Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 235: 142, Qinglong Association (10)_2

"Over a thousand years have passed, Wuzong has left, the Divine Dynasty has degenerated into the Holy Dynasty, and the people of this world have changed generations. And yet, the Demon-Exterminating Master of the Sixth Rank from the Monster Hunting Bureau hasn't dispersed yet?"

Maiden Hong first expressed her amazement, then stared at Zhang Yuning, noticing the six diamond patterns on his chest, her eyes suddenly ignited with curiosity.

The Monster Hunting Bureau was established by the Yu Shenzong of the former dynasty, its heyday also during that time. The peak of the Blood Demons overlapped with the final years of Wuzong, so it was only natural for them to have crossed paths with the Monster Hunting Bureau.

However, the phrase "the Divine Dynasty has degenerated into the Holy Dynasty" clearly offended Zhang Yuning, he frowned, a trace of indignation appearing on his face, and coldly said, "Since its inception, the Monster Hunting Bureau has vowed a grand ambition, as long as demons exist, the Bureau shall not dissolve. Demons as numerous as you spread across the world, how dare we disband before completely annihilating them!"

The other five people, including those on the ground around them, no matter what their expressions showed, all felt a surge of respect in their hearts.

The Monster Hunting Bureau of the Yu Shenzong indeed has fallen today, but this did not affect the respect the people across the worlds had for it; after all, the contributions the Bureau made for the Human Race during the former dynasty were immense, too significant for anyone to question even today.

This matter, if spoken by someone else, would have meant much less, but coming from Zhang Yuning of the Great Yu Holy Dynasty, it was accepted without question.

However, while Zhang Yuning's words won him respect from others, they elicited a scornful expression from Maiden Hong. She looked at Zhang Yuning as if seeing something ridiculous, disdainfully said, "To eradicate all the demons across the world, just with you people? You don't even understand why Yu Shenzong could make such a claim back then, but you dare make such bold statements in front of me, seeking death!"

Maiden Hong's originally contemptuous tone turned angry as if remembering something, the red mist around her body seeming to boil, suddenly transforming into eerie, undulating clouds.

Her aura gradually surged, and in an instant, an overwhelming pressure enveloped the surroundings, the ground within several miles trembled in an instant.

Maiden Hong merely extended her right hand towards Zhang Yuning and gently waved it...

This wave, as if manipulating the airflow between heaven and earth, set off a sudden burst of dazzling light like the sun behind her, instantly creating a towering torrent, an endless stream of blood-red energy rushing towards Zhang Yuning with overwhelming force.

Zhang Yuning's pupils narrowed, and he was quick to react, the three-foot longsword in his hand suddenly moved, the towering sword qi condensed from within his body, the three lights of essence, qi, and spirit suddenly appeared above his head, his body leapt, and he slashed horizontally with his longsword.

A swath of sword qi, approximately a thousand meters long, like a rainbow piercing the sun, struck against the blood-red torrent in the opposite direction, splitting the undercurrent in a moment, like the Sea-thrashing Divine Sword, parting the bloody torrent before, pointing directly at Maiden Hong.

Zhang Yuning sneered coldly, a mere fifth-rank demon, at most a bit more superior in cultivation than his full completion of Yuandan, comparable only to a titan of the Qiányáng Realm. Seriously, he had reason to fear, but if it was just a casual strike, how could it frighten him, a distinguished sixth-rank Demon-Exterminating Master!

However, his laughter didn't last for three seconds before it abruptly ceased...

The blood-red torrent, after being split by his sword qi, only divided for three seconds before merging back together, menacingly transforming into a towering sea of blood again. In his complacency, Zhang Yuning was directly engulfed by the blood-red torrent.

In the nick of time, an image of a green willow-lined riverside abruptly appeared in mid-air, and from a distance, it was none other than Lian Ningxue in a green dress, who had sketched this scene in the sky at some unknown time. The image was filled with a strong Haoran qi, initially suppressing the torrent momentarily.

The Haoran Holy Sect, originally with four veins based on music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, with different instruments, all inherited the Haoran qi, naturally having a strong suppressive force against demons.

But the blood-red torrent, after being suppressed momentarily, surged again instantly, soon staining a large area of the picture with blood, the robust Haoran qi was defeated in moments, fading away completely...

Thankfully, Zhang Yuning also seized the opportunity to escape, but standing next to Lian Ningxue, both of their faces were filled with shock and astonishment.

"Yin and Yang give birth to life, Xuanyin at its holiest, she has already reached the peak of the fifth business rank!"

In fact, there was no need for Lian Ningxue to speak anymore, the other three people and Master Fanyin, seeing the torrent instantly suppress Zhang Yuning and even taint Lian Ningxue's Haoran qi, had already tightened their expressions to the extreme.

The peak of the fifth business rank, which equates to the peak of the Martial Artist's Yin and Yang Holy Realm, also to the Xuanyin Realm Peak. One more step, and that would mean...

"She deliberately left the aura of a fifth-rank initial stage on the Sheep Heart Demon, we have all been deceived. The peak of the fifth business rank, indeed sly, I request everyone to join forces with me, otherwise today, we will all die by her hand!"

Master Fanyin no longer dared to be careless at this moment. She cried out loudly, and the Moonlight Bodhisattva Mantra resounded instantly through the arena, a pure Brahmin Incantation Sounds continuously eroding and purifying the blood fog around Maiden Hong's body.

Meanwhile, the other four also raised their weapons—Zen staff, longsword, and pen tip—suddenly, a bright light burst forth, and the dark night sky exploded with gold, ink, and white spiritual lights. Within ten miles, the ground began to tremble.

"Back then, even the Yu Shenzong had to dispatch the Imperial Heavenly Craft Bureau, yet you six little figures think you can play tricks in front of me, utterly foolish!"

Maiden Hong, still fighting fiercely, had the leisure to mock. Although few could understand what she said, her next sentence instantly stunned everyone present.

"Blood transforms into life, demons cycle, live!"

It was merely nine words, words no one could understand, but as soon as Maiden Hong uttered the last word "live," the ancient towering trees on the ground seemed to come to life, swaying, their bark peeling off, and one by one, bizarrely shaped demons, opened their eyes from within and tore through the trunks to emerge.

There were three-clawed golden toads, four-footed red snakes, white-faced foxes, salivating wolf demons, majestic tiger demons, evil spirits like hellish jailers, red-clothed female ghosts who had died unjustly, and even an old devout woman carrying a human-skin lantern...

"Heeheeheehee..."

"Teeheehee..."

"Roar...roar..."

"Awooo..."

Countless demons, awakened from those ancient towering trees, as people looked at this myriad of demons and heard their sounds, everyone began to feel their scalps tingle.

"This isn't some secret realm; this is clearly the demons' lair!"

"How... how... how can there be so many demons... how can..."

"Tens of thousands, there must be tens of thousands of them, just the low-grade ones are over a thousand, Tongling is... doomed..."

...

As soon as the battle in the sky began, everyone below had already started to move towards the outer edges, but before they could retreat far, the sudden appearance of this army of tens of thousands of demons immediately caused some people to start feeling weak in the knees...

You should know, those who had not yet retreated were at least warriors of the Gang Qi Realm, even they, upon seeing this, began to feel weak in the knees, one can only imagine the oppressive feeling these demons brought!

"Fan Longhe, Ding Dian, take the Mansion Army back to Tongling County, start the barrier to resist the demons, we six will eliminate the Blood Demon and immediately rush back to aid the Prefectural City, quick!"

Master Fanyin's clear, cool voice came from midair, below, Fan Longhe and Ding Dian immediately reacted, replying: "We obey the orders."

The two did not dare to hesitate, ignoring the commotion behind them, and hurriedly flew towards the outskirts of Shili Slope, clearly going to find Gui Yutang and those forty thousand people, planning to lead them back into the city.

After reuniting with Hou Yuduan, Hou Yuxiao, upon hearing Master Fanyin's command, suddenly changed his expression, turned his head and asked Hou Yuduan: "Has Hou Fei returned with the news, where are the people led by Second Elder?"

Hou Yuduan, seeming somewhat dazed since Maiden Hong's appearance, was sharply awakened by Hou Yuxiao's voice. His face instantly turned pale, and he answered: "They are with Gui Yutang and our clansmen, what's wrong, elder brother!"

"Follow me quickly, remind them, they can't return to the Prefectural City."

Behind them, Hou Yuling, Hou Yujie, along with Nie Xinchuan, Bai Yunfan, and Li Sanyun from the Hou Clan, upon hearing this statement, immediately showed puzzled expressions.

Only Hou Yuduan understood the meaning behind Hou Yuxiao's words, and his face turned even paler...
