Tie Wuqing nodded. "They are indeed outsiders and they have a powerful background. They are a martial arts force from the central plains."
"A martial arts force from the central plains?" Su Xin was surprised. "What are the martial arts forces from the central plains doing in Xiangnan?"
"Speaking of which, part of the reason is because of you."
"Me?" Su Xin pointed at himself in surprise.
Tie Wuqing nodded. "It's because of you. Do you remember how you monopolized Nanman's specialty in Shangshan City and sold that batch of goods for a sky-high price of 50 million taels?
Although Xiangnan's specialty was profitable, it was only 10 million taels of silver. Those big sects from the central plains didn't care about it.
Now that you've increased the price of this batch of specialty products by five times, it has attracted some people's attention.
50 million taels of silver is the annual tax revenue of a province in the Zhou Kingdom. Even a small place like Xiangnan doesn't even get 30 million taels of silver. "
Su Xin frowned. "From what I know, those big sects from the central plains don't lack money. For example, the Xuanyuan heavy iron that Mingjian Villa produced in a year is worth up to 100 million. Why would they specially send people for Xiangnan's money?"
Tie Wuqing rubbed his nose and said, "A first-rate sect like Mingjian Villa, one of the Five Sword Bearing Sects, of course wouldn't send people to Xiangnan just for this little bit of profit. Actually, those who are jealous of Xiangnan's profit are second-rate or even third-rate sects.
The truly troublesome ones are the Seven Gangs, Zheng Sword Alliance, Nian Gang, Shangguan Family, etc. In order to train their own disciples, they sent them to Xiangnan for a fight. The bet is to see who has the biggest influence in Xiangnan until the opponent is completely chased out of Xiangnan.
If the Flying Eagle Sect was unlucky, then so be it. After they helped you monopolize Xiangnan's specialties and earned the silver from the competition, those second and third class sects would be jealous. Then, they would encourage the disciples of the Zheng Jian Union to take in all the sects in Xiangnan's various states.
Chang Ning Prefecture is the prefecture of Xiang Nan that is closest to the Southern Barbarian land. The Eagle Gang is also the largest gang in Chang Ning Prefecture. With such a source of wealth in their hands, they are naturally one of the targets that must be incorporated. "
Su Xin frowned and said, "Aren't these forces in the Central Plains a little too much? If they want to train their disciples, why don't they fight in their own territory? Why do they have to come to Xiangnan? Don't the Wulin forces of Xiangnan Province care? "
Tie Wuqing shrugged and said, "It's very simple. It's because the Xiangnan Pugilistic World is weak. The weak deserve to be bullied.
Do you know how the East Jin Kingdom trained its soldiers in the past? Every year, they would send a large number of soldiers to invade other small countries, not to plunder, but to train their soldiers.
There were currently 36 kingdoms in the Western Region, but in the past, there were more than 70 small kingdoms. Half of them were destroyed by Eastern Jin's military training policy.
The number of troops that Eastern Jin Empire sends out every year is the same. If you can stop them, Eastern Jin Empire won't attack again. If you can't, the country will be destroyed.
The Xiangnan Empire now is equivalent to the Western Region back then. If you are not strong enough, you can only be bullied by others. "
Tie Wuqing's face revealed a cold smile. "Ever since Mad Lion Du Yuansheng's Sanxiang Martial Union collapsed more than 10 years ago, the Xiangnan Pugilistic World has been unable to recover.
The true experts either died on the way to attack Eastern Jin Empire or were purged by the imperial court. What's left are some useless weaklings. When the Zheng Sword Union and Nian Gang train their disciples in their territory, they don't even dare to let out a fart.
Not to mention stopping them, I'm afraid that they have already gathered all their disciples back, afraid that they will offend those families. "
Su Xin thought for a while and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Sir Tie, for telling me this. It seems that I have to make a trip back to Chang Ning Prefecture first."
Tie Wuqing said, "Don't forget that you are now a member of Six Doors. If they go overboard, the headquarters of Xiangnan Empire's Six Doors will naturally not stand by and watch.
But if they don't break the rules too much, I can't do anything. After all, even Six Doors will have to be wary of the people behind them. "
Su Xin nodded. He understood what Tie Wuqing meant.
Although Six Doors was nominally in charge of monitoring all the sects in the martial arts world, and sometimes even massacred sects, it also depended on who the target was.
However, that kind of thing also depended on who the target was. If the other party was a second or third-rate sect, it would be fine. However, the other party was a first-rate sect like the Zheng Sword Alliance or the Nian Gang. Six Fan School had no choice but to be cautious.
If Six Doors made a move before the other party went overboard, the other party would not let it go.
After Tie Wuqing left, Su Xin did not rush to Chang Ning Prefecture. Instead, he entered the system.
After the Merchant Mountain City mission, Su Xin now had 840 Villain Points. He had five intermediate lottery draws and seven beginner lottery draws.
Su Xin thought about it and decided to exchange the three intermediate lottery draws for Villain Points. That way, he would have 1020 Villain Points.
The real Blood River Godly Sword was made up of three parts. They were the sword technique, the Blood River Finger, and the weapon Godly Sword, Blood River.
Su Xin had spent 1,300 Anti-Faction Points to exchange for the Blood River Godly Sword. Now, he only needed to spend 700 Anti-Faction Points to exchange for the Blood River Godly Finger. He had 320 Anti-Faction Points left to exchange for one-time consumables.
There was no need to use the seven beginner lottery draws. As for the two intermediate lottery draws, Su Xin thought about it and said, "Let's just draw it and get rid of the empty options."
The wheel on the big screen in the system space started to spin. The first draw was a bottle of intermediate Qi Replenishing Pills. The system evaluation was only one and a half stars. For the current Su Xin, it was better than nothing.
The second draw started. The wheel slid to the consumables section and stopped. An old man in purple official robes appeared on the big screen.
"Congratulations, Host. You have drawn a one-time consumable, Skyward Staff. Character: Mi Cang Qiong. Technique evaluation: three and a half stars."
Su Xin's expression was strange. He had drawn a eunuch. However, this eunuch was probably the most unique eunuch in Wuxia novels.
Since ancient times, nine out of ten masters in the palace were eunuchs. Mi Cang Qiong was the number one master in the palace in the series "Who's a Hero?". He was given the name Mi Youqiao by the emperor himself. He formed the Youqiao Group with Fang Yingjian.
Mi Cang Qiong was unique because of his martial arts.
In almost all Wuxia novels, the martial arts of eunuchs were evil and vicious. Only such martial arts could reflect the eunuch's flaws and personality.
However, Mi Cang Qiong was different.
He was the direct disciple of the Sutra Severing Hall's Chief Hall Master, Marquis Zhang of Huaiyin. He had learned Marquis Zhang of Huaiyin's "Skyward Staff", which was a combination of the one thousand and one moves of the "Wind Blade Frost Sword".
In terms of seniority, Mi Cang Qiong was of the same generation as Primordial Thirteen Limits and Zhuge Zhengwo.
The other old eunuchs' martial arts were evil and vicious, but Mi Cang Qiong's Skyward Staff was powerful and unparalleled.
He killed Zhang Sanpa, the Tianji Dragon, the first time he made a move. He shocked both the underworld and the underworld with his unparalleled Skyward Staff.
Just based on the fact that the Skyward Staff was rated three and a half stars, one could tell how powerful it was.
It was a good idea to use the Skyward Staff as a trump card to save one's life. The only problem was the weapon.
In the original work, Mi Cang Qiong used one finger to use the Skyward Staff. However, the person using it was Su Xin now. In order to maximize the power of this consumable, Su Xin had to find a staff.
The System Space could not store things that did not belong in the System Space. Su Xin could not carry a staff on his back just for this consumable.
Therefore, he decided to exchange for a wrought iron staff from the System Space when he used the Skyward Staff.
A wrought iron staff with a normal rating of half a star could be exchanged for 20 points in the System Space.
After exiting the System Space, Su Xin passed through the Xiangnan Jungle and headed for Chang Ning Prefecture.
He did not know if it was because of the massacre in the Xiangnan Jungle that the bandits were intimidated, but his journey was very peaceful. There was not even the slightest disturbance along the way.
After walking out of the Xiangnan Jungle, Su Xin noticed that the number of martial artists on the official road had increased.
Some were riding alone, while others were in groups of three to five. All of them were rushing towards Donglin Prefecture.
Other than Chang Ning Prefecture, which was once the capital city of Xiangnan, Donglin Prefecture was twice the size of Chang Ning Prefecture. Tao Qian's dojo used to be in Donglin Prefecture.
Su Xin grabbed a random person and asked, "Why are there so many martial artists on the road heading to Donglin Prefecture? Did something big happen in Donglin Prefecture? "
The martial artist who was grabbed was only at the middle stage of the Postnatal Realm. Su Xin's Xiantian Realm aura was not concealed at all. It almost scared the martial artist to the ground.
The martial artist hurriedly said respectfully, "Young Master Di Yunfei of the Zheng Sword Alliance is in Donglin Prefecture, inviting the heroes of Xiangnan to join him. Moreover, there are also the young talents of the Nian Gang, Runan Shangguan Clan, and other Young Masters in Donglin Prefecture. They are all recruiting, so of course we are rushing to join them."
Su Xin frowned and said, "They are all martial artists from the Central Plains. Are you going to join them without worry?"
The martial artist answered carefully, "Senior, to put it bluntly, even if a wandering martial artist like me wants to join a sect, they won't accept me. Now, the sect that is recruiting people from Xiangnan is a first-class martial arts force like the Zheng Sword Alliance. Moreover, Young Master Di Yunfei is an expert ranked 57th on the Man Roll."
"Alright, you can leave." Su Xin let go of the martial artist and fell into deep thought.
He had underestimated the attractiveness of the big sects of the Central Plains and the experts on the Man Roll to these wandering martial artists.
According to Tie Wuqing's information, these first-class forces sent their disciples to Xiangnan to train, but they did not give them any extra help.
Otherwise, if you had an Essence Soul Realm Martial Dao Master protecting you, how could it be called training?
It could be said that they came to Xiangnan alone and in just a few days, they managed to create such a huge commotion with their reputation, attracting so many Xiangnan Martial Artists to join them. Sometimes, reputation could really be considered as a part of one's strength.
