Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

However, instead of showing any restraint, Hou Yuxiao noticed the expressions on these people's faces and even nodded slightly to the seven demons standing behind Yang Xin.

Lv Luo and the six others dropped the people they were holding onto the ground in front of them, emitting a sound that instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The people from Wanyang County, as they looked at the seven on the ground, had a shadow pass over their eyes, for they all recognized the figures, who were none other than Chen Yuhe, Liu Fufeng, and Tong Hu, who had set off from Wanyang earlier this month.

Hou Yuxiao turned his gaze to the people from Wanyang County, pointed at the seven figures, and spoke with a tone filled with disdain, "Gentlemen from Wanyang County, you should recognize this group. These seven claimed they would come to Tongling to exterminate our Qinglong Association. Unfortunately, their strength was too weak, and they were captured by me in Zhaoyang. From now on, if anyone still harbors the thought of exterminating the Qinglong Association, you'd better weigh your capabilities carefully!"

Hearing the warning in Hou Yuxiao's voice, everyone grew tense.

The seven on the ground were no ordinary characters; apart from the four small-time faction leaders, Liu Fufeng and Chen Yuhe were Grandmasters of the First Realm, and Tong Hu, also known as God Fist Master, was a top expert listed on the Tiger List.

To have captured these seven, Fang Jinghong's strength must be far beyond a First Realm Grandmaster.

The Qinglong Association, it seems said they would publicly execute these seven!

Suddenly, this thought flashed through everyone's minds, and looking at the seven on the ground, a sinister smile appeared on their faces—excluding those from Wanyang County, of course.

Among the seven on the ground were Liu Fufeng, Chen Yuhe, Tong Hu, and four others who were heads of minor forces from Wanyang of the Righteous Path in Xuzhou. They were unrelated to the Demon Path forces of Sanling, so of course, these spectators hoped for nothing more than for Hou Yuxiao to kill the seven.

The people from Wanyang County who had come this time included members of the four forces. They clearly came for the four on the ground and seeing Hou Yuxiao picking someone up from the ground, their faces immediately grew tense.

Hou Yuxiao looked at the person in his hand, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes as True Qi condensed in his fist. He aimed a punch at the person's head...

In an instant, blood and flesh flew, and the Dan Embracing Phase warrior, who had been severely tortured by Hou Yujie and whose life or death was unknown, met the King of Hell in that very moment.

A tiny orb of light flew from the body of the slain warrior. Hou Yuxiao's pupils briefly flickered with light, realizing that no one else seemed to have noticed the orb at all, and he directly absorbed it into his body.

Seeing this bloody scene unfold, everyone below fell silent, and it was precisely then that Hou Yuxiao's voice rang out again.

"Anyone else who dares speak lightly of exterminating the Qinglong Association, no matter who they are, whether they ascend to the high heavens or descend to the Yellow Springs, the Qinglong Association will make sure to crush their bones and scatter their ashes. I hope you all remember this well!"

The people from Wanyang County immediately had their expressions change, all thinking the same thing:

From now on, no one can afford to offend this Qinglong Association!

The locals of Sanling, on the other hand, showed not much fear on their faces but instead fixed their eyes on the remaining six, eagerly hoping that Hou Yuxiao would continue to eliminate them.

"Of course, I, Mister Fang, am not someone who kills without reason. I have said before, the Qinglong Association wanders the martial world only seeking wealth, and today's killing is merely meant to set an example, a reluctant act for which I hope you all can show understanding.

As for the remaining six, I do not know which sects or factions they hail from. If today there are any sect members or relatives present, you can pay to redeem them. Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng, one hundred thousand taels of silver each, Tong Hu, seventy thousand taels, and as for these three, let's make it thirty thousand taels each!"

This Fang Jinghong is certainly not playing by the usual rules...

Hou Yuxiao saw the astonishment on everyone's faces and smiled faintly.

"Why kill people when I can make money? Besides, my merit isn't sufficient to absorb so much cultivation. It's more cost-effective to exchange for some silver..."

In this period, his merit had also increased quite a bit. He now had 14,921 points of merit and 83,120 points of karmic obstacles. If the ratio of merit to karmic obstacles in his body exceeds 1:10, he risks demonic possession or even death from his body exploding.

These are relatively dangerous numbers as of now.

Absorbing a normal Dan Embracing Phase warrior roughly requires under 300 points of karmic obstacles. Based on the absorption values, after absorbing, his karmic obstacles would skyrocket tenfold, approximately 3,000 points, needing 3,000 points of merit to offset.

His merit at most would suffice to absorb four Dan Embracing Phase warriors.

He did not want to be limited to absorbing Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm; there would be great chaos tonight, and he wanted to try the strength of a Master Realm Martial Artist to see how much he could improve!

One must have stores in reserve to be at ease...

"Leader Fang Long, here is thirty thousand taels of silver, please release our sect leader!"

From the direction of the people from Wanyang County, finally someone came forward, holding a silver note for thirty thousand taels, and gave a respectful bow to Hou Yuxiao.

As one person begins, the money comes out...

Hou Yuxiao looked at the silver note, a smile appearing under his mask, and he nodded lightly, absorbing the silver note into his hand and then returning the specified warrior back to them.

"My word is as good as gold. If anyone else wishes to redeem someone, speak now!"

"How dare you kidnap my son, Fang Jinghong! You have quite the audacity! Today, I will slaughter you, you little beast!"

Suddenly, an angry shout came from above, and Hou Yuxiao's face immediately darkened, sensing that the newcomer was far stronger than him. He said nothing, only turning his head to give Yang Xin a look.

Without speaking, Yang Xin simply nodded slightly, which calmed Hou Yuxiao's heart. He turned back to gaze into the sky, where two massive fists, bringing twin tornadoes, were descending from the heavens amidst a roar resembling both the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon.

Witnessing this terrifying force, Hou Yuxiao's complexion changed slightly, a shadow passing through his eyes.

"Divine Fist Iron Hand, Tong Wudi!"
