Chapter 258: Hou Clan's Leapfrog Development_3
During the latter years of the Wuzong era, when Great Jin deceived the Great Yu Dynasty and betrayed its promises, people across The World no longer revered oaths. However, at this moment, Hou Yuxiao's transparent demeanor and his promises, though not particularly tempting, were genuine enough to make everyone believe in him.
This time, accompanied by the other members of the Hou Clan, they too joined in speaking up, their emotions apparently boosted, their vitality roaring like thunder.
"Greetings, Family Head!"
Thirty-seven, plus the thirteen from their own family, the number of Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm in the Hou Clan suddenly swelled to fifty, and with Li Shiji, Bai Dongyu, and Nie Xinliu, that made fifty-three, counting also Li Sanyun, Nie Xinchuan, and Bai Yunfan who were three Dan Embracing Phase Martial Artists, it totaled fifty-six.
Fifty-six Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm—the number flashed in Hou Yuxiao's mind. He glanced back at Tongling Prefectural City to the east, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a surge of boldness in his heart.
Eight thousand warriors, three thousand soldiers, fifty-six Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm—this battle for Tongling had thus secured the Hou Clan an entry ticket...
Right now, only one condition was lacking!
"Li Sanyun, Bai Yunfan, Nie Xinchuan, the three of you work with Hou Yucheng, gather together immediately all martial artists from the four families above the five levels of body refinement for a preliminary formation of troops!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" The three responded hurriedly, bowing their heads in agreement.
"Hou Yuling, you lead Li Shiji, Bai Dongyu, Nie Xinchuan—all three of them—and quickly integrate all the remaining martial artists from the four families, temporarily assigning them to Wang Gong for command, to guard against chaos in all directions."
"Your subordinate obeys!"
"Hou Yujie, oversee the area and check for demons' attacks. Send people immediately to encircle and suppress them. If it can't be solved, notify the others; if the power is too strong, come directly to me!"
"Yes!"
Hou Yuxiao issued three commands in a row. Although everyone had their tasks, they didn't leave right away; instead, expressions of confusion and concern appeared on their faces.
"Family Head, is this assembly of forces meant for entering the city?"
Although Li Sanyun was the one who asked, Bai Yunfan and Nie Xinchuan also fixed their gazes on Hou Yuxiao, clearly sharing the same doubt.
They could all see that Hou Yuxiao was consolidating them at this critical juncture because he indeed had designs on Tongling.
The city was in utter chaos at the time, and if they could enter, whether to win people's hearts or fishing in troubled waters, it was an excellent opportunity.
Demons have indeed invaded the city, but if led by Hou Yuxiao, plus their more than fifty experts, entering the city would be difficult but not impossible.
But by doing so, the newly integrated forces would inevitably suffer their first round of damages!
"Six experts and the Blood Demon are still battling in the air, and demons are still wreaking havoc in the city. Entering now would be no different from seeking death. Rest assured, I won't rashly lead you in without full confidence. Taking control of Tongling isn't that simple!"
Upon hearing this, the group took another look at Hou Yuxiao. Remembering the strategic planning of their current Family Head, relieved expressions gradually appeared on their faces, and they each went down to complete their tasks.
As he watched everyone leave, Hou Yuxiao then sat down right where he was, surrounded by a few Hou Family Warriors, and began cultivating...
To compete with the Great Luo Sect, he had enough controlled forces and experts; only one condition was missing—himself.
Ding Buhai of the Great Luo Sect was no simple character!
With his current first Grandmaster Realm cultivation level, even with several martial arts techniques, he still had a significant gap compared to Ding Buhai.
Last-minute sharpening doesn't make a blade lack luster; moreover, he had the Divine Lotus...
"Second Realm Grandmaster, what will my Martial Dao Spirit be?"
A flash of excitement passed through Hou Yuxiao's eyes. He circulated his True Qi and slowly sank his mind and spirit into his dantian, beginning to attempt to break through to the Second Realm Grandmaster, Divine Communication Phase!
