All the tribes in the northwest were furious. Su Xin had gone too far this time.
The Tuoba Clan was a rather powerful tribe in the northwest, but they were annihilated just like that. This was a provocation to the entire northwest.
The Zhongli Clan's Zhongli Xing even smashed the table in front of him with a palm strike. He humphed coldly and said, "Su Xin is truly out of control! Does he think that the northwest is the same as the central plains? How can they tolerate his reckless actions? Everyone, let's attack together and kill Su Xin. Otherwise, he will do even more outrageous things! "
At first, everyone was as furious as Zhongli Xing. However, after a while, they all coughed and sat back down.
Baili Changkong paused, then said, "Brother Zhongli, calm down first. Su Xin annihilated the Tuoba Clan because of a personal grudge. After all, it was Tuoba Yu who joined forces to kill him. Although he went overboard by annihilating the Tuoba Clan, let's settle this later. There are more important things to do right now."
Zhong Lixing frowned, and said, "Even we have to endure such a major incident. Could it be that we can only watch as that Su Xin runs rampant?"
Everyone present shook their heads. Zhong Lixing was far too inferior to Zhong Liwei. Could it be that he still couldn't see the crux of the matter?
Baili Changkong explained, "Right now, our biggest problem is still the Murong Clan. If the Murong Clan is not annihilated, it would be a waste of time for us to turn around and deal with Su Xin.
Plus, Tuoba Yu was reaping what he sowed. Since he had decided to go after Su Xin, then he had to be prepared to be retaliated against.
My suggestion is to put this matter aside for now. With Su Xin's current strength, he can only cause a small wave in the northwest at most. Don't worry about it.
If we delay our attack on the Murong Clan because of this, and Murong Long ascends to the True Martial Tier, we can imagine what will happen to us. "
Everyone present nodded. This was what they were worried about. Thus, after calming down, they decided to put this matter aside for now.
Although the entire Tuoba Clan had been annihilated, people were selfish by nature. They still had their own matters to attend to, so who would have the time to avenge the Tuoba Clan?
Even those from the Jialan Clan and Huyan Clan who were incomparably enraged after being suppressed by Su Xin no longer dared to say anything. Clearly, they also understood the logic behind this.
However, Zhong Lixing was still a little unwilling. He said, "Are we just going to watch that Su Xin act so arrogantly?"
Baili Changkong glanced at him and said indifferently, "Brother Zhongli, we all know about the enmity between you and Su Xin, but why don't you think about the relationship between your Zhongli Clan and the Murong Clan?
To put it bluntly, if Murong Long really becomes an Earth Immortal in the True Martial Realm in the future, we can surrender and submit to the Murong Clan if we are no match for him. However, the Zhongli Clan will not even have the right to surrender! "
A trace of unwillingness appeared on Zhong Lixing's face.
He wasn't sensitive enough, but he wasn't stupid. Baili Changkong had already explained the matter so clearly. Naturally, he wouldn't have any more doubts.
Just as everyone was about to give up, a few disciples of the Baili Clan suddenly walked over and whispered something in Baili Changkong's ear. His expression immediately changed.
"What did you say?!"
When the crowd saw Baili Changkong lose his composure, they couldn't help but feel shocked. They hurriedly asked, "Brother Baili, could it be that Murong Long has already ascended to the True Martial Realm? He shouldn't have refined the True Dragon Inner Core so quickly, right? "
Baili Changkong suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "It's not Murong Long. It's Su Xin. After he annihilated the Tuoba Clan, he is currently heading to the Zhongli Clan with his men!"
Everyone present was instantly stunned. They thought to themselves that Su Xin was indeed extremely daring. No, he should be extremely daring!
He had just annihilated the Tuoba Clan, and he actually dared to make a move against the Zhongli Clan. Did he really think that there was no one in the Northwest who could deal with him?
They couldn't just ignore the current situation. Moreover, the members of the Zhongli Clan were also here. If they ignored the situation, they would cause the members of the Zhongli Clan to be bitterly disappointed.
Even though Zhongli Wei had died, the Zhongli Clan was still the strongest among them. Therefore, they couldn't afford to offend the Zhongli Clan.
Therefore, everyone was prepared to immediately make a move. They were going to the Zhongli Clan to stop Su Xin.
When Su Xin arrived at the Zhongli Clan, the first thing he saw was Baili Changkong and the others gathered there in a threatening manner.
Zhong Liyan walked out and said coldly, "Su Xin, you killed the Great Elder of the Zhongli Clan. I haven't settled this score with you yet. Now, you actually dare to provoke the Zhongli Clan. Do you really want to die?"
Baili Changkong also stood out and said, "Lord Su, it's fine that you annihilated the Tuoba Clan. Now, you actually want to make a move against the Zhongli Clan. Don't you think you've gone too far?"
Baili Changkong was still very wary of Su Xin.
The Baili Clan had always been cautious. They didn't want to offend the people of the Imperial Court. Therefore, he still respectfully addressed Su Xin as Lord.
However, although he didn't want to offend the Imperial Court, he also couldn't let Su Xin do as he pleased. Otherwise, wouldn't the Northwest be in chaos?
Su Xin said indifferently, "Elder Baili, whether I've gone too far or not is not up to you to judge. The people of the Tuoba Clan and the Zhongli Clan wanted to kill me. Can't I take revenge now? Does it mean that my life, Su Xin's, is worthless and can only wait for them to kill me? "
Baili Changkong was suddenly speechless. Tuoba Yu was not the only one who participated in the siege of Su Xin. Zhongli Wei and Murong Zongzheng were also involved.
Baili Changkong sighed and said, "Tuoba Yu is dead, the Tuoba Clan has been annihilated, and Zhongli Wei was killed on the spot in the Demon Clan's Seal. Isn't that enough? What else do you want?
You should know that Murong Zongzheng was the one who hurt you the most back then. Now that the Murong Clan has obtained the Inner Elixir of the True Dragon and Murong Long is about to become an Earth Immortal of the Real Martial Realm, it won't be easy for you to take revenge on him when that time comes.
Why don't you and I join forces to deal with the Murong Clan and annihilate them. At that time, the grudge between you and the Zhongli Clan will also be settled. How about that? "
Everyone present sighed in admiration. Baili Changkong, the old fox, was indeed not a fool. It would be great if things could really develop in this way.
Su Xin's strength was obvious to all. He had just advanced to the Yang Spirit Realm and killed Tuoba Yu with one move. Although Tuoba Yu was near the end of his lifespan and was seriously injured, this kind of strength was still shocking enough.
Bringing Su Xin in alone would increase their chances of winning. With the addition of Su Xin's Shadow Guards and the Northwest Army, at least many people from the Northwest Clan would die.
However, Su Xin sneered in his heart at this time. This Baili Changkong had a good idea.
Su Xin said coldly, "I will settle the grudge with the Murong Clan, but no one can stop me from attacking the Zhongli Clan today!"
"Arrogant!"
Many people from the Northwest Clan suddenly shouted angrily. Even Baili Changkong, who was a good person, felt a little embarrassed.
'This Su Xin is a little too domineering. We have said all kinds of good things, but you still don't give us face. Do you really want to fight with us?'
Just as everyone was about to explode, Su Xin changed the topic and said, "Actually, I have no intention of becoming enemies with other clans. I, Su Xin, have always been a person who does not offend others if they do not offend me."
Everyone present cursed in their hearts. Su Xin's words were pure nonsense.
The so-called 'I will not offend others if they do not offend me' was based on the fact that I did not have the strength. Did those clans of the Jiangnan Clan and the Beiyuan Clan offend you? Didn't they all get annihilated by you?
Su Xin did not care about what they thought in their hearts. He continued, "The people who had a grudge with me were the people of the Zhongli Clan and the Tuoba Clan. Now that the Tuoba Clan is dead, I only want the Zhongli Clan to give me an explanation.
Otherwise, if you want to fight, I will fight with you. Although you have more people, don't forget that the Murong Clan is still watching from the side.
Murong Long has advanced to the True Martial Realm, so I can't take revenge. However, I will endure this. But what about you? Think about it carefully. If you really want to fight to the death, let's see who will lose more in the end! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression turned ugly.
Baili Changkong had said these words to Su Xin. Now that it was Su Xin who said these words to them, they were in a bit of a dilemma.
Most importantly, they did not know whether Su Xin's words were true or false. Was he deceiving them, or did he really have the guts to start a war with the Northwest Clan?
If Su Xin was deceiving them, then everything would be fine. However, if Su Xin's words were true, then they would have to let the Murong Clan advance to the True Martial Realm. At that time, everything would be too late.
Baili Changkong looked at the people of the Zhongli Clan and suddenly coughed. He said, "Brother Zhongli, since this is a personal grudge, it's not good for us to interfere. Since the Lord Su wants an explanation, why don't you give him an explanation? In the end, everyone will be happy. What do you think?"
The others also agreed, thinking that Baili Changkong's words made sense.
They did not want to fight to the death with Su Xin. That would affect their plan to deal with the Murong Clan.
Moreover, Su Xin could be considered to have taken a step back. Previously, he wanted to exterminate the Zhongli Clan. Now, he only wanted an explanation. This could be considered as giving everyone a way out of this embarrassing situation.
However, the people of the Zhongli Clan were extremely unwilling. Both Zhongli Yan and Zhongli Xing glared at the crowd, but they could not do anything.
It was obvious that the people present did not want to fight with Su Xin. Therefore, the Zhongli Clan should settle this matter yourselves. At most, they could only ask Su Xin not to go too far. Right now, Su Xin only wanted an explanation. So what if they gave him an explanation?
However, this matter was indeed a little sullen. The Great Elder of the Zhongli Clan had died at the hands of Su Xin. Now that Su Xin had come to threaten them, they still had to give Su Xin an explanation. The people of the Zhongli Clan were very unwilling to accept this!
