Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 506 - 239. Return to Longguan Prefecture_2

"I don’t doubt Zhao Qingxue’s words. After all, she is the Sacred Land Successor. It used to be Gu Chenfeng and now it’s Hou Zhan. The way these two people covet Zhao Qingxue is enough to prove that her identity is extraordinary. The higher the status, the more insider information naturally known!"

He paused for a moment, dodging tree obstructions along the path, and furrowed his brow, "What I want to know is, what insider information does she understand to make such a judgment?"

Hou Yujie replied without hesitation, "It’s nothing more than the changes in Great Jin. Normally, with Great Jin’s support, the Demon Sect wouldn’t lose. Since the Demon Sect is bound to fail, it must mean that Great Jin isn’t helping. We saw it clearly in Yunmeng County; Ziqing Holy Sect has already mixed with the Wuwei King. Eight or nine times out of ten, that means Great Jin has gotten involved with The Righteous Path. Could it be... they are planning to join forces to trap the Rakshasa Holy Sect?"

Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly. Fourth Elder’s speculation had some merit, but it was based on the instinctive association of Wuwei King with Great Jin, and only after linking Ziqing Holy Sect with The Righteous Path, could such a conclusion be drawn.

First of all, whether Wuwei King is on the same side as Great Jin is still debatable. Furthermore, while Ziqing Holy Sect indeed belongs to The Righteous Path, the current situation is cloudy and unpredictable, and the relationships among the Holy Lands in different states of The World have become so complex that they can no longer be simply judged by principles of good and evil.

"Who do you think is the most feared among the top ten Holy Lands in The World today?"

Hou Yuxiao suddenly turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, it’s Great Jin!"

Hou Yujie barely thought before the answer came out spontaneously.

"If even you and I know it’s Great Jin, wouldn’t Bailu Academy, Leiyin Temple, Wanjian Holy Sect, and Rakshasa Holy Sect know as well? Their previous warfare in Hedong was just giving Great Jin an opportunity. Right now, their standstill in the Hedong Region is to prevent Great Jin from being distracted, allowing Wanyan Cheng to attack Zhongzhou peacefully. Great Yu has only Gyeonggi left. If Qinjian Villa and Great Jin push harder, Great Yu will be completely wiped out. If Great Yu is gone, who stands to gain the most from the current state of The World?"

This was a big question. After hearing it, Hou Yujie found his thoughts spinning. He tried to answer, "Including the Divine Dynasty era, Great Yu has dominated The World for over four thousand years. Even now, as just one Holy Land, it is still revered in people’s hearts as having the status of a Divine Dynasty. Our use of the New Yu Era calendar is clear evidence!

If Great Yu truly perishes at this moment, the most direct beneficiaries will of course be Qinjian Villa and the Great Jin Dynasty, who vanquished Great Yu. Indirect beneficiaries would be the number one Holy Land, the Great Jin Dynasty, followed by the other nine Holy Lands.

If we must specify who benefits at this point in time, let’s break it down: Holy Lands involved in the conflict in Hedong include Rakshasa Holy Sect, Wanjian Holy Sect, Bailu Academy, and the Quasi-Holy Land, Leiyin Temple. From what we see in Lingyuan Prefecture, the four Holy Lands engaged in battle, no matter the benefits, will not compare to the three Holy Lands that stand aside: Demon Derivation Holy Sect, Blood Spirit Demon Sect, and Haoran Holy Sect.

However, even these three Holy Lands have their own share of problems. Blood Spirit Demon Sect still suffers from the aftermath of the Saint Heir’s chaos; Demon Derivation Holy Sect, bordering Fenzhou, is constantly watched by Helian Ba’s million-strong army; Haoran Holy Sect, due to the Book Vein issue, is at odds with Bailu Academy and is thus struggling within The Righteous Path. Even if these three can lend a hand, they pose no threat to the situation in Zhongzhou.

Regardless, the gap between the other eight Holy Lands and Great Jin is substantial. Once Great Yu is annihilated, that gap may only widen further..."

As Hou Yujie spoke, he realized the implications, his expression changed slightly, and he asked in a grave voice, "Big brother, are you suggesting that Zhao Qingxue’s judgment might not mean that Great Jin is withholding support from the Demon Sect? If that’s the case, there could only be one possibility for the Demon Sect’s defeat: all six Holy Lands of The Righteous Path have united against Great Jin!"

Hou Yuxiao nodded slightly, but he still furrowed his brows. Even from what he had seen of the tip of the iceberg that Great Jin had revealed, the six Holy Lands of The Righteous Path joining forces could definitely compete with Great Jin, but he still had doubts about a sure victory.

Qinjian Villa, in the north of the River, is currently not in direct conflict with Great Jin, as both are targeting Great Yu. Yet, once they start attacking Gyeonggi, the two will inevitably clash;

In the south, the alliance of Great Jin and the Demon Sect against three Holy Lands plus Leiyin Temple is more than sufficient with just two Marquises and one Wuwei King. By that estimation, even adding Ziqing Holy Sect and Haoran Holy Sect, it seems at best they could only make Great Jin suffer a setback.

"Right, Zhao Qingxue said that the Demon Sect is bound to fail, not Great Jin!"

Something clicked in Hou Yuxiao’s mind, and a flash of insight sparked in his brain. His eyes lit up as he softly asked, "What would the outcome be if Great Jin doesn’t fail, but the Demon Sect does?"

Great Jin is unscathed, but the Demon Sect fails?

Hou Yujie pondered for a moment and replied, "Great Jin has allied with the Demon Sect this time with the intention of extending its reach to Hedong Xuzhou and then using it as a base to gradually erode and weaken the six states of The Righteous Path. If Great Jin loses, it will naturally have no chance at the Hedong Region!"

"That’s right, the Demon Sect attacked Xuzhou to demonstrate the prestige of a Holy Land and deter surrounding ambitions. Would they really be willing to serve as a stepping stone for Great Jin?"

Hou Yujie’s expression froze, and his thoughts became somewhat disordered. He frowned and said, "I’m a bit confused, big brother. Are you saying... the Demon Sect wants to lose?"
