Three days later, in Merchant Mountain City, Su Xin was still leisurely drinking tea with Hong Lietao and the rest. He wasn't worried about the revenge of Lihuo Sect and the other sects at all.
During these three days, although Yan Qingxue and the others were somewhat worried, Su Xin was very calm and did what he should do.
Yan Zhongheng and the rest didn't look for trouble either. In their opinion, Su Xin wasn't far from death. Yan Qingxue wouldn't be the successor of the city lord for long either.
Hong Lietao questioned, "Young Master Meng, it's not that I want to talk too much, but those sects in Xiangnan aren't easy to deal with. You've injured their disciple, I'm afraid they won't let this matter rest.
They will definitely do something like this. These guys are not like those big sects in the martial arts world in the Central Plains who care so much about their reputation. This is not the first time they have done something like bullying the weak. "
Su Xin looked into the distance. "I was afraid they wouldn't come. If they can still tolerate this, then I can only say that I underestimated them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed four terrifying auras locking onto Yan Qingxue's house. The powerful pressure caused everyone's faces to turn pale.
"They really came!"
Su Xin gestured for everyone to calm down. He walked out and saw four martial artists standing in front of the house. Each of them had a terrifying aura.
One of them was as hot as fire, like the flames of the Vermilion Bird. He had the power to burn the sky.
The second person's aura was like an abyss, deep and unfathomable.
The third person's sword aura was overbearing and oppressive.
The fourth person had a huge crescent blade on his back and his aura was domineering.
Primordial Soul Realm martial artists could borrow the power of heaven and earth. They integrated their aura with the power of heaven and earth. The powerful pressure enveloped a radius of a few hundred feet. Many martial artists in Merchant Mountain City revealed a look of fear. They didn't know why four Primordial Soul Realm martial artists would suddenly appear in Merchant Mountain City.
Even in the Central Plains where there were many martial artists, Primordial Soul Realm martial artists could be called grandmasters.
In Xiangnan, Primordial Soul Realm martial artists were overlords. They wouldn't appear at the same time easily.
"Meng Qingze! You severely injured a disciple of my Azure Billow Valley's Mo Family. Do you know your crime? " The old man's aura was like a vast abyss as he spoke coldly. The enormous pressure seemed to condense into a solid substance as it pressed down on Su Xin's head!
Su Xin circulated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art on the outside and the Violet Sun Divine Art on the inside. Only by combining the two together could he barely withstand this powerful pressure. This caused his forehead to break out in a cold sweat.
Su Xin had only seen Yan Huangjiu, an Essence Soul realm Martial Dao grandmaster.
However, that was in public. Yan Huangjiu withdrew most of his aura, appearing just like an ordinary cultivator.
But right now, the old man from the Mo Family of the Cang Lan Valley had merged the power of Heaven and Earth into his own aura and pressed down on Su Xin. If it was a weaker martial artist, this move would have been enough to severely injure him!
The difference between the Primordial Soul Realm and the Innate Realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.
In the past, Su Xin had only heard of it. But today, he finally saw the pressure of a real Primordial Soul Realm martial artist. He didn't even need to make a move. Just his aura alone could crush an Innate Realm martial artist to death!
"In a battle between martial artists, there's no need to talk about life and death. Is it my fault that Mo Tianlan is not as skilled as others? "Su Xin said lightly under that powerful pressure.
Seeing that Su Xin could still be so calm under his pressure, the old man from the Azure Tide Valley was surprised.
But then he said coldly, "Don't quibble! Meng Qingze, do you think you can run amok in Xiangnan just because you're the disciple of Sijue Itinerant Zong Haoyang? Even if your master came to Xiangnan personally, he wouldn't dare to be so ruthless to the disciples of our four families! "
Su Xin laughed with ridicule. "My master isn't here, so of course you dare to speak like this. But if he were to stand here, then do you think you'd have the chance to talk nonsense here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, no matter if it was the old man from the Mo Clan or the other three Primordial Soul Realm martial artists, their expressions became extremely unsightly.
They were all Primordial Soul Realm martial artists, but Zong Haoyang's strength was a realm stronger than them. Moreover, his reputation was much greater than theirs.
Even though Zong Haoyang was an independent cultivator, he'd always wandered about in a place like the central plains where experts emerged in large numbers, and he'd obtained the nickname of Sijue Itinerant.
On the other hand, the four of them could only lord over Xiangnan. If Zong Haoyang was really standing here, then they would probably really have to think it over and not directly attack him.
The middle aged man from the Nine Radiance Sword Sect said coldly, "Brother Mo, this kid is so arrogant, yet you're willing to allow him to humiliate you? Your Mo Clan is getting worse and worse these past few years. Could it be that you're afraid of that Sijue Itinerant? "
The old man from the Mo Clan grunted coldly. "Even if I kill this kid, all four of you have a share in today's matter. All of you can dream of escaping if Zong Haoyang comes looking for trouble in the future."
Su Xin's current identity, Meng Qingze, caused these four clans to be extremely fearful of him.
After all, he had an imaginary master, the Sijue Itinerant, Zong Haoyang, standing behind him. So even if they killed Su Xin, they had to consider the consequences.
The price of forming irreconcilable enmity with a Harmonized Soul Realm grandmaster wasn't something their clan could bear.
"Your Mo Clan is really getting more cowardly as you age. This is Xiangnan, and it isn't a place where he, Zong Haoyang, can act wildly! If you won't kill him, then I will! "
The eyes of the middle aged man from the Nine Radiance Sword Sect revealed boundless killing intent. Fang Chenyu who was crippled by Su Xin was his personal disciple.
Even though giving up on saving Fang Chenyu was his decision, it was for the benefit of the entire Nine Radiance Sword Sect.
But Fang Chenyu was his personal disciple after all, and since Su Xin had crippled Fang Chenyu, this enmity couldn't be left unavenged!
Surging sword qi tore through the sky. The middle aged man from the Nine Radiance Sword Sect didn't draw his sword, and he'd only used his fingers to replace his sword. But that strand of sword qi traversed over 30m, and it carried boundless pressure as it surged over.
The sword qi slashed over and sealed off space. It seemed to be a simple strand of sword qi, yet it contained over 10 variations, and no matter how Su Xin dodged, he was bound to be unable to avoid this strike!
His mind was strained at all times, and he intended to enter the system to exchange for consumables at the last moment and see if he was able to resist this strike.
But right when the sword qi was about to arrive before him, a voice suddenly sounded out. "Han Tinglan, this isn't your Nine Radiance Sword Sect, and it isn't your place to act wildly!"
A dragon roar resounded out as Yan Huangjiu appeared before Su Xin, and then he smashed out with his fist. An azure dragon roared furiously, and the might of his fist changed like the wind and clouds. It was shapeless and traceless, yet it threw the heavens and the earth into disorder, and it caused Han Tinglan's sword strike to be completely obliterated.
Han Tinglan's face instantly sank. "Nine Transformation Azure Dragon Fist! Yan Huangjiu, must you protect this kid? He crippled a disciple of my Nine Radiance Sword Sect, and the disciples of the other three sects were heavily injured by him as well! "
Su Xin instantly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Huangjiu make an appearance, and his plan could finally be considered to have succeeded smoothly.
The forces of the various sects of Southern Xiangnan were truly too formidable. Even if Su Xin had always been standing on guard by Yan Qingxue's side, Yan Zhongheng and the others would probably be able to obtain sufficient assistance to seize the position of City Governor.
If he wanted Yan Qingxue to sit firmly on the position of City Governor of Merchant Mountain City, then there had to be a person of sufficient weight holding down the fort.
Originally, this person ought to be Yan Huangjiu. Since he'd chosen Yan Qingxue to be the successor of the City Governor, then he ought to completely put an end to the thoughts of the others and support Yan Qingxue to ascend the position.
But unfortunately, perhaps it was because Yan Huangjiu was already old, or perhaps he had fantasies towards his other sons, but he actually started to hesitate. On one hand, he didn't want the sects of Southern Xiangnan to encroach on Merchant Mountain City, yet on the other hand, he didn't directly support Yan Qingxue.
Since it was like this, then Su Xin could only create an opportunity himself to make Yan Huangjiu completely break off relations with the other powers of Southern Xiangnan, and make him have to support Yan Qingxue to ascend the position of City Governor.
Su Xin had intentionally heavily injured Mo Tianlan and the others, and if he didn't heavily injure them, then how could the Nine Radiance Sword Sect and the other three powers dispatch Essence Soul Realm experts to kill him?
So long as they arrived at Merchant Mountain City, then they would surely touch Yan Huangjiu's bottom line.
Merchant Mountain City was a power of its own, and it had never been a vassal of the other powers of the Martial World. No one could act presumptuously in Merchant Mountain City, and this was Yan Huangjiu's bottom line!
In the past, these powers kept a low profile, and they only sent out inconspicuous disciples to assist Yan Zhongheng and the others.
But as time went on, they went more and more overboard, and even a direct line disciple like Mo Tianlan brazenly brought people over. Actually, this had already touched Yan Huangjiu's bottom line, but he still endured it and didn't say anything.
Since it was like this, Su Xin could only heavily injure or even cripple Mo Tianlan and the others, and directly draw out the Essence Soul Realm experts of these four powers. Let's see if you, Yan Huangjiu, can still endure it.
As for why he didn't directly kill those four people, it was because Su Xin didn't want Merchant Mountain City to be completely destroyed.
Heavily injuring or crippling someone and directly killing someone were utterly two different existences.
Their direct line disciple being seriously injured would make them angry, but if Su Xin really killed them, then the four powers and Merchant Mountain City wouldn't just be angry.
The death of their direct line disciple was enough to make the four powers go crazy. If Su Xin died, Yan Qingxue might not even be able to escape, and even Merchant Mountain City would suffer.
Although Merchant Mountain City wasn't weak now, it definitely couldn't withstand the crazy revenge of the four powers united together.
Su Xin still wanted Yan Qingxue to smoothly ascend to the position of the City Lord, so Mo Tianlan and the others could be seriously injured or even crippled, but they absolutely couldn't die.
This time, Su Xin was right. Four Essence Soul Realm martial artists attacked without permission in Merchant Mountain City, and this definitely touched Yan Huangjiu's bottom line.
From today onwards, Yan Huangjiu had almost completely fallen out with the Martial World powers of Xiangnan.
Similarly, Yan Zhongheng and the others, who had the background of the various powers of Xiangnan, no longer had the slightest qualification to ascend to the position of the City Lord. Yan Qingxue becoming the City Lord of Merchant Mountain City was already in the bag.
