Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 431: 213. What does the Shen Clan count for?

"What are you staring at, continue slaughtering!"

Hou Yujie's soft voice resonated throughout the venue, the chilling intent in his final word "slaughter" stunned everyone, causing a sense of absurdity to rise within their hearts, as they looked at him with disbelief written all over their faces.

Ignoring Shen Gufan?

This was Jinling County after all. Although the Hou Clan's elite army of three thousand was in high spirits, if Shen Gufan really made a move, he could produce a force far stronger in mere moments.

Was the Hou Clan's fourth young master so bold?

The sound of the Hou Clan's army slashing relentlessly and the successive screams of the Zhu Clan's assassins seemed to answer their doubts.

Shen Gufan's facial expression also stiffened, especially when he saw that those from the Hou Clan actually continued to slaughter the Zhu Clan's people. He glared at Hou Yujie with murderous intent nearly spilling from his eyes.

Although Zhou Hong had a grin of schadenfreude, a trace of hesitation also arose in his heart when he looked back at the people of the Hou Clan.

Reflecting on six days ago, when the brothers of the Hou Clan had capitulated before Shen Gufan and left, he had scorned the Hou Clan, deeming them merely lucky upstarts. Although they had some fortune, they were far inferior to entrenched and heritage-rich Second-rate families like the Shen Clan.

Latterly, a warrior from the Gang Qi Realm of the Hou Clan had sought him out to inquire about the Zhu Clan's stronghold. He thought it was merely because the brothers could not bear to lose face and would at most issue a warning without making any real moves.

This scene before him completely overturned his prior assumptions.

It turned out the brothers had never submitted; they had clarified the location of the Zhu Clan's stronghold from him precisely to eradicate the Zhu Clan once and for all…

The Hou Clan's manner of acting was so domineering!

This thought wasn't unique to Zhou Hong. Ling Yanyun and the other leaders of the six Third-rate forces witnessing this scene felt the same, and their apprehension towards the Hou Clan soared to its limits as they watched Hou Yujie and the Hou Clan's army continuously slaughter the Zhu Clan.

"Shen Gufan, my Zhu Clan has made so much money for your Shen Clan over the years, do you truly intend to just stand by and watch?"

Zhu Wuzhen was already somewhat hysterical, the oppressive presence of the large army combined with Hou Yujie leveraging the sharp Qingyu Peak left him with no options, and in desperation, he could no longer worry about exposing the relationship between the Zhu and Shen Clans. He roared at Shen Gufan, hoping for immediate assistance.

Shen Gufan stood still, looking at Zhou Hong in front of him. His right hand, gripping the sword, showed popping veins, and his right leg also took a step forward, but after a moment of struggle in his eyes, he did not actually make a move.

This scene deepened Zhu Wuzhen's despair.

"Spare no one from the Zhu Clan!"

Hou Yujie's cold voice rang out again, as the massacring actions of the Hou Clan's army further accelerated, and the remaining hundreds of people kept falling until they were utterly wiped out, with less than ten survivors.

"Hou Lao Si, you are audacious. Today, my Zhu Clan has fallen into your hands. Some day, I will make your Hou Clan pay in blood!"

Having realized that the situation was irreversible, Zhu Wuzhen no longer struggled futilely. Hatred and murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Hou Yujie, and after finishing his statement, he promptly withdrew, signaling to the two grandmasters and six to seven warriors of the Gang Qi Realm from the Zhu Clan who were still alive, preparing to flee.

"You won't have that chance!"

As Zhu Wuzhen was retreating, a gentle voice suddenly reached his ears and, out of reflex, a cold smile appeared. Indeed, he had no way to confront Hou Yujie's army of three thousand head-on, but if he wanted to escape, Hou Yujie couldn't stop him.

However, in the direction he was attempting to retreat, a white light suddenly rose, making the front as bright as day. Enduring the discomfort, he looked toward the center of the bright light, and shockingly, a meticulously formed character for "Wall," floating in mid-air, appeared.

"Second Realm Yu Wen, it's Hou Lao Wu!"

Zhu Wuzhen's decision to run was not just because he saw the Zhu Clan's overall situation as hopeless and he himself had no way to deal with Hou Yujie; more importantly, he knew that Hou Yuduan, who had come with Hou Yujie, had yet to make his move.

If a Gathering Malevolence Phase Hou Yujie was this troublesome, then Hou Yuduan, who was a wildly famous Zhao Yang Mo Ru in the Demon Path and ranked in the New Star Ranking, was even more formidable.

This was the reason he didn't think twice before turning to flee.

In the Second Realm Yu Wen, this realm of Confucianists could use Vast Righteous Qi as a guide to manipulate characters or attach to magical instruments, possessing boundless applications. While this barrier formed of Vast Righteous Qi looked ethereal, in the eyes of Zhu Wuzhen and the other two, it was as tangible and insurmountable as a real wall.

A sharp glint flashed across Zhu Wuzhen's eyes, as he gathered Primeval Energy in his palm, and struck towards the wall in front of him, creating a huge hole in it. While turning to face the approaching Hou brothers, he signaled to the two behind him: "You go ahead. These two mongrels can't do anything to me."

"Yes, Family Head!"

The two hesitated for a moment, but seeing the certain look on Zhu Wuzhen's face, they still turned and left. Both were grandmasters from the Zhu Clan, and their behavior showed that, evidently, they held considerable respect for Zhu Wuzhen as their family head.

The two passed through the hole Zhu Wuzhen had created and didn't think twice before sprinting toward the west, given that Hou Clan's army was still on the east. If they were entangled, not only would escape become impossible, but even their lives would be at risk.
