While Su Mingyuan was worrying about the Su Clan, Su Xin had already arrived at the vicinity of the Su Clan's Wutong Mountain.
The area of three hundred miles around Wutong Mountain was already occupied by these Jianghu forces, so it was quite crowded.
According to the scale of the Northern Plains, there should be at most two or three Jianghu forces inside or outside the prefecture. But now, there were more than ten of them.
With so many Jianghu forces being so close to each other, it was hard to guarantee that there would be some friction. However, these people could be considered to have restrained themselves and did not cause any big commotion.
But unfortunately, if they did not cause a big commotion, what could Su Xin use to weaken the Su Clan and the Dugu Clan?
Although Su Xin promised not to touch the Dugu Clan's territory, he never said that he would not provoke others to touch it.
And at this time, Su Xin was heading towards a second-rate force among these many small families, the Huang Clan's territory.
Six Fan Gate's intelligence was very detailed about the Northern Plains' Dugu tribe. Among them, there was a very interesting piece of news. The current Dugu tribe's patriarch, Dugu Yan, actually had an illegitimate son who was wandering outside.
Logically speaking, as a Harmonious God expert and the Dugu Clan's Patriarch, Dugu Yan did not have any problem with an illegitimate son. As long as it was his son, he would be qualified to stay in the Dugu Clan and become one of the Dugu Clan's successors.
But the problem lied in Dugu Yan's position.
Among the warriors of Dugu Yan's generation, he was not the only one at the Harmonious God Realm. There were also those who were stronger than him. His methods were not considered brilliant. In the end, he was able to become the Dugu Clan's Patriarch, half of the reason was because of his wife.
Dugu Yan's wife was a direct descendant of Jiangnan's Xiao Clan. The Six Great Families intermarried. The Dugu Clan was in the north and the Jiangnan Xiao Clan in the south. There was almost no conflict of interest between the two families, so they allowed the direct descendants to marry.
It was because of his wife's help that Dugu Yan was able to suppress his peers and become the Dugu Clan's Patriarch.
Therefore, Dugu Yan did not fear his wife, but at least treated her with respect. After all, without her help, he would not be able to become the Patriarch.
Moreover, once they fell out with the other party, it was equivalent to offending the Xiao clan. This was not a good thing for their Northern Plains' Dugu clan.
As the head of the Six Great Clans, the Xiao Clan's strength far exceeded that of the Dugu Clan. The benefits of having a strong maiden family were obvious at this time.
At the very least, if Dugu Yan got into a dispute with his wife, even the Dugu Clan wouldn't help him.
Dugu Yan's wife didn't object to her husband having other women outside. In fact, she didn't even care how many there were.
As the saying goes, when awake, he holds the power of the world; when drunk, he lies on the knees of beauties.
Among the numerous experts in this world, apart from those martial artists who wholeheartedly pursued the Dao, who could separate themselves from the word 'power'?
As the head of the Dugu Clan, it was impossible for Dugu Yan to only have one woman, and an extremely powerful one at that.
However, Dugu Yan's wife had made a rule. Dugu Yan could have women, but he couldn't put them under his nose. Furthermore, if he had a son, he had to keep them far away from him. He couldn't even have the surname Dugu.
Although these two orders made Dugu Yan feel very humiliated, he had no choice but to agree to his wife's orders.
The young lady of the Huang family in the past was one of Dugu Yan's women. She even gave birth to a son for him.
However, because of this, Dugu Yan could only send them far away this time. Even when Su Xin attacked the Northern Plains, Dugu Yan didn't let them come to the Dugu Clan's territory. Instead, he directly sent them to the Su family's sphere of influence.
Obviously, he knew about the relationship between the Su family and Su Xin. He guessed that Su Xin would definitely not make a move against the Su family, who were of the same clan.
This time, the breakthrough point of Su Xin's plan was the Huang family.
In the Northern Plains, the Huang family was actually living quite comfortably.
The Huang family was originally only a third-rate clan, and the head of the Huang family was only a Divinity Stage martial artist.
It was because his daughter, Huang Wanyin, became Dugu Yan's woman that the Huang family rose to the top.
The reason why the head of the Huang family was able to become a Divine Transformation Stage martial artist was because of Dugu Yan's guidance and the Dugu Clan's cultivation resources.
Moreover, Dugu Yan knew that he couldn't give Huang Wanyin status, so he gave the Huang family a lot of cultivation resources and benefits.
This was especially so after his son was born. After all, these things were for his son's use.
Because of Dugu Yan's help, even though the Huang family was slightly weaker, they could use the resources given by the Dugu Clan to recruit a large number of hanger-ons. As a result, the nouveau riche Huang family was even more powerful than the veteran second-rate clans.
However, that was before the Huang family moved. Now that the Huang family had moved to the vicinity of Wutong Mountain, most of the hanger-ons who followed the Huang family had directly left.
These people were only recruited by the Huang family with money, so they had no loyalty to the Huang family to speak of.
The storm that Su Xin caused in the Northern Plains was too big. With the Huang family's move, the hanger-ons were immediately afraid that Six Doors would deal with the Huang family.
They were just lone cultivators who sold their lives for money. They weren't going to die for money. Therefore, when the Huang family decided to move, most of them left.
However, the head of the Huang family didn't care. They were just some lone cultivators. He had a lot of resources given by the Dugu Clan, so what experts couldn't he recruit?
Therefore, after settling down in the vicinity of Wutong Mountain, the Huang family didn't rush to visit the Su family like the other clans. Instead, they first recruited hanger-ons and re-developed their own forces.
When the other clans and clans went to visit the Su family on Wutong Mountain, a small number of them wanted to seek refuge with the Su family and find a backer. Most of them just wanted to get familiar with the Su family and treat it as a visit.
After all, this was the Su family's territory. If they wanted to do well here, they couldn't forget about the Su family.
However, these things were really meaningless to the Huang family.
Even the head of the Dugu Clan was the Huang family's son-in-law. Why should they rush to curry favor with the Su family that suddenly appeared?
The Huang family didn't rely on their territory to make a living. It was enough for them to have the help of the Dugu Clan. They didn't need to curry favor with the Su family.
Therefore, when other forces went to Wutong Mountain to visit, the Huang family put up a notice to recruit hanger-ons with great fanfare. The treatment was shockingly generous.
A group of lone cultivators gathered at the entrance of the Huang family's mansion. Some of the Huang family's people were testing the strength of the lone cultivators. As long as they were qualified and had a relatively clean identity, they would not reject anyone and directly recruit them into the Huang family.
However, the strongest hanger-ons who came to apply were only Divinity Realm martial artists. There wasn't a single Divine Transformation Realm martial artist.
In fact, it was normal to think about it. The Huang family's status was obvious. The Huang family originally only had one Divine Transformation Realm martial artist. How could they recruit another Divine Transformation Realm martial artist?
For Divine Transformation Realm martial artists, if they wanted to be a hanger-on in a force, they had to at least have a promising future, not to mention the treatment.
A nouveau riche family like the Huang family didn't have a promising future.
Moreover, the Huang family couldn't provide resources for Divine Transformation Realm martial artists to cultivate.
After all, this thing was extremely precious even in Northern Plains' Dugu tribe. The fact that Dugu Yan was willing to give him some cultivation resources was already enough to make Huang tribe's head thank the heavens and earth. How could he take out this thing to attract guests?
However, this time, the Huang family didn't just want to recruit hanger-ons. At the same time, they also wanted to find a martial arts teacher for the Huang family's young master, Dugu Yan's illegitimate son, Huang Yu.
In fact, as Dugu Yan's illegitimate son, Huang Yu was originally taught by a powerhouse from the Dugu Clan.
However, when Dugu Yan's wife found out about this, she immediately became furious and asked Dugu Yan to take the person back.
She didn't care that Dugu Yan had a woman and a son outside.
However, she couldn't bear the fact that Dugu Yan's illegitimate son would affect her son's position in the future.
Although it was impossible for her to directly send someone to kill that illegitimate son, which would only cause her to completely break off relations with Dugu Yan, she must completely separate that illegitimate son from the Dugu Clan. His surname was Huang for the rest of his life, and he would never be able to enter the Dugu Clan's door in this life.
After such a thing happened, the Huang family had to find someone to teach Huang Yu themselves.
After all, as Dugu Yan's illegitimate son, even if Huang Yu didn't want to fight for the Dugu Clan's position, he still had to be strong enough. Otherwise, Dugu Yan would implicate the Huang family.
However, it wasn't that easy to find a teacher. The Huang family wanted to teach Huang Yu themselves, but in fact, apart from their master who was a Divine Transformation Realm martial artist, the Huang family really didn't have anyone else who could be of use.
Even the master of the Huang family could only learn, but not teach. Even if he was a Divine Transformation Realm martial artist, he still couldn't teach disciples.
Therefore, in the end, the Huang family could only find a local powerhouse who was at the peak of the Divinity Realm to teach Huang Yu.
Unfortunately, Su Xin's incident happened not long after he taught Huang Yu.
The Divinity Realm powerhouse who was a lone cultivator was kind enough to return the gift given by the Huang family to the Huang family and ran away.
Now that the Huang family had taken root here, they naturally wanted to find a reliable martial artist to teach Huang Yu.
However, the hiring of a teacher was different from the recruitment of hanger-ons. Almost no one went to the hiring of a teacher.
To become Huang Yu's teacher, one had to be personally verified by a powerhouse of the Huang family. Although the remuneration was frighteningly generous, the conditions were also frighteningly harsh.
Just now, a few people were tempted and wanted to give it a try, but they were all chased out by the Huang family.
Now, everyone knew that the Huang family really wanted to find a teacher with real skills. It was not like the recruitment of hanger-ons here, who didn't care as long as the person's level was high enough. Therefore, not many people went up and humiliated themselves.
At this time, Su Xin, who had disguised himself as a slightly weathered middle-aged man, walked to the gate of the Huang family under everyone's gaze. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you looking for a martial artist who has experience in teaching disciples to be a teacher?"
