Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 558 - 261. Lu Yuanfu’s Low Profile

"Halt, this is a military camp, no trespassing!"

Outside the temporary camp at the city center, Hou Yuxiao and his party were stopped by the guarding soldiers. Seeing the silver armor on the soldiers, each bearing the insignia of three water droplets, Hou Yuxiao didn't attempt to barge in; instead, he dismounted courteously and said, "I am Hou Yuxiao from Hexi, acquainted with your Second Young Master Lu Yuanfu. Please relay a message for me, brother."

The soldier, upon hearing the name Hou Yuxiao from Hexi, paused to think for a moment and then quickly realized who he was, his face showing a trace of fear, and suddenly, many soldiers crowded around them.

Seeing this, Hou Yuxiao was momentarily stunned, but he soon understood that in the eyes of these soldiers, the Hou Family of Hexi and he himself were thoroughly members of the Demon Path, and being wary of the Demon Path was only normal.

"Everyone, step back! Brother Hou, I am truly sorry, my subordinates are blind, please forgive us..."

Just as Hou Yuxiao was about to explain, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the soldiers, and a group of about ten people emerged from the camp tents, led by the Second Young Master of the Lu Family, Lu Yuanfu, with whom he had previously enjoyed a great conversation.

"Master of Hou Family!"

"Master of Hou Family."

"Family Head, you've finally arrived."

Among the more than ten people who came out with Lu Yuanfu, apart from Hou Cun, there were also subordinates of Zhan Taiqing, led by Han Feng, more than ten Grandmasters. Hou Cun seeing his own excited face was still understandable, but Han Feng and the others also took the initiative to greet him, which puzzled Hou Yuxiao.

When they had traveled north, Zhan Taiqing had been quite dismissive towards him, and so were her subordinates, including this group led by Han Feng, who had been indifferent towards him.

Moreover, although Lu Yuanfu's relationship with him was not bad, it wasn't to the extent that he had to apologize as soon as he came out. If they trespassed the military camp, the soldier's actions were considered devoted to his duty, which should be flawless. Lu Yuanfu, a direct descendant of an Earth Level power, was clearly overreacting.

Even, it was somewhat abject!

What was the situation?

Although many thoughts flashed through Hou Yuxiao's mind in an instant, he still composedly clasped his hands and said, "Second Young Master is too courteous. This is a military area, and it was my worry for my servant that led to the rash intrusion, which has nothing to do with this young brother."

"There's no need to speak for this person. Guards, drag him out and beat him ten times to serve as a lesson. If anyone dares to obstruct Brother Hou again, I will deal with them severely."

......

Hou Yuxiao's mind was extremely perplexed. He watched Hou Cun continuously signaling him with his eyes, and immediately began to suspect, hurriedly stretching out his hand to stop Lu Yuanfu, whispering, "There's no need for this, Second Young Master. I have just returned to Baiming Ferry, let me rest my feet for a while, and then I shall pay a visit later, shall we?"

Lu Yuanfu's face stiffened, but he nodded gently and smiled, "I forgot Brother Hou just returned. Go ahead and rest. By the way, my Third Uncle, Lu Kaiwu, has heard much about you, and is eager to invite you to dinner later, please honor us with your presence!"

"Certainly, certainly, just have someone notify me later, Second Young Master. I shall take my leave now, see you later."

Seeing Lu Yuanfu's attitude, Hou Yuxiao's suspicions about his own conjectures became even more firm. After he left, taking Hou Cun and the others with him, they immediately went to the location where he had been stationed with his sect members recently, starting to inquire about the situation as they walked.

"Lu Yuanfu wants my help to fight against demons, correct?"

Without any surprise that Hou Yuxiao could guess it, Hou Cun nodded and said, "Of course, those two great demons might bring the demon crowd back at any time. The Lu Family has a hundred thousand troops at Baiming Ferry, and there are another twenty thousand from the Giant Abyss Gang who came to assist. Seven days ago, that great battle took away at least about forty percent, and now only seventy thousand remain. The two demons lead at least a thousand aquatic demons, nearly ten percent of whom are Grade demons, and the rest, even the weakest, are enough to counter a Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm. With just these few men, they definitely can't hold off."

As expected, Hou Yuxiao slightly shook his head. Lu Yuanfu's abnormal reaction was clearly a request for help, and given the current situation encountered at Baiming Ferry, it was easy to guess.

A Grade Five demon equated to a Martial Arts Expert of Yin Yang Holy Realm. The Lu Family is an Earth Level force, and the Giant Abyss Gang an Earth Level force; soldiers could at most practice Earth Level Military Classics, thinking of simultaneously dealing with two Grade Five demons was a fool's dream, not to mention these two demons also brought thousands of aquatic demons along.

Once a demon reaches Grade, even the weakest Rank Nine demon equals a human Martial Artist in the Dan Embracing Phase, nearly ten percent being over a hundred, the remaining ninety percent, even the weakest, are enough to match a Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm. Based on the current situation, Baiming Ferry was definitely doomed.

"When the demons attacked the city, how many of the Zishu Faction's men did you lose?"

"About thirty percent, leaving just over a hundred men!"

That was still within an acceptable range. Hou Yuxiao slightly breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately furrowed his brows, puzzled, "Including your hundred men, I currently have at most four hundred people. What use can these four hundred people be? Does Lu Yuanfu really need to treat me this way?"

A hundred and twenty thousand troops couldn't withstand them, and although his four hundred men were all of Ten Layers of Body Openings cultivation, doubting their effectiveness was natural. Could it be that Lu Yuanfu saw something special in him? That didn't make sense either, as his own cultivation was just that of a Great Grandmaster, which didn't seem necessary for Lu Yuanfu.
