He looked at Qi Tian and explained, "If you were thrown into the Northern Frontier a few years ago, you could have done it too. There, if you couldn't, you would have died."
"And I lived."
Qi Tian's eyebrows shot up upon hearing this. "Is the Northern Frontier such a dangerous place?"
"It was, back then. Now, it's a bit better."
Over these past few years, with his presence, the unrest in the Northern Frontier had lessened. However, there were still countless trivial matters throughout the year, and every year saw a ceaseless stream of fools who courted death.
"Then tell me, if disciples from the Misty Immortal Palace were to train there, would there be casualties?" Qi Tian asked, his curiosity piqued.
It would be quite amusing if people from the Misty Immortal Palace suffered losses there.
"Probably not, unless they were disobedient, went to places they shouldn't have, and provoked people they shouldn't have," Lin Xiao mused. At the very least, they were all at the Dong Xuan realm. If someone were to get hurt there, it would most likely be due to internal conflict, not external enemies. Ordinary external threats wouldn't pose any danger to those at the Dong Xuan realm.
"There are people in the Northern Frontier who shouldn't be provoked?"
Qi Tian grew even more curious. While none of the Misty Immortal Palace disciples were at the Divine Realm, they were still disciples who hailed from the Misty Immortal Palace. In terms of strength, they were worlds apart from ordinary people. Even such a group of disciples would still have people in the Northern Frontier they couldn't afford to offend?
"Of course, there are."
As Lin Xiao spoke, his gaze became solemn. "The dignity of my Northern Frontier warriors is inviolable."
He could roughly imagine that upon arriving in the Northern Frontier, those people would initially find the situation there unfamiliar. After all, it was a military region, not the Misty Immortal Palace. And the Northern Frontier warriors they would face, with the exception of Ye Chen, had no one with a higher cultivation level than them. However, according to their arrangements, these disciples had to start from the very bottom of the Dragon King Army. If anyone were to refuse to comply, a dispute or even internal conflict would likely arise, and it was uncertain if it would escalate to fighting. It would undoubtedly cause trouble for Ye Chen.
"I understand what you mean."
Qi Tian suddenly realized. The Northern Frontier warriors had endured blood and tears alongside Lin Xiao, and they were all the cream of the crop. As for the Misty Immortal Palace disciples, let alone experiencing hardships, most of them had spent their lives cultivating within the Misty Immortal Palace. The difference between the Misty Immortal Palace and the Northern Frontier was naturally immense. It was possible that major incidents would occur.
"Aren't you worried about them over there?"
"Why should I be worried?" Lin Xiao retorted. "Do you think that the Dragon King Army, forged through battles with me, has no other strong individuals besides myself?"
"Ye Chen is quite good, though."
Qi Tian had a good impression of Ye Chen. To be honest, among those below the Divine Realm, Ye Chen could be considered the best. He should be able to claim the top spot on the Earth Ranking.
"It seems that in your eyes, besides myself, Ye Chen, and Ming Yi, there are no other remarkable individuals," Lin Xiao shook his head. He could understand Qi Tian's perspective; his horizons were different. But Lin Xiao also had more confidence in his Dragon King Army. "Perhaps you don't know, the gap between Dong Xuan and Zhi Wei is very, very small."
"Or rather, Dong Xuan and Zhi Wei can be considered one realm."
Lin Xiao stated. Qi Tian disagreed with Lin Xiao's assertion. One realm, one heaven.
