Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 554 - 259, Chaos Begins to Emerge
Hou Yuxiao sent a hurried message to Zhan Taiqing, keeping his head low as he made his way to the Yunding Gang's headquarters. However, the moment he reached the entrance of the settlement, without even entering, he saw the situation inside and his heart immediately tightened.
The Yunding Gang's headquarters was surrounded inside and out, the entrance alone was blocked by at least a dozen Master Realm Martial Artists, with many more armored and armed warriors patrolling the perimeter.
Seeing the soldiers' uniforms all embroidered with a golden arrow, Hou Yuxiao's face became alert. Having spent two months in Wangchuan Tao City, he understood clearly that the golden arrow was the emblem of the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect.
He didn't enter right away but pretended to pass by and walked in the other direction instead, his mind already racing with plans for escape.
What's the situation? Does the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect know that Zhan Taiqing is hiding here?
"Guild Leader Li, please come in. Someone is waiting for you!"
But before he could leave the entrance area, an elderly man with white hair and a robust build walked toward him, indicating the door with a smile and an unmistakable gesture.
Hou Yuxiao didn't listen to the elder but instinctively glanced behind him, calculating his chances of escape. But before he could assess the situation, an immense and fierce aura like the blazing sun gradually rose around the old man.
A Qiányáng Realm expert!
"The elder is too kind. I'll go in now."
Realizing that escape was impossible, Hou Yuxiao didn't dawdle; after responding, he immediately made his way inside the settlement, as the old man's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction and he promptly retracted his aura.
"This Thousand-Faced Handsome Man is quite sensible."

...
Clearing his mind as he complied, as Hou Yuxiao walked in, he quickly realized that barely after the eight men in black had left, the others had arrived. This meant that the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect had long been aware that he and Zhan Taiqing were hiding there.
According to Zhan Taiqing, the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect had allied with Great Jin to attack Jiuhua Dao. If so, the Sect was on Great Jin's side. It made sense for them not to cooperate with Qinjian Villa in capturing them.
But then the problem arose; Zhan Taiqing was a flagrant anti-Jin figure, and considering her status within the Rakshasa Holy Sect, she could potentially cause significant trouble for Great Jin. If the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect were allied with Great Jin, wouldn't capturing her now be an excellent way to earn favor?
The Yunding Gang was indeed tightly surrounded without any signs of a fight, indicating that there had been no conflict with Zhan Taiqing so far. Moreover, there was no commotion inside, signifying a peaceful situation since the arrival of the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect.
Taking into account the attitude of the Qiányáng Realm elder towards him, which was relatively courteous, it was a matter worthy of deep contemplation...
Despite being on Great Jin's side, they were unexpectedly polite to Great Jin's enemy.
"Is this the Thousand-Faced Handsome Man whose fame has spread across The World? Your Facial Transformation skill is indeed miraculous; even as a Sect Master, I can't detect any flaws. Impressive... truly impressive..."
Hou Yuxiao knew there were important figures from the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect in the main hall and didn't dare to test the aura there. As he approached the hall, a hearty voice came from inside. He looked up slightly and saw, apart from Zhan Taiqing, two other people.
He didn't recognize either of the two. The person on the left was dressed in a black robe with a covering over their head, making it impossible to discern their face, standing behind Zhan Taiqing; on the right was a burly middle-aged man in a yellow brocade robe with black silk trim, embroidered with a golden arrow, his conspicuously large hands being the most eye-catching feature. It was the same person who had greeted him.
The golden arrow, calling himself a Sect Master...
The name "Lei Ting (Thunder) Saint Hand Zhuang Feicheng" flashed through his mind, and Hou Yuxiao hurriedly bowed to the middle-aged man, saying respectfully, "Mr. Hou's minor reputation to have reached Elder Zhuang is an honor. Elder Zhuang's name as the Thunder Saint Hand has long echoed like thunder in my ears. It is a great fortune to meet you today!"
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Martial Artists of The World are numerous as scholars over the rivers. The strongest of the three lists in the Demon Path is the Giant's List, and in The Righteous Path, the highest is the Sky List, which includes only those in the Yinyang Boundary. Above that, the capable warriors in the Shattered Realm have no specific rankings.
After all, such capable warriors are transcendental beings who can stand against ten thousand elite troops, and even Holy Lands would not dare to offend them lightly. No one dares to compile any list to criticize them at will; that would be a death wish.
But this doesn't mean there isn't a distinction of strength among them; at least in terms of fame, there are significant differences, and the Thunder Saint Hand Zhuang Feicheng is one of the more renowned figures among the Shattered Realm abilities.
The Saint Heavenly Fist Sect is an Earth Level force. According to the rules of all states in The World, the cultivation requirement for a Sect Master is only at the Yinyang Boundary. However, Zhuang Feicheng possesses Shattered Realm cultivation. Moreover, the word 'Saint' in his title also indicates his extraordinary standing.
Facing such a dignitary, Hou Yuxiao naturally did not dare to be negligent.
He wasn't foolish; the Hou Clan had no connections with the Saint Heavenly Fist Sect, and he had no personal relations with Zhuang Feicheng. The only reason for such high praise was likely due to Zhan Taiqing's influence.
"There's no need for formalities. I've heard that it's thanks to young brother Hou that the Holy Maiden escaped danger this time. You have a boundless future ahead!"
...
The Holy Maiden?
Hou Yuxiao was momentarily startled but then quickly understood; Zhan Taiqing was the former Saintess of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, and Zhuang Feicheng, a person of his seniority, must be an old acquaintance, and such an address was not incorrect.
