Su Xin's attack on the Dugu Clan's vassal sect in the Dugu Clan's territory was a slap in the Dugu Clan's face. In fact, this was what Su Xin did on purpose.
Now it is indeed difficult for Su Xin to touch the Dugu clan. To destroy the Qingcheng Sword Sect, Su Xin can borrow the power of the imperial court and heaven and earth. But to destroy the Su family, Su Xin mainly borrows the power of the Su family's collateral branches.
Now that it was Su Xin of the Dugu clan, he really didn't have the strength to borrow it.
Moreover, the location and identity of the Dugu clan are too sensitive. Even if Su Xin can find the power to deal with the Dugu clan, Ji Haodian will never let him do it.
So from the beginning, Su Xin had no intention of taking action against the Dugu Clan. He had said before that this time he was just planning to give the Dugu Clan a beating, just like the Dugu Clan was beating up the Qingyuan Sect and other sects that were gossiping in secret.
Same.
People always have to pay the price for their actions. Young disciples of the Qingyuan Sect and other sects said bad things about Dugu Yan, so they were all forcibly brought back to the Dugu Clan to be banned from cultivation and serve as slaves for ten years.
And the Dugu family wants to take advantage of the situation and snatch what is in Su Xin's mouth, so don't blame Su Xin for coming to your door in person and slapping you, the Dugu family, in the face.
So Su Xin went on non-stop, directly visiting more than a dozen vassal sects of the Dugu clan, and took away all the outstanding disciples of their sects.
Now all those sects were blown up. Su Xin was destroying the foundation of their sects by doing this!
The most fundamental thing of a sect is actually its people. These young disciples have been carefully cultivated by them. In the future, they may be able to break through to the realm of gods. However, now they are being handed over by Su Xin. This will happen decades later.
Who will inherit their mantle and take charge of the sect?
They couldn't bear this kind of thing, even if Su Xin was one of the four great arresters of the imperial court.
Therefore, these more than ten sects immediately sent people to the Dugu clan to prepare for help.
But at this time, no one in the Dugu clan noticed the movement here, because now the Dugu clan has a distinguished guest, the heir of the Xiao family, Xiao Huang, the "Marquis of Xiao'an".
The Xiao family is much stronger than the Dugu family, so Xiao Huang, the heir of the Xiao family, is worthy of Dugu Yan personally coming out to greet him. Moreover, the Xiao family has brought a lot of business to the Dugu family this time.
Generally speaking, every top force has a relatively stable source of resources. For example, Yi Jianmen and Mingjian Villa all have one or several precious veins of minerals, while Bashu Sword Pavilion is used to cast swords, refine weapons, and medicine.
Wang Gu is for alchemy.
These sects and aristocratic families use the various cultivation resources they produce to trade the cultivation resources produced by other forces, and everyone exchanges what they have.
Naturally, the Dugu family also had this source, and what they produced was very strange. It was a strange medicine called Dragon Bone Vine.
According to legend, the land of Beiyuan is home to dragon veins, and this dragon bone vine is the elixir nourished by the energy of the dragon vein. There is such a medicine field in Dazhou that also specializes in producing dragon bone vine. Of course, this medicine field is
Snatched from Dugu's hands.
The effect of this dragon bone vine is very strange. It is only of great benefit to warriors who practice dragon qi skills, but it has no effect on ordinary warriors.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty occupied such a field of dragon bone vine medicine specifically to prepare it for the warriors of the royal family.
Although the Dragon Bone Vine produced by the Dugu Clan in Beiyuan is of no use to them themselves, it can be sold to other forces in the world who need it. The Xiao family is naturally their big customer.
The Xiao family used to be the Daliang royal family, so some of the Xiao family's techniques were contaminated with some dragon energy. They needed to use the dragon bone vine to make elixirs for practice, and the dosage was quite large.
In addition to the Xiao family, the Dugu family also secretly smuggled the dragon bone vine to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. The royal family there also needed the dragon bone vine.
However, firstly, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is far away from the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, so the cost of smuggling is too high. Secondly, their strength is not strong, and the demand for this Dragon Bone Vine is too small.
Therefore, only the Xiao family is the real big customer. Every year, people from the Xiao family come to purchase the Dugu family's Dragon Bone Vine in person. But this time, the Xiao family actually sent Xiao Huang here. It seems that this 'Little Anhou' can be regarded as Xiao's
The real heir to the family.
Purchasing dragon bone vines is not a big deal, and the two forces have not been cooperating for a year or two. No one will secretly engage in some useless tricks.
But the Xiao family and the Dugu family are related by marriage, so every time they come to the Dugu family, the Xiao family has to send a powerful warrior with enough weight. This time they actually sent Xiao Huang, so you can imagine that he
His current status in the Xiao family.
Dugu Yan personally went to the door to greet Xiao Huang, and Xiao Huang was not the kind of person who lacked etiquette. He immediately walked over and said with a bright smile: "How dare you bother my aunt to come out to greet you by yourself?"
Xiao Chuo is Xiao Huang's father and the biological sister of 'Anhou' Xiao Wusheng, so Xiao Huang naturally calls Xiao Chuo his aunt, and Dugu Yan is his uncle.
Looking at Xiao Huang, Dugu Yan laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, I haven't seen you Xiao Huang for several years. Over the years, your reputation and power in the world have been very great. You are worthy of being the best of this generation of the Xiao family."
As your heir, I, the Dugu clan, cannot find a younger generation of warriors who can compete with you."
Hearing what Dugu Yan said about his reputation and power, Xiao Huang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and felt an awkward feeling in his heart.
Although he knew that Dugu Yan was actually complimenting him by saying this, he still felt awkward.
With the pervert Su Xin here, who among this generation of young martial artists would dare to say anything about their reputation and prestige in front of him?
Dugu Yan simply did not say much on this topic. He just exchanged a few words with Xiao Huang and then brought Xiao Huang into the living room.
After sitting down, Xiao Huang said: "Uncle, this time I come to Dugu Sect, I also need to purchase a batch of dragon bone vines again. The quantity is relatively large, requiring as much as 80,000 kilograms. I have also brought all the resources for the transaction."
Dugu Yan said directly: "No problem, the clan happens to have a batch of inventory, I will arrange for someone to prepare it for you."
With that said, Dugu Yan ordered a servant to pack all the dragon bone vines in the Dugu clan's inventory into a truck and bring them back to Xiao Huang.
The sales volume of the Dragon Bone Vine of their Dugu family is actually not much. After all, apart from the Xiao family, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions don't have much demand at all, so the Dugu family still has a lot of inventory.
In fact, the Golden Horde is a big customer. There are many countries in the world that can claim to be a country, but only the Golden Horde is truly capable of challenging the Great Zhou.
It's just a pity that the martial arts of the barbarians in the Golden Horde are too simple and crude. They are incomparable with the martial arts of the Central Plains martial arts that integrate hundreds of schools. Borrowing the skills of Dragon Qi, this high-end Golden Horde
The Khanate didn't have it, and even if it did, they would probably practice very slowly and poorly.
The business was quickly concluded, and Xiao Huang chatted with Dugu Yan.
After a few words of greeting, Xiao Huang suddenly asked: "Uncle, I heard that there was some friction between the Dugu family and Su Xin a few days ago?"
Dugu Yan nodded gloomily and said coldly: "I suffered a small loss, but I didn't expect that Su Xin was so cunning and even hid a power in the dark.
But the most abhorrent ones are those who secretly spread rumors.
I, the Dugu family, was just crushed by Su Xin’s hands, but to them, it’s as if I, the Dugu family, are about to lose their strength. It’s really abominable.”
Xiao Huang sneered in his heart while echoing Dugu Yan's words.
His aunt, who is not inferior to men, is really aggrieved for marrying him. If his aunt is not here, how can he want to be the head of the Dugu family based on such a thing?
Even Xiao Huang knows that nothing in this world is 100% possible without paying a price.
If you blame others and others whenever you encounter difficulties, then this person's mentality is probably very fragile. Don't practice martial arts with this kind of character, he will kneel down and surrender sooner or later.
As for Dugu Yan later arresting and punishing those who talked about him and the Dugu clan, this made Xiao Huang secretly shake his head again.
Everyone is a gangster, are we still afraid of other gangsters gossiping?
The more you block this kind of thing, the more it will happen. It's better to just ignore it and wait until there is no more noise in the world or other people make another incident to divert attention and the matter will be over.
But now Dugu Yan still wants to beat others, but he doesn't know that doing so will make these people remember you for the rest of their lives, and they will also hate you for the rest of their lives.
Xiao Huang coughed and said, "Uncle, don't worry. To be honest, I haven't dealt with Su Xin once before. This guy's methods are indeed very tricky.
Uncle, it's normal for you to suffer losses in his hands. Anyway, you can just make up your mind later, so don't worry about it."
Hearing what Xiao Huang said, Dugu Yan felt better. At this time, Xiao Huang suddenly asked: "By the way, where is my aunt?"
An embarrassed smile appeared on Dugu Yan's face, and he quickly said: "I'll send someone to invite you right away."
He sent someone instead of going in person because he knew Xiao Chuo would not see him.
Thinking of what he said last time, Dugu Yan also felt a little regretful, but his words were a bit too harsh.
But later, when Dugu Yan figured it out and wanted to apologize, Xiao Chuo didn't even give him a chance to apologize. He had been rejected for nearly half a month.
Just when Dugu Yan thought that Xiao Chuo would definitely not come, what he didn't expect was that Xiao Chuo actually came.
It's just that Xiao Chuo didn't say a word even when he came. She just sat coldly next to Dugu Yan. Even though the sun was shining outside, there was no expression on her face, only a lingering look.
Cold and frosty.
Xiao Huang didn't know much about the affairs within the Dugu clan, but looking at their current appearance, he knew what state they were in, so Xiao Huang didn't say much.
