Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 400: 202, Hexi Prefecture (Please subscribe!)_3

Logic makes sense, the war in Yong and Xu States hasn't ended yet; Holy Church demands that three counties of Hexi contribute troops. Refusing the Hou Clan now is equivalent to refusing Holy Church...

It should be known that although these twenty-eight prominent families have surrendered, they haven't received recognition from Holy Church so far, and strictly speaking, they are still considered as bearing sins, belonging to the forces under Wanjian Holy Sect. If they refuse to send troops to help Holy Church fight, wouldn't it prove that they all still have second thoughts?

Twenty-eight families, twenty thousand people—if you even count Hou Clan taking the lion's share, almost every family would have to provide more than seventy percent of their elite disciples to make up the numbers, and they are very likely to be sent to fight in Hedong, which is practically a suicidal mission...

Yue Wenzhu and his two companions exchanged glances in mid-air, a flicker of struggle briefly passing through their eyes. They dared not refuse Holy Church, yet they were unwilling to agree to this ruinous plan.

With the three not speaking, no one else uttered a sound; for a moment, the entire Golden Wind and Drizzle Building's hall fell into utter silence.

Bang......

Suddenly, a heavy yellow mass crashed down from the roof, landing directly in front of everyone, causing a loud noise in the hall. The crowd hurriedly looked down to see, and their bodies shuddered, their eyes filled with astonishment.

What crashed onto the floor wasn't some heavy object, but a person—a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, to be more specific, a corpse. His head appeared to have been struck by a heavy object, and his eyes still bore an expression of horror before his death.

"Isn't that Qiu Liben, the Sect Master of Huangshan Sect? He was just invited upstairs..."

Someone who recognized Qiu Liben cried out in shock, but before he could finish his sentence, another body smashed down from the roof onto the ground.

Bang...

"Golden Sword Sect's Sect Leader Ding Dacheng."

Bang...

"Family Head of the Fan Family, Fan Pingdong."

Bang...

"The Head of North City Escort Agency, Yu Kong."

Bang...

"Gang Leader of Feiyun Gang, Wu Yingting."

Bang...

"The Head of Dongning Escort Agency, Ning Baihe."

Bang...

"Sect Leader of Shuiyun Sect, Duan Peng."

......

Seven loud thuds, almost resounding in the very depths of everyone's hearts, especially with someone whispering the identities of these seven people; all the masters of the twenty-eight prominent families present felt cold sweat break out on their backs, including Yue Wenzhu and his two companions.

However, before they could fully recover their composure.

From the rooftop, an indifferent voice rang out again.

"Golden Sword Sect, Shuiyun Sect, Huangshan Sect, Fan Family, Dongning Escort Agency, Beichen Escort Agency, Feiyun Gang—these seven forces colluded with Wanjian Holy Sect to resist Holy Church, the crime is evident, with no need for trial, and all properties are to be confiscated immediately.

Qiu Liben, Ding Dacheng, Fan Pingdong, Yu Kong, Wu Yingting, Ning Baihe, Duan Peng, and their immediate disciples are all to be executed without exception, the remaining disciples are to be arrested immediately to serve as soldiers, giving them the chance to redeem themselves for their crimes!"

The voice instilled panic from the beginning, and as it became closer, everyone looked up at the second floor only to see a young man, who resembled Hou Yuduan on the high platform by about seventy percent, clad in green clothing, strolling leisurely downstairs while smiling and announcing the sentences for the seven persons...

Green clothing, resembling Hou Yuduan with about seventy percent similarity, and when looking at the expressions on the faces of the Hou Family Warriors in the hall, as well as the unfathomably powerful aura from the man, the identity of this person in green became quite apparent:

Master Hou, Thousand-Faced Handsome Man Hou Yuxiao...

"Establishing Hexi Prefecture, I, Gao Haicheng of Gao Family of Lingyuan, raise both hands in approval!"

Gao Haicheng suddenly stood up and spoke loudly, startling Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun, who inwardly cursed the old fox and hurriedly stood up following him.

"As vassals of Holy Church, it is our duty to send troops!"

"Qiu Liben and his gang harbored second thoughts, their deaths were well deserved. Master of Hou Family judged rightly!"

"The establishment of Hexi Prefecture cannot come soon enough. I can hardly wait."

......

Watching these people's faces change so quickly, Hou Yuduan couldn't help but shake his head, secretly lamenting that pleasant talk is indeed not as effective as intimidation, and great power truly does prevail over a thousand words.

"Very well, esteemed seniors, it is evident that you all are discerning of right and wrong. In that case, let Mr. Hou sincerely invite you to join me in jointly establishing Hexi Prefecture, please!!"

"Master Hou is too courteous, we should be toasting you, please!"

Seeing all the masters of the twenty-eight prominent families raising their cups to Hou Yuxiao, the Big Brother, Hou Yuduan knew that the establishment of Hexi Prefecture was now beyond doubt.
