Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

New Yu Era 1322, early morning, June 3

Ten miles northeast of Yunye County on the Official Road, a carriage slowly made its way toward Wanyang County, driven by Wan Xiaolou himself. He kept looking back at the road behind him, obviously waiting for someone.

The carriage was packed with more than a dozen children, all from an old temple. Despite his worries, Wan Xiaolou forced a smile and turned to lift the curtain and comfort them.

"Why hasn't Xiao Feng come yet? Could something have happened to him?"

"Don't worry, they'll be fine."

"Xiaolou, are we going to live in Wanyang County from now on?"

"Yes, we can't stay in Yunye County. We'll go to the County City together. Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid, as long as we are with Xiao Lou, we aren't afraid of anything!"

......

Seeing these children, who, like him, were deaf, express such simple and firm words, eased Wan Xiaolou's intense anxiety somewhat.

Yesterday night, he had someone impersonate that senior and deliberately betray the disciples of the Divine Sound Sect, creating a riot with the city's beggars.

Initially, he had thought that the senior had instructed him to lead people to the western part of the city to escape. However, the commotion from the Divine Sound Sect made him immediately realize something was amiss.

The senior had no intention to flee but to continue the assassination!

Wan Xiaolou was shocked, but also felt that his apprenticeship was definitely doomed. Helian Wuji was, after all, the top figure in Yunye County, even the County Lord had to bow before him.

Impossible to succeed!

Having made this judgment in his heart, Wan Xiaolou was distressed by the thought that his direly costly plan to become a disciple had failed.

Yet, he was not discouraged, and as previously planned, he took the children from the broken temple and left Yunye County.

With such a major incident the previous night involving many beggars, it was easy for the Divine Sound Sect to trace it back to them. Therefore, the final step of his plan was to escape.

However, due to the previous night's chaos in the city, he worried about being too conspicuous, so he had Wan Xiao Jin and four others leave the city at different times. It had been almost fifteen minutes since his departure, and they still hadn't caught up, which worried him, so he constantly looked back while slowing down.

Suddenly, four figures appeared at the end of the Official Road, sprinting toward the carriage. Upon seeing them, Wan Xiaolou's face lit up with joy, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Seeing Wan Xiaolou, the four were obviously excited and quickly ran toward him.

They were all from beggar backgrounds with little family wealth, and even as martial artists, they were at the lowest tier, hence they didn't have much money. In the past two years since Wan Xiaolou started earning, he had spent it all on training, hence they only had one horse to pull the carriage.

The four had an unnaturally bright red color on their faces. Wan Xiaolou assumed it was due to them running all the way here, or being overly excited, and was about to step forward to speak when Wan Xiao Jin, with an excited tone, interrupted him.

"Big brother, Helian Wuji was killed by that Azure Dragon Association's Senior Fang!"

"Pity, my plan to become a disciple is now spoiled..."

Wan Xiaolou's face showed a hint of disappointment, but soon he saw that Wan Xiao Jin's expression seemed off, and he suddenly paused.

"What did you say? Senior Fang killed Helian Wuji?"

Wan Xiao Jin and the others nodded vigorously, their faces filled with joy.

"We just left the city. Divine Sound Sect Sect Leader Helian Wuji has been killed, found with a Qinglong Token on his body. A few eyewitness saw that the person was wearing a mask of a three-headed blue dragon ghastly spirit, the Third Dragon Head of the Azure Dragon Association, Fang Jinghong, who had fought with Helian Wuji eight days ago."

Wan Xiaolou's face instantly showed a trace of wild joy, and he was so excited that he almost jumped out of the carriage.

"Killed Helian Wuji, killed Helian Wuji... He could kill Helian Wuji, who is an expert of the Tiger List. Senior Fang, his strength must be so strong!"

After repeatedly muttering to himself several times, Wan Xiaolou's excitement gradually calmed down. Just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"Come to the Prefectural City. I'll wait for you at the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building."

"Disciple obeys!"

Wan Xiaolou, unable to contain his excitement, knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky.

"Let's depart, the senior is waiting for us in Wanyang County City."

The four also realized who had just spoken, showing joyful smiles. Having such a powerful figure as a master filled them with excitement.

The five packed into the carriage, along with the more than a dozen children, and joyfully headed toward Wanyang County City.

...

New Yu Era 1322, June 5

Wanyang County, under Xuzhou in western Xingyuan Road, Guangling Prefecture, is one of the nine counties managed by Guangling, which is the largest among the four prefectures in Xingyuan.

Rich in resources and spirit, adjacent to Yongzhou Xingnan Prefecture, Guangling Prefecture is indeed stronger in both reputation and strength. One can see this just from Wanyang County alone.

The Second-rate force, Tianding Sect, commands immense respect in the County City for over two hundred years, with members exceeding ten thousand, and hundreds of martial artists in the Gang Qi Realm.

Its Sect Leader, Tong Wudi, known as Divine Fist Iron Hand, a Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm, is undefeated across the county and ranks 241 on the Dragon List. His son, Tong Hu, dubbed God Fist Master, joined the Tiger List at nearly 75 years old, ranked 421, and is even more renowned than his father.

With two experts from the Dragon Tiger List presiding, along with hundreds of Gang Qi Realm sect members, such strength still doesn't make Tianding Sect the recognized strongest Second-rate force in Guangling Prefecture.
