Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 394: 200, rise to fame_3

Before Yue Wenzhu could react, the old man in green next to him, Duan Heyan, the Elder of the Famed Sword Sect, and his daughter Yue Qianfu, both showed a flicker of interest almost immediately.

The provocative intent of Ke Jiangyun was quite obvious, understandable to anyone who was not a fool; however, the problem was that his words indeed made sense and were extremely tempting for the Famed Sword Sect.

Everyone mingling in the martial world would want to climb higher if they could; who would willingly remain below others!

"Hall Master Ke, please be cautious with your words, let us attend the banquet first and see what the Hou Family has to say..."

"Very well, very well, Sect Leader Yue, after you!"

Seeing the interested expression on Yue Wenzhu's face, Ke Jiangyun knew the principle of moderation, and did not continue, but instead proceeded to the banquet with him.

Since they were originally not far from the city center and the streets were sparsely populated at this time, the group quickly arrived at the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building.

As soon as they arrived, several experienced servants rushed up to take the horses, and another obviously leading servant smiled and ushered everyone inside.

"I remember that the owner of this Golden Wind and Drizzle Building was the Tianding Sect and Lu Sword Executor. Since the Tianding Sect was annihilated and Sect Master Tong and Lu Sword Executor have fled, your owner must have changed now, right?"

Having been to Wanyang County before, Yue Wenzhu inquired curiously to the leading servant.

Seeing the attire of the group, the servant knew he was out of his depth. Fortunately, he had explained this issue many times today. He nodded apologetically and said, "Not to deceive you all, but as soon as the Holy Church entered the city, they issued a decree that Wanyang County is now governed by the Hou Family. The assets of the Sword Control Bureau and the Tianding Sect have been taken over by the Hou Family, including our Golden Wind and Drizzle Building. Our new shopkeeper, Wan Xiaolou, is a disciple of Family Head Hou Yuxiao, currently waiting inside for you all!"

Murder for power indeed confirms what the ancients say...

Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun exchanged glances, both slightly sighing internally with the same thought almost occurring to them simultaneously.

The Sword Control Bureau governed Wanyang County for four hundred years, and the Tianding Sect was the strongest second-rate force native to Wanyang County. Together, their wealth far surpassed that of the Famed Sword Sect and Fengbo Hall.

Unfortunately, it all collapsed overnight, now all to the benefit of the Hou Family.

While they sighed, they continued walking toward the interior of the building. Just as they were about to enter, suddenly, a black-clothed youth, roughly seventeen or eighteen, came out. He smiled and respectfully greeted them with a fist salute, "Junior Wan Xiaolou, greets the two seniors!"

The youth's greeting instantly brought a look of displeasure to the faces of the group, all of whom possessed the cultivation of the Gang Qi Realm, and noted at a glance that the youth only possessed the Six Levels of Body Unsealing cultivation. In both the Fengbo Hall and the Famed Sword Sect, he would be considered an ordinary disciple, with no qualification to greet Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun.

An ordinary Gang Qi Realm disciple from Fengbo Hall couldn't help wanting to step forward and scold, but Ke Jiangyun gently stopped him with his hand.

"The Hou Family has shown consideration by sending a promising disciple to personally welcome us!"

"Young Master Wan is so thorough in his courtesies, I am already eager to meet your esteemed master, please lead the way!"

Wan Xiaolou felt a slight sigh within his heart at Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun's politeness. This was the disparity status brought by different identities. Since Wanyang County had changed rulers, he rightfully joined the Hou Family, and the label of Hou Yuxiao's disciple was definitively stamped on him.

Although he had experienced such flattering scenes before, each experience provoked different thoughts within him.

The intention of the Gang Qi Realm warrior from Fengbo Hall to step forward and scold did not escape his notice.

Strength is always foremost; although these people respect me on the surface, deep down, they probably do not take me seriously at all. The respect they have is for the Hou Family and my master only.

Wan Xiaolou naturally did not voice his thoughts but instead showed a hint of humble smile, and slightly bowed to the two, "It is an overpraise from the seniors, I am but of low strength. My master will arrive later, three of my martial uncles are already inside waiting for you, please come in!"

The two nodded slightly, leading the pack of people behind them, following Wan Xiaolou slowly into the building.

As they entered the grand hall of the Golden Wind and Drizzle Building, both of their faces immediately revealed a trace of astonishment.

In the grand hall, about twenty zhang square, there were clearly more than thirty groups of people sitting distinctly apart, each group consisting of about ten to twenty individuals, adding up to at least five or six hundred people in total.

"The influential forces of the three counties have all arrived!"
