Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Two possibilities, neither of which are particularly optimistic for that young man!

He is at the Yuan Dan First Realm, surpassing the other by two major levels of cultivation—that would mean a capability equivalent to the Broken Realm. However, judging from the light laughter coming from the other, the person in question must not be very old, which means it's likely the second possibility: the other is also a Mystic Realm Master, and furthermore, a master with a higher level of achievement than him!

Sure enough, one garbed in snow-white, and the other draped in dark red, two figures suddenly stood in mid-air. When the lad saw that both hands of the figure in white also produced two rays of Jin Guang, his expression instantly darkened. Being a Mystic Realm Master himself, he naturally understood that it was Mysterious Gold used for etching the forbidden gold lines.

What happened next, however, left the youth completely dumbstruck.

He watched as the person in white repeatedly traced through the air hundreds of times; not only was it the exact number of times he had done, but those gold lines also followed the same trajectory as the ones he used to set up the Illusion Array.

As the person in white dispersed the forbidden gold lines in all directions, the second-tier Illusion Array he had just set up disintegrated in an instant. The ten thousand cavalry, fiery like a sea of flames, along with the following hundred thousand troops, surged forward like a tidal wave.

"Charge!!!"

"The Shen Clan colluding with outsiders, recklessly starting a war, seeking to destroy Xiong Yun Gang with an intent to create chaos in Xiayuan Dao. Today, we shall execute these rogues, Xiayuan Dao, should be ruled by us!"

"Brothers of Xiong Yun Gang, the Hou Clan of Hexi, has come to your aid!"

"How can we let the Shen Clan's wolf ambitions prevail? Brothers, follow me to slay the enemy."

"To break the enemy and storm the city, now's the time. Fourth Master has promised, whoever is first to enter the city, a reward of a hundred thousand silver coins. The first battalion to break through will get an additional 10% quota in the next Red Flame Army selection!"

......

Innumerable roars, combined with the ten thousand cavalry like a sea of flames and the hundred thousand troops like a roaring tsunami, swept towards the city gates in an overwhelming flood, swamping the last ranks of the Shen Clan's forces almost in an instant.

The two armies locked in combat at the gates of the city, at this very moment, underwent a stark transformation in spirit and momentum. The initially aggressive Shen Clan's forces, despite still holding an advantage, displayed panic-stricken faces;

On the other hand, the retreating Xiong Yun Gang defending army now had all eyes cast upon the surging troops at the rear. Though still bleeding from wounds, or even fatally injured, their expressions gradually turned to exhilaration, as they faced the entangled Shen Clan forces, their morale steadily rising.

Victory or defeat can be decided in just an instant!

There were only about two hundred thousand soldiers at the city gate to begin with. The brutality of siege battles far exceeds normal imagination. Within just under three hours, at least tens of thousands had already died or been injured. The newly-arrived hundred thousand from the Hou Clan undoubtedly had an influence that could sway the battle, especially with the Shen Clan having yet to break through the gates!

The Hou Clan's ten thousand Red Armor cavalry swept through like a vast inferno; nothing survived in their path. The warhorses alone were the equivalent of martial artists at the five levels of body refinement. Merely by trampling, they had killed at least ten thousand men.

Not to mention the Red Flame Army mounted on these horses; they are the elite of the Hou Clan, with the lowest being at the Ten Layers of Body Openings, and among them, quite a few were Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm.

In just one charge that lasted barely over three hundred breaths, by the time the ten thousand Red Flame cavalry reached the city gates, the Shen Clan's forces had already lost at least ten thousand men. Some who were lucky enough to avoid death quickly met a second round of slaughter from the hundred thousand Black Armored Army that followed.

"How did Hexi's forces get here? How is this possible? How is it possible?"

"Why was there no message from Chi Shui County?"

"Everyone, charge into the city! Don't panic; there's still a chance once we're inside!"

Shen Feitian's face had gone completely pale, while Nie Cheng and Zhang Yu were slightly stronger, still commanding their forces to push into the Prefectural City, albeit with very limited effectiveness.

"Lay down your weapons, and you can live!"

A slightly effeminate and sharp voice rose, causing most of the Shen Clan's troops to look up towards the dark red figure in mid-air. Seeing the other's longsword stained blood-red, a chill went down their spines, and some, of lesser courage, immediately threw down their weapons.

Of course, these were just a few; most soldiers still obeyed the commands of Nie Cheng and Zhang Yu, continuing to fight under the city gates, desperately trying to storm into the city.

......

"Mr. Hou pays his respects to Master Buyu! May I ask who this Mystic Realm Master is?"

The youth wearing a hat, still looking shocked as if he had experienced something tremendous, had not noticed that his two fellow disciples had come over. It wasn't until Hou Yuduan, the man who had just broken his Illusion Array, asked the question that he recovered, his expression becoming extremely solemn as he looked at Hou Yuduan before him.

The robust figure on the right side, although wearing a hat, was immediately recognized by Hou Yuduan as Buyu Monk from Leiyin Temple. In fact, three years prior, on the eve of the demon chaos in Tongling, he had been deliberately sent by Ding Dian to investigate the demon situation in the wilderness and had been saved by Monk Buyu. If one didn't consider Leiyin Temple, his impression of Buyu was actually quite favorable.

However, what he was even more curious about now was the young man standing between Buyu and the other man.

"This humble monk is Buyan," the young man said, hands clasped together and tone returning to calm as he spoke. Following his lead, the man on the left also performed a Buddhist salute and said, "This humble monk is Buzheng."

Buyan, Buyu, Buzheng, along with Buyu and Buyi, all disciples of Zen Master Yuan Kong.

Hou Yuduan courteously greeted the three men with a nod. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice became serious with a hint of inquiry as he spoke.

"May I ask why the three esteemed monks are intervening in the matters of Xiayuan Dao?"
