After nightfall, Su Zhongying and the other four warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm gathered together. Su Zhongying's face was pale, while the rest of them looked worried.
They didn't expect what happened during the day to turn out like this.
They didn't blame Su Zhongying for contradicting Su Zhongyuan. After all, Su Zhongyuan's words were so harsh that even they couldn't accept it.
If they blamed Su Zhongying because of this matter, then they would be too shameless.
However, this matter was indeed very tricky.
Just like Su Zhongying said before, asking them to forcibly collect offerings from those clans was purely an act of courting death.
Previously, they saw the scene of the entire Northern Plains Path's clans and the Northern Plains' Dugu Clan joining forces to force the emperor to abdicate. Even with the Su family's strength, they had to admit defeat.
Last time, the Su family's old ancestor even gambled with Su Zhongyuan's life under the threat of Su Xin. If it were them now, they probably wouldn't even need to gamble. It was very likely that they would be directly thrown out to appease the anger of many clans in the Northern Plains Path.
Because of this, they didn't dare to do such a thing.
They weren't idiots. Of course, they could see the risks.
However, if they didn't go, Su Zhongyuan would punish them according to the family rules.
One had to know that with Su Zhongyuan's status in front of Su Mingli, it was very easy for him to punish the collateral disciples.
The Su family's family rules sounded very simple, but those who weren't disciples of the Su family didn't know the cruelty of the family rules.
The Su family used to be a big family under a dynasty, so the rules were also very strict.
All kinds of family rules were extremely cruel. However, these family rules were used to deal with the lineal bloodline. Later, after the Su Family entered the Ningyuan Store, they knew how precious the lineal bloodline was. Therefore, these family rules were prepared for the collateral bloodline. As for the lineal bloodline, although there were also family rules, they were very light. At least, they would be spared the life of the lineal bloodline.
As for the collateral bloodline, hehe, it could only be described as living a life worse than death.
For a long time, the collateral bloodline had been punished by the family rules many times. Even Su Zhongying and the others had seen that kind of miserable appearance. So when they thought of the family rules, they shuddered a little.
The four of them were all frowning, not knowing how to get through this.
But at this moment, someone suddenly said, "Why don't we do it this way? We'll go down the mountain tomorrow, but we'll just walk around those sects. Then, we'll hand over the cultivation resources we've accumulated. What do you think?"
"Stupid idea!"
A relatively older warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm said, "It's not like you don't know how many cultivation resources we have. There are dozens of sects and forces at the foot of Wutong Mountain. If we take out the offerings they have to pay, how long can we last with the savings we have? Don't forget, this tribute has to be paid once a month. "
In fact, during this period of time, the Su Family had plundered a lot of things from the underworld, so the people of the Su Family were not too poor.
However, only the direct bloodline of the Su Family was not poor. This did not include the collateral bloodlines.
Su Zhongying's position in the Su Family was the same as before, and they all received a fixed monthly salary.
To put it simply, no matter how much work they did and how much credit they made, the amount of money they received was still the same. Therefore, they really did not have much savings.
The older warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm added, "Also, you have to think carefully. Su Zhongyuan asked us to take the offerings and kneel to him to ask for forgiveness. Can you bear such humiliation?"
Everyone present was silent. They were also warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm. In any case, they were the founders of their sects. At the very least, it was not a problem for them to dominate a small sect. Why should they be humiliated like this in the Su Family?
They had also thought about escaping, but it was impossible. Not everyone had the strength and means of Su Xin to fight the Su Family head-on.
For the Su Family, the collateral bloodlines of the Su Family were just objects to the Su Family.
The cultivation methods of these collateral bloodlines were given by the Su Family. Their current achievements were also given to them by the bloodline of the Su Family.
Therefore, if these collateral bloodlines dared to betray the Su Family, they would be more hateful than enemies. They must be caught and punished according to the family's rules!
Although the Su Family's strength was currently weak, it would still be difficult for the few warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm to escape. They might not even be able to leave Beiyuan Path before they were caught by the Su Family.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They simply couldn't think of any good ideas. Among them, the most reliable was still like what the previous martial artist had said. They could use their own savings to pretend to be the tributes that those forces had given to the Su Family. Then, they could go and beg for forgiveness. At least this way, they could exchange for a chance of survival.
Someone hesitated and said, "But what about a few months later? It's impossible for us to use our savings to fill this hole, and what if someone finds out? "someone said hesitantly.
The warrior who made this suggestion sighed and said, "How can we think so much at this point? After all, Su Zhongyuan is a direct descendant. Even if the family head finds out, we will most likely be the ones to suffer.
Moreover, even if the family head quells this matter, Su Zhongyuan will probably still target us in the future. Therefore, it is better to take a step back now. "
However, Su Zhongying, who had been seriously injured by Su Zhongyuan, coldly snorted and said, "If you want to go, then go! I'd rather fight Su Zhongyuan than kneel and apologize to him! "
Someone advised, "Zhongying, bear with it for now. Although we are of the collateral bloodline, we are all warriors in the Deity Transformation Realm. As long as we satisfy Su Zhongyuan, he won't touch us. Even if he wants to, the family head will stop him.
If you continue to be stubborn, Su Zhongyuan may kill you as an example to others. He will definitely do such a thing.
As long as you are alive, you will have a chance. Once you die, there will be nothing left. "
Su Zhongying did not say anything, but his eyes still flashed with hatred. However, it was obvious that he agreed with what the others were doing.
Now that the discussion had come to a conclusion, everyone got up and prepared to leave.
After all, this matter was related to Su Zhongyuan, so they did not dare to let others know. Therefore, they discussed in a forest at the back of the mountain, waiting for a result before going back.
However, when they were about to leave, everyone heard a whisper coming from behind a boulder in front of them.
The expressions of Su Zhongying and the others suddenly froze. They quickly stopped and exerted their inner force to the extreme, probing the movement over there.
However, when they sensed that the people over there were only three warriors in the Innate Realm, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they were not warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm, it was fine. The perception of warriors in the Innate Realm was limited. They could not hear what they were saying, but their words were directly passed to the ears of Su Zhongying and the others. The content of the conversation caused their expressions to suddenly change, becoming extremely dark.
The three people who spoke were Wei Zhangdong, Zhang Chu, and Wang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chu sighed and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, you've seen Su Zhongyuan's behavior today. He's so overbearing and ruthless to his own people. He simply doesn't see us, Xiantian Realm mercenaries, as human beings.
The Su Clan is not the only powerful clan in Beiyuan. Why don't we go somewhere else? "
Wei Zhangdong shook his head and sighed. "The key is that we have even taken the Su Clan's first month's allowance. If we leave now, with the strength of the Su Clan, do you think they will let us go?
Don't think that we are all in the Innate Divinity Realm and are considered powerful in the outside world. However, in the eyes of the Su Clan, we are nothing. They can just send an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm to kill all of us. "
On the side, Wang Chengyuan said, "If that is the case, then let's wait for a month. After a month, we don't want the monthly allowance from the Su Clan anymore. We will find a reason to leave. I just hope that nothing happens during this month.
But then again, the Divine Transformation Realm warriors of the Su Clan are really cowards. They only dare to talk back after being insulted like that. They don't even dare to hit one of them. They have no guts at all! "
Zhang Chu also said, "Yes, a Divine Transformation Realm warrior is a Martial Dao Grandmaster. Their dignity cannot be easily insulted. However, these people are good. They can endure being called bastards in front of their faces. Tsk tsk, we admire them very much.
Even if it was us, if Su Zhongyuan dared to insult us like that, I will fight him to the death!
Anyway, we can't be like the Su Clan's warriors and be a coward. This is simply an insult to the warriors! "
Wang Chengyuan laughed and said, "That's true. These Su Clan's warriors really don't have the dignity and guts of a warrior. However, I say, Third Brother, you should use your brain when you do things. Don't let something happen that will cause you to be killed.
In fact, this time, the Su Clan's collateral bloodline did not grow any brains. Speaking of which, the Su Clan's collateral bloodline has more people than the direct bloodline. There are even a lot of Divine Transformation Realm warriors.
This time, it was obvious that Su Zhongyuan had gone too far. If they made a big deal out of it, it would be best to implicate those Divine Transformation Realm warriors. When that time comes, the law cannot punish the masses. What can Su Zhongyuan do to them?
Tsk tsk, it's a pity that the Su Clan's people are cultivating in Ningyuan Hall. Just like you, Third Brother, they can't even think of such a simple thing. Tomorrow, we will go to Su Zhongyuan's place and see how these Su Clan's collateral bloodline kneel and admit their mistakes.
I have never seen a dignified Divine Transformation Realm martial dao Grandmaster kneel and admit their mistakes. "
Zhang Chu said angrily, "Second Brother, just say it. Why are you using me as an example?"
At this time, Wei Zhangdong coughed and said, "Alright, stop talking. This is the Su Clan's matter. It's not something small characters like us can participate in. Beware of eavesdropping. We will stay for a month and then leave."
