Su Xin's trip to the Big Snow Mountain was considered a success, as he had managed to acquire everything he wanted, including maximal authority over the Northwestern Province and his own mission.
As Su Xin had guessed before, to complete this main quest, it was indeed necessary to face the Big Snow Mountain once, only by obtaining its acknowledgment would people like Baili Changkong fully submit.
Of course, Su Xin could also choose to completely annihilate the Martial Artists of Baili Changkong's and other clans, but that would cause significant losses to his side as well.
After all, the remaining strength of Baili Changkong's and several other clans combined was even stronger than the Qingcheng Sword Sect, that is, if Qingcheng Sword Sect didn't use Divine Weapons.
Therefore, leveraging the prestige of the Big Snow Mountain to make the Baili clan and other clans fully submit like now was the best outcome.
