Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 514 - 242, Hexi Hou Mansion_2
Reflecting on the past year and more of experiences, Cheng Yunye felt as if he were dreaming.
A year ago, the Longxiang Cheng Family was annihilated by their enemies. He and his sister, Cheng Yundie, barely escaped death. When they arrived in Tongling County, they learned about the Qinglong Token and decided to spend all their savings to buy one. They hired an assassin from the Qinglong Association to avenge the Cheng Family.
Thinking back on this matter, Cheng Yunye couldn’t help feeling that it was absurd. Looking back at the perilous Rakshasa Festival from the year before, with demons rampaging through the city, he still felt a chill. Had it not been for their good fortune in encountering the Fifth Young Master, not to mention buying the Qinglong Token, even keeping their lives would have been uncertain.
After that event, Cheng Yunye realized that before having actual power, even if he had money, avenging his father was nothing but a foolish dream. The key was to possess strength. Thus, after much deliberation, he and his sister decided to join the Hou Clan.
This decision was not made on a whim. Most importantly, their lives were saved by the Fifth Young Master, and the Hou Clan had shown them kindness.
Secondly, after the chaos caused by the demons, the Hou Clan taking charge of Tongling had become a certainty, making joining them the best choice.
Lastly, although the Hou Clan was only considered a third-tier power, both siblings were Martial Artists with a cultivation at the Seventh Level of Body Opening or higher. Joining the Hou Clan, they would certainly be taken seriously.
It was only after joining the Hou Clan that Cheng Yunye realized he knew nothing about the strength of the Hou Clan. He had assumed that although the Hou Clan had two Grandmasters, Hou Yuxiao and the Fifth Young Master, Hou Yuduan, it was after all still a third-tier power. He thought the other warriors wouldn’t be very strong. However, after learning the truth, he was stunned.
Apart from the Family Head and the Fifth Young Master, at that time, the Hou Clan had at least fifty Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm and over a hundred Warriors of the Tenth Level of Body Opening. As for warriors like himself and his sister, with the Seventh Level of Body Opening or higher, there were over a thousand...
The Cheng Family was also a third-tier power. Cheng Yunye knew well that a normal third-tier power couldn’t possibly have this scale. While stunned, he also felt incredibly excited that he and his sister could join the Hou Clan because now that they were part of the Hou Clan, a stronger family meant better safety and opportunities for development.
But looking back now, two years ago was just the beginning!
After the chaos in Tongling, the Family Head, Hou Yuxiao, along with the Holy Church, attacked Wanyang County. Since that moment, the development of the Hou Clan had skyrocketed like a rocket.
From Tongling, they attacked Wanyang, took down Yangping, and even his own former territory, Longxiang County, had fallen. Of course, the main effort had definitely been from the Rakshasa Holy Sect,
but the role played by the Hou Clan couldn’t be underestimated. Crucially, the newly conquered Hexi Three Counties seemed to be managed by the Hou Clan as if it were tacitly allowed by the Holy Church. Even today, these three prefectural cities and all their counties are still governed by the Hou Clan.
Moreover, ever since the Hou Clan publicly declared the founding of Hexi Prefecture, everyone living in the Four Counties, whether ordinary folk, Martial Artists, or even some lesser powers, had clearly understood that from now on these four counties would be under the Hou Clan’s control.
Today, the Hou Clan controls one prefecture and four counties, with over 100,000 subordinate warriors. There are more than 400 in the Gang Qi Realm, over 7000 Warriors of the Tenth Level of Body Opening, and those with at least the Fifth Level of Body Opening comprise nearly half, over 50,000 individuals.
Considering all this, Cheng Yunye shook his head slightly. His experiences were limited, but he understood some information about significant powers, and with the current strength of the Hou Clan, they could almost compare to first-class powers; they couldn’t possibly still be a third-tier power.
A first-class power must have Yuan Dan Realm warriors, which the Hou Clan currently did not possess. However, being a soldier of the Red Flame Army, he knew very well that the Hou Clan’s maximum potential was formidable. Not to mention Yuan Dan Realm warriors, perhaps even warriors from the Yin Yang Holy Realm...
Not to mention the experts from the upper and lower segments of the Hou Clan, just the fifty thousand soldiers of the Zhaoyang Army and the five thousand Red Flame Army would be enough to sweep the Hexi Four Counties. As long as the Holy Church doesn’t interfere, the four counties of Hexi are under Hou Mansion’s control, and even the ordinary powers of Xingnan Prefecture wouldn’t dare to interfere, probably only the Xiong Yun Gang would dare to challenge the Hou Clan!
The great war in the east continued, and given the relationship between the family and the Holy Church, holding significant military power should mean deploying troops to participate in the battle. Yet there is no sign of the fifty thousand troops moving.
Our Red Flame Army, too, has been secretly training in the empty Baiye County, and the importance of the Red Flame Raging Waves Holy Army Code must not be revealed. Yet the entire army hiding to train and not allowing any outsiders near starts to raise questions.
The relationship between the family and the Rakshasa Holy Sect might not be as good as imagined. Secretly training so many private troops, can the family be intending...

The more Cheng Yunye thought, the more alarmed his gaze became. He dared not ponder further. If someone as simple as him could think of these matters, over the other five thousand brothers of the Red Flame Army surely others had thought of them too. Yet everyone tacitly respected the family rules, indicating they had accepted it.
In these chaotic times, such arrangement by the Family Head was not unexpected. They were all skilled Martial Artists. Besides strength, they sought wealth and fame, both of which the Hou Clan could provide, and with evident high potential, they were willing to stick with the Hou Clan!
