Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 171: 119, Ruining a Good Thing_2

"The ninth Sword God, Infatuation Gu?"

Bu Zheng first paused in shock, bowed his head in deep contemplation for a long time, and still expressed confusion, "Nanjiang Infatuation Gu, I remember that the ninth Sword God of the Wanjian Holy Sect is Gu Chenfeng, are you saying the Wanjian Holy Sect is targeting Zhao Qingxue's Taishang Forgetful Way, wanting to use the Infatuation Gu to make Gu Chenfeng her Fated One?"

Seeing his senior brother Buyu nod, Bu Zheng's eyes filled with greater confusion, and he continued, "Senior brother, don't we from Leiyin Temple have a good relationship with the Ziqing Holy Sect? If it's truly as you say, shouldn't we take action to save Zhao Qingxue?"

Buyu's face showed a hint of obscurity, and he asked in a low voice, "What do you think will happen if Zhao Qingxue really were afflicted by the Infatuation Gu by Gu Chenfeng, and then, we tell this to the Ziqing Holy Sect?"

"The Infatuation Gu, also known as the Life and Death Entwining Love Gu, can only be resolved by life or death. If it's as you say, the Ziqing Holy Sect can only swallow this loss silently. But with their direct descendant schemed against, they would definitely harbor misgivings, and their relationship with the Wanjian Holy Sect would..."

At this point, Bu Zheng paused, his expression suddenly showing enlightenment.

"The Wanjian Holy Sect these past two years has been getting too close to the Confucian Sect."

"On the surface, Tongling is troubled by demons, but isn't it actually the Confucian Sect and the Wanjian Holy Sect coming together to confront the Rakshasa Demon Religion and probe the realities of Yongzhou?"

"Our trip to Jiaozhou was able to invite the Ziqing Holy Sect to aid us, to be frank, was because the temple paid a huge price. The Ziqing Holy Sect may not truly want to help us; if we could use this incident to make them hostile towards the Wanjian Holy Sect, and also considering the Taoist inherently disagrees with the Confucian Sect, the relationship between the Ziqing Holy Sect and us would grow stronger."

At this moment, Bu Zheng's thoughts had completely cleared. Excitement appeared on his face as he continued Buyu's words, "Then the upcoming great chaos in Yongzhou, as long as the Confucian Sect and Wanjian Holy Sect unite to suppress us, the Ziqing Holy Sect certainly won't sit back and watch."

"Senior brother, you stopping me from getting involved is indeed wise!"

Hearing his junior brother's praise, Buyu slightly shook his head, saying, "All these are Master's thoughts, including my coming to fetch you, and he was the one who communicated it to me. It was also on the way to find you that I understood."

Hearing that it was the Master's idea, Bu Zheng's face immediately showed respect, and Buyu's expression was similar, evidently both holding great reverence for their master, Zen Master Yuan Kong.

"Let's leave this place first, I was already in Tongling before anyone could realize. If anything really happens to Zhao Qingxue, just say I had to leave first for some urgent matters, and no one can blame you!"

Hearing his senior brother's words, Bu Zheng nodded his head, mounted his horse, and left Zhaoyang with him.

......

By the time they arrived near where Zhao Qingxue was staying, Hou Yuxiao was still wearing his own face and hadn't changed into Ren Feng's appearance.

If he could continue hiding his identity, he certainly wouldn't give it up, for more aliases meant more options.

Mainly because when entering the city, Zhao Qingxue's slip of the tongue meant that the other party already knew his identity as Fang Jinghong, so there was no need for him to revert to Ren Feng.

However, looking at Zhao Qingxue's room door, he thought for a moment and then took out the mask of the Azure Dragon malevolent ghost and put it on his face.

"The little Daoist nun knows I am Fang Jinghong, but she probably doesn't know I'm Hou Yuxiao. Perfect, Chen Yuhe and Tong Hu, those six people were captured by me, using Fang Jinghong's identity, I can push all this onto the Qinglong Association!"

Beneath the mask, Hou Yuxiao softly hummed. His promotion of the Qinglong Association wasn't just about making money; crucially, it was to provide cover for his family still growing in power.

The disturbance in Zhaoyang last year, coupled with the recent uproar he had caused in the Prefectural City, and the demon chaos in Tongling, with only Zhaoyang remaining unscathed, anyone with a mind would easily notice the Hou Clan. Using the Qinglong Association to divert some attention indeed eased much pressure on his family.

No longer hiding his Qi, Hou Yuxiao leapt onto the roof of Zhao Qingxue's residence. Just as he used his Qi to sense the building below, a burst of Sword Qi suddenly flew out from inside the house, heading straight for his face.

The Sword Qi was incredibly sharp, its generated wave instantly blowing off the roof, tearing through the sky for over a hundred meters, with a terrifying momentum.

"Why does this Sword Qi look so familiar?"

Already on alert, Hou Yuxiao deftly dodged the Sword Qi, but looking back at it, a sense of familiarity surged in his eyes.

"Get out of my way!"

The roof was blown away, instantly kicking up a cloud of dust. A white figure abruptly flew out from inside, holding a person and seeming very anxious. He roared angrily, whisking across the night sky, racing away toward the outskirts of Zhaoyang City.

Hearing this voice, beneath the mask, Hou Yuxiao's expression froze, then his eyes slightly narrowed, and his face gradually turned fierce.

"If it's this damned cur, then I can't let you escape!"

The aura around Hou Yuxiao shook as his Grandmaster Realm Cultivation explosively erupted, flying across the night sky following that person, his expression beneath the mask utterly grim.

"I knew this name sounded familiar; it turns out it's you. Hahaha, Senior Brother Zhao said, that Hou Tong daringly used a forged marriage proposal, attempting to tie the knot with him, clinging to Qinjian Villa, utterly ridiculous, hahahaha..."

Last year's memories of the Zhaoyang Disturbance surfaced in his mind. As the memories became clearer, watching the fleeing figure ahead, Hou Yuxiao's murderous intent grew stronger, his gaze becoming intensely fierce.
