Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 280: 159. Ding Dian Rebels Against the Sect_3

The Blood Demon was a hidden danger that Tian Fazheng had planted during the Zhaoyang Disturbance last year, he had already guessed and confirmed that, since Ji Yanzhi was Tian Fazheng's teacher, it was very likely that this matter was initiated by Ji Yanzhi...

Had the plans been laid four years ago just for a minor Tongling County?

This was a high-ranking official of the Holy Land, the Mountain Chief of Bailu Academy, revered by people across The World as a Great Confucian and Taoist Expert, a sage-like existence equivalent to a powerful figure of the Martial Path's Broken Realm, surely this was not just for Tongling County.

Then there was only one explanation left...

Great powers had personally intervened, borrowing the name of slaying demons to take control of Tongling, completely destroying the treaty of Jin Capital, and initiating a major war between the two provinces!

Hou Yuxiao's gaze slightly lowered as he watched the two great powers still clashing in the sky, then looked down at the now-open West Gate, his face revealing a trace of determination.

"Into the city!"

At a low voice, the more than three thousand Martial Artists behind him, including those over fifty Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm, all seemed shocked, they looked up and responded in unison, "Yes!"

Hou Yuxiao, taking the lead, first walked into the West Gate, but he intentionally slowed down to wait for the others, the over fifty Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm all closely followed him.

With the appearance of a Great Confucian and Taoist Expert, it indicated that Xuzhou had already made its move. The city's demon army had just been cleared by the Blood Demon, leaving only the heavily damaged Mansion Army. At this moment, for Hou Yuxiao to lead them into the city would be extremely impactful...

However, only a few could understand these matters, including Li Sanyun, Nie Xinchuan, and Bai Yunfan. Unaware of Hou Yuxiao's plans, and observing the fierce battle between the two powerful auras overhead, each of their faces showed a trace of worry.

"Big brother, is it too rash to enter the city now?"

As soon as Hou Yujie spoke up, many immediately turned their gazes toward Hou Yuxiao, cocking their ears, attentive to hear what he would say.

"Speak your mind!"

Hearing his older brother's words, Hou Yujie's eyes revealed a questioning look. Seeing Hou Yuxiao nod towards him, he spoke up, reassured.

"The outcome between Ji Yanzhi and the Blood Demon is still uncertain, from what we see now, it seems the Blood Demon has won, which could be more advantageous for us. But then, entering the city would be futile since the Blood Demon's victory would mean we are heading into a dead end!

Moreover, the current situation of the Mansion Army in the city is unclear, and we also don't know the status of the Xuzhou forces. For us, just these three thousand troops entering the city might seem overconfidence. If we encounter any unexpected situation..."

"Don't worry, the Blood Demon cannot win. Since Bailu Academy's expert has arrived, wouldn't the Rakshasa Holy Sect's expert also come? Even if they really don't, there must have been some pact reached in advance.

Ji Yanzhi's primary target is undoubtedly the Blood Demon, and possibly also to officially ignite the war between the two states. The Xuzhou army should soon arrive. It's better for us to enter the city early and act according to the situation. Otherwise, if someone else takes the city, we can only miserably watch from outside!"

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on him, Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment, then added.

"I won't make a rash move unless there is an excellent opportunity."

Hearing this, everyone's faces gradually relaxed, focusing solely on following closely by Hou Yuxiao's side, and upon entering through the gate, they headed towards East City.

As Hou Yuxiao walked, he considered the next steps in his mind.

In his view, the demise of the Blood Demon was inevitable. It was just a question of whether she would fall by Ji Yanzhi alone or if other experts from the Holy Land would join him in eliminating her.

Once the Blood Demon died, the battle for Tongling would come to a critical point...

Xuzhou, Leiyin Temple, his Hou Clan...

Bailu Academy had sent a great sage; he wondered how many forces Xuzhou would mobilize for Tongling. If the numbers were too large, they would have to hold the city defensively.

The situation with Yuan Kong, the Zen Master from Leiyin Temple and his group of monks was manageable. The main concern was the nearly five thousand troops from the Great Luo Sect, who should have suffered heavy losses by now after so much time...

Recalling the earlier incident at the East City Gate, where Ding Peng led Great Luo Sect's troops to enter the city first and deceive others, thinking they were secure, Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but snicker coldly to himself.

Two rounds of Blood Vines plus the demon army—these three waves of attacks had fully engaged the Great Luo Sect's troops. He just didn't know how many of those five thousand were left...

While he was deep in thought, he suddenly sensed an approaching presence. Lifting his head, his face instantly showed a relaxed smile.

It turned out that Hou Yuduan, clad in white, was hurrying from the inner city. Seeing Hou Yuxiao and the others, he showed a joyous expression, greeted everyone with a bow, and then walked directly to his side, his expression serious as he whispered.

"Big brother, Ding Dian has betrayed the Holy Church, and there's internal chaos within the Mansion Army!"

Hearing this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Hou Yuxiao's face...
