Su Xin nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the collateral disciples kneeling before him. He didn't expect these collateral disciples to completely surrender to him. It was enough as long as they listened to him. When the time came, he would naturally use other means to subdue them.
In fact, Su Xin didn't know that he actually had a very high prestige in the hearts of the collateral disciples of the Su Family.
After all, the Su Family had officially set foot in the underworld. Although the Su Family didn't have their own intelligence network, they knew some of the rumors in the underworld.
Because of this, the collateral disciples of the Su Family admired and worshiped Su Xin.
After all, Su Xin's status was the same as theirs. However, Su Xin had made such a huge foundation and made a name for himself in the outside world.
They were treated like servants in the Su Family, but Su Xin was invited respectfully when he first came to the Su Family. This was the difference between them.
Now that Su Xin had become the new Family Head of the Su Family, they could feel at ease. After all, in the underworld, the leader of every force was very important unless one was a lone cultivator who could feed his family.
For example, Li Changhai, the Sect Head of Qingcheng Sword School.
Although the destruction of Qingcheng Sword School wasn't related to him, it was a mistake for a sect head to be mediocre. Although he wasn't entirely responsible for the destruction of Qingcheng Sword School, he at least had to bear some responsibility.
Now, Su Xin wasn't mediocre at all. The collateral disciples of the Su Family believed that the Su Family under Su Xin's leadership would definitely be stronger than when the Su Family's Old Ancestor was still around.
Great Strength Master walked to Su Xin's side and said, "Congratulations, Lord Su. The Su Family of the Ningyuan Palace, one of the three hidden families, has fallen into your hands."
As he said this, the Great Strength Supremacy Master's tone was tinged with envy and jealousy.
Although the Su Family of the Ningyuan Palace was dilapidated and didn't even have many cultivation resources, their true wealth didn't come from these things, but from their people and inheritance.
Although all the direct descendants of the Su Family had been killed and the Su Family of the Ningyuan Palace was no longer considered a top force, it was still several times stronger than ordinary first-rate forces.
Moreover, apart from people, the Su Family also had all kinds of powerful cultivation techniques passed down from ancient times. The secret techniques that the Su Family used today were proof that the Su Family's inheritance was definitely not weak.
Although the Su Family did not have a powerful legacy, the number of legacies that the Su Family possessed was extremely large.
In the past, when the ancestors of the Su Family followed the Human Emperor to conquer the world, the Su Family had collected countless cultivation methods from various sects and foreign races. Just look at the direct descendants of the Su Family now. Each of them had several powerful cultivation methods, and they could choose from them.
Back when the Su Family's founder followed the Human Emperor to conquer the world, the Su Family had collected countless cultivation techniques from various sects and foreign tribes. The direct descendants of the Su Family each had several powerful cultivation techniques that they could choose from.
Su Xin's plan to seize the Su Family was a civil war. Since he was a member of the Su Family, the collateral descendants of the Su Family would not oppose him and would even help him.
If it were an outsider, they would definitely be badly injured.
Moreover, even if they were several times stronger than the Su Family and could kill the Su Family completely, they would definitely suffer from the Su Family's dying counterattack. If that happened, it wouldn't be worth it.
After all, talents were the most important to most forces in the martial arts world. It wouldn't be worth it to snatch the cultivation techniques in the end, only to suffer heavy casualties.
Moreover, not every force could crush the powerful forces that the Zhou Kingdom and the Heaven and Earth Palace had mobilized to destroy the Qingcheng sword school.
If they really hurt their vitality, the sects that had enmity with them might take advantage of the situation.
Just like the battle between the Sword Fighting Sect and the Chasing Corpse Sect, the Sword Fighting Sect had suffered heavy losses. Back then, there was more than one sect that had hit them when they were down. Even the Five Sword Sects, which were known to be of the same branch, had hit them when they were down, let alone the other sects.
Su Xin looked at the Supreme Master of Great Strength and said indifferently, "Master, you're exaggerating. I, Su Xin, am not like your Buddhism sect that has a huge background. My own foundation was dug out by risking my life. I can't just not scheme a little more."
The Supreme Master of Great Strength only smiled and did not say anything.
The entire Wutong Mountain was already in a mess. Therefore, Su Xin got the collateral descendants to sort out the corpses.
As for the guests recruited by the Su Clan, they could only stare at Su Xin anxiously.
They had all been recruited by the Su Clan. However, they were recruited by the direct descendants of the Su Clan. Now that the Su Clan had changed hands, who should they listen to? Moreover, what was Su Xin's attitude towards them? Would the monthly salary that the Su Clan gave them before still change?
Su Xin looked at them indifferently and said, "All of you, leave. The Su Clan doesn't need guests in the future."
Everyone's expressions changed. They never expected that a single sentence from Su Xin would be able to chase nearly five thousand of the Su Clan's guests down the mountain.
Actually, Su Xin didn't take a fancy to any of these people.
The Su Clan had just stepped foot into the underworld and lacked manpower. Therefore, they were a little desperate and recruited anyone they wanted. In the end, they ended up with a mix of good and bad people.
Most of the Su Clan's guests were rogue cultivators who could only muddle along. There were even some spies from other factions. For example, Wei Zhangdong and the others that Su Xin had sent had easily snuck in.
Although he couldn't rule out the possibility that there were some cultivators with decent talent and were worth nurturing, Su Xin didn't want to waste time and slowly choose them. Therefore, he simply chased them down the mountain.
However, this made the Su Clan's guests very unhappy.
Someone immediately said, "Lord Su, what you're doing is a little too unruly. When the Su Family recruited us to be guests, they promised us a lot of cultivation resources. Even now, there are still some cultivation resources that haven't been given to us. You want to drive us off the mountain with just a word? This is against the rules!
Now that you're the head of the Su Family, you can't just kick all of them away, even if you don't increase the conditions that the Su Family's direct descendants gave us! "
Many of the Su Clan's hanger-ons echoed in agreement.
In order to recruit them, the Su Clan had indeed paid a great price. At that time, the Su Clan was short of people. Therefore, in order to recruit enough mercenaries as soon as possible, the Su Clan offered much more than the other aristocratic families. Moreover, the Su Clan promised to give those mercenaries who continued to stay in the Su Clan an extra month's salary every year.
Now that Su Xin had chased them down the mountain with a single sentence, their monthly salary was naturally gone. One could imagine the emotions of these guests.
A month's salary is nothing to a big shot like Su Xin, but it's a significant amount of income for them, and they can't just let it go like this. '
A smile hung on Su Xin's face.
Actually, although Su Xin's appearance couldn't be considered too handsome, he could still be considered decent. Therefore, when he smiled, he gave off a very peaceful feeling.
But some people forgot that those who had a ferocious face and didn't look like good people were actually not the most evil.
Su Xin smiled and pointed to the Xiantian Realm warrior who spoke first. "Come, come, come. Stand out."
That warrior was momentarily stunned, but the other warriors around him immediately took a few steps back, giving him space.
Su Xin looked at that warrior, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He said calmly, "What did you say to me just now? I don't follow the rules? Then can I trouble you to tell me, what are the rules? "
Being stared at by Su Xin, the warrior's face immediately revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. Only now did he remember that the person standing in front of him was not one of those inexperienced warriors from the Su Family, but one of the Four Great Super Arresters, Su Xin!
How many people had died in the hands of Su Xin all these years? Perhaps even he himself couldn't remember. As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out gets shot. He was actually the first one to stand out and talk about the rules. He must have been possessed just now!
That warrior trembled and said, "Lord Su, I …"
But before he could finish speaking, Su Xin raised his eyebrows. A ray of sword Qi suddenly rose from the warrior's feet and directly cut him in half!
Blood spurted out, but everyone present was scared silly. No one thought that Su Xin would kill someone just because of a disagreement. Even that warrior didn't even have the chance to say a word before he was killed by Su Xin.
Looking at these people in front of him, Su Xin said lightly, "Your monthly salary was promised by that bunch of dead people from the Su Family. If you want it, you can. I'll send you to them. Isn't that enough?"
Everyone present felt a chill down their spine, and they didn't dare to say another word.
Throughout history, the martial arts sects in the Jianghu had been very polite to these hanger-ons and guests. As long as they didn't betray the sect, those sects wouldn't be too harsh on them. They only did this for the sake of reputation.
After all, only with a good reputation would people in the Jianghu continue to seek refuge with them. Otherwise, with a bad reputation, who would rush to seek refuge with you?
Therefore, the big sects were very strict with their own disciples. After all, they were their own people.
As for the hanger-ons who were outsiders, they wouldn't be harsh. Of course, they didn't have the qualifications to access the family secrets. At most, they were high-level thugs.
When these people faced Su Xin, they also treated him as an ordinary family or the leader of a sect. They had forgotten about Su Xin's fierce power and Su Xin's reputation in the Jianghu.
Anyway, Su Xin had a lot of bad reputation in the Jianghu. He didn't mind being scolded more harshly. Those sects and families were afraid of affecting their reputation, but Su Xin wasn't afraid.
After Su Xin killed the chicken to warn the monkey, these people didn't even dare to let out a fart and directly rolled down the mountain.
