Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 559 - 261. Lu Yuanfu’s Low Profile_2
Hou Cun clearly understood the question and subtly pointed behind Hou Yuxiao.
Hou Yuxiao turned around and saw Han Feng and others not far away, his expression immediately stunned.
"Before the Family Head returned, Master Fanyin had visited once. She mentioned she still had important matters in the north, instructing Han Feng and the others to temporarily follow the Family Head's orders. There were many witnesses present then, including Lu Yuanfu, which is why he acted like this."
......
"Are you saying that Zhan Taiqing left orders that the over seven thousand people from the Holy Church heading north, including Han Feng and over ten Grandmasters, will all have to listen to me next?"
Seeing Hou Cun nod in confirmation, Hou Yuxiao was completely dumbfounded.
These were no ordinary troops; they were over seven thousand soldiers from the Rakshasa Holy Sect's Brahman World Purifying Army. Not to mention these soldiers—just Han Feng and the thirteen Grandmasters at a minimum in the Master Third Realm represented a formidable force.
Zhan Taiqing, what scheme are you concocting this time?
Hou Yuxiao's first reaction was caution. There's no free lunch in this world, especially since he had just spent nearly two months with Zhan Taiqing and knew this old devout woman quite well.
"Master of Hou Family, may I ask if the Master has specified when she will return to Yongzhou?"
Before he had finished speaking, Han Feng and over ten Grandmasters walked over. Han Feng asked, trying to probe for news about Zhan Taiqing from him.
Thinking that these more than ten people might have to listen to him, a slight smile appeared on Hou Yuxiao's face. Then, he shook his head and said, "The Master did not inform me. It seems she still has matters to attend to in the Divine Capital. May I ask, gentlemen, what are your plans next?"
Hou Yuxiao's straightforwardness evidently took everyone by surprise. They exchanged glances, a trace of darkness crossing their expressions. They were all distinguished Grandmasters, and blindly following Hou Yuxiao's lead was naturally hard for them to accept. However, these were Zhan Taiqing's orders; they dare not defy them.
After pondering for a moment, Han Feng said, "Does Master of Hou Family still have matters here? News has already spread about the Divine Capital. The north is about to plunge into chaos. It's best we head back to Yongzhou sooner to avoid getting caught in it."
"Indeed, even Baiming Ferry has been attacked by demons; who knows what chaos will unfold in the north next. We should hurry back."
"Yes, Master of Hou Family, we should return sooner rather than later."
"I too think we should go back."
"Go back, of course, go back. What's there to do by staying here?"

......
Hearing the crowd below starting to make decisions for him, Hou Yuxiao's brow furrowed slightly and he caught Han Feng's gaze, his expression gradually darkening as he spoke softly, "Since you all have matters to attend to back home, then please, go ahead!"
Everyone's expressions first froze, realizing that Hou Yuxiao was rejecting their suggestion to return, and their faces quickly darkened, staring at him maliciously.
"Master of Hou Family, don't blame me for speaking out of turn. It's good to be kind-hearted, but the two demons at Baiming Ferry are no trivial matter. Rashly getting involved might bring great disaster. I think it's better to head back to Yongzhou together to ensure safety..."
As Han Feng finished speaking, Peng Yuhu and others all stared at Hou Yuxiao, vaguely releasing their Grandmaster realm aura, their faces clearly showing a hint of threat.
Two Great Grandmasters, three Great Grandmasters of the Fourth Realm, plus eight Grandmasters in the Yuan Qi Phase, all of their auras piling together. Hou Yuxiao was still okay, but Hou Fei and the others beside him immediately felt immense pressure, their bodies starting to tremble slightly.
This was the beginning of an attempt to force a coup. Zhan Taiqing was playing this game, right? Ostensibly letting these people listen to him, in reality, they were there to check on him, to quickly escort him back to Yongzhou—definitely no mistake here!
Hou Yuxiao believed he had seen through Zhan Taiqing's intentions, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. Looking at Han Feng and others, after a moment of silence and initially showing restrain, his expression displayed a hint of fear just as Han Feng and others thought he was about to compromise, his diaphragm suddenly sank. A powerful aura burst out from his Heavenly Gate Acupoint, immediately enveloping those before him.
"What, you think you can intimidate me just because you're strong?"
Caught off guard, Han Feng and the others instinctively stepped back, then quickly realizing and looking at the bright light at Hou Yuxiao's Heavenly Gate Acupoint, their pupils filling with shock and disbelief...
Two months, Great Grandmaster!
Everyone present, including Han Feng, vividly remembered that at the end of last year, when boarding at Hedong Port, Hou Yuxiao had the Cultivation of a Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm. Back then, Great Jin's Demon Path New Star Ranking had only listed him as a Master of the Third Realm. From then, hearing from Peng Yuhu about Hou Yuxiao's breakthrough to Great Grandmaster, they were already profoundly shocked.
Another breakthrough in just two months?
Among all present, the one most shaken was undoubtedly the Prefectural Governor Peng Yuhu of Xingnan. Knowing Hou Yuxiao from four years ago when he defeated Cheng Yue, to two years ago defeating Ding Dian, to last year defeating Ding Buhai. In just five years, the shocks Hou Yuxiao had brought him were more than he had experienced in his entire life to date.
"The Master's orders have nothing to do with Mr. Hou. If you all feel Mr. Hou is unfit to command you, you may turn around and leave now. The over seven thousand soldiers of the Brahman World Purifying Army can also be taken away. I assure you, no pursuit will follow. Please, feel free!"
