The relationship between the foreign tribes in the northwest and the Zhou Kingdom could not be considered good, but it was definitely not bad either.
Although these tribes were very xenophobic, they were nominally under the rule of the Zhou Kingdom. Therefore, these people did not dare to be presumptuous. Putting aside the fact that they were respectful, they still had to at least show some respect.
However, Su Xin came at the wrong time. It was Tuoba Feng's wedding day, and Tuoba Feng had killed Zhang Zhongye, the general director of the northwest march. With such a reason, the people of the Tuoba Clan felt a little awkward.
At that moment, Tuoba Feng's expression changed drastically. He held Zhang Chuchu's hand, who was next to him, with a nervous look in his eyes.
Although he could be considered high-spirited at the moment, he was still inexperienced. It was inevitable that he would be flustered when faced with such a situation.
However, Tuoba Feng was relieved when he thought that he was in the Tuoba Clan.
He was now the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Tuoba Clan. Whether it was in terms of his own value or the reputation of the Tuoba Clan, Su Xin would definitely not be able to take Tuoba Feng away from the Tuoba Clan.
Tuoba Cangyi frowned, but he still walked to the door and greeted them personally.
Su Xin walked in with Li Bo, Huang Bingcheng, and more than ten warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm. He said with a warm smile on his face, "Chief Tuoba, I came uninvited today. I hope you don't mind, Chief."
Tuoba Cangyi quickly cupped his hands and said, "What are you talking about, Lord Su? I originally wanted to invite Lord Su here, but I thought that Lord Su has just come to the northwest and must be tired from the journey. He must have a lot of things to do, so I didn't ask."
Su Xin nodded and said, "Yes, there are a lot of troublesome things in the northwest, so I came this time to ask Chief Tuoba for a favor."
Tuoba Cangyi said directly, "Don't worry, Lord Su. If you need anything, just tell me. As long as the Tuoba Clan can do it, we will definitely not refuse!"
Su Xin said in a deep voice, "Really?"
Tuoba Cangyi felt that something was wrong. He was just being polite, but did Su Xin take it seriously?
However, the words had already left his mouth. Tuoba Cangyi could only say, "Of course it is true."
Sure enough, Su Xin laughed and said, "That's good. I have something that I need Clan Leader Tuoba's help with today."
"What is it?"
Su Xin pointed at Tuoba Feng, who was standing at the back, and said, "It's very simple. I hope that Tuoba Clan Leader can hand over Tuoba Feng, the murderer of the former Northwest Military Chief Zhang Zhongye!"
Tuoba Cangyi's expression immediately changed. He said coldly, "Lord Su, what is the meaning of this? What makes you think that Zhang Zhongye was killed by Tuoba Feng?
Tuoba Feng is only in the Innate Realm, while Zhang Zhongye is in the Divine Transformation Realm. No matter how strong he is, he won't be able to kill Zhang Zhongye. "
The people from the other tribes present all shook their heads. They knew that it was impossible to hide this matter forever.
After all, Zhang Zhongye was a military chief of the imperial court. In the end, he was killed for no reason. There had to be an explanation for this matter no matter what.
They did not know about the internal struggle in the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom, so they thought that Su Xin had come to the northwest this time because of Zhang Zhongye's death.
However, the only thing they did not expect was that Su Xin would come so quickly. He had only been in the northwest for a few days, and he had already investigated this matter clearly?
Su Xin sneered and said, "Clan Leader Tuoba, don't treat others as fools. Who said that an Innate Realm can't kill a Divine Transformation Realm martial artist? If I can do this, many of the martial artists on the Ranking List of Young Masters of my generation can do it too.
I believe that apart from the people in the imperial court, many of the clan leaders present should know about this, right? If you don't want others to know, don't do it.
Clan Leader Tuoba, where was Tuoba Feng on the day Zhang Zhongye was killed? Do you need me to find someone to confront him? "
Tuoba Cangyi's face was gloomy. Even if the tribes in the northwest knew about this matter, they would not say it. The only possibility was that the three clans of Flying Dragon City had spoken too much. After this matter was over, he would definitely let those three clans know the consequences of speaking too much!
However, what Tuoba Cangyi did not know was that even if he wanted to take revenge, he could only take revenge on two clans. The Moonfall Sword Sect had been exterminated by Li Bo, and not even a dog was left.
However, even if he knew that the matter had been leaked, Tuoba Cangyi still shook his head and said, "Even so, it can't prove that Zhang Zhongye was killed by Tuoba Feng. Anyway, our Tuoba Clan does not have the habit of handing over our clansmen!"
Su Xin shook his head indifferently and said, "Clan Leader Tuoba, it is convenient for others and convenient for yourself. Right now, the imperial court is watching this matter. Since the burden has been placed on my head, I must give the imperial court an explanation.
The imperial court has been lenient enough to the tribes in the northwest. All these years, the imperial court has never asked for anything from you. The entire northwest is like an independent kingdom.
However, leniency does not mean connivance. No matter what, Zhang Zhongye is the general director of the army of the imperial court. If you kill him, it is a slap to the imperial court's face. Therefore, I must take Tuoba Feng away today! "
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the clansmen of the Tuoba Clan changed. Immediately, dozens of people surrounded Su Xin and the others, looking as if they were at daggers drawn.
The chiefs of the other tribes didn't express their opinions. Although the tribes in the northwest should be united in name, the open and secret struggles between them were unavoidable.
Moreover, the most important thing was that this time, the Tuoba Clan was in the wrong. Moreover, they were somewhat dissatisfied with the way they let their disciple marry an outsider.
If Su Xin was ambitious and wanted to find trouble with the Tuoba Clan today, they would take the initiative to help him without Tuoba Cangyi asking for help.
This was because Su Xin would not only harm the interests of the Tuoba Clan, but also the interests of all the tribes in the northwest.
However, everyone now knew that Zhang Zhongye was killed by someone from the Tuoba Clan. The Tuoba Clan did not discuss with them when they killed him. Now that the imperial court had come knocking, the Tuoba Clan wanted them to take action. How could there be such a good thing in the world? At the very least, they would not take action now.
Moreover, the matter of Tuoba Feng marrying Zhang Chuchu had caused quite a stir among the tribes in the northwest.
Originally, this matter did not have much to do with them. However, like Su Xin, they could see the danger in this.
The hardest thing to control in this world was the human heart. Although they had promised not to have children, what if they went back on their word?
Not only would this matter affect the Tuoba Clan, it would also affect the other tribes in the northwest.
In the past, if any of their clansmen fell in love with an outsider, the elders of the clan would deal with it very simply. They would directly suppress the person. It was very simple and violent.
However, with the Tuoba Clan as an example, there would definitely be clansmen who would be dissatisfied and ask for the same treatment as the Tuoba Clan.
This way, the risk that could happen to the Tuoba Clan would become the risk that all the tribes in the northwest would face. It was only natural that the clan leaders would be dissatisfied.
However, as dissatisfied as they were, they did not go overboard. At most, they would just watch from the sidelines.
Tuoba Cangyi glanced at those people. He did not expect them to help. He stood out and said coldly, "I've said it before. No one can take away a clansman of the Tuoba Clan, not even the imperial court!"
Seeing Tuoba Cangyi's attitude, Tuoba Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He had guessed correctly. The clan leader would not give up on him.
For the sake of the Tuoba Clan's reputation, the clan would definitely protect him even if he was the one who killed Zhang Zhongye.
Because of this, Tuoba Feng had taken the risk and prepared to assassinate Zhang Zhongye. One reason was to get rid of any future troubles, and the other was to display his true strength so that he could be valued by the clan.
From the looks of it, he had achieved both of his goals.
Looking at the warriors of the Tuoba Clan surrounding him, Su Xin said indifferently, "Tuoba Clan Leader, are you going to be stubborn to the end?
Don't treat me like that useless Zhang Zhongye. I, Su Xin, am a man of my words. Today, I said I would take Tuoba Feng away, and I will take him away!
If you dare to stop me, I will wipe out the Tuoba Clan today! "
"Arrogant!"
Two voices were heard at the same time. One of them was Tuoba Cangyi, while the other was an elder who was standing in front of everyone with a horrifying aura. This person was the head elder of the Tuoba Clan, Tuoba Yu.
Originally, Tuoba Yu would have waited until the end to appear on such occasions. However, now that Su Xin had come to make trouble, he had no choice but to appear.
Tuoba Yu looked at Su Xin and said coldly, "Wipe out the Tuoba Clan? Even the mighty general of the Zhou Kingdom, Lin Zongyue, would not dare to say something like that. What right do you, a junior, have to say such nonsense here?"
"Junior? Haha. "
Looking at Tuoba Yu, Su Xin's mouth revealed a horrifying smile.
"It has been a long time since anyone called me a junior. Is the Yang God Realm that great? I have killed more than one Yang God Realm warrior. Do you think that you are better than the great elder of the Qingcheng Sword School or the Black Lotus Saint Envoy of the White Lotus Sect? "
Su Xin's words were very arrogant. Was the Yang God Realm great? As the top existences in the Underworld, Yang God Realm warriors were indeed very impressive.
However, in the entire Underworld, only Su Xin dared to say such words. After all, more than one Yang God Realm warrior had died in his hands.
Comparing the old Tuoba Yu to Cen Weizhuang and the Black Lotus Saint Envoy was indeed incomparable.
"You are courting death!"
Tuoba Yu's eyes flashed with shock and anger. He threw a punch at Su Xin like the sky was falling.
Although he was old, he was still in the Yang God Realm. When he was at the peak of his prime, he was also one of the rulers of the northwest. If Tuoba Yu did not react to Su Xin's contempt, he would be the one who would be embarrassed.
The people of the Underworld would not say that Su Xin was arrogant because Su Xin had the right to be arrogant.
When he was in the Deity Transformation Realm, he used a trick to kill a Yang God. When he was in the Harmonious Deity Realm, he could even exchange three moves with the world-famous Mingjian Villa's Master, 'Sword Moves Everywhere' He Wushan. This kind of achievement was enough to prove Su Xin's strength.
Therefore, the people of the Underworld would only say that Tuoba Yu was old and had lost his drive. He did not even dare to fart when he was being mocked by a junior.
Even if Tuoba Yu did not attack for his own sake, he would take the initiative to attack a junior like Su Xin for the sake of the Tuoba Clan.
