Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Hou Yuxiao leaped up from the ground, a shadow of darkness flashing in his eyes.

In front of the Qing-colored grinding plate, a white-haired elder in white robes stood tall and proud, holding a spear about three meters long.

He had been to Tianling County once and was familiar with the information about the Mountain Sword Sect.

Apart from Guixin Sword Tian Linong, a Dan Embracing Phase master listed on the Tiger List, the Mountain Sword Sect had four elders in the Gang Qi Realm; the one with the highest cultivation was Elder Lu Fangweng, at the Qi Gathering Second Realm, Collecting Evil Phase, on par with Cheng Yue!

Why think of Cheng Yue? A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Hou Yuxiao's mouth, completely ignoring Lu Fangweng who was in front of him. He turned his head and hollered towards the walls of the county government.

"I beg Magistrate Cheng to come quickly to help me block this fiend, otherwise, if the barrier is not activated, Zhaoyang will be in danger!"

Fu Ling had said to let Cheng Yue assist him, and a cold light flashed in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. He intentionally dragged out explaining the barrier to Hou Yucheng and the others for so long without good reason.

Across the county government's wall, a dark shadow dashed over. Who else could it be but Cheng Yue, who had been following Hou Yuxiao all this time?

Cheng Yue's black clothes were stained with much fresh blood, all from his recent confrontation with Guixin Sword Tian Linong. His expression at the moment was extremely ugly, his fists under his sleeves almost clenched hard enough to draw blood, his eyes shaking with fury as he stared at Hou Yuxiao.

Hou Yuxiao's intentions to play him were all too clear, and he did not even bother to hide it. When he just told him to come out and block Lu Fangweng, he put on an innocent face.

"You little bastard... little bastard... I… I..."

Cheng Yue's body shook violently three times; he growled in a low voice, then took out a brown elixir and swallowed it, recovering a significant amount of his Gangsha instantly.

His face still flushed with anger, he looked up and with a powerful leap, his Fist Gang shot forth like a sharp sword, lunging towards the main hall of the county government.

"Hou Yuxiao, if you dare to delay any longer, refuse to activate the barrier, and eventually lead to the fall of Zhaoyang, there's no need for the Holy Church. I, the Magistrate, will personally lead a raid to flatten your Hou Family, exterminate every single one of the Hou Clan, without leaving a single survivor!"

Hou Yuxiao, standing to one side, saw a cold light grow in his eyes upon hearing Cheng Yue's words of rage. He watched Cheng Yue and Lu Fangweng entangled in battle, not immediately activating the barrier.

Not only did Hou Yuxiao hear Cheng Yue's words; Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, and Hou Yu Jie heard the "exterminate every single one of the Hou Clan" and their eyes filled with a cold glint, their hands reaching for their weapons.

Hou Yucheng's expression was exceptionally sinister, and he couldn't help but walk up to Hou Yuxiao and whispered, "Big brother, shall we join forces and take him down?"

Hou Yuxiao turned to glance at Shengxin Residence beside the county government, then shook his head. Looking at Cheng Yue with an eerily calm expression, he spoke in a volume only the four of them could hear, "Don't rush, this fool won't be jumping around for much longer..."

As Lu Fangweng battled with Cheng Yue, his peripheral vision was always scanning Hou Yuxiao's side. The cunning old man could see the situation between the two at a glance and knew that Hou Yuxiao was using him as a tool for murder, but since Cheng Yue took the initiative to approach, he had no choice but to engage.

Though Cheng Yue had swallowed healing pills, one must remember that his injuries from the previous fight with Tian Linong were not light. Now he faced Lu Fangweng, who had a comparable level of cultivation.

Lu Fangweng, at his age only in the Gathering Evil Phase, naturally couldn't compare with Cheng Yue. However, his mastery over the spear was evidently superior, and knowing that someone as young as Cheng Yue had equal cultivation, envy burned in his heart. He ruthlessly targeted Cheng Yue's wounds with each strike. In fewer than a hundred moves, he had forced Cheng Yue into a desperate flight.

"Ah... ah... this bastard, still standing there!"

As Cheng Yue fled in defeat, he saw Hou Yuxiao and the others standing idly by, doing nothing, and even smiling coldly as he was pursued by Lu Fangweng, his anger boiling over.

"I'll make you bastards stand there and watch!"

Cheng Yue's voice seemed to squeeze through his teeth. As Lu Fangweng's long spear came at him, he leaped over it and ran towards where Hou Yuxiao and the others were standing.

You enjoy watching, don't you? You don't want to open the barrier, do you? Well, I'll lead Lu Fangweng right to you, so you can have your fill of watching...

Little did he know, Hou Yuxiao had long seen through his intentions. As Cheng Yue approached, Gang Qi immediately infused into the County Magistrate's Seal, and the barrier's light instantly burst forth in a bright flare.

"Cheng Sizheng, the barrier's about to open, we can't let Lu Fangweng get through, otherwise the barrier will be destroyed!"

Cheng Yue's expression stiffened as he was less than five meters away from Hou Yuxiao, his body suddenly swung back, blocking Lu Fangweng who tried to rush to the front of Hou Yuxiao.

However, the moment he made the move to block Lu Fangweng, Hou Yuxiao behind him halted the flow of his Gang Qi and feigned dizziness.

"Ah... I've just broken through to the Coagulate Gang phase, but my Gang Qi can't sustain the aftermath; I'm afraid I must trouble Cheng Sizheng to hold off a bit longer!"

Pfft...

Cheng Yue, infuriated, felt a mouthful of dark blood surge up from his throat, and only by clenching his teeth did he prevent the blood from spraying out; if Lu Fangweng weren't already in front of him at this moment, he would have turned around and cut down Hou Yuxiao without hesitation.

Even if the Holy Maiden were to punish him, he would not hesitate!

Hou Yuxiao raised his head, feigning sickness, and watched Cheng Yue tangle with Lu Fangweng once more, his body being pierced by two more bloody holes, and he chuckled softly, "I won't rest until I've played you to death, you damn cur!"

Hou Yujie and the others snickered behind him, seeing Hou Yuxiao toy with Cheng Yue like this, they felt a lot of relief in their hearts.

"Big brother, someone's coming!"

Hou Yujie suddenly called out a warning, causing Hou Yuxiao's complexion to change. He turned to see three white figures rushing towards the county government, and then back to Cheng Yue who had not yet fallen, a hint of regret flashed across his face.

However, noticing that the injuries on Cheng Yue's body were significantly worse than they were at the East City Gate, his heart was still quite satisfied.

"Enough fun, any further and someone might actually get killed!"

Hou Yuxiao muttered to himself, no longer dragging his feet. Before the three white figures outside could enter, he concentrated a point of Gang Qi on his body, all of which he channeled into the County Magistrate's Seal.

Suddenly, a burst of Fan yin abruptly rose above Zhaoyang City, numerous mysterious lines of light intertwined in the sky, gradually enveloping more than a dozen miles of Zhaoyang West City within it.

"Rakshasa Gathering Barrier, open!"

East City.

Tian Linong, who had yet to determine a victor in his fight with Fu Ling, saw the barrier unfolding and his face turned exceedingly ugly; his Longsword also inevitably hesitated for a moment.

"Distracted while fighting me? You're courting death!"

On the contrary, Fu Ling felt a lot more at ease seeing the barrier unfold. Her palms, like the venomous fangs of a Spirit Snake, swiftly struck Tian Linong several times, causing his body-protecting Dan Qi to disperse repeatedly.

Inside the county government

As the barrier unfolded, Lu Fangweng found his Longsword Gangsha vanishing in an instant, and simultaneously, Cheng Yue's Shenzhao Gang Qi also dissipated in a blink, lessening the intensity of their ongoing fight considerably.

Those three white figures from outside finally rushed in, but the moment the barrier unfolded, they found their Cultivation, which plummeted directly from the Gang Qi Realm to the Ten Layers of Body Openings, leaving their expressions startled with a trace of fear emerging in their hearts.

"The three of you must be Elders from the Mountain Sword Sect, arriving at such an opportune time!"

Hou Yuxiao's voice carried a hint of amusement, as he stood beside the Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Third Mother, whose expressions were even more colorful...

"All at the Ten Layers of Body-Opening cultivation, things are about to get interesting in the city!"
