Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 160: 115, conveniently wiped out that small clan_3

"Everyone, it's getting late, and demons are rampant in Tongling lately, making the Official Road quite unsafe," he said. "Let's set off early so we can reach Zhaoyang County by tonight for a rest; otherwise, we'll have to sleep on the Official Road!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly mounted their horses and followed Zhao Qingxue, setting off on the Official Road together.

Hou Yuxiao, trailing at the rear, displayed a hint of darkness on his face.

The thing he had feared most still happened...

There were two routes from Wanyang County to Tongling County.

One was to take the southwest Official Road to Tianling County, and then head directly west from Tianling County, bypassing Zhaoyang and going straight to Tongling.

The other was to go west all the way, passing through Zhaoyang before reaching Tongling Prefectural City.

The reason he had joined the expedition initiated by Zhao Qingxue was his concern that these people would take the latter route.

As expected, that was indeed their plan.

Two Grandmasters, in addition to eleven Dan Embracing Phase experts, this team passing by the Hou Clan of Zhaoyang's stronghold immediately weighed heavily on Hou Yuxiao's mind.

Although he believed that the Hou Family had done nothing evil in Zhaoyang recently, after all, these people all claimed to be from The Righteous Path, and in their eyes, the Hou Family was a third-rate Demon Path family in Yongzhou; should these people act impulsively...

Fortunately, he had already sent a message to his clan ahead of time, which somewhat relieved Hou Yuxiao as he followed behind the others, his eyes constantly on Zhao Qingxue and Monk Bu Zheng.

Among those present, the greatest threat was supposedly Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng, but deep inside, Hou Yuxiao was more wary of these two.

He had once clashed with these two men at the Tongtian River. The combined strength of these two was almost equivalent to his own, but as for Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng, though they had Cultivation, their intelligence was evidently lacking, and he was not too concerned about them.

The group traveled mostly in silence. Zhao Qingxue only spoke a few words with her two junior fellow disciples and Monk Bu Zheng; since even she was quiet, the others were naturally even less talkative.

Burdened with thoughts, the group was powerful enough, so they didn't stick to the Official Road but traveled westward on horseback.

Three Great Grandmasters, in addition to eleven Dan Embracing Phase experts, merely the robust vitality emitted by them was enough to deter any attack. Thus, they encountered no demons wreaking havoc all the way into Tongling County.

After traveling for over four hours and as the sky was about to darken, a city appeared before everyone's eyes, and Chen Yuhe was the first to break the silence.

"We've arrived; up ahead is Zhaoyang County!"

"Zhaoyang County, the most remote place in Yongzhou. I remember it not having even a notable faction. It seems only the Black Ape Demon, Hou Tong, had some reputation. A Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm is nothing to be afraid of; we can go in and have a good rest!"

Liu Fufeng, seeing the city, also slightly relaxed. Even for a Grandmaster, this journey had been somewhat tiring.

"Brother Liu, what you're talking about is outdated. That Black Ape Demon, Hou Tong, who committed many wicked deeds, had already been killed by someone two years ago.

Now, Zhaoyang City has long been occupied by his son, Hou Yuxiao. The Hou Clan was recognized by the Demon Sect at the beginning of the year and had risen to be one of the third-rate powers in Tongling County!

This Hou Yuxiao probably has some talent and good fortune. Although he is only in the Gathering Evil Phase, he had slain Cheng Yue, the favored disciple of the Divine Illumination Celestial King, Ding Dian, in Tongling Prefectural City. Now, he is ranked 318th on the Junior Demon Extermination List and is not without fame," Chen Yuhe said lightly, revealing details about Hou Yuxiao.

Before he finished speaking, Tong Hu started speaking with a chilling tone.

"This Hou Yuxiao, let me tell you, is not that simple. At the end of last year during the Zhaoyang Disturbance, he was favored by the Demon Sect's enchantress, Sikong Yue, and taken into their sect. Now not only has he elevated the Hou Clan to notable status, but he also used the Soul Ensnaring Soup to convince the enchantress to order that no County Lord or Magistrate be appointed in Zhaoyang, effectively making the Hou Clan the ruler of Zhaoyang!"

Chen Yuhe, noticing the grimness in Tong Hu's tone, immediately laughed: "What's this, Young Sect Master Tong, could it be that you have a past with this Hou Yuxiao?"

Tong Hu nodded, his killing intent growing more intense. Hou Yuxiao had played him along with Tian Linong and Helian Wuji last year, and it had only been half a year; he had not forgotten.

"Our trip to Tongling is to exterminate the Qinglong Association, after all, aimed at promoting The Righteous Path. Since this little Hou Clan belongs to the Demon Path, it is certainly up to no good; let's just destroy them while we're at it!"

Liu Fufeng then spoke up, and the others responded eagerly as well.

"A minor matter, let's wipe out this minor clan then."

"Merely a trivial effort. Young Sect Master Tong, if you are interested, it will take us only a moment to act..."

......

This truly is a case of fearing what might come to pass...

Hou Yuxiao at the back shook his head, listening to the others who continued discussing, and sighed softly to himself.

In the depths of his eyes, a terrifying killing intent was gradually rising.
