When Su Xin and the others arrived, the two Divine Transformation Realm warriors of the Fei family personally came to greet them, which surprised Su Xin.
Fei Mo and Fei Luo, the 'Smiling Ghost', and Fei Mo, the 'Night Weeping God', didn't look like people from the Central Plains. Instead, they looked more like the foreigners from the thirty-six countries of the Western Region, with their sunken eyes and high noses.
Seeing Su Xin's surprised look, Fei Luo smiled and said, "Lord Su, don't be surprised. Our ancestors are from the 36 countries of the Western Region, but we already settled down in Jiangnan during the era of the Eastern Jin."
Su Xin nodded, and after a few words of greeting, he followed them into the Fei family's residence. At the same time, he sighed at how difficult it was for the Fei family to settle down in Jiangnan.
When the Eastern Jin dominated the Central Plains, it was the darkest time for the 36 countries of the Western Region. All 36 countries were beaten by the Eastern Jin.
Oh, yes, there were more than 36 countries in the Western Region at that time. There were more than 30 countries that were destroyed by the East Jin Kingdom when they were defeated.
Therefore, the people of the Central Plains looked down on the foreign tribes of the Western Region. They even thought of them as inferior races that were not worthy of being on the same side as them.
For the Fei family to be able to take root in Jiangnan at that time, it was easy to imagine how much hardship they had to endure.
Of course, things were much better now. Although the Zhou Kingdom had fought the 36 countries twice after it was established, most of its attention was on the Eastern Jin and the Golden Horde Kingdom, so it did not pay much attention to the 36 countries.
This allowed them to gradually recover. Some of them had come to the Central Plains before, such as the Fire Demon God, Yan Naruo, who was ranked fourth on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
After entering the mansion, Filo immediately arranged for a banquet to be served. It was clear that everything had already been prepared. Furthermore, he had arranged for a few dancers from the Western Regions to accompany them. This kind of exotic atmosphere was rarely seen in the outside world.
After the meal, Su Xin asked directly, "Patriarch Fei, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Su Xin was planning to go to the other prefectures to select more people. He didn't have the time to deal with these two from the Fei Family.
Filo and Fermo glanced at each other, and then Filo said, "Fine. I'll tell you directly, Lord Su. It's like this.
My Fei Clan was born in the thirty-six countries of the Western Region, so the cultivation method we practice requires the assistance of specific pills. Moreover, our Fei Clan is proficient in the art of alchemy different from the Central Plains, so some of the herbs we need can only be found in the thirty-six countries of the Western Region.
However, this will consume too much manpower and material resources. Moreover, you also know that the 36 countries of the Western Region are too chaotic, Lord Su.
We originally supported a small tribe there to help us purchase herbs, but they were wiped out in a few years, so we wanted to find a place to grow those herbs in Jiangnan.
The environment of the 36 countries of the Western Region is different from that of the Jiangnan Circuit. That's why we spent a lot of effort to find a place that was the only place in the Jiangnan Circuit that was suitable for growing those herbs.
However, that place is not in the prefectures and is controlled by a local second-rate force, the Qingping Sect. My Fei Clan once went to buy that piece of land, but the Qingping Sect demanded an exorbitant price, demanding an Artifact Armor and a Profound Grade Weapon that had been passed down in my Fei Clan. "
At this point, Filo and Fermer's expressions became angry. The Qingping Sect was deliberately making things difficult for them.
Although that piece of land was in the Qingping Sect's territory, it was actually just a wasteland with no use at all. It could be bought with silver.
If the Qingping Sect wanted some cultivation resources, the Fei Clan would also pinch their nose and give it to them.
However, the Qingping Sect actually wanted their Artifact Armor and Profound Grade Weapon. This was a bit too much.
Cultivation resources could be produced again if they ran out, but the Artifact Armor and Profound Grade Weapon had been passed down from their ancestors. As long as the Fei Clan did not decline, they could continue to pass it down. How could they give such things to others?
Filo smiled bitterly. "So this time, I wanted to ask for your help, Lord Su. Help us obtain this piece of land from the Qingping Sect. Of course, we won't be asking for your help for free.
Although our Fei Clan's martial arts techniques require these kinds of pills, these pills can also be absorbed by martial artists who cultivate other techniques.
Thus, after the medicinal herbs produced on this piece of land are refined into pills, half of them will belong to you, Lord Su. "
Su Xin thought for a moment, then asked, "I remember that the Qingping Sect's strength is inferior to your Fei Clan's.
Whether it is their techniques or martial arts techniques, they can only be considered mediocre. Furthermore, there is only one old Soul Transformation martial artist in the sect. With your Fei Clan's strength, swallowing them up shouldn't be a problem. Why do you have to ask me for help? "
A bitter smile appeared on Fei Luo's face once more. "Sir Su, don't be fooled by the fact that our Fei Clan has taken root in the Jiangnan region. In fact, there aren't any sects that are friendly with our Fei Clan.
If our Fei Clan starts a war with the Qingping Sect, I guarantee that those martial arts sects that are on good terms with the Qingping Sect will come to their aid. Our Fei Clan will be isolated and helpless.
Thus, even though there are no longer any restrictions on sects fighting in Jiangnan, our Fei Clan still doesn't dare to make a move. If we can protect ourselves, we will already be thanking the heavens. "
Su Xin nodded. This Fei Clan's work was really not easy.
However, another thought appeared in Su Xin's head at this moment. Perhaps he could pull the Fei Clan over to his side?
Of course, this was only a temporary thought in Su Xin's head. The Fei family was different from the Wen family. The Wen family had already run out of options, so they had to cooperate with Su Xin.
However, the Fei family was used to being cautious. They would never risk the future of the clan.
Su Xin turned around and said to the chief of detectives of the Qingyang prefecture, "Go tell the Qingping Sect tomorrow and get them to hand over the land."
Then, Su Xin said to Filo, "You don't need to give me the pills either. Just give them to the school of Six Doors of the Qingyang prefecture. They were the ones who helped us obtain the land, so you obviously have to give them the pills too."
The chief of detectives of the Qingyang prefecture was immediately overjoyed. He stood up and said, "Thank you for your reward, sir."
No one would ever complain about having too many cultivation resources. As the chief of detectives of the Jiangnan prefecture, all the resources handed down from above were in Su Xin's hands. Although the school of Six Doors forbade embezzlement, Su Xin was not stupid enough to actually be incorruptible.
He and his trusted subordinates had to satisfy these cultivation resources first anyway. Only then could he distribute the rest to his subordinates, so he really did not care about the pills the Fei family had given him.
The Fei brothers thanked Su Xin overjoyed and personally escorted them out of the prefecture before returning. In order to show their importance, they even specially sent a caretaker of the Fei family to follow Su Xin's group until they left the city.
"Old Huang, which prefecture should we go to next?" Su Xin asked.
As Huang Bingcheng walked, he took out a booklet and glanced at it, "We should go to the Southern Dock prefecture."
"Alright then. Let's go directly to the south city. The people recruited by the Qingyang manor can directly report to the Jiangnan manor." As Su Xin made his way to the south city, he dismissed the chief of detectives of the Qingyang manor.
He had chosen these people from the Qingyang prefecture, so he needed to change their information.
But at this moment, Su Xin felt a cold killing intent rush over.
Before him were the people of the Qingyang prefecture who were about to leave the city. There were several hundred people in the surroundings. With so many people, even Su Xin could not tell who had released the killing intent.
As a result, as soon as he sensed the killing intent, Su Xin immediately called out, "Be careful!"
But at this moment, the person in the crowd who had released the killing intent had already struck out.
Three people in black with bamboo hats walked out quickly. They did not give off even the slightest aura as they stabbed towards Su Xin with their three black swords.
Li Bo charged out first. He arrived before one of the people in black almost immediately. The Sword of Wandering Dragon in his hand produced a deafening rumble as he unleashed the Sword of Warding Evil, stabbing out thirty-six times in a single instant.
However, when the sword stabbed the person in black, it only produced a series of metallic clangs. It only managed to stop him for a moment.
Li Bo's expression immediately changed. The body of the person in black was even more powerful than a Shaolin monk who had practised the Golden Bell Cocoon. His sword had actually failed to even pierce through the person's skin.
At this moment, the person in black seemed to be slightly slower. His black sword turned around and sent Li Bo flying with a single strike. The force was so great that even Li Bo struggled to endure it.
Seeing this, Zhao Yiming also charged over to assist Li Bo with his two swords, clashing with the person in black. Only when the two of them worked together did they barely manage to keep the person busy.
Seeing this, Liu Hao and the chief of detectives of the Qingyang manor immediately charged towards one of the people in black as well. As soon as they clashed, they too found the situation troublesome.
The martial arts of these people in black seemed to be very simple, but their bodies were far too powerful.
Liu Hao's Palm of Chaotic Elements was powerful and heavy, but when it landed on the person in black, his hands became numb from the shock. He felt like he had struck a heavy piece of Xuanyuan metal.
As for the last black-clothed man, no one stopped him and he charged straight at Su Xin.
The caretaker of the Fei family who Ferro had sent to escort Su Xin out of the city immediately scrambled back to the Fei family to report the situation when he saw that the situation was not good.
It was not that he did not want to help, but his own strength was only at the great perfection of the Acquired realm. He would definitely be killed instantly if he came up, so it was best if he contacted the patriarch quickly.
Originally, the Fei family's plan had gone very smoothly. Su Xin did not make things difficult for them at all, agreeing to their request.
However, in the end, Su Xin and the others had actually been assassinated as soon as they left the Fei family. Would Su Xin believe that the Fei family was involved in this?
If Su Xin vented his anger on the Fei family because of this, then they would truly be reduced to tears.
However, Su Xin remained expressionless as he faced the final person in black. Only when the person arrived before him did Su Xin strike.
He extended his hand, and five tremendous strands of sword Qi sprayed out. They were invisible and formless, the Innate Invisible Sword Qi that pierced through the body!
