alone as a fairy

Yue Gan and Ye Xuan rushed down, Yue Gan said: "Are you okay?"

Chen Zining shook his head, expressing that he was fine.

Ye Xuan was surprised and said: "How can you be fine? That's the fire of the soul, even if the Martial Emperor gets hit, he will suffer a lot."

Chen Zining smiled but did not answer, Ye Xuan and Yue Qian thought it involved his secret, so they stopped asking.

In fact, the reason is very simple. In terms of physical training, warriors are on par with cultivators, and they are also unique in terms of combat power, but when it comes to the cultivation of spiritual power and soul, warriors are not as good as cultivators.

The source of the soul is actually the power of the primordial spirit. With Chen Zining's cultivation at the early stage of transformation, the primordial spirit can already leave the body, and the control over the soul is beyond everyone's imagination. Not only did Ao Xuan's soul fire not cause any harm to him Instead, it was absorbed by Chen Zining like a big dose of tonic, strengthening his primordial spirit.

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Zining is not afraid of the soul fire, it just needs to be controlled within a certain range. If it exceeds his ability to control it, it will be extremely troublesome.

The three of them boarded the big boat that Chen Daochong and others drove over. Ye Xuan couldn't wait to ask about the situation in Guang'an City. The matter of Bian Ao's family was also settled temporarily, and he bid farewell to Yue Gan immediately.

Before the boat docked, the two of them took off into the air and flew towards the direction where Chen Zining came.

When Chen Zining returned to Longkou Town, he met his mother Zhan Ping, his younger sister Mu Shuang, and two young apprentices. They hadn't seen each other for 20 days. Yang Rui and Yang Yi were promoted to the first level of cultivation respectively, reaching the eighth and seventh levels of martial arts. Heavy.

Chen Mushuang was excitedly telling her brother that she had learned to swim and could hold her breath in the water for a long time, obviously she liked this place.

After chatting for a while, and answering the three children's questions about cultivation, Chen Zining went out to meet the others.

Meng Tang had already left after he learned that Meng Chang was transferred to be the commander of the Guang'an City Guard Army. Shen Yingyang, Shen Hongwu and Pei Kun led the mercenary group to station in the town, responsible for the security of the town and the work of suppressing bandits. Well, most of the original guards in the town had been transferred to fill the vacancies on the ship because the members were all people familiar with water skills.

The Guangtong Chamber of Commerce and the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce also sent some people to set up a branch in Longkou Town, led by Du Yue and Fan Dongcheng.

Chen Guangming and Chen Guangan got the news earlier, and after more than an hour, they rushed over from Huludao. As soon as they met, Chen Zining saw that his father had already broken through to the realm of Wu Zong, and couldn't help but feel happy.

Chen Guangming said: "It happened a few days ago. Since the clansman came over, I have handed over all the affairs to your grandpa. I concentrated on retreat for a few days. Fortunately, I broke through the first pass."

At this time, there are still four members of the Chen family who have reached the ninth level of martial arts, namely Chen Daochong, Zhan Ping, Chen Daohong, and Chen Guanglin. The other two elders and Chen Guangwu are the eighth level. In addition, among adult males, there are 120 high-ranked warriors, 140 one middle-ranked warriors, and only 25 low-ranked warriors.

The principals of the Chen family gathered in the conference hall to discuss various matters concerning the journey to the Traceless Island. In the future, not only the old, the weak, women and children will live on the island, but even those who have not broken through to the martial arts will be restricted from leaving the island unless there are special circumstances. A high-level samurai warrior can rule the roost in Yunjieling, but for the current Chen family, there is really not much he can do to help if he is not at the level of a warrior.

The final result of the discussion was that several elders and Chen Guanglin led more than 500 clansmen to take four large boats to Wuzong Island, while Chen Guangming, Chen Guangwu, Chen Guangan and others stayed on the islands with most of the warrior-level clansmen. In the town, the other three people who enshrined the Yang family and people from the Yingyang mercenary group also stayed in the town.

After the discussion, Chen Guangming and others went out to arrange various affairs, while Chen Zining was left behind by his grandfather and the three elders.

Chen Daochong said: "There is one thing that should be put on the agenda. I have been the patriarch for 21 years. Fortunately, the clan has been safe and sound for the past 20 years, and there has been no major trouble. Now it is like a dream. It is time to create an eternal foundation. I have let go of the burden of the patriarch, so please raise any opinions you have."

The position of the patriarch of the Chen family is not passed down from father to son, but is decided by the patriarch and several elders. Moreover, the Chen family has just risen, and the position of the patriarch represents more a responsibility than an enjoyment of power.

A few people didn't care about Chen Daochong's resignation, not to mention people of the Guangzi generation who were already able to take charge. After retiring from the patriarch to the position of the Great Elder, the power is not much smaller, but the decision-making power is missing. More supervision means.

Chen Dao couldn't help it: "Among the Guangzi generation, the only ones who are capable of taking over are Guangming, Guanglin, Guangping, Guangwu, and Guang'an. Although Guanglin has a high level of cultivation, he is also prudent in his work, but it is a pity that he lacks some flexibility and wisdom. Witty; Guangan, on the contrary, has a too free and easy personality, and lacks knowledge and vision, so it is not the best choice; Guangping is the boss, and he can convince everyone in everything he does, but he is too old, and he is already fifty-nine this year , the cultivation base started a bit late, and for the current Chen family, they lacked vigor and drive; Guangwu is capable of literary and military skills, bold and careful, making it difficult to find faults, but his personality is still somewhat biased towards martial arts. When I was in Yunjie Ridge before, I was only willing to stay in the hunting team, but when I arrived in Tsinghua City, I also liked life in the army and didn't like trivial things."

Chen Daojing smiled and said: "After all, Guangming is more suitable, so let's decide. However, the title of patriarch is mostly used in tribal villages, and the title of patriarch is often used in aristocratic families. We will inevitably have to deal with these people in the future, so we should also call them patriarchs." Bar."

Chen Daohong said: "Then when will Guangming take over? Is the time right now?"

When it came to this question, Chen Daochong and others all looked at Chen Zining. Chen Zining, the successor of the patriarch, was not good at speaking, but this question depended on his thoughts.

Chen Zining said: "Nowadays is not the same as in the past. The Chen family's contacts with the outside world have already involved a lot. The succession of the head of the family is a big event. We have to inform other forces. I think it's best to wait until the construction of Wuzong Island is completed before spreading invitations. They went to the island to watch the ceremony, and we must have been completely on our feet by then."

Chen Daochong nodded, and said again: "There is still one thing to discuss. In the past, there were few people and few things, and it was enough for everyone to control a little. Now let's not talk about the affairs of the clan. There are four other islands and hundreds of ships. , a town and a chamber of commerce, just elders and a few temporary leadership positions are too simple, and the responsibilities are unclear, and the leadership is unclear, we must make some improvements."

Chen Daohong suggested: "Then learn from other aristocratic families. Under the elders, they are divided into two positions: deacon and steward, and each position is divided into three levels, which is enough to arrange personnel and power."
