Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 187: 125. Rampant Qinglong Association_2

His move was a killing stroke, without an ounce of reservation.

Clearly, he was deeply wary of the man before him, the Second Dragon Head of the Qinglong Association, Fang Longxiang.

Yet, he still underestimated the strength of the person before him.

Of the three opponents, only the half-white-haired elder was able to move. Facing Yan Sannu's fierce claws, he simply placed his hands behind his back, allowing the attack directed at his chest, his eyes visible through his mask filled with disdain and mockery.

Yan Sannu, of course, noticed the elder's expression, and a surge of anger rose in his chest. His claws became even more lethal as they directly struck the elder's chest.

Thud...

A muffled grunt was heard, as the elder's body was slashed by Yan Sannu's knife-like claws. Not only was there no damage, but he also did not move an inch.

A white light suddenly illuminated the elder's forehead, followed by a streak of glowing white True Yuan energy around his body. His presence started to exert a terrifying pressure.

Yan Sannu saw this scene, especially the light on the elder's forehead, and his face instantly twisted with rage as he roared, "Heavenly Gate Acupoint, a Heaven-level Great Grandmaster, how is this possible!"

As soon as he spoke, boundless fear rose in Yan Sannu's heart. He leaped backward in retreat, not giving it a second thought, smashed through the room's window, and fled in a panic.

Simultaneously, over a dozen presences suddenly surged. Unbeknownst when, more than ten figures had taken positions on the rooftops of Shengxin Residence.

The leading group of over ten figures consisted of five people, among whom were Moxuzi and Zen Master Yuan Kong, both of whom had met with Hou Yuxiao.

Another was a lean middle-aged swordsman with a longsword strapped on his back.

One was a bald old monk holding a Zen Staff, draped in a white robe.

Last was a woman hauntingly beautiful, nearly one meter ninety tall with a slender figure, dressed in a light green long gown, and holding an ink brush.

The five watched Yan Sannu fleeing disgracefully, as well as the three figures frantically pursuing him, their eyes flickering, seemingly deep in thought.

"Second Dragon Head Fang Longxiang, it seems the Qinglong Association is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon!"

Moxuzi said with a smile, flicking his dust whisk and offering a compliment.

The middle-aged swordsman huffed coldly, a flint of sharpness flashing in his eyes as he said, "Consorting with demons, regardless of his abilities, is a path to self-destruction."

"If that's the case, why doesn't Brother Zhang take him down?" Moxuzi's eyes gleamed with mischief as he urged on the middle-aged swordsman, who was none other than Peaceful Heaven Sword Zhang Yuning.

Zhang Yuning had an upright expression, and his hands indeed reached behind to the hilt of his sword, but at that moment, he saw the tall green-robed woman signaling to him. As if understanding something, Zhang Yuning refrained from taking action, merely chuckling coldly.

"Amitabha, are we not all here in Tongling to slay demons and eradicate evil? Since the Qinglong Association consorts with demons, why not capture this person and extract the whereabouts of the Blood Demon!"

No sooner had Zen Master Yuan Kong spoken than the old monk in a white robe retorted with a confrontation, "Brother Yuan Kong speaks well. Then why don't you personally take down Fang Longxiang?"

Abbot Yuan Fa of the Great Snow Mountain Buddha Sect spoke, causing Zen Master Yuan Kong's face to darken instantly. Looking at Monk Yuan Fa, who was once as close as a brother to him, Yuan Kong took a couple of deep breaths, made a Buddhist salute, and fell silent.

"Members of the Demon Sect have arrived!"

The tall green-robed woman, who was the only one among the five who had not spoken, suddenly glanced at the neighboring Prefectural Magistrate's Office and Prison Admin Department of Shengxin Residence, her tone laced with mockery.

Upon hearing this, everyone promptly turned to look in that direction, and sure enough, one figure each flew out from the Prefectural Magistrate's Office and Prison Admin Department – County Magistrate Fan Longhe and Deputy Magistrate Ding Dian.

Seeing the five people on the roof of Shengxin Residence, the two showed no surprise, instead bowing slightly to them before turning to watch Yan Sannu, who was being chased and killed.

The Prefectural Magistrate's Office and Prison Admin Department were adjacent to Shengxin Residence, and being so close, they clearly understood the situation at hand. Yet despite the perilous state of Yan Sannu, neither of them made a move, nor did they speak a word.

Zhang Yuning, upon seeing the reaction of these two following their emergence, displayed a touch of anger on his face and said mockingly, "A County Magistrate and a Deputy Magistrate, you're supposed to be the parental officials of this region. With the Qinglong Association so rampant, can you really just ignore it?"

Facing Zhang Yuning's mockery, the two didn't dare to even show a reaction of anger, let alone offer any refutation. They acted as if they hadn't heard him, continuing to feign indifference.

Seeing their apathetic demeanor, Zhang Yuning, however furious, could only shake his head, choosing not to speak further, but his gaze remained fixed on Fang Longxiang.

"Mr. Lian, are we really just going to watch Fang Longxiang commit murder?"

Zhang Yuning couldn't help but transmit his voice to the tall woman in the green gown.

He was a sixth-rank Demon-Slaying Guard of the Great Yu Monster Hunting Bureau, and in such a densely populated city, with Fang Longxiang committing unprovoked murder in public, he found it very difficult to suppress his sense of justice.

Moxuzi, hearing Zhang Yuning's questions, turned his gaze toward the green-gowned woman, curious to see what she would do and thinking about the information he knew of her.

He was familiar with the stunning woman in the green gown, Elder Lian Ningxue of the Haoran Holy Sect.

The Haoran Holy Sect was originally divided into four branches based on the arts of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Each had a Mountain Chief. At the end of the Wuzong era, the Mountain Chief of the calligraphy branch, known as Master Kong, departed from the Haoran Holy Sect with his disciples to establish the Bailu Academy. Now, it has become the leader of the Righteous Path.

With such history, the relationship between the Haoran Holy Sect and Bailu Academy was naturally not confrontational. With the current Blood Demon event in Tongling, all five parties knew this was orchestrated by the Wanjian Holy Sect and Bailu Academy together. Arriving here, they each harbored their own schemes.
