Many martial arts forces in Beiyuan could not enter the Dugu Clan's territory. Behind them, Su Xin's Six Fan School was closing in. These sects had no choice but to migrate to the southernmost area, which was the area around Wutong Mountain.
At this point, Su Xin finally stopped. This made those martial arts sects immediately heave a sigh of relief.
Although it was very painful for these martial arts forces to abandon their sects that they had developed for decades or even centuries, for some of the second-rate and third-rate forces, things like sects were really not the most important. For them, as long as they did not lose anyone, it was fine.
There were hundreds of martial arts forces that were driven away by Su Xin. Some martial arts forces chose to settle down in Henan Province, while more chose to settle down around Wutong Mountain.
Since ancient times, Henan Province had been the territory of Shaolin Temple. Those monks liked to meddle in other people's business. If some of the local martial arts forces did anything out of line, Shaolin Temple would intervene.
Moreover, Taihang Mountain Stronghold was in Henan Province. These bandits were terrifyingly powerful. If you did not provoke them, it would be fine. But once you provoked them, your whole family would be exterminated. Their ruthlessness was not inferior to Su Xin's.
Therefore, compared to Henan Province, they would rather stay in Beiyuan Province. Although the surroundings were crowded, it was better than being cautious in Henan Province.
At this time, the Su Family was also having a discussion. The reason for the discussion was naturally because many martial arts forces had entered their territory.
Everyone in the Su Family was naturally happy to see these martial arts forces swarming into their Su Family's territory. This was very beneficial to them.
The Dugu Clan did not accept these martial arts forces in Beiyuan Province because the Dugu Clan had already developed to the limit.
They had enough hanger-ons and vassals. Although it was said that the more the better, the problem was that this was Beiyuan Province, the capital of Zhou Kingdom. If the Dugu Clan dared to develop to the scale of an adult gang, it was purely courting death.
However, the Su Family was different. Now that the Su Family had set foot in Jianghu again, and the Su Family was originally small, they needed a large number of hanger-ons to fill the family forces.
At the same time, they also needed some vassal families to strengthen their external forces.
Originally, the Su Clan had indeed recruited some loose cultivators. However, not only were there insufficient numbers, but their quality was also not good.
As for those small clans that had originally pledged their allegiance to the Su Family, the Su Family really didn't think much of them.
However, more than half of the Northern Plains Path's factions had gathered around the Su Family. Among them, many factions wanted to find a backer.
As one of the Three Hidden Clans, the Su Clan's strength was comparable to the Su Clan of the Six Great Clans. This was undoubtedly a good choice.
Therefore, during this period of time, Su clan's people were very happy. They recruited many forces to join Su clan, and their power was even faintly approaching Northern Plains' Dugu clan.
However, the more it was like this, the more unwilling Su Mingli was.
Su Mingyuan was now the head of the Su family. After Su Mingli failed to assassinate Su Xin, Su Mingyuan became the head of the Su family.
The direct descendants of the Su Clan didn't have any opinion about Su Xin making a move against him. Anyway, they didn't have any sense of identity with Su Xin. Even if he was strong, it couldn't change the fact that he was a collateral bloodline descendant of the Su Clan.
However, if Su Mingli succeeded in assassinating Su Xin, it would be fine. After all, it was beneficial to the entire Su Clan. However, the problem was that Su Mingli failed and almost caused Su Xin to destroy the Su Clan's Bloodline Formation. This meant that he didn't do his job well.
Therefore, even if Su Mingli made a move against Su Xin, it was still a mistake. Because of this, Su Mingli no longer had the qualifications to compete with Su Mingyuan for the position of the head of the clan. Su Mingyuan also became the head of the clan because of this matter.
However, even so, Su Mingyuan, who became the head of the clan, was still not happy.
Su Mingli's idiotic action directly turned a clansman who could help the Su Clan gain a foothold in Jianghu into a mortal enemy. When Su Mingyuan learned of this matter, he wanted to strangle this idiot to death.
However, it had already happened. It was useless to regret it. As the head of the clan, Su Mingyuan not only had to consider the current development of the Su Clan, but he also had to secretly be on guard against Su Xin.
Su Mingyuan had also studied Su Xin for a long time.
This person's strong desire for revenge was rarely seen in the world. Because of the hatred in the past, Su Xin dared to kill Jueyan in the Kunlun Mystery Land and offended the Shaolin Temple. Compared to the Shaolin Temple, the Su Clan was really nothing.
Moreover, Su Mingyuan already knew about the movement of the Six Fan School. At that time, Su Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat. He thought that this time, Su Xin would definitely come to the Su Clan to find trouble.
However, the result was unexpected.
Su Xin did not pay attention to the Su Clan at all. Instead, he expelled most of the martial arts sects in the Northern Plains to the Su Clan, allowing the Su Clan to benefit.
Su Xin's action made Su Mingyuan abnormally confused. He did not believe that Su Xin was the kind of person who would return good for evil.
Su Mingyuan was not persecuted and delusional. As one of the few people in the Su Clan who was considered to be more scheming, Su Mingyuan's intuition told him that there must be something wrong here. Unfortunately, he could not detect it.
This gave Su Mingyuan a headache. Most of the people in the Su Clan had cultivated for decades or even hundreds of years. Their scheming and shrewdness were very shallow.
They could make a move, but if they wanted to compare with the warriors who had been in Jianghu since they were young and experienced countless conspiracies, perhaps even a Xiantian Realm warrior could easily play them to death.
Because of this, Su Mingyuan could not even find someone to discuss with.
Because of this worry in his heart, Su Mingyuan called all of the experts of the Su Family's direct bloodline to convene this meeting. It was all for the sake of stopping the Su Family's crazy expansion and figuring out Su Xin's crafty plot before doing anything else.
Unfortunately, when Su Mingyuan said this, almost all the direct bloodline of the Su Clan opposed it.
Su Mingli sneered and said, "Su Mingyuan, what are you trying to do? Don't you want to see our Su Clan become stronger? Now that our Su Clan has just set foot in Jianghu, we cannot waste even a minute and a second.
We are already weaker than those top forces in Jianghu, but now you are so paranoid. When can our Su Clan truly rise? "
Su Mingli's words were very impolite. Of course, there were some who spoke politely, but they were all opposed.
One of the Harmonious God Realm experts of the Su Clan said, "Clan Head, are you overworking yourself recently so you think too much? Even if Su Xin wants to deal with our Su Clan, he needs to have the strength to do so.
This time, Su Xin did make a big move in Beiyuan Path, but he did not dare to do anything to the Dugu Clan. He did not offend the Dugu Clan's territory, and he did not even dare to move.
Our Su Clan's current strength is not much weaker than the Dugu Clan. What does Su Xin have to deal with us?
Since this person has already made a big enemy of our Su Clan, we might as well directly remove his name from our Su Clan's genealogy, and then find a chance to deal with him.
Even if Su Xin is one of the four Super Arresters of the Six Doors, he is only a Divine Transformation Realm warrior. Don't worry. "
Su Mingyuan rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on.
The people of the Su Clan still did not understand. Although strength was the most important, sometimes strength did not mean everything.
How old was Su Xin this year? He was not even 30 years old, but he was already on the Earth List and became one of the four Super Arresters of the Six Doors.
If Su Xin was given another few decades, how far would he grow?
If they did not guard against Su Xin now, they were afraid that Su Xin would not even need to use tricks to deal with the Su Clan in the future.
However, before Su Mingyuan could speak, the other warriors of the Su Clan also objected.
For them, slowing down the expansion of the Su Clan would not only affect the interests of the Su Clan, but also their own interests.
All the power of the Su Clan was now in the hands of the direct descendants of the Su Clan.
These people of the Su Clan had never come into contact with this kind of power before. Now that they had come into contact with the benefits of going all out, they immediately began to frantically expand their power.
After all, commanding thousands of people meant that countless martial arts forces had to be respectful to you. This kind of situation was much more satisfying than commanding a dozen collateral relatives in the Secret Realm of the Ningyuan Store.
Therefore, during this time, instead of saying that the Su Clan was expanding, it was better to say that they were the ones expanding.
Whether in the Ningyuan Store or outside, the Su Clan did not have the so-called centralized power system. All the direct descendants could form their own forces.
Just like now, the subordinates and forces they recruited only belonged to themselves, not to the Su Clan. They could be ordered by anyone.
If Su Mingyuan wanted to affect the interests of everyone, of course, they had to object.
After arguing for a long time, the final decision was still up to the Old Ancestor of the Su Clan.
The Old Ancestor of the Su Clan thought for a moment and said, "Let's discuss it again."
He did not say yes or no, but only said to discuss it again. However, Su Mingyuan's face turned gray. Su Mingli and the others laughed and left.
Although the Old Ancestor of the Su Clan did not say yes or no, he actually agreed with the views of Su Mingli and the others by delaying it. He said to discuss it again just to maintain the dignity of Su Mingyuan as the Family Master.
Su Mingyuan left the council hall with a wry smile. As the Family Master, he had long lost his dignity.
Below him, Su Mingli and the others were dissatisfied and stirred up trouble. Above him, the Old Ancestor of the Su Clan was suppressing them. Most of the time, as the Family Master, he was just a decoration and a person who gave ideas.
The Family Masters of other aristocratic families had more power. Unless there was a major event related to the survival of the whole family, the Old Ancestor of the family would take action. Otherwise, he would usually cultivate in seclusion.
However, it was different for the Su Clan. The Old Ancestor of the Su Clan still had the decision-making power for all matters. Everything had to be reported to him first.
Because of this, Su Mingyuan's power was also weakened a lot. Unfortunately, the Old Ancestor of the Su Clan was the pillar of the Su Clan, so he did not dare to have any complaints.
