The Su family of Ningyuan Store had been in seclusion for nearly 10,000 years. For them, status in Ningyuan Store had never been ranked according to strength, but according to bloodline.
Only those with direct bloodlines were qualified to compete with those with direct bloodlines. As for those with collateral bloodlines, even if they had reached the Divine Transformation Realm, they still could not compare to a direct disciple in the Acquired Realm.
Originally, this was not a big deal. Even the collateral disciples of the Su Family were used to it. After all, so many years had passed, even they themselves had the impression that they only had collateral bloodlines in their bodies. They could not be compared to the direct descendants at all. Therefore, they were born to be inferior to them.
This kind of thinking accumulated over time and became a habit. In the end, even if they were angry, they did not dare to show it.
However, now that the Su family had left Ningyuan Store, they had realized that they should have a higher status.
In the outside world, a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm was qualified to establish a sect.
Although it was only a small second-rate force, it was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a cow. It was better to be the Great Ancestor of a sect and have prestige in their own territory than to be the grandson of someone else, right?
Moreover, even if they did not establish their own force, warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm would still get the respect they deserved as guests of other forces.
For those aristocratic families that recruited guests, warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm were the backbone of the battle. They recruited people so that they could help them at critical moments. If they were too harsh on people, who would come to them when the time came?
If their reputation was ruined, then the sect would be in big trouble. It was estimated that no one would come to them in the future.
Moreover, if that was the case, then it would still be better. If you dared to disrespect those Soul Formation Realm guests today, then some of the more ruthless ones would dare to trick you at the crucial moment.
Therefore, they had always treated the guests and guests recruited by these aristocratic families with courtesy. They also had to act like they were worthy of respect.
As the saying went, there would be no harm if there was no comparison. These collateral disciples of the Su family saw how other sects and aristocratic families treated warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm and then looked at themselves. Although they were of the same clan, they were treated even worse than servants.
Therefore, when Su Zhongyuan scolded them harshly, a martial artist in the Divine Transformation Realm from a branch family immediately stood up and defended himself, "When those aristocratic families and sects heard that we came to collect offerings, some of them feigned civility, while some of them even mocked us directly or refused to see us. What can you do to us?"
Su Zhongyuan scolded, "Idiot! With so many of you attacking together, are you all trash? Those small second-rate sects only had warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm, while those small third-rate sects didn't even have warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm.
You have a few Soul Formation cultivators and a few dozen Connate Cultivators. Don't you dare to attack a small sect or a small family? I'm calling you trash and idiots, and you're still not willing? "
The martial artist in the collateral Divine Transformation Realm argued, "But if we use force, won't we anger all the martial arts forces in the Beiyuan Path just like last time?
At that time, all the forces in the martial arts world of Beiyuan Taoism will unite, and even Dugu and Su Xin may take action. Now that the Patriarch is injured and in seclusion, how can our Su family resist?
I'm afraid that at that time, the Su family will throw us out to be the scapegoats in order to appease the anger of the major forces in the martial arts world! "
Last time, all the martial arts forces in the Beiyuan Path and Dugu family came to attack them, it had already left a deep impression on them. In particular, in the end, Su Xin directly threatened the Su family's Patriarch to take out Su Zhongyuan's life as a bet.
One had to know that Su Zhongyuan was a direct descendant of the Su family. If the Su family was forced into a corner, they would even dare to take out their own direct descendant. At that time, what would they, the collateral bloodlines and some followers do? The Su Family would definitely sell them out without any hesitation.
These people were not fools. Of course, they knew what the Su family's Patriarch and the others were like. Therefore, they would rather risk being reprimanded by Su Zhongyuan than use force.
Now, they would be reprimanded by Su Zhongyuan for not doing their job well. However, once they made a move against those sects and clans, there was a risk that they would be thrown out by the Su family as scapegoats.
Therefore, before this, they were actually prepared to be reprimanded by Su Zhongyuan. However, they did not expect Su Zhongyuan to go so far. This was no longer a reprimand; it was simply a naked insult. Moreover, he was insulting them in front of everyone. This was something they could not tolerate.
Su Zhongyuan looked at the warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm with a cold gaze and said in a strict tone, "Su Zhongying, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I will sell you out? "
Su Zhongying was also a warrior of the same generation as Su Zhongyuan. He had reached the Divine Transformation Realm in his thirties.
The collateral bloodlines of the Su family were actually not that bad. Although there was a difference in the concentration of their bloodline compared to the direct bloodline, the difference was not that great.
At the very least, the time it took for Su Zhongying to reach the Divine Transformation Realm was not much longer than Su Zhongyuan.
Su Zhongying shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. I just said that there is such a risk. Moreover, I am also thinking about the Su family."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Su Zhongyuan's eyes. "Thinking about the Su family? Are you saying that I am not thinking about the Su family, and that I am harming the Su family? "
Without waiting for Su Zhongying to say anything, Su Zhongyuan shouted, "Who do you think you are? You are just a bastard of the collateral family!
The Su family was kind enough not to drive you out of Ningyuan Hall and take back your bloodline. Otherwise, do you think you are qualified to bark in front of me? "
Upon hearing this, a hint of hatred suddenly appeared in Su Zhongying's eyes. He shouted angrily, "Su Zhongyuan! Don't go too far! "
Su Zhongyuan sneered and said, "I go too far? I'm going to do even worse things to come! "
As soon as his voice fell, Su Zhongyuan directly attacked, rushing toward Su Zhongying with a punch!
This punch was like the sun rising from the east. It shone brightly, and its power was boundless. This was a punch from Su Zhongyuan with his full strength. It simply did not give Su Zhongying the slightest chance to react, and it was directly aimed at seriously injuring him!
Although Su Zhongying's realm was the same as Su Zhongyuan's, as a collateral family disciple, the cultivation methods and martial arts techniques he had learned were far inferior to Su Zhongyuan's.
Under the premise that both sides did not have much combat experience, Su Zhongying did not react in time and hurriedly blocked. He was immediately hit by Su Zhongying's punch and vomited blood. He was seriously injured on the spot!
Wei Zhangdong and the others were dumbfounded.
In fact, the mission that Su Xin gave Qi Long was very simple. It was to sow discord between the direct bloodline and the collateral bloodline.
After Qi Long received this mission, he found Wei Zhangdong and the others according to the contents of the mission.
Although the abilities of these three people were not the strongest among the Windchaser Hunters, they had all carried out similar missions. They were good at sowing discord and fishing in troubled waters.
Therefore, this time when they came to the Su family, they also made a series of plans. They did not expect to see such a scene as soon as they arrived at the Su family.
However, this was also good. There was no need to sow discord. What they needed to do now was to add fuel to the fire, making the struggle and hatred between the direct bloodline and the collateral bloodline even more intense to the point where it was irreparable. Only then would their mission be considered a success.
At this time, Su Zhongying was injured by Su Zhongyuan. This was something that no one had expected.
Even so, Su Zhongyuan still did not want to let him go. He directly stepped forward, wanting to make a move.
However, the other warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm who were with Su Zhongying reacted and hurriedly stopped him.
There were three of them in total. Although their strength was not as strong as Su Zhongyuan's, it was not that far off. Therefore, the three of them worked together to restrain Su Zhongyuan, forcing him to stop.
However, although Su Zhongyuan stopped, he looked at the three people who had made a move with cold eyes and sneered. "Good, good, good. You guys actually dare to attack me. A group of bastards actually dared to be so presumptuous. They are simply lawless!
Today, I will give you one last chance. Go down the mountain and collect all the tributes from those sects. Kneel and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, you will be punished by the family tomorrow! "
After saying this, Su Zhongyuan directly turned around and left, leaving behind a few people who were dumbfounded.
At this time, there were still many warriors and guests of the Su family present, but none of them made a sound.
The direct bloodline of the Su family did not make a sound because they felt that it was not a big deal.
They were very contemptuous of these collateral bloodlines and did not treat them as their own clan at all. They were more like slaves.
Now that the slaves dared to talk back to the master, what was wrong with teaching them a lesson? Was it not okay? It was a very normal thing to do.
However, the disciples of the Su family, who were also from the collateral bloodline, felt very disappointed.
Although the other direct bloodline members of the Su family were not as bad as Su Zhongyuan, they presumably thought the same as Su Zhongyuan.
After all, some of the blood of the Su family flowed in their bodies, but in their hearts, they were no different from slaves.
The guests recruited by the Su Clan also frowned, feeling a little awkward.
The people of the Su Clan were simply unreasonable. Did the Su Clan really think that they were the Emperor? Their attitude towards the hanger-ons was like that of servants.
Even the Human Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom was very polite to the warriors of the military and the Six Fan School.
However, the guests of the Su family were almost all in the Innate Realm. Even if they were dissatisfied, no one would say it.
They had seen the strength and overbearingness of the Su family. Those who were able to become guests of the Su family were all Itinerant Cultivators.
If they really dared to speak here and anger the Su family, they were afraid that Su Zhongyuan would kill them with a slap and no one would care.
However, even so, some people already had the idea of leaving the Su family.
They sold their martial strength as guests, but they did not sell their lives and dignity.
At most, they would give up the cultivation resources that the Su family gave them. Even if they had to find another sect, they would not be humiliated here.
