Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 553 - 258, The fall of the Divine Capital, the destruction of Great Yu_3
The Hou Clan sought a Seal Fragment to become a force with a territory; they either had to annihilate an Earth Level power or be fortunate enough to obtain an unclaimed insignia. The latter completely depended on luck, while the former, for the current Hou Clan, was no different from courting death.
Thus, Hou Yuxiao felt utterly dispirited in an instant. On the one hand, he worried about the imminent demons, and on the other hand, he was anxious about where the Divine Dynasty insignia for the Hou Clan would come from.
After much thought, Hou Yuxiao could only come up with two solutions:
One was to head north to the Divine Capital. After all, Great Yu had fallen from the Divine Dynasty and was the original holder of the Divine Dynasty Seal. No one knew better than they did about the whereabouts of those broken Seal Fragments. But now, the Divine Capital was a dragon's lair and tiger's den. Hadn't Zhan Taiqing said that all the masters of the Ten Great Sacred Lands were there? He, an Earth Level Great Grandmaster, was seeking to fish in troubled waters, which was tantamount to seeking death.
The second was to rely on Zhan Taiqing, or more precisely, the support of the Rakshasa Holy Sect behind her. Knowing that Zhan Taiqing's status within the Holy Sect was on par with the Sect Hierarch, Sikong Xingzhou, Hou Yuxiao's thoughts became lively.
If the Rakshasa Holy Sect supported them, and the Hou Clan exerted themselves a bit more, annihilating an Earth Level power might not be impossible.
What was more crucial was that he was currently with Zhan Taiqing.
This was a golden opportunity that was ripe for the taking.
Although Zhan Taiqing loved to hit people, through their daily interactions over the past two months, Hou Yuxiao gradually got to know her temperament. As long as he was careful with his words, went along with her wishes, and didn't resist when hit, usually Zhan Taiqing wouldn't go too far. Moreover, as his performance improved, so did Zhan Taiqing's attitude towards him.
On January 20th of the New Yu Era 1325, the day the banquet in the Divine Capital was supposed to start last year, passed without incident. Of course, with Wangchuan Road City more than ten thousand miles away from the Divine Capital, even if something big had happened, it would have taken at least three to five days for news to arrive.
Every day, Hou Yuxiao would venture out under the guise of Li Tiangao. Apart from gathering information, he also kept a constant watch on the situations at the Sifang City gates. It wasn't until four days later, on the 24th of January, that he noticed the aura of the masters near the city gates had finally disappeared.
Knowing that those men in black had left, Hou Yuxiao's heart did not feel any joy; instead, his expression turned even more somber. The purpose of those eight men had been to block Zhan Taiqing and prevent her from going to the Divine Capital. They had known the two of them were hiding in the city, and by guarding the gates they intended to keep them trapped. Their departure, what did that signify?

It naturally meant that the outcome had likely been decided in the Divine Capital!
The outcome of Great Yu's Anti-Jin Alliance, had it succeeded or not...
Hou Yuxiao was eager to know the answer, so much so that he even forgot to inform Zhan Taiqing that the eight men in black were gone, and they could leave Wangchuan Road City. However, with Zhan Taiqing's level of cultivation and considering her injury had almost completely healed, even if he didn't tell her, she should already be aware of the situation.
On January 25th of the New Yu Era 1325, the day after the eight men in black left, news reached Wangchuan Road City!
Five days ago, on January 20th of the New Yu Era 1325, at the banquet in the Divine Capital, only four of the Sacred Lands showed up – Ziqing Holy Sect, Haoran Holy Sect, Bailu Academy, and Rakshasa Holy Sect. Initially, eight were supposed to come, but only half made it, and the Anti-Jin Alliance fell through.
Emperor Yuwen Dongdu of Jin, alongside Emperor Wanyan Cheng of Yuliang, appeared with the fury of thunder, slaying Emperor Yu, Jiang Bufan, and with the army following close behind, they broke through the Divine Capital. All 3,762 members of the Great Yu Imperial Family were executed by Great Jin, the Divine Capital was overrun, and Great Yu met its demise.
When Hou Yuxiao heard this news, like everyone else, his Mind and Spirit trembled violently, but he barely managed to maintain his composure, lowering his head to walk back to Yunding Gang, preparing to inform Zhan Taiqing first.
Once this news spreads, the entire World will surely be shaken!
