Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 646 - 293, My lover is coming (Please support!)
Outside Guangling Prefecture City, war banners flapped in the wind.
The city walls revealed an eerie and shiny black hue, which was the color of blood that had coagulated and been dried by the wind, both bizarre and terrifying.
Around the prefecture city, a thick, nauseating smell of blood wafted through the air.
On the four walls of the prefecture city, there hung a flag representing the Wanjian Holy Sect with golden dual swords, and on each wall, there roughly stood an army of more than a hundred thousand soldiers ready for battle. However, given that their armor was silver, it was evident that they were not the elite forces of the Wanjian Holy Sect, but the ordinary Silver Armored Army from Xuzhou.
Looking out from the walls of the prefecture city, an extremely horrifying sight unfolded.
The ground was battered and strewn with severed limbs and broken weapons, the corpses with wide-open furious eyes were piling up, and the earth, much like the city walls, had an ominous hue of black and red. The holes sporadically seen on the ground were filled not with water, but with thick, crimson blood. On the bodies of the dead, the armor varied from silver to gold, blue, and even black and gold, and there were even bright yellow monks' robes.

Outside the city wall was dreadful enough, but the view into the wild forests along the Official Road was even more chilling, with corpses stacked like ridges and blood and bones like forests. Human heads were scattered like felt, and human skin and flesh had decayed into dust. Human tendons entwined around trees, dry and lustrous like silver. It was truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, indeed foul-smelling and repugnant.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
In the dense forest, a rodent spirit approximately the size of an adult emerged from underground. It first scanned its surroundings with its crimson eyes. Seeing no one around, it revealed an excited and greedy expression, charging hungrily towards a corpse that had not yet dried, and with a few swipes of its sharp claws, it sliced open the body and immediately began to feast.
Hiss...
Suddenly, an arrow whistled from afar, piercing straight through the giant rodent's head from one side to the other, taking with it a mass of stinking white and yellow matter. Stricken with such a severe injury, the giant rodent still struggled violently, using its sharp claws to dig into the ground, attempting to burrow and escape. Unfortunately, another flurry of arrows came flying and completely shattered its skull.
"The young master's archery is unparalleled, I am in awe!"
More than ten soldiers wearing black and gold armor emerged from the dense forest, with the leading young man clad in golden red armor, his eyes carrying an inherent arrogance. Seeing the corpse of the giant rodent on the ground, his face showed no pleasure despite the praises of his followers. Instead, he looked frustrated and agitated.
The follower nearest to him seemed quite astute, and seeing his young master's displeased demeanor, quick-wittedly spoke with disdain, "The young master's martial prowess is exceptional, yet you can't join the battle but instead are tasked by the Great King to do something as mundane as battlefield cleanup. This subordinate truly feels it's beneath you, and I can't fathom what the Great King is thinking."
Slap...
"Is my foster father someone for you, a cur, to judge?"
Although that person had the cultivation of a Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm, he was sent flying over ten meters by a slap from the young general. He didn't dare show any anger, and after getting up, he immediately knelt before the young general, displaying an attitude of extreme fear.
"Slap yourself twenty times."
"As you command!"
Upon hearing the order to slap himself twenty times, the man breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned and immediately knelt on the ground, smacking his own mouth fiercely, counting out loud to twenty before he stopped. After finishing, he did not dare stand up but looked at the young general.
"Remember this lesson well, and if you dare to gossip again, I will kill you without hesitation."
"Thank you, young master, for sparing my life. This subordinate will certainly remember this!"
Hou Hong looked back at the others and declared, "Don't think that cleaning the battlefield is unimportant. After months of fierce battle, the prefecture city has seen over a hundred thousand soldiers killed or wounded. These soldiers were Martial Artists who, in their lifetimes, were stronger than ordinary people, and their resentment in death is multiplied accordingly.
The blood and essence spilled across the ground coupled with the resentment reaching the heavens are most conducive to the breeding of demons. If we do not promptly clear the emerging demons from the battlefield and a powerful inherent strange species emerges, it would be our own misfortune. Not to mention, it's not just us cleaning; the forces of The Righteous Path in Xuzhou are also at work. What's there to complain about?"
"We shall bear the young master's teachings in mind!"
Those who had been on the battlefield knew these truths well. Although more than ten people sensed the insincere tone in Hou Hong's words, they all nodded respectfully in agreement. After all, in front of this young master with unpredictable moods, the twenty loud slaps just now served as a lesson.
Hou Hong, of course, felt not as he had claimed. Himself a young master from a royal mansion with the cultivation of the Yuan Dan Second Realm, he was not leading troops into battle but was assigned to clean the battlefield. To say he had no grievances against his foster father Hou Jing would certainly be false.
"The Three Righteous Factions have joined forces, and after nine months, they still couldn't take down Guangling Prefecture City. My foster father must be getting anxious by now. Wanyan Lie and Tuoba Zun's armies of two hundred thousand have not yet agreed to join the siege, clearly showing no intention of putting in effort. My foster father is constrained on both fronts, needing to reserve part of his five hundred thousand troops to guard against them, making the prospect of taking the city even more remote. It looks like we'll have to wait for reinforcements from Lingyuan Prefecture before we can succeed!"
Hou Hong looked up towards Guangling Prefecture City to the east, his mind racing with thoughts, his eyes filling with a dark shadow as he was about to signal his men to continue searching for demons on the battlefield.
Suddenly, a shout came from behind.
"Hou Hong!"
Hou Hong turned his head and saw a Golden Winged Xuanhu about fifty feet long hovering midair, and the one calling him was a middle-aged man in golden armor riding on the Xuanhu's back. Seeing that person, Hou Hong immediately knelt down and bowed, "Hou Hong pays respects to the Messenger!"
