Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

After securing over a hundred consecutive victories, the experts from the Demon Sect and Great Jin began to feel restless, and a Grandmaster Realm expert stepped forward. Hou Yucheng also somewhat wanted to know his own limits, so he challenged a Grandmaster Realm commander from Great Jin.

After the battle, Hou Yucheng actually managed an absolute counterattack and won!

Hou Yuxiao did not witness the sensational scene himself; he heard it from Hou Fei. The experts from the Demon Sect were all visibly exhilarated, while those from Great Jin were so furious that smoke practically billowed from their seven orifices—wishing they could gang up and flay Hou Yucheng's skin.

"Second brother, clever indeed!"

Having heard the account, Hou Yuxiao immediately exclaimed this thought in his heart.

First off, an expert from the Jin Army—this was simply a divine maneuver. The stationed armies in Hedong were divided into three factions belonging to Great Jin, the Demon Sect, and the Hou Clan, among which there was a hierarchy of disdain.

Great Jin, of course, looked down upon the Holy Church and the Hou Clan. Then came the Demon Sect, which looked down upon the Hou Clan. By choosing someone from Great Jin, Hou Yucheng's stance effectively placed the Hou Clan and the Demon Sect on the same side. Besides, the Hou Clan itself was a power from Yongzhou, governed under the Rakshasa Holy Sect; both were looked down upon. Now it was like a united front.

Then, with his Cultivation at the Dan Embracing Phase, he defeated Great Jin's Grandmaster Realm commander. This not only boosted the morale of the Hou Clan but also added glory to the Holy Church and Yongzhou, revitalizing the situation in one stroke.

"After that, whether it was the Mansion Army or the Brahman World Purifying Army, no one mocked the Hou Clan anymore, and the commanding experts of the Holy Church also entirely changed their attitude towards the Second Elder. They frequently addressed him as brother and often invited him for drinks. Whenever any battle took place outside Longguan Prefecture, they coordinated with the Second Elder, improving their relationship significantly!"

The subsequent words from Hou Fei also proved that things were developing just as he had anticipated.

However, Hou Yucheng's subsequent maneuvers made him want to curse out loud.

Having got on good terms with the experts of the Holy Church, Hou Yucheng had now thoroughly offended Great Jin. For him, defeating a Grandmaster Realm commander from the Jin Army with his mere Third Realm Gang Qi Dan Embracing Period Cultivation was an honor, but for Great Jin, it was a disgrace.

Great Jin has always prided itself as the leader of the Demon Path, the number one Holy Land of the world, not to mention that Hou Yucheng had defeated elites such as the Wolf Slaughter Guard and the Huben Guard. Grandmaster Realm experts from the Jin Army swarmed to challenge Hou Yucheng.

"Bullying the weak with your strength is no skill. If you dare, go challenge my big brother. He is with General Zhang in the Prefectural City. My big brother is also a Master Realm Martial Artist and is the Master of the Hou Clan. Defeating him would be much easier than defeating me. If you have the guts, go for it!"

Hou Yuxiao's reputation was far greater than Hou Yucheng's.

The Thousand-Faced Jade Gentleman, Hou Yuxiao, and Zhao Yang the Demon Scholar, Hou Yucheng—the Double Dragons of the Hou Family who made their appearance on the Demon Sect's New Star Ranking last year—are now known throughout the six states of the Demon Sect. Almost everyone who pays attention to the World's Nine Rankings knows about them; their fame had long reached Great Jin.

Yet, no matter how famous, isn't he just a Second Realm Grandmaster who's reached the Divine Communication Phase? Once experts from the Jin Army got together, they really did come in a group to challenge Hou Yuxiao...

The result goes without saying. Hou Yuxiao found it troublesome, but knowing that his behavior could seriously affect the Second Elder's standing in Longguan Prefecture, he sincerely entertained these visitors with a few exchanges.

Hou Yuxiao had been staying in the Prefectural City for several months by then. Most of the one hundred thousand of the Brahman Purifying World Army, led by Zhang Zhenwei, recognized him, and many of the Grandmaster Realm experts had a good relationship with him. Seeing the martial artists from Great Jin coming to challenge him, they intentionally held back, enjoying the spectacle.

Only after several losses did someone reveal that during the battle in the Prefectural City, Hou Yuxiao had personally slain Ding Buhai, a heaven-tier Great Grandmaster. This revelation caused the Jin Army experts to wilt completely.

Only then did they realize that they had been played by Hou Yucheng...

To be able to slay even a heaven-tier Great Grandmaster, then these people who came, being of the Second and Third Realms or even Great Grandmasters of the Fourth Realm, were they not just serving themselves up on a platter to Hou Yuxiao?

The experts from the Jin Army did not only retreat back to Longguan Prefecture in defeat but also widely spread the news of Hou Yuxiao slaying Ding Buhai...

Hou Yuxiao himself, being in the Prefectural City, did not yet realize the significance of this news spreading until mid-April, when the Fifth Brother Hou Yuduan brought the last troop rotation from the Hou Clan in person and told him face to face. Only then did he realize that something was amiss.
