Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 633: 288, Turmoil within the Holy Church_2



"Left Protector, the hour has arrived. Since Zhan Taiqing has not appeared, let's not drag this out any longer. Quickly announce the start of the Rakshasa Festival!"

Among the group of people on the left, a middle-aged man clad in black armor and wielding a long spear addressed Huangfu Xing.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xing glanced sideways at the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with a thick mix of disdain and contempt, not affording him any face.

"You opportunistic lowlife, is it your place to speak here?"

The middle-aged man's face stiffened, and his expression darkened. Despite taking several deep breaths, his tone still carried a bout of indignation, "Huangfu Xing, you said to wait for Zhan Taiqing, so we waited with you for Zhan Taiqing, but he didn't arrive. You've forcibly postponed the Rakshasa Festival for three months, and we've waited another three months with you. Zhan Taiqing still hasn't come, what exactly do you want? Does the Rakshasa Holy Sect belong to us, or does it belong solely to the Zhantai Family? Could it be that without Zhan Taiqing, the Rakshasa Festival simply can't begin?"

"General Han is right. The Rakshasa Festival has been delayed for three months because of Zhan Taiqing, which has already set a precedent, showing great disrespect to the divine. We can't drag this out any longer. With the Late You Hour upon us, we must begin immediately!"

"The Rakshasa Holy Sect doesn't belong to just the Zhantai Family."

"The festival must start immediately."

"We second that!"

...

After all, being one of the three Divine Generals of the Holy Church, once Han Tianfeng spoke up, a host of respondents emerged, but those who dared to speak were mostly the more powerful individuals among the five to six hundred people standing behind him.

Huangfu Xing's expression remained unchanged upon hearing these voices, still full of disdain and contempt. Once the noise from the other side had subsided, he sneered sarcastically, "A bunch of rebels and traitors clamoring to start the festival, it's truly laughable. I will lay it out right here: until the successor Hierarch arrives, the festival really won't be starting. If you're dissatisfied, feel free to start it yourselves!"

General Han was taken aback, unable to believe that Huangfu Xing would drop all pretenses and outright say that without Zhan Taiqing, the festival would not start. After pondering for a while, he couldn't find the words to retort.

The Rakshasa Festival at Headquarters, held once every five years, is not merely a simple festival. The most important part, the divine blessing segment, can enhance one's cultivation, and with an epiphany, one may even break through an entire realm. At worst, it could substitute for several years of arduous cultivation.

To initiate the Rakshasa Festival, the Sect Hierarch, two protectors, and the three Divine Generals, including himself, must jointly channel their energy to light the divine decree, it is impossible to proceed missing one. When Huangfu Xing says they can start it themselves if they're not satisfied, it's clear that he is provoking them.

"General Han, your master hasn't even uttered a word, so what's the rush for a mere underling? It's good to display loyalty, but don't be too fierce in the charge, you should know the principle of moderation!"

"Of course, the Holy Church is not just for the Zhantai Family, but one should not be ungrateful. When the elder Church Leader took our Brahman Sect and departed, building up Yongzhou through blood, sweat, and tears shouldn't just be taken over by outsiders. Before the Elder Church Leader left, the Hierarch personally promised to appoint the young lady as the successor Hierarch. A hundred years ago, he took her Saintess title and gave it to his daughter, and we said nothing.

Now, are they even intending to snatch away the position of successor Hierarch? Sikong Xingzhou has no shame left, nor do you?

The ones speaking now were the two individuals standing to the left and right of Huangfu Xing, also clad in armor with a general's demeanor and emitting an aura of intense bloodlust. In terms of presence, not only the high-level experts present, but even Huangfu Xing was not on par with these two.

In the entire congregation, only General Han's momentum could compare to these two.

The three Divine Generals of the Holy Church, Yue Qianhan, Tong Wudi, and Han Tianfeng, were not only Sub-Saint level peak powerhouses, but they also commanded the Rakshasa Holy Sect's most elite army of three million from Black Cloud Camp. In the entire Church, besides the Hierarch and the two protectors, these three held the highest positions.

If examining cultivation alone, the two protectors might not match these three, but given how Yue Qianhan and Tong Wudi stood behind him is a clear indication that their statuses were not as high as his.

When these two spoke up, they obviously had more clout than Huangfu Xing, and General Han's expression immediately showed wariness. Of course, he would not answer whether he needed face or not, but avoiding the main issue, he sighed, "For over two hundred years since Sikong Sect Leader ascended, our Holy Church has flourished, as evident to all. Furthermore, he is recognized by all Holy Lands as the foremost in The World, deterring villains from all directions with his remarkable contributions. His actions are selflessly devoted to the betterment of our Church. Why must you be so petty?

General Han's face showed a tinge of sorrow, revealing his genuine thoughts, as if trying to persuade Huangfu Xing and the others, his tone becoming gentle, "Left Protector, Brother Yue, Brother Tong, in these troubled times, our Holy Church is already lagging behind other Holy Lands. Another internal conflict would invite foreign enemies to meddle, putting us at risk of collapse any moment. The three of you are loyal to the Elder Church Leader and wouldn't want to see our Church's legacy crumble, would you?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Huangfu Xing and the other two darkened.

"The Hierarch's strength is well known to the three of you. The Elder Church Leader's old guard is numerous but doesn't guarantee victory; otherwise, you wouldn't have brought these people here. Why risk toppling the Church for the sake of one Zhan Taiqing? With the Hierarch's unrivaled strength, if we unite, our Church's magnificent ambitions will surely be realized soon!"
