Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

The crowd was stunned by these words, having never imagined that Zhan Taiqing, who was currently entangled in battle with Maiden Hong, still had the leisure to turn her head and mock Master Yuan Kong.

Moreover, since the beginning, Master Fanyin, who always seemed so amicable and calm, had now spoken with such piercing sharpness, surprising them even further.

As the foremost great power of heaven and a Quasi-Holy Land yearning to become a Holy Land, Leiyin Temple's ambition was hardly a secret in The World, and their old grudge with the Brahman Sect was an ugly matter they preferred not to mention. Zhan Taiqing's blunt exposition of this left nothing to the imagination regarding Master Yuan Kong's mood.

As expected, upon hearing these words, Master Yuan Kong's complexion turned ashen and his right hand gripping the Zen Staff shook violently several times before calming down, but his gaze towards Master Fanyin became even more sinister.

"This old baldy's Qi nurturing skills are quite impressive!"

Having sensed that Master Yuan Kong's aura was gradually stabilizing behind her, Zhan Taiqing thought to herself with a slight hint of disappointment.

As Maiden Hong's onslaught grew stronger, she realized that she would definitely not be able to defeat her opponent alone. The reluctance of the five below to truly exert themselves only intensified her sense of urgency.

Unable to provoke Yuan Kong successfully, Zhan Taiqing turned her gaze towards the other four, continuing to fend off Maiden Hong while speaking again.

"Moxuzi, Lian Ningxue, Zhang Yuning, Yuan Fa, if you don't put forth your real strength, don't blame me, your Master, for abandoning the Blood Demon completely!"

The five below all showed subtle changes in their expressions upon hearing Zhan Taiqing's words.

Moxuzi noticed the change in the others' expressions but remained still, especially noting the calm and peaceful look on Master Yuan Kong's face. He couldn't help but sneer secretly.

He knew what game the four were playing!

Maiden Hong may be a demon with strange and strong abilities, but the Jianghu's Righteous Path was all about slaying demons and exterminating evil.

Not to mention that their own cultivation techniques had a natural suppressive effect on demons, they had countless means at their disposal in combating demons.

Lian Ningxue's Clear Sky Sun Chart, Zhang Yuning's Peaceful Heaven Sword, Master Yuan Kong's Golden Light Ming Wang Staff, Master Yuan Fa's Snow Mountain Jade Buddha Decision, and even his own Vast Righteous Qi, had yet to be deployed.

In essence, all five of them, including himself, were waiting for Zhan Taiqing to be almost dealt with by Maiden Hong, or even better, to be killed by her, before they would take action to clean up.

But was Zhan Taiqing really that naive?

After all, she was a renowned Enchantress of the Demon Path. Their intentions could hardly escape her perception.

"The demonic power of this Blood Demon has not yet reached the Unblemished Realm, which means her injuries must not have fully recovered. My Moonlight Bodhisattva Mantra has already suppressed thirty percent of her Blood Sea. If you all act with full force now, we still have the chance to win. But if you keep dawdling like this, don't blame me for truly washing my hands off this matter!"

A demon, once graded, begins to show signs of demonic power, and the so-called Unblemished Realm represents a level of demonic power that ordinary methods cannot break—a peak of the fifth rank that only the strongest demons possess. Having faced Maiden Hong for so long, all five were well-informed individuals; they understood the implications of Zhan Taiqing's statement.

Seeing the five still hesitating, Zhan Taiqing first scoffed, then turned her gaze towards Zhang Yuning, saying: "Doesn't the Monster Hunting Bureau take it upon itself to eradicate all demons in the world and protect the common people? Once the Blood Demon recovers, the souls of Tongling County may still be spared, but if she returns to the third rank of her karmic position, then it will be a disaster for all living beings!"

Zhang Yuning's face turned a sullen shade of steel, the Peaceful Heaven Sword in his hand slightly trembling. A flash of humiliation crossed his face; Zhan Taiqing's words struck a nerve too great for him to ignore.

"I don't need a demoness like you to teach me!"

Zhang Yuning bellowed angrily, and the Peaceful Heaven Sword suddenly blazed with light, cleaving the blood hands that blocked his path. His body soared, leaping above the Blood Sea, with intense Sword Qi gathering on his sword. Essence from the three flowers atop his head flowed continuously into the sword. In an instant, the Longsword became one with his body, transforming into a beam of sword light that shot towards the Blood Demon.

The Sword Qi was about thirty feet wide and five hundred feet long, casting a silver reflection in the torrential Blood Sea below, its speed reaching an extreme.

Maiden Hong waved her hand indifferently, and waves rose from the Blood Sea to block the Sword Qi, but no matter how strong the waves were, the moment they touched the Sword Qi, they evaporated instantly as if meeting their natural predator, not only failing to stop it but seemingly enhancing the Sword Qi's power.

"Demon-Slaying Celestial Sword, stronger against demons, sharper against evil; without Unblemished magical power, dreaming to block my sword is utterly delusional!"

From within the Sword Qi, Zhang Yuning's voice came with thick confidence, as after all, slaying demons and vanquishing evil were both his specialty and passion.

At this moment, he truly embodied the air of a sixth-rank Demon-Exterminating Master.

"Everyone, hold nothing back. If we anger Master Fanyin and she truly gives up on us, we may stir even more trouble. It's best to strike now and put an end to the Blood Demon."

With Zhang Yuning taking action, Lian Ningxue, unwilling to be outdone, let out a shout, and the Vast Righteous Qi from her Eighth Orifice surged out. After flourishing her writing brush in the air for a dozen breaths, a magnificent landscape painting vividly came into being.

In the painting, a round sun hung high in the sky, distant mountains layered upon each other, peaks clustering like a gathering of giants; nearby, willows swayed gently, a pond flowed quietly. The Clear Sky vividly captured within the scene, although just an ordinary landscape painting, the Vast Righteous Qi emanating from it caused Maiden Hong's Blood Sea beneath her feet to recede by more than thirty percent...
