Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Fan Longhe's trembling voice at this moment was completely insufficient to convey the terror in his heart, the same was true for Ding Dian and Ding Buhai standing beside him.

Although it was known that the Qinglong Association had colluded with demons, it had to be said that up to this point, they still had not considered the Qinglong Association a primary concern, focusing more on the demons behind them.

Because the Qinglong Association's activities were confined to the Sanling Region and the territory of the four counties of Wanyang, with only one Grandmaster Realm martial artist, Third Dragon Head Fang Jinghong, and one Heavenly Great Grandmaster, Second Dragon Head Fang Longxiang, appearing in the area.

In the scope of a single county, this strength was indeed not bad, but since Fan Longhe and the two others were already at the pinnacle of a county's hierarchy, they naturally wouldn't be frightened.

However, the strength that the Qinglong Association revealed at this moment left them dumbfounded.

Three Heavenly Great Grandmasters, six First Realm Grandmasters, and eight Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm; this power had far surpassed that of a county's powerhouse.

Ding Buhai's pupils shrank abruptly, and a thick sense of wariness rose on his face.

His Great Luo Sect was the leading force in Tongling, producing only three First Realm Grandmasters to date, plus himself, a Third Realm Grandmaster, with fewer than thirty Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm. Compared with the current Qinglong Association, there was simply no contest.

Even Ding Dian, the highest in cultivation among the three, had a heavy expression on his face by now, not to mention the others who had come to watch.

"My Qinglong Association operates in the martial world solely for wealth, and we're not the only ones in the Sanling Region who delve into the assassination business. The Zhu Family and the Silver Blade Society of Jinling have blood on their hands, no less than eight hundred if not a thousand lives; yet, why do I not see you all demanding justice? Why only target the Qinglong Association with your cries of attack and execution? Could it be that you all think the Qinglong Association is an easy target?"

Hou Yuxiao took a step forward, his eyes emitting an icy light, and his voice, altered by the mask, was deep and eerie.

Upon hearing these words, everyone's expressions changed in unison. Although they didn't want to admit it, this statement undoubtedly hit them where it hurt.

At the same time, everyone turned their gaze towards Fang Longxiang, who had just appeared, and immediately, a look of confusion flashed in their eyes.

If Second Dragon Head Fang Longxiang had appeared, how was it that Fang Jinghong, the Third Dragon Head, still stood in front of him to speak?

Hou Yuxiao, seeing the expressions in everyone's eyes, immediately knew what they were thinking.

The matter of the Qinglong Token was already set; Maiden Hong had given instruction that everything was to be managed by him. Yang Xin was utterly submissive to Maiden Hong, naturally not daring to overstep, so until the hundred Qinglong Bronze Orders that day had been distributed, the eight demons behind him were all under his command.

Of course, he wouldn't explain any of this to the crowd in front of him, after all, the more mysterious the Qinglong Association appeared to outsiders, the more it benefitted his family.

"However, since Mister Fang is in the assassination trade, I knew from the onset that it would offend others. Your reactions today are also within Mister Fang's expectations. Just now, I don't know who was saying they wanted to seek justice from the Qinglong Association, and who else wanted to settle matters with us. Why not all come out? Whatever justice you want to seek, whatever matters you want to settle, the Qinglong Association will take them all on today. How about that?"

Hou Yuxiao's scornful voice rose, and in an instant, silence fell upon the crowd. Following that, the breathing of everyone present grew heavier, and the looks directed at the members of the Qinglong Association in the center turned increasingly furious.

"This Fang Jinghong, how dare he be so domineering?"

"A mere First Realm Grandmaster, what gives him the right..."

"No matter how strong the Qinglong Association is, could it really contend with all the forces of Sanling?"

"An assassination group that rose to power in less than half a year dares to spout such arrogance!"

…

Whether from The Righteous Path or the Demon Path, everyone in the martial world knows the principle that public fury is difficult to provoke, and Fang Jinghong's dominance was such a shock to the crowd that it refreshed everyone's previous understanding of him, instantly a bout of quiet murmuring arose from the crowd.

As the murmuring grew louder, an angry mood also palpably spread among the crowd, with voices of indignation growing steadily louder.

"Speak up!"

Suddenly, with another stern shout from Hou Yuxiao, the murmurs were instantly quelled.

Those who had been frothing with rage amongst the crowd went rigid and turned their eyes toward Hou Yuxiao with the mask, and then promptly shut their mouths.

Hiss...

Hou Yuxiao's cold chuckle nearly made everyone present lose face; at this moment, not only were the faces of the Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm unbearably dark, but even those from the leading forces at the forefront were now spewing flames from their eyes.

But even so, none of them dared to step forward, not even to speak out loudly from within the crowd.

They dared not!

Nominally, with so many speaking out, if they were to unite, defeating the Qinglong Association might not be guaranteed, but losing would certainly not be a possibility.

But the issue was that no one dared to take the lead. The Qinglong Association's strength was already evident, and if they could not completely and permanently eliminate them in one fell swoop, the leader of the charge would assuredly meet a terrible end afterwards.

Furthermore, they were just a loose coalition to begin with today, so the possibility of joining forces was practically non-existent. Fan Longhe and others were targeting the demons behind the Qinglong Association, while others from other counties had come for vengeance or for Qinglong tokens, each with their own agendas, so how could they form a united front?

Consequently, the crowd could only watch as Fang Jinghong tread on their faces, and along with the rest of the Qinglong Association, continuously tested their limits.
