Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

The goals of the Wanjian Holy Sect and Bailu Academy are definitely still focused on the Rakshasa Holy Sect or, one could say, Yongzhou. But what about the other Holy Lands? They are tens of thousands of miles away from Yongzhou; surely, they didn't come just for this territory?

The current situation is utterly perplexing and has long since surpassed the capability of the minor Hou Clan to interfere. Of this self-awareness, Hou Yuxiao still had plenty.

To be precise, since the matter of the Qinglong Token slipped out of control, he was forced to side with Maiden Hong, also known as Blood Demon. From that point on, the only thing that mattered most to the Hou Family was Old Fifth, that is, Hou Yuduan alone.

It's hard to say whether Hou Yuduan was fortunate or unfortunate, but he was particularly chosen by Maiden Hong.

Considering the chaotic situation in Tongling, Hou Yuxiao thought the best strategy would be to take his clan members and flee, to lay low for a while, or to relocate and develop elsewhere until the Tongling situation cleared up, then they could possibly return.

But now that they had become entangled with Maiden Hong, running away was certainly not an option. Secretly fleeing with Old Fifth was not only impractical but would also likely result in the severe risk of infuriating Maiden Hong.

Thus, they could only stay put obediently and always be ready to follow Maiden Hong's orders, not just because they had accepted her gifts, but more critically, because they needed a way to extract Old Fifth from her clutches.

Fortunately, up to this point, they were only helping Maiden Hong under the name of the Qinglong Association, so there hadn't been any direct involvement with the Hou Family.

Associating with demons, considered in the previous dynasty, was a grave crime that could implicate ten clans.

Hou Yuxiao couldn't let the relationship between the Hou Clan and the Qinglong Association be exposed, the thought flashed through his mind as he looked up and saw that Hou Yujie was still watching him. He shook his head and responded, "Does the Blood Demon dare to make such a big scene, bringing so many people over, without any support?

Besides, each of the Holy Lands has their own schemes, probably hoping to see the Rakshasa Holy Sect fall. It's still unclear how they will react upon meeting the Blood Demon.

Who will win and who will lose among these factions is not clear until the very end!"

After saying this, Hou Yuxiao saw Hou Yujie's worried expression and softly said, "Maiden Hong's attitude towards Old Fifth has been fine so far..."

After he spoke, Hou Yuxiao paused, remembered how he almost got killed by Maiden Hong nine days ago, and a trace of after-fear flashed in his eyes, then he added, "As long as we don't defy or anger her, Old Fifth will be fine!"

At that moment, Hou Yujie could only nod helplessly, remained silent for a while, then softly asked, "So, are we still going ahead with the original plan on Rakshasa Festival day?"

With only four days left till the Rakshasa Festival, Hou Yuxiao, who had arrived in the Prefectural City seven days earlier, had already agreed on the Qinglong Token matter. That was before knowing that the Prefectural Magistrate's Office and the Prison Admin Department would be getting involved. Now that he knew they were also entering the fray, it naturally warranted reconsideration of whether to alter their plan, hence Hou Yujie's question.

Hou Yuxiao naturally understood his concern. After thinking for a moment, instead of answering immediately, he first used his True Qi to sense the atmosphere outside the Hou Clan residence before asking, "Did Old Fifth go out on his own?"

This afternoon, to discuss matters at the Shengxin Residence, Hou Yuxiao knew that the Fourth Elder and Old Fifth had gone together, but only Hou Yujie had returned alone now.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Hou Yujie's eyes as he responded, "He made an excuse to leave after coming out from the Shengxin Residence. I suspect he went to tip off Maiden Hong."

Hou Yuxiao didn't need Hou Yujie's confirmation to know where Old Fifth had gone.

Hou Yuduan, being even smarter, had deduced so much from the information Hou Yujie brought back. The insights he could gain from being present there today would undoubtedly be much greater.

The arrival of so many experts from nearly half of the Holy Lands in The World, and with Maiden Hong's situation being so perilous, the infatuated youngster would surely rush to inform her immediately.

"It's good that Old Fifth went to tip her off. Isn't Maiden Hong wanting us to help her with the Qinglong Token matter? The strategies devised by Fan Longhe and Ding Dian are aimed directly at her. Now that so many experts have gathered in the prefecture and we alone cannot handle this smoothly, it all depends on whether she can come up with countermeasures!"

Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment, quickly sorted out his thoughts, realizing that the Qinglong Token matter had escalated so significantly it barely involved the family anymore. Given the family's current strength, they were simply incapable of handling such an enormous issue; thus, he could relax a bit.

"As long as she is informed by Old Fifth and plans to continue the Qinglong Token matter, during the upcoming four days, she will definitely send someone to contact us first, so there's no need to worry about the Rakshasa Festival matters!"

Having said this, Hou Yuxiao then sat back down on his chair and muttered softly, "Considering the nine major forces with body-opening Martial Artists of five levels and above, the Great Luo Sect alone has over four thousand, and counting the other eight, approximately seven hundred per house, which totals about six thousand. That's nearly ten thousand people.

More than ten thousand people, plus thirty thousand troops from Xingnan Prefecture's Mansion Army, even a heaven-level Great Grandmaster could be deterred by this force. It seems Fan Longhe is genuinely a bit scared this time!"

Hou Yujie knew he was referring to the matter of Fan Longhe ordering people from the nine families. He nodded and said, "Fan Longhe's orders today were very firm. Not to mention our involvement with the Great Luo Sect, even those standing with Ding Dian such as Qijue Gate, Lonely Moon Sect, and Ling Cheng Escort Agency, all three places dared not voice any objections and immediately declared that on the day of the Rakshasa Festival, Sect Members must follow the orders of Commander Gui."
