Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 561 - 262. The Abnormal Jiang Siblings
```
"Two children with Three Levels of Body Opening, what could be unusual about them?"
"They arrived last month, and seeing the Family Head's token, I let them stay in the courtyard. At first, I didn't think much of it, assuming they were just two kids with decent talents."
Hou Cun paused here, then continued, "But ten days ago, when the demons attacked the city, everywhere was struck except for our courtyard. Not a single mark of demon damage could be found. At first I was clueless, thinking we were just lucky, but later some brothers mentioned that they had seen a demon approach, only to strangely retreat at the courtyard's entrance. That's when I started to doubt those two."
Hou Yuxiao immediately grasped Hou Cun's implication and asked, "At that time, besides them, was there anyone else in the courtyard?"
"My brothers and I were all busy dealing with the demons, so it's certain that only the two siblings were in the courtyard at that time. The brother who saw it had coincidentally been fighting a demon nearby, and just happened to notice."
Hou Yuxiao furrowed his brows, immediately understanding why Hou Cun suspected the two. Most demons feed on the blood and energy of robust martial artists, and with the assault on Ferry Port City involving a thousand members of the demon crowd, even the weakest of them were in the Gang Qi Realm. Two children, with Three Levels of Body Opening, unprotected, would stand no chance of survival if encountered by the demons.
"Do they have any artifacts on them?"
"I considered that, but when they arrived, they had nothing on them. Unless they were Great Grandmasters who had opened the Di Que Acupoint, hiding something in our presence would be almost impossible."
Hou Yuxiao understood Hou Cun's point; only a Great Grandmaster who had opened the Di Que Acupoint could store a small number of items in their Sea of Consciousness. These children, so young, certainly couldn't hold the cultivation of a Great Grandmaster.
"Family Head, could those children be demons in disguise?"
Hou Yuxiao immediately shook his head. He had dealt with Maiden Hong and the demons too many times and was very familiar with their aura. It was impossible for those two siblings to be demons.
But Hou Cun wouldn't lie to him; Hou Yuxiao was sure of that.
With a trace of caution in his heart, Hou Yuxiao temporarily changed the subject, "From now on, keep a closer eye on them. Let's not talk about this for now. I want to ask you, what was the strength of the demons that attacked that day? In your opinion, does the Lu Family have a way to cope?"
At the mention of the demons, a trace of fear flashed in Hou Cun's eyes, but after a moment of careful thought, he replied, "The leaders were two fifth-ranked demons, one a Black-Patterned Poisonous Serpent and the other a Gold-Backed Giant Crocodile.
The serpent could ascend to the heavens and dive into the sea, and possessed the Toxic Miasma Divine Skill that could cover a ten-mile radius. Even my cultivation at the Qi Gathering Second Realm, Gathering Evil Phase, would be affected by the miasma. My movements would slow, and a martial artist with Ten Layers of Body Openings would likely only hold on for a bit over a hundred breaths. If they couldn't break free swiftly, death was certain.
The Gold-Backed Giant Crocodile was slightly less powerful, but its huge body, once fully extended, measured two miles in length. That day, when facing enemies, it didn't use its Divine Skills, but just its body alone was enough to sweep through the Lu Family's army.
They also brought more than a thousand aquatic demon crowd members, extremely wily creatures. If they failed on land, they would immediately flee into the water, leaving us helpless."

Hou Yuxiao's expression grew grave as he asked, "What about the Lu Family?"
"The Lu Family, along with reinforcements from the Giant Abyss Gang, currently number over seventy thousand. Lu Kaiwu is now the strongest person in Ferry Port City, with a cultivation of the Qiányáng Realm. Ten days ago, it was thanks to him alone that he held off the serpent while the other Grandmaster Realm experts joined forces against the crocodile demon. Our group, in coordination with the Lu Family's army, managed to repel the demon crowd. If there had been any problems in any link, it is likely that no one in Ferry Port would have survived."
"From what you're saying, if those two demons return, the Lu Family is sure to lose?"
Hou Cun first nodded, but then seemed to remember something and said, "Right, it's not just us and Han Feng and others who have been conscripted by the Lu Family. Nearly thirty thousand people from different forces, as well as wandering martial artists, are all helping. Two days ago, Lu Yuanfu said the Lu Family would send reinforcements. I don't know if he was just saying that to keep us on their side and help, lying on purpose, or if it's actually true. If the Lu Family really does get reinforcements, then it's hard to say!"
After hearing this, Hou Yuxiao didn't speak, his eyes reflecting deep contemplation.
Seeing his expression, Hou Fei immediately guessed, "Family Head, we've just fallen out with Han Feng and the others, and they probably won't join us anymore. Even if we want to help the Lu Family, our small number of people won't have much of an impact, right?"
Lu Yuanfu was definitely counting on Hou Yuxiao's help; this was evident from their meeting. But what he really valued wasn't the Hou Clan's few people, but rather Han Feng's fourteen Grandmasters and the seven thousand soldiers from the Brahman World Purifying Army. Zhan Taiqing had made a public order that day, and Lu Yuanfu was aware of it; that's why he was so courteous.
"Han Feng and his people won't leave; rest assured!"
A confident smile appeared on Hou Yuxiao's face. He now knew full well the extent of that woman's influence within the Rakshasa Holy Sect. Han Feng and the others had been following her for so long; they wouldn't dare to defy her orders. In fact, the previous confrontation with Han Feng and the others was telling enough.
If they dared to defy Zhan Taiqing, there was no need to threaten him; they could've simply left with the more than seven thousand soldiers of the Purifying World Army.
