Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 340: 181. The Changing Winds and Clouds, The Situation of the World (Part 3)_3

Wanjian Holy Sect must know that their actions are offending the entire Confucian Sect across The World, they must be aware of it, yet they still chose to do so!

Clearly, this time Ji Yanzhi must have really put Wanjian Holy Sect in a tough spot.

"Huangfu Xing tore up the covenant with Jin Capital, a great battle between Yong and Xu States has become inevitable. It's no wonder that Wanjian Holy Sect is so infuriated..."

Lu Dianrong softly muttered to himself, his face showing a hint of helplessness.

"With the death of Ji Yanzhi, the alliance between Yanzhou and Jizhou will have to be postponed, giving Great Yu Holy Dynasty a chance to catch its breath. A rift has formed between Bailu Academy and Xuzhou, and instead of helping in this great battle, they might even add insult to injury for Xuzhou.

Great Yu Holy Dynasty is facing pressure from Northern Jizhou and urgently needs allies. They may take the opportunity to ally with Xuzhou. Not to mention forming an alliance, if they can defeat Yongzhou, they might even be able to expand their influence.

Now among the world's ten great Holy Lands, Yongzhou is the weakest, and there are even rumors that Rakshasa Demon Religion will be the first Holy Land to fall. Such a perfect opportunity, Leiyin Temple will certainly not miss out since they have been coveting the name of a Holy Land for a long time."

"I heard that during the chaos in Tongling, Lian Ningxue of Haoran Holy Sect and Moxuzi of Ziqing Holy Sect were also present. Both Haoran Holy Sect and Ziqing Holy Sect don't get along with the Confucian Sect. They will definitely help Xuzhou just to give Bailu Academy a hard time."

Lu Yuanfu said a lot in one breath, and after finishing, his eyes gradually became clear, obviously having a firm grasp on the situation. He then slowly shook his head and sighed, "Who would have thought that Ji Yanzhi would stir the sinews and bones of the six great Holy Lands and the seven states of The Righteous Path with his death alone... Truly a great power of the Confucian Sect..."

The other four were lost in thought upon hearing these words. Although they hadn't thought so deeply, they were quick to understand once Lu Yuanfu explained.

"Although the six great Holy Lands claim to follow The Righteous Path, they are constantly thinking about engulfing one another. Just look at the strict defenses at the state borders. That being the case, there is no such thing as a conflict involving only two states. Anytime there is a dispute over state borders, it will lead to a chain reaction. As soon as the conflict escalates to a certain scale, the Confucian Sect and Jizhou will not be able to stand idly by and will surely enter the fray!"

"By my account, it's not just that. If there's a layer of pretense left unbroken amidst The Righteous Path, then the intent of the Demon Path to devour each other is almost blatantly obvious. Rakshasa Demon Religion is facing a great battle, and the other three major Demon Sects will definitely not sit idly by. Rakshasa Demon Religion could easily fall into a situation where it is attacked from both front and back. This time, they might truly be hurt at their foundation!"

The two young men continued to speak, and the rest showed approving expressions upon hearing their words.

Lu Dianrong looked at his five grandsons, especially his second grandson Lu Yuanfu, his face full of approval. Although the Lu Family had been living above the Yunlan Ancient River for generations, they were well-known throughout The World and also one of the twenty-two major powers. Therefore, they couldn't slack in the cultivation of their descendants.

Being a renowned family in The World, the Lu Family had extremely strict rules about marriage and continuation of bloodline. Hence, they maintained their heritage for over a thousand years. From the first ancestor Lu Shengkang to the present, there had only been eight generations. According to the generational names, they were Sheng, Kang, Ji, Zu, Ming, Dian, Kai, Yuan. Including the current generation with the "Yuan" generational name, there were more than a hundred descendants. Among them, the most outstanding were the five standing before him, from oldest to youngest:

Yuan Dong, Yuan Fu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Zhe.

The Lu Family's approach to training descendants differed from other families. Although they too had a main and collateral lines, they didn't simply adhere to direct bloodlines. A child of a main line did not automatically belong to the main line; everything was based on merit. The cultivation level was of the highest regard, followed by intellectual capability.

"Fourth Grandfather, we've arrived at Yangzhou!"

Lu Dianrong was deep in thought when he was suddenly roused by his eldest grandson, Lu Yuan Dong. He looked up toward the riverbank and saw a large boundary marker inscribed with "Yangzhou," as well as a large group of white-clad Confucian Scholars standing below it. He nodded slightly, first removing the barrier that had been covering the six of them, before turning back to look at the cabin and calling out:

"Young Master Tian, we've arrived at Yangzhou!"
