Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Not just Hou Yuxiao, but anyone in Wanyang County with some knowledge recognized the imposing, white-haired old man who descended from the sky for who he was.

Divine Fist Iron Hand, Tong Wudi!

Sect Master of Tianding Sect, the number one expert of Wanyang County, Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm.

"Tong Wudi has come too!"

"The Qinglong Association captured his son, how could he possibly not come..."

"At the level of a Great Grandmaster, does he really think he can rescue Tong Hu from the hands of the Qinglong Association? That's not very likely, is it?"

"After all, the Qinglong Association has three Heavenly Great Grandmasters!"

"That's not certain, he is the Sect Master of the Tianding Sect."

...

The discussions surrounding him didn't affect Tong Wudi in the slightest. His eyes blazed with fury as a three-legged golden cauldron slowly surfaced behind him; that was his Martial Dao Spirit, cultivated on his divine platform.

An overwhelming surge of True Yuan burst from the three-legged cauldron, and his fists seemed to unleash two hundred-zhang long ferocious tigers; they shone with an exceptionally brilliant golden light that descended from the sky. In an instant, the night sky was illuminated for miles around, the violent wind swept through the trees, and the terrifying power struck directly towards the Qinglong Association and others on the platform.

Of course, the key target was Hou Yuxiao who had been most arrogant just moments before.

As the force of the fists neared his face, the huge mouths of the tigers suddenly vanished, transforming into two massive fists that looked set to smash down upon Hou Yuxiao's head.

In the nick of time, Yang Xin stepped forward, instantaneously positioning himself in front of Hou Yuxiao. Behind the mask, his eyes emitted an azure cold light. He raised both hands, clenched into fists, and collided fiercely with Tong Wudi's fists.

Boom...

The intense collision between the two sent shockwaves to the ground, creating a nearly ten-meter deep crater. Dust and smoke billowed into the air, and the earth for hundreds of meters around was affected.

Hou Yuxiao and the others behind him, taking advantage of the undissipated aftershock, swiftly retreated with Tong Hu and the six others. Among the thousands of onlookers, those with weaker strengths were even more terrified, immediately retreating hundreds of meters in all directions.

But without exception, everyone's gaze was fixed on the two combatants.

After a while, the dust and smoke at the center of the battle gradually dispersed. As everyone, including Hou Yuxiao, caught sight of the situation inside, their pupils constricted suddenly.

Tong Wudi maintained his punching stance, but Fang Longxiang, his opponent, had been pushed back a good two or three meters.

Fang Longxiang had been put at a disadvantage?

Realizing this, a chorus of astonished voices erupted.

"How can this be?"

"Isn't Fang Longxiang a Heavenly Great Grandmaster?"

"Tong Wudi is so strong!"

"Truly Divine Fist Iron Hand!"

...

Not just everyone else, even Hou Yuxiao's face showed disbelief at this moment.

Yang Xin is a seventh-grade demon, equivalent to a Heavenly Great Grandmaster; there could be no mistake.

Did that imply that Tong Wudi's strength was too overwhelming?

"Once we go all out, we'll reveal our demon identities."

Only when Lv Luo's voice entered his ears did Hou Yuxiao realize that Yang Xin and the eight others were relying on their masks to avoid being identified as demons by the crowd; although they were indeed demons, they could mimic human martial artists to a certain extent. If they fought with full strength, their true nature would certainly be exposed.

"Tong Wudi is very strong. Even if Yang Xin fights with all his might, the odds of victory are only around sixty to forty against him. If the battle continues, he will definitely be exposed!"

Hearing Lv Luo's words, Hou Yuxiao's expression immediately darkened.

Once Yang Xin exposed his demon identity, everyone present would undoubtedly join together to attack him. What would he do then?

Maiden Hong and the five great experts were possibly watching from the shadows.

He was openly associated with Maiden Hong, but secretly, he had already pledged loyalty to Moxuzi. If Yang Xin and the other seven demons revealed their true forms now, he would have no choice but to join the others in exterminating the demons to gain Moxuzi's trust.

But once he took action, even if he helped kill Yang Xin and the others, how would he explain it to Maiden Hong?

Although Hou Yuxiao believed that Maiden Hong would eventually meet her demise, the problem was that until that final moment arrived, his life was in her hands.

He had pledged loyalty to Moxuzi and had even sent Second Elder and Third Elder, using the Hou Clan's identity, to contact Lian Ningxue and Zhang Yuning. On one hand, he sought to seize control of Tongling; on the other, it was to give his family an additional option. But if he was forced to choose sides now, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

The five great experts were lurking in the shadows, waiting for Maiden Hong to appear, yet she was nowhere to be seen, leaving them to wonder what she was up to.

Although there were already quite a few people around, Hou Yuxiao knew that none of the real players of the day had shown themselves yet. Choosing sides too soon would mean he could not please either party later.

Yang Xin could not be exposed like this.

At least, not now!

While Hou Yuxiao was lost in thought, Tong Wudi made his move.

"A Heavenly Great Grandmaster with only this much strength, laughable!"

Clearly, the recent blow had bestowed Tong Wudi with great confidence. After a cold shout, his fists radiated golden light once more. The three-legged cauldron appeared and disappeared behind him as he moved with the speed of lightning, instantly hovering over Yang Xin's head.

His fists pounded down like a pestle, striking fiercely. Although one couldn't see Yang Xin's expressions behind his mask, his clumsy evasion alone revealed his inner state.

Watching the ground crater repeatedly under Tong Wudi's strikes, and Yang Xin's frequent, fruitless attempts to counter, Hou Yuxiao realized that if the fight continued this way, Yang Xin would be exposed soon. Without a word, he walked over to Song Yang to signal him to hand over Tong Hu.
