Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

"Old prodigal, you are really good!" Xili Daogao patted Shen Lang on the shoulder and smiled, "When it comes to killing people, you are better than me. Back then, you were known as a moderate."

Shen Lang smiled bitterly and waved his hands, "It's been so many years, why are you still bringing up these old things? You're just bringing up all the old things."

He paused, "But you, Xiao Gaozi, are indeed more advanced than me. I have to admit that."

Xili Daogao smiled proudly, "That's good to know. I haven't had such a good fight in a long time. It's so satisfying!"

"I heard that your grandson's martial spirit returned to his ancestors and awakened the Seven Killing Swords. Congratulations." Shen Lang changed the subject and mentioned the happy event of the Xili family. "And your Xili Sword will be promoted to an eighth-grade martial spirit in another 20 to 30 years. It's really enviable."

Xili Daogao waved his hand nonchalantly, "So what if they advance quickly? Maybe they are not as fast as the Tianya Sword Lu family. As for your Shen family, you may not even be able to keep your position as the third brother."

Shen Lang laughed loudly upon hearing this, "If we can't protect it, then we can't protect it. The Lu family is dominated by yin and yang, and we can't afford to offend those old women who rebelled against Tiangang."

"Haha, that's right." Xili Daogao also laughed, then frowned slightly, "This time the master actually mobilized our two families. Although we are close, the old guys from the Nine Zhaowu Clans and several old masters didn't come. This is a bit unusual."

Shen Lang nodded leisurely, with a gleam in his eyes. "It is indeed unusual. All these signs show that the master family is planning a big game. However, these high-level plans are not something we should worry too much about."

He clapped his hands lightly and stood up calmly.

"Never mind, let's go." Shen Lang waved his hand casually, turned around and prepared to leave.

Xili Daogao raised his eyelids lazily and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Shen Lang chuckled, "Of course we're going to divide the spoils. We've put in so much effort, and even lost some people, so the master should at least give us some wages. Even if we're hired as long-term workers, we should get a salary and some bonuses, right?"

He paused and continued, "Moreover, you saw those children with your own eyes. Their level was too high."

As he said this, he strode towards the lobby.

When Xili Daogao heard this, his eyes rolled and he quickly stood up and followed Shen Lang unsteadily with a smile on his face.

The two men, one in front and one behind, looked quite wealthy.

………………

On a stone platform, Yang Buer and Dugu Lin stood side by side. In the night, their sleeves danced in the wind. They stared deeply at the busy crowd below. Their figures shuttled through the bright lights, as hardworking as a colony of ants.

Although the two men came from different families, they had already established a good friendship because of their in-depth communication in the niche circle of drug users.

The Yang family is located in the northern part of the Fasno Province, and is separated from the Kingdom of Silves where the Dugu family is located by only the majestic Jiayu Pass. This geographical relationship also makes their interactions more frequent.

Yang Buer sighed softly and broke the silence, "I never expected that a thousand-year-old sect like Tianlang Sect would collapse because of a careless move."

Dugu Lin turned his head and looked at him, then sighed, "Yes, the gap between first-rate forces and top-level forces is really regrettable."

Yang Buer fell into a brief contemplation. Although they did not agree with some of the actions of the Tianlang Sect, they could not help but feel a little sad and distressed at this moment.

Dugu Lin turned to look at Yang Buer, frowning slightly: "Who could have expected that the Ji and Liu families would be accepted as his disciples, and that the Xili clan and the Shen family were actually branches of the Chen family."

"I didn't pay attention to this before. I don't know how many families in the soul master world are involved with the Chen family."

"Your Yang family comes from the Tianbing Sect, so you should know more about this, right?"

Yang Buer nodded slightly, "I know a little bit, but I definitely don't understand it fully."

He paused and looked at Dugu Lin, "Brother Dugu, what do you want to say?"

Dugu Lin took a deep breath, "During the destruction of the Tianlang Sect this time, Patriarch Chen Yu did not show up to preside over the situation. Instead, he called back His Majesty Chen Hong. I am very curious, where did he go? Bu Er, you should be able to guess something, right?"

Yang Buer did not answer, but just stared quietly at the night in the distance.

He naturally understood what Dugu Lin meant. When he was invited to help, he already knew the reason. Therefore, it was very likely that Chen Yu would attack Bu Ren Lou at the same time.

At this time, Dugu Lin's eyes were dark green, and he clenched his hands. He once again broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "Even if Patriarch Chen didn't come, he could still destroy the Tianlang Sect. What does this prove? The strength of the Chen family this time is probably less than half of their family's strength."

Upon hearing this, Yang Buer was stunned for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said leisurely: "You think too much, Brother Dugu. If the Chen family really goes all out, the force they dispatched this time is probably less than a quarter of their family's strength."

Yang Buer knew clearly that Zhu Hongzhen had broken through the seal and his strength had greatly increased.

Only half of the Nine Zhaowu Clans came this time, the same was true for the Ji Family and the Liu Family. The two major branches, the Xili Family and the Shen Family, also only sent out half of their strength.

What was even more surprising was that he learned that the Chen family had several branches that were no weaker than the Xili and Shen families, especially the branch ranked number one.

After hearing what Yang Buer said, Dugu Lin was speechless for a moment.

He widened his eyes and looked at Yang Buer in astonishment.

The atmosphere on the field became extremely solemn at this moment, and Yang Buer's words undoubtedly added another layer of storm and waves to it.

After a moment of silence, Dugu Lin suddenly asked, "Buer, although this question is a bit abrupt, I still want to ask, what benefits did the Chen family give you that made you willing to stay and help?"

Yang Buer smiled slightly and took out a spiritual medicine that was shining with a bright green light: "An eighth-grade spiritual medicine."

A hint of surprise flashed across Dugulin's eyes: "What a great work!"

Ninth-grade spiritual medicine is rare in the world. It was hard for the Chen family to get one back then.

Yang Buer raised his eyebrows and looked at Dugu Lin with a half-smile: "What about you? What benefits did the Chen family give you?"

Dugu Lin pulled out a red, blue and green gem from his pocket and threw it to Yang Buer: "This is called the Heart of the Sacred Tree. It contains the power of ice and fire."

"It has a very good suppressive effect on toxicity in our family. We have experimented with it before and it is indeed very effective. It even saved the life of my second son."

"Before, Young Master Chen gave me one, and this time, he helped me and gave me five."

Yang Buer played with the Heart of the Sacred Tree in his hand, feeling the strange energy it exuded. He looked up at Dugu Lin: "What do you want to say?"

Dugu Lin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Nothing, just some feelings. In troubled times, small families like us are in danger."

After saying this, he took back the Heart of the Sacred Tree, turned around and left.

However, before leaving, he paused and mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, "A few months ago, Young Master Chen tried to recruit our Dugu family."

Yang Buer was shocked when he heard this, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

This time, the Chen family only invited the two of them, and if the Chen family really wanted to recruit the Dugu family, then...

Then, he laughed dumbly: "Old fox."
