Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 552 - 258, The fall of the Divine Capital, the destruction of Great Yu_2
```
"What does this mean?" Hou Yuxiao's heart already had an inkling of the answer, and his face turned slightly pale.
"What does it mean, hmph, I'll tell you. The reason these demons are still suppressed in the wilderness is that the Divine Dynasty's seal of Great Yu has not completely dissipated and is still suppressing these demons!"
"The Divine Dynasty's seal of Great Yu, wasn't it already divided up by the nine Holy Lands, along with all the other territorial powers?"
"Indeed, it was divided, but each family still venerates Great Yu as the Supreme Sovereign of the World, so the seal hasn't completely faded. Everyone is still a subject of Great Yu, and that is to keep the seal from dissipating."
If Great Yu were truly to fall, all seals in the world would become unowned, and each family could only use their own fortunes to bolster those seals. Considering the current situation of the nine Holy Lands, even if the Great Jin Dynasty is the strongest, their combined fortunes could, at best, only deal with weaker Second-Rank demons. If a First-Rank Demon were to descend, it would be a catastrophe for the world!

Hou Yuxiao felt a tremor in his heart and asked, "During the era of the Divine Dynasty, weren't most of the demons of the world already slain? The Second-Rank, First-Rank, this kind of level of demons, even if there are any, there couldn't be many, right..."
"You know about the Karmic Positions of demons above the Third Rank, don't you?"
"Third-Rank indestructible, Second-Rank immortal, First-Rank everlasting..."
Hou Yuxiao swallowed hard, a look of horror flashing in his eyes; he could roughly guess what Zhan Taiqing was about to say next.
"The meaning of indestructible, immortal, and everlasting, you should know. Do you really think the Divine Dynasty completely annihilated these demons back then? It was merely suppression. And as far as I know, only half were suppressed, while the other half were merely driven beyond the borders. They refrain from entering Shenzhou for fear of the Divine Dynasty's seals, but they always lurk outside the borders, eyeing the situation in Shenzhou. Once the seals fail, those peerless great demons will definitely return in force. By then, it won't be a trouble that a few uprisings like those in Tongling can resolve, but the whole land of Shenzhou will turn into a living hell..."
A Third-Rank demon equals a Half-Saint of Martial Arts, a Sub-Saint of Confucianism. For Second-Rank demons, Martial Saints and Confucian Saints would have to take action. As for First-Rank everlasting demons, what realm would one have to be in...
"No, no, since Master knows about these things, then other Holy Lands must also be aware. If they deliberately destroy Great Yu knowing that Shenzhou would become a living hell, why would they dare to do so?"
Although filled with horror, Hou Yuxiao quickly caught the loophole and retorted to Zhan Taiqing.
"Why dare? What else could it be? Nothing more than human greed is never satisfied, blinded by their desires. "
The Great Jin Dynasty thinks that after annihilating Great Yu, they could quickly unify the Eight Desolations and revive the glory of the Divine Dynasty;
Qinjian Villa feels that they are firmly situated in the north, waiting for the right moment. Once Great Jin annihilates Yu, they plan to gather the other seven Holy Lands to unite against Jin and strive for supremacy of the world;
The other seven Holy Lands, including our Holy Church, also harbor their own schemes. Some want to ally with one side, while others are secretly preparing for war, dreaming of the Divine Dynasty, regardless of the lives of the people."
Zhan Taiqing spoke a great deal, almost finishing discussing the thoughts of each Holy Land before turning back to look at Hou Yuxiao with a mocking sneer in his voice, "Your thoughts must be similar to those of these Holy Lands. Essentially, you and they are of the same kind; you should understand them, right?"
...
At this moment, Hou Yuxiao's mind and spirit were greatly shocked, and he didn't pay any attention to the sarcasm in Zhan Taiqing's words. If it really was as he said, then if Great Yu were to fall and the demons bring chaos, the first to suffer would definitely be...
"Seeing your expression, you must have realized it. Indeed, those Holy Lands and the great territorial powers, as long as they don't encounter powerful demons, would still be able to resist using unowned seals. But for powers like yours, which are just entry-level, especially your Hou Clan, you would definitely be the first to suffer. Your Hou Clan has just taken over the Hexi Four Counties. I suppose these days, as the Family Head, your heart has been content, right?
"With the Four Counties spanning thousands of miles and adjacent to the Tongtian River, wilderness, and waterways, if any strong demon appears, with your current strength and without a Divine Dynasty seal, there would be only one way out for you: death!"
...
Hou Yuxiao already knew that the banquet in the capital was about the pattern of the world, but he thought that at most it was just a game of power between the nine Holy Lands. It could affect the Hou Clan, but there shouldn't be any direct connection between the two.
However, after learning about the hidden demons from Zhan Taiqing, he became completely stunned; his mood also plummeted to rock bottom, and he became even more anxious about what was happening in the capital region of Gyeonggi.
If it was as Zhan Taiqing said, once the Anti-Jin Alliance failed and Great Yu was completely destroyed, demons would run rampant across the world immediately. By then, any power without an unowned seal to suppress the demons would instantly become cannon fodder, and the current Hou Clan was among them.
The current Hou Clan is still far from the standards of an Earth Level power. The requirement of having two hundred thousand Sect Members is fine; the Hou Clan is not far off from that. The main requirements are the second one: there must be a Grandmaster of the Yin Yang Holy Realm in residence. The highest level of Cultivation within the Hou Clan is Hou Yuxiao himself, a Great Grandmaster of the Heaven Level, which is still a whole realm away from the Yin Yang Holy Realm.
Furthermore, meeting the standards is one thing, but the main issue is to find a way to obtain a seal from the Divine Dynasty, which is the most difficult part.
On the northbound ship earlier, Han Feng mentioned that at the end of the Divine Dynasty, the seals were split into over a hundred portions. Now, with the world's ten Holy Lands, twenty-two Heaven-level families, and over eighty Earth-level powers, that adds up to over a hundred families. So, it means that there might not even be any unclaimed seals left.
