The Central Plains was shaken by the news of Su Xin's promotion to the 24th rank on the Earth List. However, Su Xin, who was far away in the Northwest, could not feel these things.
He was still thinking about a question, and that was why his main mission had not been completed yet.
Logically speaking, Su Xin's current power had far surpassed the major tribes in the Northwest. It could be said that he was second only to the Great Snowmountain in the entire Northwest, but why hadn't the system notified him that he had completed his task?
After thinking about it, Su Xin guessed that there were two reasons. One was that Baili Changkong and the other major tribes still had some trump cards that they had not used. Therefore, although they were not as strong as Su Xin on the surface, they still had the strength to compete with Su Xin. Therefore, the system determined that Su Xin had not completed his task.
The second reason was because of the Great Snowmountain.
The Great Snowmountain was the strongest force in the entire Northwest. If he did not get the recognition of the Great Snowmountain, he would not be the true overlord of the Northwest.
Just like the Murong clan, although everyone said that the Murong clan's strength was second only to the Great Snowmountain in the entire Northwest, this kind of thing had not been put in the open, so the Murong clan naturally did not dare to speak carelessly.
If it was really because of the second reason, then Su Xin would inevitably have to pay a visit to the Great Snowmountain. However, in his heart, Su Xin still did not want to completely shed all pretense of cordiality with the Great Snowmountain.
With Su Xin's current strength, he did not have the qualifications to challenge the existence of the True Martial Realm. Tantai Mieming was like a mountain pressing down on the entire Northwest Road. Unless Su Xin was promoted to the True Martial Realm, no one could challenge Tantai Mieming's position in the Northwest Road.
While Su Xin was thinking about this matter, Huang Bingcheng suddenly pushed the door open and angrily said, "Milord, the Baili clan and the other tribes are playing tricks with us. Originally, the Murong clan's territories have been occupied by them, and they are all rich in scarce resources."
Su Xin's fingers tapped on the table. He had guessed this before. The Baili clan and the other tribes had suffered such a huge loss this time, how could they just give up and willingly give all their territories to Su Xin? Therefore, they would definitely play some tricks in the open and in the dark.
"They dare to openly compete with us?"
Huang Bingcheng shook his head and said, "They're not openly competing with us. The Murong clan's strength is almost the strongest clan in the entire northwest, so some of their cultivation resources are not around the clan, but in the distance.
Because this place was the Murong clan's territory, when the Murong clan was at its peak, they didn't send many people to guard it. There wasn't even a single Murong clan member, only a few servants. In any case, no one dared to have any ideas about the Murong clan.
In the beginning, we also neglected these places. It was only after Lord Cai and the others reminded us that we found out.
However, when we sent people over, the Baili Clan and the other clans occupied all of those places. They even said that this place didn't belong to the Murong Clan in the first place. "
Su Xin said lightly, "You fought with them?"
Huang Bingcheng shook his head and said, "No, Lord Cai went with us. He told us to report to you first."
Su Xin nodded. Cai Sanyuan, that old fox, had always been cautious. He wouldn't participate in this kind of thing.
Moreover, Cai Sanyuan couldn't figure out what Su Xin was thinking. He didn't know whether Su Xin wanted to make a move against the northwest tribes or not. Therefore, he suggested Huang Bingcheng to ask Su Xin's opinion.
Su Xin said in a low voice, "Since some people want to play tricks, then we might as well play with them. Don't touch these places for now. When the time comes, I'll make them return."
Huang Bingcheng stood to the side. Since Boss had a plan, then there was no problem. The Baili Clan and the other clans wanted to play tricks on Boss. It wasn't that Huang Bingcheng looked down on them, but these northwest tribes were still too inexperienced.
"Old Huang, let the construction of the other cities slow down for the time being. Build the new city around the Baili Tribe and the other tribes. Remember, there must be three cities surrounding each tribe."
When Huang Bingcheng heard the news, he was startled at first. Then, he understood what Su Xin meant. Although this move wasn't very honorable, it was enough to disgust the Baili Clan.
Originally, the Baili Clan and the other tribes were located in the kind of green and beautiful mountains that were suitable for cultivation. In the past, because the imperial court did not actually supervise the Northwest Road, they did not build a city inside the Northwest Road. In the entire Northwest Road, there were only a few cities such as the Flying Dragon City.
Now that Su Xin had destroyed the Murong Clan, he had enough power to speak in the Northwest Road. Of course, building a city in the Northwest Road wouldn't be a problem. However, if he built this city next to the Baili Clan and the other clans, and even surrounded them, it would be purely disgusting.
After all, no one wanted to be surrounded by several big cities the moment they opened their eyes. Moreover, in the future, these cities wouldn't just be ordinary people. There would definitely be garrisons under Su Xin.
At that time, their entire clans would be under Su Xin's surveillance. This was absolutely unacceptable for the Baili Clan and the other clans who wanted to maintain their independence.
But now, they were still nominally under Su Xin's Northwest Road Jiedu Office. Did he need to ask for their opinion when building a city? He didn't build a city in their territory either.
Huang Bingcheng could already foresee that Su Xin's move would disgust those northwestern clans.
At this time, in the Baili Clan, Baili Changkong was drinking tea with the Yang God Realm warriors of the Huyan Clan and the Jialan Clan.
This time, they were the ones who took the lead in secretly invading Murong Clan's territory and playing dirty tricks right under Su Xin's nose.
However, Baili Changkong seemed very calm. The Yang God Realm warrior of the Huyan Clan frowned and said, "Brother Baili, we are deliberately going against Su Xin by doing this. At this time, his momentum is at its peak. It's not wise for us to provoke him."
Baili Changkong said indifferently, "It's precisely because Su Xin's momentum is at its peak that I'm going to make a move. This time, Su Xin has already taken enough. One can't be too greedy.
Right now, Su Xin hasn't even finished his own business. We are just playing some tricks in the dark. Su Xin won't shed all pretense of cordiality with us.
Otherwise, don't look at how his forces seem to be flourishing now. If we fight with us again, it will be a lose-lose situation. As long as Su Xin wants to run his territory smoothly, then Su Xin won't do this.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, these places of the Murong Clan are places that Su Xin hasn't discovered by himself. After such a long time, no one has taken over the Murong Clan's territory. The people have long run away. What's wrong with us taking over? "
The warriors of the Huyan Clan and the Jialan Clan looked at each other. They had both fought with Su Xin before. In addition, they had seen Su Xin's power when he killed Murong Longqi. Therefore, they were subconsciously afraid of Su Xin.
Baili Changkong looked at the two of them with some disdain in his heart.
It was pure luck that the two of them had survived the battle with the Murong Clan. Some big clans had been destroyed, but these two clans, who had retreated as soon as the battle started, had not suffered many losses.
In fact, it was only Baili Changkong who was playing tricks in the dark this time. After all, the Baili Clan had suffered some big losses this time. He needed to find a place to replenish his strength. The areas that the Murong Clan had left outside were rich in all kinds of precious cultivation resources. As long as Baili Changkong could seize one, the Murong Clan would not suffer a loss.
The other clans had also been instigated by Baili Changkong. Of course, the reason was not like what Baili Changkong had said. Instead, it was because Baili Changkong was really afraid of Su Xin.
Baili Changkong might not be the strongest among the Yang God Realm warriors of the northwest tribes, but he was the most slippery one.
The strength that Su Xin had now and the way he did things made Baili Changkong somewhat uncertain. If he took action, Su Xin might really lead an army to exterminate the Baili Clan.
Therefore, Baili Changkong had secretly instigated the other clans to take action together. At that time, the law would not punish the masses. Unless Su Xin wanted to completely break off with the northwest tribes and fight to the death with them, this matter would most likely be left unsettled.
Moreover, several days had passed since they took action, but there was still no movement from Su Xin. They subconsciously thought that Su Xin was going to put up with this matter and pretend that he had not seen it. This also made Baili Changkong and the others heave a sigh of relief.
However, at this time, Baili Changkong and the others received the news that Su Xin was going to build a city around their clans. He had directly surrounded their clans and had even sent people to measure the area of the city. This made Baili Changkong so angry that he immediately smashed his cup!
He really did not expect that Su Xin could even think of such a trick.
Building a city around their clans could not do anything to them, but it could make them feel disgusted.
After all, no one wanted their every move to be under the surveillance of others. What was the difference between this and being in prison?
Of course, Baili Changkong and the others could also choose to move away from their current place, but the northwest road was so big. How many suitable places were there for the tribe to stay? Almost all of them had been occupied by Su Xin. Where else could they move to?
"Let's go and find Su Xin and ask for an explanation!"
On Baili Changkong's side, he immediately joined forces with the leaders of the other clans and directly rushed to the Flying Dragon City.
By the time Baili Changkong and the others arrived at the Flying Dragon City, their expressions had changed.
Of course, they knew what the Flying Dragon City was like in the past. However, after it was taken over by Su Xin, the current Flying Dragon City already had the atmosphere of a big city in the Central Plains.
The four city gates were heavily guarded. Whether it was the guards or the patrols on the city walls, they were all warriors of the Houtian Realm. There were also Dragon Slaughtering Crossbows erected on the city walls, which were specially prepared for warriors of the Xiantian Realm.
The entire Flying Dragon City was heavily guarded. There were countless experts in the city, and the blood and qi in the city soared to the sky. Obviously, there were countless experts entrenched in the city.
It was only at this moment that they realized how big the gap between their clans and Su Xin's Northwest Road Jiedu Office was. Even if Su Xin was excluded, they still did not have the confidence to fight against the power of the imperial court in the northwest.
