Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 222: 137?Qinglong Association (5)

Shili Slope, the time had come to the Hour of Hai.

The entrance to the Secret Realm had opened at the end of the Xu Hour. By now, everyone had been inside for half an hour, yet there was not a peep from inside, and the remaining onlookers around were slowly getting impatient.

As they waited, their gazes naturally shifted to the remaining seven members of the Qinglong Association. After watching for a while, a glint of speculation started to appear in their eyes.

"There are seven from the Qinglong Association, with only two warriors in the Gathering Malevolence Phase, and the other five are of the Coagulate Gang Realm. Shouldn't we..."

"Fang Longxiang and Fang Jinghong are so arrogant, taking all the Grandmasters into the Secret Realm. Why don't we join forces to take down these seven, and if Fang Longxiang gets something good in there, we can use these people as leverage."

...

The discussions of the people around made Hou Yuling's brow furrow slightly. She then let out a cold laugh, and her gaze towards the crowd gradually turned unfriendly.

Hou Yuxiao dared to leave the two of them outside because he was confident.

All the Grandmaster Realm experts and Dan Embracing Phase warriors had entered the Secret Realm, leaving over a hundred warriors in the Gang Qi Realm outside, the highest of whom were only in the Gathering Malevolence Phase, and the rest were also warriors in the Gang Qi Realm.

If these people really all banded together, the seven of them certainly wouldn't stand a chance, but the key was that these people were from all over the Sanling Region and Wanyang County, Xuzhou. It wasn't so simple to unite them smoothly.

However, there's always the unexpected in everything.

While Hou Yuling's guess was somewhat logical, it couldn't stop these people's greed for the Secret Realm.

"Gentlemen, the Qinglong Association is defiant and colludes with demons. The County Magistrate and Deputy Magistrate must be contending with them inside the Secret Realm now. We can't fall behind, these seven have mediocre strength, why don't we join forces to take them down!"

A voice rang out from the crowd. Hou Yuling's eyes turned cold as she turned to look at the person who spoke. The rest of the Hou family also glanced over.

Yu Guichen, being stared at by seven people from the Qinglong Association, was inevitably nervous, but seeing the crowd beside him, he still mustered the courage to step forward and said to the people: "Just seven people, an opportunity like this won't come again. If we charge together, they stand no chance. Lord Fan and Magistrate Ding sent us today to deal with the Qinglong Association. Would you really miss such a chance to gain merit?"

More than a dozen people stood by his side, all warriors in the Gang Qi Realm from prominent forces in Tongling County, including Tong Yun, the head of the Ling Cheng Escort Agency, Zhao Mansha, Sect Leader of the Lonely Moon Sect, Yu Guixin, Sect Leader of the Qijue Gate, Bai Yunfan, Patriarch of the Bai Clan, Nie Xinchuan, Gang Leader of the Hongdao Gang, Liu Jianghong, head of the West Cloud Escort Agency, and Li Sanyun of the Medicine Dust Sect. Although these seven had entered the Secret Realm, each had left two or three warriors in the Gang Qi Realm outside to meet them. Yu Guichen was now trying to rally these people.

If it was just these dozen or so people taking down the seven from the Qinglong Association, Yu Guichen himself didn't feel confident. The key was that if these people acted, it was very likely that others would join in as well, so whether these people agreed to his proposal was important.

The two from the Ling Cheng Escort Agency exchanged glances and immediately stepped forward, saying, "Brother Yu is absolutely right. We came today precisely for the Qinglong Association, to uncover the truth of their collusion with demons. Now is the perfect chance. If we capture these seven, we can decide what to do when the two Lords come out."

At this moment, a member of the Lonely Moon Sect also stood out, and the people from the Bai Clan, Hongdao Gang, West Cloud Escort Agency, and Medicine Dust Sect began to show signs of agreement.

The Lonely Moon Sect and the Ling Cheng Escort Agency, like the Qijue Gate, were part of Ding Dian's camp. Naturally, they supported Yu Guixin's suggestion.

However, the other four families were Fang Longhe's people, and they had to give some thought to his proposal.

"Brother Bai, what are you still considering? Capturing these seven could be seen as a merit to the Holy Church, and Fan County Magistrate will surely reward you when he comes out of the Secret Realm."

Bai Dongyu's expression wavered for a moment. Looking at the seven from the Qinglong Association, he truly was tempted. Putting others aside, these few local influential families from Tongling knew that the Qinglong Association was involved with demons and was bound to fall. Capturing these seven would indeed be meritorious, and while Fang Longhe's reward was secondary, earning merit for the Holy Church was vital.

However, just when he was deliberating, Hou Yuduan, who stood beside Hou Yuling, suddenly made his move...

A green longsword tens of meters long tore through the night sky, sweeping torrents of Gang Qi malevolence directly toward Yu Guichen who had spoken first.

The longsword dispersed in midair, hundreds of sword lights twinkling in the starry night like a sudden gust of thunderous rain, instantly enveloping Yu Guichen.

Caught off guard, Yu Guichen was nevertheless a warrior in the Gathering Malevolence Phase with swift reactions. After snapping to attention, he immediately drew the large saber from his waist, his pupils contracted as he gathered Gang Qi onto the blade, and with a fierce shout, he unleashed six imposing fifteen-meter blades heading straight for the two hands, two eyes, neck, and dantian on Hou Yuduan's mask.

The Qijue Gate originated from the Seven Extremes Sword Technique, and as the younger brother of Sect Leader Yu Guixin, Yu Guichen had also practiced the technique from an early age. He had mastered six of the seven critical points targeted by the Seven Extremes Sword Technique.

With the mastery of third-rate martial arts, he believed he should at least be able to hold his own against the experts from the Qinglong Association for a while.

However, the next second he realized just how naive his thoughts were.
