There were two forces that Su Xin had deployed in the northwest. One was the Shadow Guard, which was responsible for dealing with elite forces and intelligence.
The other was the army that was out in the open. Therefore, not only did he have to insert the people from Jiangnan and Jianghuai into the northwest army, Su Xin also had to recruit a large number of warriors from the northwest. Of course, the prerequisite was that they had to be above the Houtian Intermediate Stage.
Although others thought that it was a bit extravagant to use Houtian Warriors as ordinary soldiers, this was the strategy that Su Xin had always adhered to. Quality always trumped quantity.
Take the Condor Shooting Cavalry of the Golden Horde Kingdom for example. Ten thousand of them could attack cities and seize land. Even an army of a hundred thousand would not be a match for them. The reason for this was that the ten thousand Condor Shooting Cavalry were all warriors above the Houtian Full Stage. Among them, the decurion was at the Xiantian Realm, the centurion was at the Divinity Realm, and the chiliarch was a martial arts master at the Divine Transformation Realm.
Each team of Condor Shooting Cavalry was led by an expert at the Harmonious God Realm. With such strength, they were comparable to the three great armies of the Zhou Kingdom, the Dragon Shadow, the Bright Tiger, and the Flying Bear.
Naturally, this was the path that Su Xin wanted to take. Therefore, he would not be careless in terms of quality.
After everything was sorted out, Su Xin turned his attention to the Tuoba Clan.
Inside the Tuoba Clan, they were also holding a happy event. It was the wedding ceremony of Tuoba Feng and Zhang Chuchu, the daughter of the Zhang Family.
The Tuoba Clan was located next to a large lake in the middle of the northwest region. The scenery was beautiful, and there were countless buildings with different styles from the Central Plains. It was like a paradise.
From the outside, the Tuoba Clan did not look different from ordinary people from the Central Plains. However, their eyes were not black, but light blue.
The Tuoba Clan had been around for tens of thousands of years. During this period, they had experienced decline and prosperity, all the way to the current mediocre level. They could be considered to have weathered many storms.
Tuoba Cangyi, the clan leader, who was commanding a group of Tuoba Clan disciples to welcome the guests, sighed in his heart. Perhaps it would not be long before the Tuoba Clan could rise again.
Right now, their Tuoba Clan was still considered to be above average among the foreign tribes of the northwest, but in reality, they were on the decline.
Although the Great Elder of their clan, Tuoba Yu, was in the Yang God Realm, he had actually entered a stage of decline. The most important thing was that no one from their Tuoba Clan was qualified to enter the Great Snow Mountain, the holy land of the northwest martial arts world, to be a teacher.
The Great Snow Mountain was the Holy Land of Martial Arts in the Northwest. It was composed of experts from the major tribes in the Northwest and some local rogue cultivators. Any martial artist from the Northwest was qualified to enter the Great Snow Mountain to study and cultivate. Even martial artists from the Central Plains or the Golden Horde Kingdom could enter as long as they passed the test.
When the Great Snow Mountain Holy Land had set this rule, it had shocked many people.
The northwest had always been xenophobic. In fact, it was the most xenophobic existence in the entire world of martial arts. But in the end, such a xenophobic place had actually left behind a rule that taught everyone without discrimination. At that time, it had shocked everyone.
One had to know that the most important thing in the path of martial arts was inheritance. It had always been passed down from master to disciple, father to son, and family to generation. If one wanted to learn martial arts, then one had to pay the price.
Even if one joined the imperial court and did not need to be apprenticed to a master, as long as one learned the skills given by the imperial court, one would become a member of the imperial court. If one wanted to betray the imperial court, the consequences would be worse than those of those sects and families.
It could be said that even the Shaolin Temple, which claimed to educate all living beings, had never opened the Sutra Depository for martial artists from the outside world to study. But now, the Great Snow Mountain dared to do so. The title of the Holy Land of Martial Arts was not given by itself, but by the martial artists of the entire northwest. Even the martial arts forces of the Central Plains did not deny it.
However, it was unknown if the test set by the Great Snow Mountain was also a test of character. Over the years, many martial artists from the outside had successfully passed the test and joined the Great Snow Mountain. However, 80% of them chose to stay in the Great Snow Mountain and continue to concentrate on their cultivation. The remaining 20% chose to leave the mountain and return to the world of martial arts. However, they only passed on the martial arts they learned from the Great Snow Mountain to their children or disciples. They did not directly spread their knowledge to the world of martial arts.
Because of this move, the Great Snow Mountain's status in the northwest was unparalleled. It became an honor for a clansman to join the Great Snow Mountain as an instructor.
Of course, this matter was not that easy. The weakest instructor in the Great Snow Mountain was in the Divine Transformation Realm, but this did not mean that one could become an instructor in the Great Snow Mountain just because they were in the Divine Transformation Realm. The instructors of the Great Snow Mountain had to have their own independent views on martial arts to be qualified. Unfortunately, the Tuoba clan did not have such a person. Therefore, the Tuoba clan did not have much say among the northwestern foreign tribes.
At this moment, a disciple of the Tuoba Clan came over and said, "Clan leader, people from all the major tribes have arrived. Please go out and greet them."
The disciple's words awakened Tuoba Cangyi. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
With that, Tuoba Cangyi walked to the door and said with a smile, "Brother Murong, Brother Wenren, Brother Baili … Thank you all for coming to watch the ceremony. Come, come, come. Please come in."
Although the Tuoba Clan had declined somewhat, their strength was still considered to be above average among the foreign tribes of the northwest. Moreover, they had a long history, and eighty percent of the tribes had sent people to attend the wedding of the young prodigies of the clan.
"Brother Tuoba, I heard that your Tuoba Clan has recently produced a talent who can fight against those in the Divine Transformation Realm with innate strength. Are you not going to show him to us now?"
The crowd was a little curious about Tuoba Feng.
There were many talents in the younger generation of the Tuoba Clan. However, these so-called talents were only given by the Tuoba Clan themselves. They were not recognized by the many tribes in the northwest.
To put it simply, the Tuoba Clan really could not find anyone in this generation that was worthy of being amazing.
However, Tuoba Feng was different. He had the strength of the Innate Realm and was able to withstand ten moves from a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm. Moreover, the northwest was only so big. There were not many secrets among the tribes in the northwest. Everyone knew who killed Zhang Zhongye.
These two battles were enough to prove Tuoba Feng's strength. He was definitely a brave figure of the younger generation.
In the past, Su Xin was ranked first on the Ranking List of Young Masters when he killed a Divine Transformation Realm martial artist when he was at the innate stage. Although Tuoba Feng had only killed Zhang Zhongye, who was old and weak and had his mind corrupted by alcohol and women, he was still a Martial Dao master no matter how weak he was. The fact that Tuoba Feng could kill him was enough to prove his strength.
Tuoba Cangyi laughed and said, "The wedding of the younger generation in the clan will be held soon. Everyone will naturally see it then.
Moreover, I have already made preparations. After he breaks through to the Divine Transformation Realm, I will send him to the Great Snow Mountain for a trial. I want to see if he can pass the Flying Snow Crossing and listen to the martial dao under Lord Tantai Mieming. "
As soon as they heard Tuoba Cangyi's words, the other clan heads were shocked. It seemed like the Tuoba Clan was plotting something big!
Who was Tantai Mieming? He was the current Mountain Master of the Great Snow Mountain. He was ranked on the Heaven Ranking and was known as the Cold Sky Martial Saint. He was a True Martial Realm earth immortal and the no.1 martial expert in the northwest!
The Tantai Clan that the Great Snow Mountain Master came from had long been extinct in history. After all, there were so many tribes in the northwest. No one could guarantee that they would prosper for ten thousand years. This was the case for the Tantai Clan. They had disappeared from the northwest more than a thousand years ago.
It was not until Tantai Mieming was born that everyone knew that the Tantai Clan had descendants.
Tantai Mieming was the only one among the many martial experts in the northwest who was not from the Great Snow Mountain. However, he was personally invited to the Great Snow Mountain by the previous Mountain Master.
Throughout the years, it was always the martial artists who took the initiative to go to the Great Snow Mountain to seek knowledge. Tantai Mieming was also the only one who was invited to the Great Snow Mountain.
Of course, the facts also proved that the previous Mountain Master of the Great Snow Mountain had great foresight and did not misjudge people.
In the past, the Zhou Kingdom's' Primordial Dou 'Zhao Wunian had once come to the Great Snow Mountain to discuss dao with many martial experts in the northwest. He defeated all the heroes, but there was a rumor that Tantai Mieming did not make a move. Otherwise, it was unknown if Zhao Wunian could advance to the True Martial Realm.
Of course, the Great Snow Mountain had Tantai Mieming. Otherwise, with Zhao Wunian's character, it was uncertain if he would have defeated or killed all the heroes.
In short, Tantai Mieming was now the martial expert that all the tribes in the northwest respected. However, in order to obtain the teachings of this martial expert, one would have to pass the checkpoint that he personally set up, the Flying Snow Crossing. The process was extremely difficult. Within a hundred years, only three people had successfully passed the Flying Snow Crossing.
If Tuoba Feng was really able to pass the Flying Snow Crossing, then the Tuoba Clan would truly rise.
All the Patriarchs of the various tribes entered the Tuoba Clan with different intentions.
When everyone had arrived, the master of ceremonies invited Tuoba Feng and the Zhang Clan's daughter, Zhang Chuchu, out.
Zhang Chuchu was indeed beautiful, like a fairy from heaven. It was no wonder that Tuoba Feng and Zhang Chen would fall in love with her.
Tuoba Feng was not bad either. He had dashing eyebrows and bright eyes. He was very handsome, and his blue eyes added a sense of mystery to him.
In particular, after fighting against the clan's elders in the Divine Transformation Realm and killing Zhang Zhongye, Tuoba Feng's slightly depressed and cowardly aura disappeared. He became extremely confident, which added a different temperament to him.
However, compared to the high-spirited Tuoba Feng, the other disciples of the Tuoba Clan were gritting their teeth.
Tuoba Feng's strength had always been very mediocre. He was so mediocre that they did not even bother to step on him.
But now, they did not know what kind of luck this guy had, but his strength had skyrocketed and become so terrifying.
They really did not understand. Could it be that Tuoba Feng had been pretending to be weak to fool them all along?
However, although they were angry, no matter where they were, as long as it was a battle between warriors, strength was the most important thing. Tuoba Feng had displayed his strength, which meant that he was the leader of this generation of the Tuoba Clan.
However, at that moment, the voice of the welcoming disciple suddenly came. "The Northwest Military Governor, the Four Great Constables of Six Doors, and the Chief Majordomo of the Shadow Guard, Su Xin, Lord Su, are here to congratulate you!"
