Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 503 - 238, Hedong, the Demon Sect is bound to be defeated!

The Wuwei King had six adopted sons, and the most favored was this second eldest, Hou Zhan. Reflecting on the words of that servant at the Spring River Restaurant, and now looking at the remnants of Hou Zhan, which had turned to flying ash and bones no longer existing, both Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yujie felt a deep chill in their hearts.

That servant had no reason to lie to them, meaning that the favoritism of the Wuwei King towards Hou Zhan was almost a public acknowledgment. Yet, the sight before them of the Wuwei King killing Hou Zhan, such a resolute and decisive act, was indeed very real.

This could only mean one of two things, either the outside world’s conjectures about the Wuwei King were all wrong, or the Wuwei King’s previous favoritism towards Hou Zhan was all an intentional act.

Either way, this was enough to indicate that the Wuwei King was no simple figure!

Moreover, Hou Zhan’s reaction right before his death, showed he clearly could not believe that he would strike him down so mercilessly. It was just that phrase, "Adoptive father, is it you," seemed like a sentence that had not been finished...

Hou Yuxiao’s brows slightly furrowed, looking at Hou Zhan who had already dissipated into nothingness, he no longer pondered what he might have wanted to say.

"Taoist Priest Mo, are you satisfied with the way this king handled it?"

Hearing the Wuwei King utter those words, and seeing Moxuzi frown in response, Hou Yuxiao realized that Moxuzi’s position in the Ziqing Holy Sect was far beyond his imagination.

The Wuwei King, who possessed the strength at least of the Master Realm, had no need to show such an attitude in front of Moxuzi, who only had Qiányáng Realm cultivation. The only reason for such behavior could be one thing, that Moxuzi had a high level of say in the Ziqing Holy Sect, so high that even the Wuwei King had to consider his thoughts.

In that case...

Hou Yuxiao’s gaze towards Zhao Qingxue suddenly became much hotter.

"Brother Hou has been so righteous to exterminate his own kin. As a humble priest, I have nothing to say. However, I do hope Brother Hou can restrain his subordinates. I wish not to see today’s events repeated!"

Hou Yuxiao’s expression became extremely weird at the moment because he actually detected a threatening tone in Moxuzi’s words.

A threat?

"Rest assured, Taoist Priest Mo, this king promises there will not be a second time."

The voice that came from the golden phoenix carriage, though incredibly steady, still felt full of a profound willingness to compromise to Hou Yuxiao’s ears. No, there was even a hint of flattery in it!

Moxuzi?

A Martial Cultivator who has just broken through to the Qiányáng Realm in the Yin Yang Holy Realm?

On what grounds?

As thoughts raced through his mind, Hou Yuxiao suddenly sensed a lethal gaze directed at him. He followed the source of the gaze slightly upwards and as he caught sight of the mystical beast figures pulling the golden phoenix carriage, the hair on his body stood on end. He immediately lowered his head, no longer daring to keep looking up. His entire being turned silent as a cicada in winter, standing still, not daring to move.

The Wuwei King!

The one staring at him was the Wuwei King, Hou Jing!

If it was just a simple gaze, Hou Yuxiao wouldn’t have reacted so, but he vividly felt the air around him suddenly grow stagnant. A vast and majestic aura was continuously compressing around his body, far more powerful than that of anyone else he had ever encountered.

Hou Yuxiao had seen many strong figures, such as Ji Yanzhi, the great Confucian barely short of breaking through to the Sub-saint level; Jing Tianyu, the Heaven-sealing Sword Honorific from the Wanjian Holy Sect, who could sever rivers with a single strike; the Southern Medicine Master Buddha from Leiyin Temple; and Wuxin the Taoist Master from the Ziqing Holy Sect. Even figures renowned across the world for their immense strength like Left Protector Huangfu Xing from the Rakshasa Holy Sect, he had laid eyes on.

But without exception, none gave him the sense of oppression that this Wuwei King now did, which meant what?

Could the Wuwei King have a cultivation beyond the Master Realm?

Hou Yuxiao felt his back drenched with sweat. He didn’t know what the cultivation realm beyond the Master Realm was called, nor did he have time to ponder about it. His mind was filled with tension because he clearly felt an intent to kill from the Wuwei King.

A deep... intent to kill.

Why does he want to kill me? For what reason?

Does he think I caused Hou Zhan’s death, or is it because I witnessed him just now groveling before Moxuzi, feeling unable to save face and wishing to silence me?

With his head lowered, Hou Yuxiao continued to pretend to be calm, but his mind was in turmoil, ceaselessly trying to come up with a strategy. He was aware that if Hou Jing truly wanted to kill him today, probably no one present had the strength to stop him.

Not even Moxuzi would be an exception.

What to do?

"Master, Elder Brother Hou has shown his dedication to The Righteous Path and has made it clear to me that he is determined to lead the Hou Clan away from the Demon Sect and join our Ziqing Holy Sect. The Holy Sect is expanding its influence in the Hedong Region and needs people. We might as well..."

As Hou Yuxiao’s heart raced, nearly sensing the breath of death, a fragrant breeze entered his nostrils. All the pressure he felt before suddenly vanished, and the stagnant space around him returned to normal in an instant. Although the cold sweat on his back was still present, relief flooded his heart.

It was Zhao Qingxue, standing in front of him.

Watching Zhao Qingxue’s back, Hou Yuxiao felt somewhat dazed for a moment. Hiding behind a woman might seem like a disgraceful thing for a man, but at that moment, Hou Yuxiao felt no shame, only a celebration of having narrowly escaped death.

Compared to death, saving face didn’t matter at all!

A Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist, who has opened the divine platform, would not err in sensing killing intent. Hou Yuxiao was certain, Hou Jing had just shown a genuine intent to kill him, whether it was for the reasons he guessed or something else. This Wuwei King, Hou Jing, truly wanted him dead.
