In the end, Cai Sanyuan agreed to join Su Xin's Northwest Army. This was within Su Xin's expectations.
Su Xin had a good grasp of the human heart. He had only worked with Cai Sanyuan once, but he already had a good understanding of Cai Sanyuan's character.
This person was a wily old fox. He was unscrupulous, but he wasn't ruthless to the point where he had no bottom line.
Seeking benefits and avoiding harm had become Cai Sanyuan's instinct, so there was no need for Su Xin to persuade him. As long as Su Xin explained everything to Cai Sanyuan, Cai Sanyuan would naturally know how to choose.
Of course, the most important thing was Su Xin's current status and strength.
Right now, Su Xin had a string of dazzling titles on him, such as the Northwest Military Governor, Chief Steward of the Hidden Guards, all of which indicated that the Imperial Court would grant Su Xin a high degree of freedom. As long as he could take over the Northwest Province, then he, Su Xin, would be the Northwest King!
Of course, when Su Xin first entered the Northwest Army, he was treated as a joke. But with Su Xin's two amazing achievements, no one in the Northwest Army would treat Su Xin as a joke anymore.
At the very least, Cai Sanyuan knew that he was no match for Zhong Liyan. Su Xin was able to suppress Zhong Liyan all the way until he died, so Cai Sanyuan wouldn't be able to last more than ten moves against Su Xin.
Although they had fought side by side before, Cai Sanyuan's biggest advantage was that he could see himself clearly. It wasn't shameful for him to follow Su Xin.
"My Lord, are you still going to recruit Ji Wuyue and Yue Dongliu?"
Cai Sanyuan was very tactful. As soon as he joined Su Xin's army, he automatically changed the way he addressed Su Xin. The word 'Lord Su' became more intimate.
Moreover, he didn't need to think to know that since Su Xin had invited him, he would not give up the other two experts among the Rogue Cultivators, Ji Wuyue and Yue Dongliu.
The three of them were the symbol of the entire Northwest Path's rogue cultivators. As long as the three of them could be recruited, then the other rogue cultivators of the Northwest Path wouldn't even need to be personally recruited by Su Xin. They might even come to join him personally.
Su Xin nodded and said, "That's what I'm thinking. Brother Cai, you've known them for many years, so you should have a good understanding of their personalities. Do you think the chances of recruiting them are high?"
Since they were now on the same side, Su Xin no longer called him Manor Lord Cai. Instead, he called him Brother Cai, who was closer to him.
Cai Sanyuan chuckled and said, "Who do you think is easier to recruit?"
Su Xin said: "It should be Ji Wuyue. Yue Dongliu is said to be inflexible and hard to talk to."
Cai Sanyuan shook his head and said, "Lord Su, you're wrong. Compared to Yue Dongliu, Ji Wuyue is the hardest to talk to.
Although Yue Dongliu is inflexible and inflexible, he is a standard sword cultivator. Although he is unreasonable, I know that he has a different kind of dedication towards the Way of the Sword.
Yue Dongliu's father used to be a disciple of the Sword God Mountain, but because of an accident, his cultivation was crippled. He was unwilling to retire in the Sword God Mountain, so he came to the Northwest Path.
Yue Dongliu has been trained by his father as a disciple of the Sword God Mountain. Even his way of thinking is similar to the disciples of the Sword God Mountain. So as long as Lord Su can subdue Yue Dongliu in the Way of the Sword and use some other methods, it shouldn't be a problem to subdue him. "
Su Xin nodded in understanding. It turned out that Yue Dongliu had such a background. He really didn't know about this.
No wonder Su Xin felt that Yue Dongliu's temperament was a bit familiar the first time he saw him. So his father was from the Sword God Mountain, and his temperament was also passed down from the Sword God Mountain.
Cai Sanyuan continued: "As for Ji Wuyue, although we both learned martial arts in the Snowy Mountain when we were young, this person is very temperamental. It's impossible to control him. Sometimes, even I don't know what he's thinking.
Also, I've been advising Lord Su not to disturb Ji Wuyue. His Hundred Flowers Valley is about to bloom. Every year, during this time, he will take care of his useless things in the valley. He won't meet anyone who asks to see him, and he'll even start fighting if he's provoked.
So it's best not to disturb him for now. We'll go after he's finished taking care of those broken flowers and is in a good mood. "
Cai Sanyuan didn't understand Ji Wuyue's behavior at all.
It would be fine if the rare flowers he took care of were all kinds of elixirs, but the problem was that most of the things he took care of were just some useless things. They looked good, but had no other use.
He was an expert in the Yang God Realm, but he spent most of his time taking care of those useless things instead of practicing. He was crazy.
"Well, let's go find Yue Dongliu first," Su Xin said.
Cai Sanyuan said: "I happen to know where that guy has been practicing recently. I'll take you there, Lord Su."
The two of them left directly without disturbing Cai Sanyuan's Wealthy Villa. He didn't want others to know that Su Xin was going to recruit these rogue cultivators in the northwest.
Cai Sanyuan had Wealthy Villa and Ji Wuyue had Hundred Flowers Valley. Only Yue Dongliu didn't have a fixed place. He often changed places after fighting and always liked to go to the ice field on the side of the Great Snow Mountain to practice. Cai Sanyuan, who liked to enjoy life, also didn't understand this.
At this time, Yue Dongliu was also in a wasteland near the Great Snow Mountain. Half of the area here was covered with ice and snow. During the day, the sun melted the ice and snow, forming a huge waterfall that flew straight down from the ice mountain. When Su Xin and Cai Sanyuan arrived, Yue Dongliu was practicing swordsmanship under the waterfall.
Although he was under the waterfall, not a single drop of the water fell on him.
Yue Dongliu's sword moves were very slow, as if he was moving in slow motion. However, every slash of his sword seemed to have some kind of mysterious rhythm, which actually caused the waterfall to move and change the flow of the waterfall.
It should be known that when Yue Dongliu practiced swordsmanship, he didn't use the slightest internal force or Genuine Qi. He didn't even use his physical strength.
Cultivators of the Sword God Mountain first cultivate sword intent. Only those who have cultivated sword intent can be considered as an entry-level cultivator. Right now, Yue Dongliu was practicing sword intent.
Su Xin and Cai Sanyuan were standing next to the waterfall and didn't hide themselves. Yue Dongliu could completely sense them, but at this time, Yue Dongliu acted as if he didn't see the two and continued to practice his swordsmanship. After half an hour, he finished practicing a whole set of swordsmanship. Then, he took a step forward and appeared in front of Su Xin and Cai Sanyuan. With an indifferent expression, Yue Dongliu said: "What are you doing here?"
Yue Dongliu was also curious as to why Su Xin and Cai Sanyuan were together, but because of his indifferent nature, he didn't ask.
Su Xin smiled. With Yue Dongliu, there was no need to hide anything. Su Xin directly said: "I came here to invite Brother Yue to join my Northwest Army as an elder. Brother Cai has already agreed.
At present, Brother Yue and the other Northwest Rogue Cultivators have offended the Northwest Tribes. After they solve the Murong clan's problem, you Rogue Cultivators will have an even harder time in the Northwest.
If you join me, I can give Brother Yue the greatest freedom. If you want to go outside to hone your swordsmanship, I don't care. As long as you can appear in time when I need your help, that will be enough. "
In Su Xin's view, these conditions should be what Yue Dongliu needed the most right now.
First was the cultivation resources. It wasn't that Su Xin looked down on Yue Dongliu, but with his personality, the amount of cultivation resources he received each year was simply too little. It simply couldn't compare to Cai Sanyuan and Ji Wuyue.
Also, as a Sword Cultivator, Yue Dongliu needed to constantly hone his swordsmanship. Su Xin's conditions could also guarantee Yue Dongliu the greatest freedom.
Su Xin's conditions should be very tempting to Yue Dongliu, but at this time, Yue Dongliu acted as if he didn't hear Su Xin's conditions. Instead, he looked at Su Xin with a hint of fighting spirit.
"Lord Su, I'm used to living in peace. Whether it's eating and sleeping in the wilderness or joining the imperial court, I'm fine with it.
I heard that Lord Su, your swordsmanship is unparalleled. Although you aren't a Sword Cultivator, your swordsmanship has already shaken the world.
So, I want to have a duel with you. Both of us will only use sword skills and no other martial arts. If I win, then Lord Su, please go back and don't have any ideas about me in the future. If Lord Su wins, then from now on, I will only follow Lord Su. I wonder if Lord Su dares to agree? "
Su Xin secretly shook his head. This Yue Dongliu was really as stubborn as Cai Sanyuan had said. In the end, he had to make a move.
Of course, for Yue Dongliu, he also had the pride of a Sword Cultivator.
Su Xin's strength was well-known. Although he had never dealt with Su Xin before, Su Xin had killed Tuoba Yu with one punch, exchanged more than ten moves with him, and killed Zhong Liyan in one go. These two achievements were enough to establish Su Xin's position in the northwest.
At least, after Yue Dongliu knew about Su Xin's achievements, no matter how proud he was, he did not think that he could beat Su Xin with his own strength.
However, he was a Sword Cultivator, and he had practiced the sword all his life. For someone like Su Xin, who was not focused on the sword but was still famous for his swordsmanship, Yue Dongliu was really not convinced.
At least for now, in his opinion, Su Xin's sword skills were very strong, but he was also famous for his finger skills. His fist skills were not weak either, and he specialized in these things. Right now, Yue Dongliu only wanted to challenge Su Xin's swordsmanship. He still had some confidence in winning.
Su Xin held the Flying Blood Sword in his hand and smiled, "Since Brother Yue is interested, then I will accompany you to the end."
Yue Dongliu nodded. With a solemn expression, he placed the ancient longsword in his hand at his side. A sharp aura that belonged to a swordsman suddenly burst out. It was incomparably sharp and pierced through the clouds. It even stirred the heavens and the earth, causing faint sounds of thunder to resound in the sky.
