Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 490 - 233, The World Shakes_3
Wise people could naturally discern the true intent of those traveling upriver, not excluding a few who were truly loyal to Great Yu to the death, but what percentage could such "fools" possibly represent?
After stationing their armies of a million men each on the east and west, the Emperor Yuliang of Great Jin and the forces of Jizhou seemed to realize the enormity of the precedent they were setting and all fell into silence, not pressing their advance toward the Capital Region Path. What could be certain was that they were not incapable of attacking.
The details of the double-fronted conflicts on the Lincang Path and Dongyuan Path gradually became public knowledge.
On the western front, Lincang Path, the Great Yu National Teacher Pei Ju led an army of five hundred thousand that was cut down by nearly seventy percent by the Emperor Yuliang in the battle at Fenghuo Road at the end of August; on the eastern front, Dongyuan Path, an army of five hundred thousand led by the Grand Marshal of the Great Yu Military, Lin Xuangan, fell into an ambush by the Jizhou forces at Qingyutan at the end of August, with barely one-tenth surviving. It was heard that even Lin Xuangan himself had gone missing, his fate unknown.
Having lost a million soldiers, Great Yu, despite some residual strength from the Divine Dynasty, could hardly resist the two great Holy Lands at once, so it was not that Great Jin and Jizhou had become unable to attack, but rather, they might have grown cautious for fear of public outrage.
As the whole world expressed shock, all the unsettled regions around the world suddenly calmed down. The confrontation between the Demon Derivation Holy Sect and the Great Jin Dynasty in Fenzhou, which had seen minor frictions, ceased abruptly after this news emerged;
After a year of suppression, the internal strife within the Blood Spirit Holy Sect of Bingzhou, which had already been calming down slowly, settled completely with this news, and Li Shengyuan, with the support of some senior members of the Blood Spirit Holy Sect, successfully cleared himself of the accusation of massacring the other ninety-nine Saint Heir candidates, ascending to their throne and becoming the undisputed next Sect Master.
In Hedong, just like the other two regions, Long Guan and the Prefectural City, where there had been some minor conflicts, saw a month pass without a single skirmish after the news came out.
Not just the Holy Lands, but even the smaller factions stopped their infighting and no longer waged wars at will, and nearly all of the thirteen provinces were like this, except for a few unnoticeable places.

The entire world seemed to have fallen into an eerie atmosphere.
But even the ordinary people without cultivation could sense something terribly wrong in the air, let alone the well-informed Martial Artists, influential forces, and the prominent families and Earth Level celestial powers.
Everyone could sniff out seven characters from this atmosphere.
A storm is brewing on the horizon!
The calm before the storm was undoubtedly the most appropriate description for this moment.
Hou Yuxiao found out about this news in early October from Zhang Zhenwei, to be precise, Zhan Taiqing had sent someone to inform Zhang Zhenwei, who then told him. Filled with excitement, he thought the conflict in Hedong was about to begin, but contrary to expectations, the situation became even more peaceful. Zhan Taiqing also gave no orders to him, so he continued to stay in the Prefectural City, watching over the people of Leiyin Temple with Zhang Zhenwei.
It wasn’t until early November that Fourth Elder Hou Yujie finally brought him good news.
"Junior Hou Yujie, greets General Zhang, I’ve just come from Long Guan, and I bear a script from Master Fanyin, commanding me to bring my brother back to Long Guan, as she has matters to entrust."
Zhan Taiqing had finally remembered him...
After Hou Yuxiao saw the script from Zhan Taiqing that Hou Yujie presented, Zhang Zhenwei finally agreed to release him, even feeling a tinge of gratitude towards Zhan Taiqing. Bidding farewell to Zhang Zhenwei, he didn’t bother to pack his belongings, and promptly followed Fourth Elder, rushing out of the Prefectural City.
He had already wasted far too much time here!
