Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 148: 111, The mountain rain is about to come, the wind fills the tower

```

With the old system of the Great Yu Dynasty in place, although Wanyang County has a far greater population than Tongling County, the size of the two is the same, both spanning fifty miles.

Although the size is the same, the city layouts are completely different.

Unlike the Rakshasa Holy Sect, which has the Yamen and Prison Admin Department, the Wanjian Holy Sect only established one institution, the Sword Control Bureau, to govern the entire state and monitor illegal activities everywhere.

Heads of the local Sword Control Bureaus all have a title, called Sword Executor.

The Sword Executors at prefecture, city, county, and district levels issue gold, silver, copper, and iron tokens respectively, acting on behalf of the Wanjian Holy Sect to exercise control and keep watch over local governance, punishing unlawful acts with severity.

Thus, no matter what city it is within the bounds of Xuzhou, the most important place will always be the residence of the Sword Control Bureau, and Wanyang County is no exception.

The Wanyang County Sword Control Bureau is located in the very center of the city, and right in front of its gate, there's a silver giant sword half-buried in the ground, revealing only half of its blade that stands over fifteen meters tall, signifying its solemnity and gravity.

An old and a middle-aged man, both with thick eyebrows and square faces looking somewhat similar, wearing brocade clothes, walk out of the residence of the Sword Control Bureau.

Despite their imposing figures, what's most striking are their fists - each a full size larger than an ordinary person's, evidently masters of profound fisticuffs.

"Please take care on your journey," said the guard.

"Farewell to the Sect Master, Young Sect Master!"

...

The gate guards all bowed and saluted upon seeing the two, uttering words of slow travel and respectful farewells.

The two paid no heed to the guards, instead walking toward the northern part of the city. After about a mile from the Sword Control Bureau residence, the middle-aged man, who seemed under forty, was about to speak excitedly.

The elder, having noticed his excitement already, smiled and spoke before him.

"So, are you tempted?"

"That's the territory of Tongling County we're talking about. Once we take it over, our Tianding Sect will take the credit. Not only would we rule Tongling, but the Holy Sect would also bestow upon us the Heavenly Barrier Precious Pill. If dad can break through the Heavenly Gate Acupoint and become a heavenly grandmaster,

with the resources of two counties, breaking through the Three Realms of Yuan Dan is also within reach. Once dad breaks through, Tianding Sect will ascend to first-class status, and by then, we can sit on an equal footing with the Guangling Liu Family!"

There was excitement in the man's voice, and a glint of ambition flickered in his pupils when he mentioned being on par with the Guangling Liu Family.

If Hou Yuxiao were here, he would instantly recognize the middle-aged man as Tong Hu, the God Fist Master who appeared in Zhaoyang last year, and the elder beside him was none other than his father, dubbed Divine Fist Iron Hand, the Sect Master of the Tianding Sect, Tong Wudi.

Although Tong Wudi had white hair, there was a piercing sharpness in his eyes. His robust stature was even larger than Tong Hu's, adorned with a pair of black boxing gloves, emanating a deep and oceanic aura.

Seeing his son's excited face, Tong Wudi was obviously much calmer, slightly shaking his head as he said, "Have you thought about what we would do if we can't take down Tongling after mobilizing our whole sect?"

Tong Hu was startled and replied in haste, "Impossible, hasn't the Sword Executor Lu said that no one in Tongling County can deal with that Blood Demon? With the experts from the Holy Sect and the academy, all we have to contend with is the Great Luo Sect. Even if we include Qijue Gate, Medicine Dust Sect, and the Hou Clan, those three lesser forces, our Tianding Sect is more than enough to take down Tongling, right?"

"Naive. No one in Tongling County can deal with the Blood Demon, but what about Xingnan Prefecture? Even if the experts from Xingnan cannot handle it, what about the Rakshasa Holy Sect?

If the Holy Sect sends grandmasters from the Yongzhou Main Altar to suppress the Blood Demon, they can claim they're slaying demons and eradicating evil. But if our entire sect makes a move against Tongling without authorization, what excuse will we have then?"

Tong Hu's complexion changed at once. If that were indeed the case, they would be the culprits triggering a major conflict between the two states. Although the Tianding Sect could do as it pleased in Wanyang County, if the Rakshasa Holy Sect decided to take action against them, it would be as easy as lifting a finger.

"Does that mean Lu, the Sword Executor, is deliberately using us as pawns, and even if we conquer Tongling County, it won't be handed over to us, and if we fail, we'll be the ones taking the fall?" Having thought it through, Tong Hu's excitement quickly gave way to sobriety.

Tong Wudi shook his head and sneered, "What is Lu Guanqing? Just a Copper Command Sword Envoy, thinking he could use my Tianding Sect as his pawn. He's hardly qualified!"

Even though Lu Guanqing is the Sword Executor of Wanyang County, with only the Cultivation of the Master Third Realm, he was no match for Tong Wudi, the unrivaled top expert of Wanyang County. Realizing his slip, Tong Hu nodded in agreement.

"Of course, the Holy Sect holds sway over Xuzhou, and a mere Tongling County wouldn't concern them. Their goal is to strike at the Rakshasa Holy Sect. If we genuinely help and take down Tongling, giving it to us wouldn't be an issue to them.

What worries me now is that Blood Demon itself!"

Tong Hu instantly showed a puzzled look.

"That Blood Demon has survived since the late Wuzong period, and at its peak, its power is comparable to a giant at the peak of the Yin Yang Holy Realm. It's certainly not an easy foe to deal with.

With Rakshasa facing infiltration from Great Jin to the north and disturbances from the Saint Heir of the Blood Spirit Holy Sect to the west, they truly are in a tight spot, and sending Saint Realm experts is not feasible.

The Holy Sect and the academy think they've seen through this vulnerability, using the revival of the Blood Demon to throw Tongling into chaos, waiting for the opportunity to smash through Yongzhou, aiming to make the Rakshasa Holy Sect the first of the Holy Lands to lose territory.

But up until now, not a single expert from the academy or the Holy Sect has shown up. If this backfires, it's not just Tongling that will be in trouble; Xingnan and Guangling could both be impacted by it!"

Tong Hu's brows furrowed, and he said in a low voice, "Aren't Gu Chenfeng and Tian Fazheng always present? They personally planned this whole Blood Demon incident..."
