Su Xin's revenge came very quickly, and Dugu Yan did not expect it to be this fast.
Moreover, Su Xin's actions made him very angry. In all fairness, although Su Xin did not directly touch the disciples of the Dugu clan, Su Xin's actions were to poach the members of the Dugu clan and destroy the foundation of the Dugu clan.
The strength of those small sects was indeed very weak and not worth mentioning, but they were all vassal sects of the Dugu clan. Now that Su Xin had captured their people, if the Dugu clan did not even let out a fart, wouldn't that be equivalent to being afraid of the imperial court and Su Xin?
Therefore, now that more than ten sect masters and sect masters were outside asking for help, Dugu Yan had to make a trip.
At this time, Xiao Huang suddenly said, "Uncle-in-law, I will go with you."
Dugu Yan paused and suddenly thought that Xiao Huang's identity might be able to give some pressure to Su Xin, so he nodded and directly brought people to find Su Xin to ask for an explanation.
At this time, Su Xin stopped in front of the door of a small clan, the Zhang clan, and began to ask for people. The Zhang clan master looked like he was about to cry, but under the threat of force from Su Xin and the others, he had no choice but to compromise and voluntarily hand over the people that Su Xin wanted.
Su Xin went to more than ten forces, but to be honest, in the end, these forces chose to compromise and hand over the people. None of them were more strong-willed.
In fact, this was also related to their identity. If the sects were more strong-willed, they would not have become the vassal sects of the Dugu clan. They could bow their heads to the Dugu clan in the past, so naturally, they could bow their heads to Su Xin now.
However, just as Su Xin was about to take the Zhang clan's people away, an angry voice suddenly sounded, "Su Xin! You came to the Dugu clan's territory to cause trouble, do you want to die? "
Dugu Yan rushed over with a large group of people. When Su Xin turned around, he was surprised.
However, what surprised Su Xin was not that Dugu Yan had brought people with him, but that Xiao Huang was among them.
At this time, Su Xin seemed to recall that Madam Dugu and the Xiao Family were related by marriage.
Looking at the aggressive Dugu clansmen, Su Xin said indifferently, "Dugu Clan Head, you sure talk big. All lands under the heavens belong to the Emperor. Who said that this is the Dugu Clan's territory?
Your Dugu Clan's encampment is far from here. Who gave you the right to make this your territory? "
Dugu Yan's expression was gloomy as he looked at Su Xin and said coldly, "Su Xin, I know what you're trying to do. It's nothing more than taking revenge on my Dugu Clan for trying to take advantage of Wutong Mountain.
But in any case, you're a Harmonious God Realm expert. Who wouldn't be tempted by the benefits? If you were me, you would definitely make a move as well.
The Jianghu is a gamble. Everyone can play and can afford to lose. What you're doing is a little too childish. "
Su Xin stretched out a finger and shook his head, "There's one thing you're wrong about. If I were you, I wouldn't make such a self-humiliating decision either."
"You …!" Dugu Yan pointed at Su Xin and was so angry that his face turned red.
However, Su Xin continued to sneer, "What you said just now is correct. The Jianghu is a gamble. However, those who lose the gamble naturally have to pay the price. Otherwise, some people don't learn from their mistakes. Who knows when they'll want to gamble again.
People have to pay the price for their own decisions. I'm not being childish. I'm just returning something.
I remember that I said that if I had the chance, I would definitely repay you for what you did today! "
Dugu Yan looked at Su Xin with a hint of murderous intent. Listening to Su Xin's words, he was afraid that this matter wouldn't be resolved so easily.
Su Xin making a move against these small forces was equivalent to slapping the Dugu Clan's face. Now that he had personally taken action to resolve this matter, if he still couldn't settle Su Xin, then the Dugu Clan's reputation would suffer a disastrous decline.
If they couldn't even protect their own vassal sect, then who would still follow the Dugu Clan? Perhaps even the Dugu Clan's retainers would have second thoughts.
And this was only the impact on the entire Dugu Clan. The impact of this matter on Dugu Yan was even greater.
Originally, Dugu Yan's prestige in the Dugu Clan was greatly reduced because of this matter. Now that such a big problem had appeared, if this matter couldn't be resolved and spread to the Dugu Clan's ancestor, then the Dugu Clan's ancestor, Dugu Cheng, would certainly have a lower evaluation of Dugu Yan. At that time, there might really be a change of Patriarch.
Therefore, Dugu Yan immediately calmed down and said, "Su Xin, don't play dumb with me!
These sects and families are all vassals of my Dugu Clan. If you touch them, it's equivalent to touching my Dugu Clan!
You don't have anyone in the Yang Spirit Realm among your subordinates now. If I ask the ancestor to come out, do you think you can still walk out of the Dugu Clan's territory? "
Su Xin said with a fearless look, "The key is, do you dare to ask Dugu Cheng to come out?
You're the Patriarch, but you've messed up the Dugu Clan's management. You should know what Dugu Cheng will think of you.
Most importantly, even if Dugu Cheng comes in person, he won't dare to do anything to me. Otherwise, he'll be provoking the Six Fan School and the imperial court. "
Dugu Yan's face was gloomy because he knew that Su Xin was right.
The imperial court wouldn't easily take action against the top martial arts forces in order to reduce their aggressiveness.
All the major martial arts forces in Jianghu were very sensitive. If the Zhou Kingdom showed enough aggressiveness, they wouldn't mind joining forces to resist the Zhou Kingdom again.
Therefore, Su Xin didn't take action against the Dugu Clan. Instead, he took action against the vassal forces under the Dugu Clan's protection.
Most importantly, there was no reason for the Dugu Clan to take action against Su Xin here.
Su Xin came to arrest people in the name of the Six Fan School. Even if Dugu Cheng, the ancestor of the Dugu Clan, came, Su Xin would have a reason to block him.
Of course, if they wanted to use force, Su Xin didn't mind finding a few warriors in the Yang Spirit Realm.
Anyway, he had obtained a lot of secret manuals from the Su Clan. He believed that the warriors in the Yang Spirit Realm of the Zhou Kingdom would be very interested in trading with Su Xin again.
Anyway, they wouldn't take the initiative to attack when they helped Su Xin, but to defend passively. Moreover, the Zhou Kingdom wasn't easy to bully. If he went too far, the warriors of the Zhou Kingdom wouldn't mind fighting back.
It was just like the Xiao Clan of Jiangnan in the past.
The imperial court could tolerate the Xiao Clan dominating the Jiangnan Society, but the Xiao Clan dared to plot against the imperial court. This was something that the Zhou Kingdom couldn't tolerate.
Therefore, under the pressure of the imperial court, even the Xiao Clan directly shut itself off for several years and kept a low profile.
Now, Su Xin's matter was the same. He wouldn't take the initiative to touch the people of the Dugu Clan, but if the people of the Dugu Clan dared to touch him, Su Xin wouldn't mind fighting back fiercely. At that time, the Six Fan School and the imperial court would even express their stance.
Dugu Yan's expression suddenly became very ugly. He said coldly, "Su Xin, last time you and I only had some small conflicts. Moreover, you didn't suffer any losses. Do you really want to be so ruthless?
Now that the young master of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Huang, is here, let's each take a step back. From now on, the Dugu Clan will never provoke you again. You will also leave the territory of the Dugu Clan and release the people you captured. What do you think? "
Xiao Huang turned his head and looked at Dugu Yan with a faint smile. His uncle really knew how to take advantage of the situation. Did he want to use him to suppress Su Xin? He was afraid that he was wrong.
Sure enough, Su Xin directly turned his head to Xiao Huang and said, "Oh? Brother Xiao still wants to get involved in this matter? "
Xiao Huang shook his head and said, "This time, I only came to the Dugu Clan to complete a business deal and visit my aunt. As for the matter between you and the Dugu Clan, this is an internal dispute of your Beiyuan Path. As someone from the Jiangnan Path, I'm afraid it's not good for me to get involved."
Dugu Yan looked at Xiao Huang and secretly cursed the people of the Xiao Clan for being extremely cunning.
What Northern Plains Path or Jiangnan Path? Only some unranked factions would like to use territory to distinguish the difference between two factions. For a faction like the Xiao Clan, they didn't use territory to represent them. Instead, they used territory to represent territory.
Even if the Xiao Clan left the Jiangnan Path, they would still be a top sect in the Jianghu. Therefore, these territorial differences were completely meaningless to the Xiao Clan.
However, since Xiao Huang was unwilling to help, Dugu Yan did not say much. He only looked at Su Xin, wanting to see Su Xin's choice.
However, in the end, Su Xin shook his head and said, "Leader of the Dugu Clan, you're too petty. I've said that since you've lost the bet this time, you'll have to pay the price. In the end, you want to gain something without risking anything and use a meaningless promise to make me stop. This is something that I can't do."
Dugu Yan's face was a little black. He knew that if he invited the Patriarch, Dugu Cheng, with his strength, he could temporarily suppress Su Xin and make him retreat.
However, that was only temporary. If Su Xin insisted on not returning the people that he had taken away, the Dugu Clan's reputation would still be greatly reduced.
Moreover, he would look for the Patriarch whenever something happened. Since that was the case, why would the Dugu Clan still need him as the leader? Wouldn't it be better for Dugu Cheng to manage the Dugu Clan himself?
Therefore, in this way, Dugu Yan was in a dilemma.
Looking at Su Xin, Dugu Yan could only sigh helplessly and say, "You win. Tell me, what do you want this time?"
Su Xin shook his head and said, "It's not what I want, but what you can give me.
Since this is a bet, the loser has to pay the price. Isn't that right?
Therefore, I'll give you three days. After three days, you'll take out a price that I'm satisfied with and come to the Six Doors to collect the people. "
Dugu Yan's face was gloomy as he said, "What if you're not satisfied with what I take out?"
Su Xin laughed wildly and said, "Then Leader of the Dugu Clan, prepare to bring back a pile of corpses!"
After saying that, Su Xin laughed wildly and left with his people. He conveniently left behind the Zhang Clan disciples that he was about to take away.
"I won't be taking these people with me. Just treat them as a bonus for you."
After leaving behind these words, Su Xin completely left. Only Dugu Yan, who was as gloomy as water, and the Zhang Clan's Patriarch, who had a look of pleasant surprise on his face, remained.
