At the peak of the Great Snowy Mountain, Tantai Mieming looked at the scenery below and remained silent. Su Xin also stood behind him without saying a word.
After a while, Tantai Mieming finally spoke, "Friend Su, did you know that Baili Changkong and the others were scheming against you today?"
Su Xin nodded and said, "Of course I knew that. However, their little tricks were actually harming the Great Snowy Mountain's interests."
Tantai Mieming turned around and said, "In the past, the rulers of the Great Snowy Mountain were all from the northwestern tribes. They were strong and had high prestige. That was why they were able to lead the northwestern tribes to fight against their enemies.
Later on, the dynasty was destroyed and the Human Emperor was nowhere to be found. After that, the next few dynasties did not have the same strength as the dynasty. Therefore, they were no longer a threat to the northwest.
From then on, the Great Snowy Mountain changed. From a place of martial arts inheritance, it became a place of fighting for power. As long as a tribe could control the Great Snowy Mountain, that tribe would be able to rise.
So, after several generations, a martial artist from a small tribe finally reached the True Martial Realm and took over the Great Snowmountain. From that time on, the successive masters of the Great Snowmountain wanted to completely break away from the Northwest tribes and become a truly independent holy land of martial arts. "
Su Xin stood behind Tantai Mieming and did not speak. The Great Snowy Mountain's choice was right. Although the northwestern tribes were in an alliance, they still had internal conflicts. Just like the Murong clan's incident this time, if there was something that could ignite these conflicts, the entire northwestern region would definitely explode.
If the Great Snowy Mountain did not want to be affected and wanted to continue passing down their legacy, they had to break away from the northwestern tribes and become an independent existence.
This time, the Murong clan's incident had caused the Great Snowy Mountain's strength to decrease by almost half. However, the people who left did not consider themselves to be part of the Great Snowy Mountain. Therefore, the Great Snowy Mountain could take this opportunity to get rid of those people.
Therefore, Su Xin said in a deep voice, "The Great Snowy Mountain has already achieved this goal."
Tantai Mieming shook his head and said, "Not yet. If the Great Snowy Mountain had truly broken away from the northwestern tribes, today's incident would not have happened."
As he spoke, Tantai Mieming directly looked at Su Xin, "They've instigated Sikong Ming to attack you today. If you don't accept the challenge or refuse on purpose, then it'll affect your reputation.
On the contrary, you've accepted the challenge and displayed your invincibility, but at the same time, you've caused the Great Snowmountain to lose face.
That's why I'm handing this problem to you now. Everyone says that you, Su Xin, are resourceful and good at figuring out people's minds. Can you come up with a solution that satisfies both sides? Not only can it preserve the faces of both sides, but it can also prevent those northwestern tribes from affecting the Great Snowmountain. "
Tantai Mieming's words stunned Su Xin. It was clear that Tantai Mieming was implying that Su Xin should think of a way to solve this problem. If Su Xin couldn't solve it, then he would have to protect the Great Snowmountain's reputation.
Everyone said that Tantai Mieming had the demeanor of a grandmaster. But looking at him now, Tantai Mieming was actually very cunning. To be able to cultivate to such a level, which of them wasn't a wily old fox?
However, Su Xin had no intention of going against the Great Snowmountain. Therefore, he had to think of this plan himself.
After a moment of silence, Su Xin said, "Senior Tantai, actually, the problem that you're worried about isn't considered a problem outside of the northwestern region. It's just that you're used to thinking of solutions from your own side and not thinking of solutions from the outside world."
Tantai Mieming gestured for Su Xin to continue. Everyone had their own specialties, and Tantai Mieming was not good at scheming and scheming in this area.
As the leader of the Great Snowmountain, as long as he had a good grasp of the big picture and knew how to use his subordinates, it would be fine. His subordinates would naturally consider everything for him.
For example, he wasn't good at this, but he knew that Su Xin was good at it. That was enough.
Su Xin continued, "It's actually very simple to change the influence of the northwestern tribes in the Great Snowmountain. That is to expand the strength of the Great Snowmountain and dilute their influence in the Great Snowmountain."
Su Xin pointed to himself and said, "If I'm willing to join the Great Snowmountain and become an honorary elder of the Great Snowmountain, then the competition just now would just be an internal competition of the Great Snowmountain. Although it's like stealing a bell while covering one's ears, at least it would be enough to save face.
And the other martial artists of the northwestern region would also be willing to join the Great Snowmountain and become an honorary elder of the Great Snowmountain. This would reduce the number of martial artists from the northwestern tribes from the majority to the minority. This way, as long as there's enough time, these martial artists from the northwestern tribes would have the least say in the Great Snowmountain. "
Honorary elders were very common in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. However, in the northwestern region, whether it was the Great Snowmountain or the northwestern tribes, they didn't have this habit.
The official disciples of the Great Snowmountain had to cultivate in the Great Snowmountain all day long. They also had to go deep into the bitter cold of the extreme north to hone their strength. Although this was a very good way to cultivate, many people couldn't stand this kind of boring life and chose to leave the Great Snowmountain, such as Cai Sanyuan and the others.
If the Great Snowmountain also adopted this system of honorary elders, not only would it increase the strength of the Great Snowmountain, but it would also dilute the power of the northwestern tribes in the Great Snowmountain. It would be killing two birds with one stone.
Tantai Mieming sighed and said, "Some things are very difficult to understand, but it's very simple to understand."
Su Xin shook his head and said, "This method can only be used now. In the past, the majority of the martial artists from the northwestern tribes were not only in the Great Snowmountain, but even the entire northwestern region was under their control. Even if the Great Snowmountain opened its mouth to recruit honorary elders, it is estimated that only a few people would come.
But now, it's different. In the northwestern region, I can already compete with those northwestern tribes. In fact, I'm even more imposing. As long as I open my mouth to become an honorary elder of the Great Snowmountain, I believe that many people will take the initiative to join the Great Snowmountain as an honorary elder. Moreover, the Great Snowmountain won't lack this little bit of cultivation resources. "
Tantai Mieming nodded and revealed a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth, "No matter what, the problem of the Great Snowmountain has been solved. I can also guarantee that the Great Snowmountain will only be a place of martial arts inheritance. Only in the bitter cold of the extreme north, the Great Snowmountain is the Great Snowmountain. If it were to change the place, I reckon that the Great Snowmountain would change its flavor."
Su Xin nodded. This was a promise that Tantai Mieming had made to him.
Su Xin had already decided to make the northwestern region his foundation. Those northwestern tribes were no longer a concern. According to their system, these people would only become weaker and not stronger.
Therefore, in the entire northwestern region, the only power that could threaten Su Xin was the Great Snowmountain.
Right now, Tantai Mieming had promised Su Xin that the Great Snowmountain would only be a place of martial arts inheritance. This was also to show Su Xin that the Great Snowmountain had no interest in the struggle for power in the northwestern region.
In fact, this was indeed the case. If the Great Snowmountain was like those northwestern tribes and only cared about fighting for power, then the Great Snowmountain wouldn't have been able to cultivate so many experts.
Tantai Mieming was returning the favor by doing this. This was beneficial to everyone.
At this moment, the ceremony in the martial arts arena had already ended. Nalan Ronghai was also arranging the banquet.
The banquet of the Great Snowmountain was very unique. There weren't any delicacies. There were only a few specialties from the extreme north. Although the taste wasn't that great, it was still very beneficial for warriors' cultivation.
However, no one was in the mood to eat the dishes in front of them. Their minds were all on Su Xin and Tantai Mieming.
However, they didn't have to wait for too long. After a short while, Su Xin and Tantai Mieming appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing that Su Xin was fine, Li Bo and Su Xin's subordinates heaved a sigh of relief.
Of course, in Qingli's opinion, they were worrying too much.
Previously, Tantai Mieming wouldn't do anything to Zhao Wunian. Similarly, he wouldn't do anything to Su Xin now.
Looking at the crowd, Tantai Mieming said calmly, "Young friend Su might be considered a rising star in the Pugilistic World due to his age. However, in terms of martial arts cultivation, he is a true Martial Grandmaster.
Therefore, I have decided to invite him to be the Great Snowmountain's guest elder. Although he doesn't wield any real power, his status is second only to me.
Similarly, the Great Snowmountain will be recruiting many guest elders. As long as your abilities and character are up to standard, you can join the Great Snowmountain. Furthermore, the Great Snowmountain will not restrict your freedom or movements. "
As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed, especially Baili Changkong and the others.
At this point, they still hadn't realized how the Great Snowmountain's recruitment would affect them. All they saw was that Su Xin had become the Great Snowmountain's guest elder. Didn't this mean that Su Xin was now part of the Great Snowmountain's family? If that was the case, what were they planning?
With the Great Snowmountain's relationship, they didn't even dare to make a move on Su Xin.
In the past, no matter how strong Su Xin's influence in the Northwest was, he was still an outsider. At most, he was a dragon crossing the river while they were the local bullies.
Now that Su Xin had become an elder of the Great Snowmountain, he was like a dragon crossing the river and a dragon crossing the river. If the local bullies wanted to plot against Su Xin, they would be courting death.
This shocked everyone. However, Tantai Mieming didn't give them a chance to speak. He waved his hand and the ceremony ended. Everyone could leave.
At this point, the system's voice sounded in Su Xin's head. The moment Tantai Mieming said this, Su Xin's main mission was considered completed.
