Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

A fist-sized golden bead quietly hovered above Qingmiao City, instantly capturing everyone's attention. It then burst into a brilliant golden radiance, perfectly linking with the surrounding space. Looking up, it seemed like the heart of the sky, pulsating rhythmically.

The golden light suddenly exploded, releasing thousands of prohibition threads, resembling cracks in shattered glass. Quickly, they densely covered the skies above the entire Qingmiao City, encapsulating the whole city within.

"Thousands of golden threads, there must be a Fourth Order Mystic Realm Master setting up the array, the Taoist Ritual Array, and that person must undoubtedly be from the Eight Divisions of the Demon Sect, Garuda, Ying Changtian!" Hou Yucheng moved next to Hou Yuxiao, his expression grave.

Hou Yuxiao's gaze was somber. The array was graded by the number of prohibition threads, ten threads constituted the First Order, a hundred the Second, a thousand the Third, and ten thousand were the Fourth. The most famous Mystic Realm Master within the Rakshasa Holy Sect, from the Eight Divisions, was Garuda Ying Changtian. Hou Yucheng knew this, and of course, he was also well aware.

Old Fifth had said that the Rakshasa Holy Sect had brought six Broken Realm powerful beings. He never expected Ying Changtian to come as well since the Rakshasa Holy Sect was currently in a decisive battle with the Blood Spirit Demon Sect. It seemed unthinkable to leave as important a Fourth Order Mystic Realm Master as Ying Changtian behind in Bingzhou.

Pursuing Duanmu Hong, he arrived in Nanjiang.

Hou Yuxiao's face suddenly grew even more somber. To dispatch Ying Changtian to Nanjiang at such a critical moment highlighted the importance of repairing the Chi Li Heaven Barrier to the Rakshasa Holy Sect.

They must not succeed!

"Continue leading the troops to attack the city, regardless of what function this array holds, we must breach the city soon and find those from the Rakshasa Holy Sect."

"Yes, elder brother!"

Hou Yucheng, realizing the seriousness of the situation, turned quickly to the Red Flame Army who had surged up beside him, shouting loudly, "The city gate has been breached, all troops charge, push through the southern enemy troops in front of the city gate, take Qingmiao City, brothers, follow me in the charge!"

The Red Flame Army surged into the city gate like a red torrent, the frontline Nanjiang Defense Army simply could not withstand them, as the Red Flame Army far surpassed them in individual martial prowess and group cultivation techniques.

The overwhelming offensive of the Red Flame Army did not alleviate the heaviness in Hou Yuxiao's heart. His gaze was continuously fixed on the mid-air, accurately on the myriad prohibition golden threads that enveloped the entire Qingmiao City.

Since it was a barrier, it definitely had a function.

Ten years ago, the settlement barrier suppressed everyone's cultivation below the Gang Qi Realm, Lanruo Barrier was known as an illusionary array. What effect would the higher level Taoist Ritual Barrier have?

"Eh, my cultivation..."

"This, is my cultivation increasing?"

"What's going on?"

...

Suddenly, voices rose from the ranks of the Nanjiang soldiers, immediately attracting Hou Yuxiao's attention. He turned to look at the formation of the Nanjiang soldiers being attacked by the Red Flame Army, his pupils slightly narrowed.

The majority of the Nanjiang soldiers, who only had the Cultivation of Five or Six Layers of Body Openings, experienced furious growth in their vital energy under the glow of the golden prohibition lines. In just three breaths' time, their cultivation uniformly skyrocketed to the Peak of Open Body Ten Layers.

Enhancing cultivation, the Taoist Ritual Array could actually enhance cultivation...

"This array can enhance their cultivation, Second Elder, pull back quickly!"

Hou Yuxiao, shocked to his core, watching the swarming Nanjiang soldiers, immediately realized the grim situation and hurriedly ordered Hou Yucheng, who had already charged out, to swiftly consolidate his forces.

There were at least one point three million soldiers in the Nanjiang Defense Army within the city, while Hexi had just over a million. Originally relying on the cultivation of the Red Flame Army and Zhaoyang Army to make up for the discrepancy of two hundred thousand troops, the enhancement of the enemy's cultivation had now rendered this advantage non-existent.

Moreover, one point three million soldiers with Cultivation of Open Body Ten Layers, solely relying on the twenty-odd thousand soldiers practicing the Sacred Army Code in the Red Flame Army, definitely could not withstand them, let alone the lesser Zhaoyang Army and Hong Miao Army.

"Withdraw now, it's a certain defeat, elder brother!"

However, Hou Yucheng did not agree with Hou Yuxiao's opinion. He, fighting in the front, turned back and locked eyes with Hou Yuxiao across the distance. His tone was grave, yet it contained no trace of fear, only a thick resoluteness and determination.

Over half of the more than one million troops from Hexi had already charged into Qingmiao City, and the rest were also advancing from behind. If they were to turn and withdraw now, it would only cause more chaos. A single misstep, and it would be a complete rout, just like what happened in the Luo Mountain Valley with the Zimiao Army.

Hou Yuxiao suddenly came to a realization, his face showing a hint of fear. First nodding strongly at Hou Yucheng, then raising his head to look at Ying Changtian in mid-air, manipulating that golden bead, his expression turned chilly.

"Keep pushing with the army, with Red Flame Army leading the charge. Even if we're going to be defeated, it won't be so soon. I'll figure out how to deal with Ying Changtian first. As long as we can break the array, we can still win!"

After sending his message to Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuxiao, holding a long staff, suddenly flew into the air, charging directly at Ying Changtian. Behind him, the shadow of a thousand-yard Ape Demon Martial Spirit stealthily appeared, black energy swirling around the Canglong Staff, sweeping across like a dragon, aiming straight for Ying Changtian.

Bang...

In mid-air, before the staff could even reach Ying Changtian, it was intercepted by ten thousand golden prohibition threads. The entire Qingmiao City was instantly illuminated by the brilliantly glowing golden threads, and the chill in Hou Yuxiao's eyes grew even more intense under their illumination.

"Master of the Hou Family, breaking a Fourth Order array isn't that easy!"

Ying Changtian, in a white robe, appeared scholarly rather than a Demon Path expert, more like a knowledgeable Confucian Scholar. Watching Hou Yuxiao frowning within the array, he looked down and chuckled lightly, clearly very confident in his own array.
