Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Hou Yuxiao's tone was as domineering as his words. He seemed to have clarified some thoughts, suddenly unleashing his full aura, his brows sweeping across the audience. His words seemed not only directed at Shen Gufan but to everyone present that day.

His gaze was extremely aggressive. He did not even spare the four Yuan Dan Realm experts, including Wan Renjue.

Everyone felt a hint of displeasure rise in their hearts, including Wan Renjue. However, they also noticed that Hou Yuxiao had suddenly changed, precisely after Shen Gufan had made friendly gestures. Some clever individuals had already grasped the situation, a glint flashing in their eyes, while those who were confused remained puzzled.

Even Hou Yucheng and the other two were somewhat perplexed at this moment. They all turned their gaze toward Hou Yuduan who seemed to have understood the situation. Hou Yucheng asked in a volume loud enough for the four of them to hear, "Old Fifth, what's going on?"

"Shen Gufan dares to be so high-profile. There must have been some major change at the Yongdu Main Altar. We'll have to wait for more information. However, considering Shen Gufan just made a conciliatory gesture towards Big Brother, it's not unexpected that the Shen Clan is already plotting in Xingnan Prefecture."

The four men's faces were instantly filled with surprise. Hou Yucheng continued in a low voice, "Plotting Xingnan Prefecture? We should be enemies then. Why would he make friendly gestures towards Big Brother?"

Hou Yuling's expression brightened slightly, obviously having realized the situation. She lightly tugged at Hou Yucheng and replied, "Of Xingnan Prefecture's six counties, Tongling has already been drawn out by our Hou Clan to form Hexi Prefecture, leaving only five counties. Yan Sandong was just killed by me, and Yinling would likely fall into the hands of the Shen Clan. This gives the Shen Clan control over Jinling, Yinling, and Yunxiang three counties, enough to contend with Xiong Yun Gang..."

At this point, Hou Yucheng understood!

Yinling bordered Tongling, and if the Shen Clan were hostile towards the Hou Clan, when they contested with Xiong Yun Gang in the west over Xingnan Prefecture, the Hou Clan in the east would certainly not sit idly by, thus facing opposition on both fronts.

"So, Big Brother announcing our stance to both factions means that Hou Clan will not participate in their conflict over Xingnan Prefecture. We neither align with Xiong Yun Gang nor flirt with Shen Clan, letting them fight each other in Xingnan Prefecture to death. We will sit safely, fishing, and when they both suffer, we will then..."

Hou Yuduan slightly shook his head, not contradicting Hou Yucheng. Big Brother most definitely meant this, but it was not all. What exactly had happened at the Holy Church Headquarters was still unknown. The Hou Clan stretching its hand toward Xingnan Prefecture so early and causing a conflict with the Shen Clan and Xiong Yun Gang was not the main concern.

If the crime of rebellion were to be confirmed, and the Holy Church regained its strength...

Hou Yuduan knew, considering Big Brother's situation and the family's current strength, even if a heaven-level power attacked, they couldn't be entirely sure of victory. What they needed to be wary of was only the Holy Land!

...…

"Master of Hou Family, thinking you can stay out of this affair is not so simple. You've split off Tongling from my Sanling Region without my consent, and I have not yet settled this account with you. Just now, considering I am much senior to you, I intentionally held back. Do you really think Mr. Shen can't kill you?"

"Nonsense!"

After Shen Gufan finished his confident speech, all he received in response was a cold shout from Hou Yuxiao, along with a sword Qi rainbow that split the sky, sweeping a torrential sea of blood.

Although he did not bring out the Canglong Staff, this single sword action dazzled the heavens and earth, making everyone present tremble in awe.
