism. At a young age, he has reached the perfection of the golden elixir. He is only one step away from condensing the Nascent Soul. He can be called the South Eight Towns for a thousand years. A rare genius!”
"Although Dongfang Yu is strong, he is not worth mentioning in front of his brother Dongfang Yan. Fortunately, Dongfang Yan has been favored by the big forces in Liuyun City and rarely participates in family affairs. Otherwise, he would say casually, Today’s great elders must give up their positions obediently.”
"Golden elixir perfection?" Lin Hai nodded slowly. If so, Dongfang Yan is indeed a genius. Even if he has so many adventures, if the Immortal in the Pot hadn't helped him forcibly condense the Nascent Soul, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive at this moment. , it’s nothing more than the Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
Speaking of this, a bitter sadness flashed in Dongfang Youlong's eyes. "Nowadays, our lineage is losing more and more talents. If we lose again in the next competition, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep the position of the Seventh Elder. Just when the Seventh Elder was at a loss, I returned to the family and solemnly paid my respects to him. I recommended you. The Seventh Elder has high hopes for you.
. "
"I'll go, are you going to let your brother do the work as soon as you come here?" Dongfang Youlong said for a long time, and Lin Hai finally understood what he meant. Does this mean that he will fight in the battle for the elder position?
"Brother Lin, although I admire you very much, there is something I have to say." Dongfang Youlong hesitated and said.
“Brother Dongfang, if you have something to say, it’s okay to say it!”
"Today's Dongfang Family is completely different from the records left by my ancestors when they entered the mortal world." "In my ancestor's generation, the Dongfang Family at that time had golden elixirs and immortals like phoenix feathers and dragon horns, and their status in the family was very high. High, but after so many years of development and growth, there are no less than thirty Jindan Immortals in the family, and the practitioners of the Earth Immortal Realm, due to the quality of their spiritual energy, are less than
Practitioners in the mortal world of the same realm are much stronger. Although my elder brother is in the middle stage of the golden elixir, he is no match for an early stage golden elixir disciple in the clan. "Therefore, my brother wants to tell you that after you join the family, just concentrate on your cultivation. With your qualifications and potential, your achievements in the future will be limitless. You must not fight with others, especially Dongfang Yu, because he is really too strong." Now, you are far from his opponent. If you were
Injured before the battle for the eldership, the gain outweighs the loss. "
“What Miss Yuke said before, although it didn’t sound right, she was also sincere!”
"Okay, I understand!" Lin Hai nodded. Concentrating on cultivation was just what he wanted. As long as others didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, he wouldn't bother to deal with it.
As for Dongfang Jade, let alone fighting, I'm afraid this guy will pee in fear when he sees him, right?
As they talked along the way, the two people arrived in front of a magnificent and vast manor in the southeast. "Brother Lin, the Dongfang family is here!"
