Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"The more the Demon Sect behaves like this, the more it proves their impatience. It seems that Sword Leader Gu is not doing badly in Longguan Prefecture. Zhang Zhenwei is so eager to start the battle with us, it appears that he wants to relieve the pressure on Longguan Prefecture."

"The Mage's words are true; we mustn't fall for their ruse."

"How could the vile intentions of the Demon Army escape the Mage's discerning eye!"

"All we need to do is hold the Prefectural City, and wait for the Demon Sect to suffer a grand defeat in Long Guan. Those hundred thousand Demon Army will undoubtedly die, nothing but bones in a tomb, unworthy of our attention."

...

Upon recognizing the ruse of Zhang Zhenwei, those who were aware all echoed their agreement, and Master Wuxing's anger in his heart was considerably assuaged. He merely watched coldly as the Demon Army outside the city continued their clamor, paying them no mind.

Outside the city, among the Demon Army, Zhang Zhenwei gave a light cough, and Zhou Ting and Lin Yingtian beside him immediately signaled to the still clamoring men with a look, and the entire Demon Army suddenly fell quiet.

"Looks like these two old bald donkeys aren't fools, knowing not to leave the city!"

"The Zen Light Universally Illuminating Scriptures practiced by the Monastic Soldiers of Leiyin Temple originate from the same source as our Holy Church's Brahma Heavenly Garuda Sacred Army Code. Though not quite at the Holy Rank, they share the same ancestry and are not much different in strength. It's somewhat unexpected that Wuxing managed to restrain himself from taking action."

Zhang Zhenwei, hearing his subordinates' words, sneered, "I never expected to trick them out with just a few words. These bald donkeys have endured in Jizhou for over a thousand years, so they must be somewhat capable. Insulting them was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. After all, our Holy Church and they have some connection!"

Hou Yuxiao said nothing from the sidelines, his expression unchanged. Although the city's western gate was tall, his demeanor showed no fluctuation. Even the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers on the city wall, whose cultivation all exceeded Ten Layers of Body Openings and who were much stronger than the Hou Clan, now seemed to matter little in his eyes...

"Let's attack the city. I can hardly wait to see how these old bald donkeys will be dumbfounded once the city falls!"

With Zhang Zhenwei's words, the several dozen commanders surrounding him all became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their expressions invigorated as they galloped back toward their respective forces.

"Prepare to attack the city!"

"Take down the Prefectural City, kill all those smelly monks."

"Get ready for the siege!"

"Get ready for the siege!"

...

Dozens of orders were relayed to everyone's ears. The hundred thousand cavalry on horseback began to stir, their vigor gradually coalescing, their mood steadily rising. Their white robes fluttered without wind, and even the warhorses beneath them began to neigh one after another.

"Lin Yingtian leads the left flank in the charge, Zhou Ting leads the right flank in a surprise attack. Charge the city walls first, and drive those stinking baldies down."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

With a golden Eighteen-Foot Serpent Spear in hand, Lin Yingtian, and Zhou Ting with a cyan broadsword, both bowed their heads in acknowledgment on horseback. With a wave of their hands to the rear, they said nothing and spurred their horses towards the western gate.

The hundred thousand-strong army, already understanding their roles, quickly split into two groups. Nearly half of the forces on the left swiftly followed Lin Yingtian, while the right slowed down, revealing the crossbow arrows hidden in their sleeves. They continued to follow behind while aiming at the Monastic Soldiers on the city wall and shooting fiercely.

"Such reckless attacks, the Demon Army's audacity has come to this. Today, if we don't annihilate you, where will Leiyin Temple's dignity be? Monastic Soldiers, listen to my command, we must not let these blasphemous thieves of the Demon Path climb up the walls, kill them!"

Every move of the Demon Army below the city wall was in Master Wuxing's sight. As soon as the forces below made their move, although shocked, he immediately responded. The hundred thousand Monastic Soldiers, armed with Zen Staves and precept blades, also suddenly consolidated massive clouds of Gang Qi, firmly stationed atop the city wall, starting to meet the siege of the Demon Army.

After all, it was a siege. The warhorses of the Demon Sect's forces were simply unable to breach the iron western gates of the Prefectural City. Once at the base of the city wall, they had to climb from horseback. Though their cultivation meant that the walls weren't much of a barrier, it's worth noting that the Monastic Soldiers guarding the walls were no less strong than them.

Although the first group of soldiers who scaled the city walls were valiant, they were ultimately outnumbered and lacked reinforcements. Aside from the few who were quick and clever enough to escape successfully, most died under the Monastic Soldiers' siege. Only commanders at the Gang Qi Realm and even Grandmaster Realm could barely clear a battleground for the soldiers following behind them.

In truth, the main siege force, at least those scalling the walls, mainly depended on these high-cultivation commanders.

Lin Yingtian was, after all, a high-level expert at the Yuan Dan Realm with Divine Skills. His Serpent Spear whirled, creating a series of golden storms and in an instant, cleared a vacuum of several meters radius on the city wall.

Many quick-witted soldiers of the Demon Army seized the gaps he created, continuously squeezing up and thereafter huddled to launch fierce attacks, expanding the gap to provide more space for their fellow soldiers scaling the walls behind them.

However, as more and more martial artists of the Demon Sect at Gang Qi Realm and above joined the fight, the experts on the city side couldn't stay still. Led by Zen Master Yuan Kong and Ren Tianxing, numerous masters from Leiyin Temple and Guangling Prefecture leaped into the fray on the city wall, clashing with the high-level martial artists of the Demon Sect.

Only Masters Wuxing and Wu Yan still kept their gazes fixed on Zhang Zhenwei, who had yet to make a move outside the city. Observing the pitch-black Demon Blade at his waist, their expressions flickered with a hint of solemnity.

Nether Spring Demon Saber Zhang Zhenwei, ranked 37th on the Demon Head List, a peak Xuanyin Realm powerhouse of the Demon Path, was not just more advanced in cultivation, but also more renown than them, leaving no room for negligence.

If he chose not to act, then they too must remain still.
