Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 715 - 319, Hou Yujie amazes everyone with his skills_2
The soldier had an epiphany in an instant. After figuring out the key problem, his expression became even more agitated.
......
Hou Clan's Main Hall
Hou Yuxiao was leisurely sipping his tea without any hurry, his eyes lowered in a contented manner, completely indifferent to more than ten people glaring at him angrily.
"Master of Hou Family, no matter what, Master Yu disappeared in your Hexi, and judging by Master Yu's strength, only you would have the capability to make him vanish. Saying you know nothing and expecting us to let it go is impossible!"
"With the disappearance of Master Yu this time, the Hou Clan of Hexi cannot shirk its responsibility!"
"Our Sect Master came to Hexi specifically looking for the Master of Hou Family, and now there is no news from him, while you say you know nothing; do you really think all of us from the Feiyun Sect are fools?"
"Feiyun Sect is a first-class power of Xuzhou Jiangdong Path at the Earth Level. Our Sect Master disappearing silently in Hexi is no small matter. If the Master of Hou Family knows of Master Yu's whereabouts, please inform us early to clear the misunderstanding with Jiangdong Path."
Ding...
Hou Yuxiao gently placed the teacup on the table, producing a crisp sound. He calmly looked at the person who spoke last, stared at him for more than ten breaths which made that man start to avoid his gaze, then stood up from his chair, faced everyone, and spoke with a light laugh:
"They say it's difficult to withstand the anger of many, I never took it seriously before, but seeing all of you today, I've learned it's indeed the case. Dragging the entire Jiangdong Path to pressure me, it seems that if you don't see Yu Xianyuan today, are you planning to overturn the Hou Family?"
Hou Yuxiao's somewhat deep rhetorical question made everyone's expression slightly change. There were thirteen people present, with the highest cultivation among them being Yu Xiankai, Deputy Sect Master of Feiyun Sect, at the peak of the Qiányáng Realm. The remaining twelve people included nine at the Yuan Dan Realm and three at the initial stage of the Qiányáng Realm. This strength, though not weak anywhere, was still not enough for the Hou Clan of Hexi.
Last year, during the battle at Longxiang Ferry, the three families of Hexi defeated Leiyin Temple. When news that Hou Yuxiao alone battled against the Wufa Master circled around, initially no one believed it. But as a year passed, and with Leiyin Temple neither debunking the rumor nor attacking Hexi, many people began to believe that this event was most likely true.
Being able to battle alone against the Wufa Master, Hou Yuxiao's cultivation might be undefined, but his combat power was definitely at the peak level of the Xuanyin Realm. With these more than ten people wanting to stir trouble in the Prefectural City, the stronghold of the Hou Family, it was obviously not enough.
However, these thirteen people daring to question Hou Yuxiao also had some backing, besides Yu Xiankai, the remaining twelve people were the heads of the first-class forces native to the Jiangdong Path.
These thirteen represented all the major forces of Jiangdong Path.
This made their influence substantial.
The Feiyun Sect, a first-class force, together with twelve other local first-class forces, represented a combined power not weaker than an ordinary force at the Heaven Level. This was the source of their confidence.
The Hexi alliance was also strong, but after all, it only integrated four first-class powers. Hou Yuxiao, no matter how strong as an individual, and the Hou Family, no matter how formidable as a clan, were still far from competing against the entire Jiangdong Path.
Although Hou Yuxiao's countering question had a deterring effect, after the thirteen recovered, a slight sneer appeared on their faces.
The alliance of thirteen families overturning the Hou Family was not impossible.
"This time the entirety of Jiangdong Path has come out. Don't tell me, Master of Hou Family, you think we came here to joke with you? The matter of Master Yu must be explained by you today, it must!"
Yu Xiankai could hardly keep his anger in check now. Among the thirteen present, each was several times older or even ten times older than Hou Yuxiao, but since they entered, Hou Yuxiao had remained in the highest position, his attitude one of superiority, not putting them in his eyes at all.
Especially that unperturbed demeanor while drinking tea earlier, which made him itch with hatred. Now that he finally had a chance to burst out, he naturally couldn't hold back any longer and directly gave Hou Yuxiao an ultimatum.
He had to give an explanation... he must...
Although in Hou Yuxiao's heart, there was no clear division between the Righteous Path and the Demon Path, from the standpoint of regional unity, Xuzhou was obviously much stronger than Yongzhou. Supposing Yu Xianyuan's incident had occurred in Yongzhou, it would have been a matter solved within their own area. Not taking advantage while you're down was already considered good, expecting help was simply a luxury.
Xuzhou was different. As Yu Xiankai's resounding words fell, the other twelve leaders of Jiangdong Path forces collectively stepped forward.
Almost simultaneously, they released their cultivation auras, instantly forming a formidable aura and overwhelmed towards Hou Yuxiao.
"Who dares to run wild in my Hou Family, seeking death!"
Suddenly, a rather cold and stern voice rebuked, causing Yu Xiankai and others to momentarily freeze, then their expressions darkened as they all turned around with unfriendly looks on their faces.
Hou Yujie had just returned to the clan and hadn't even dismounted yet; behind him, a hundred Black Feather Guards also stood ready. Outside the Hou Family's Main Hall, there was a spacious plaza that could easily accommodate a hundred riders.
Although there were no changes on the faces of Yu Xiankai and company, the realization of the cultivation levels of these hundred riders still shocked them.
All one hundred had cultivation above the Gang Qi Second Realm, with over thirty percent at the Grandmaster Realm. The leader, a young man in dark red robes who appeared to be under thirty, actually possessed a Yuan Dan First Realm cultivation.
Yu Xiankai needed only a moment to recognize who the young man was. The reputation of the Five Tigers of Hou Clan now in the world was no less significant than that of his Feiyun Sect. He looked at Hou Yujie, his expression slightly chilling, then no longer hid the anger in his heart, and charged forward with a shout.
"Inexperienced youth, you dare to bark in front of this old man, seeking death!"
Yu Xianyuan, with cultivation at the peak of the Qianyang Realm, suddenly made his move, something neither Hou Yuxiao nor the twelve people beside him expected.
However, it was Hou Yujie, the first to react.
A trace of cold light flashed in his eyes, and from his Sea of Consciousness, a blood-red longsword flew out into his hand. Suddenly, the hundred Black Feather Guards behind him also drew their longswords, their auras fully unleashed, violently confronting the assaulting Yu Xiankai.
The combined cultivation of over a hundred people instantly overwhelmed, and though it was unrealistic to say Yu Xiankai had no response, he was after all a warrior at the peak of the Qianyang Realm. A great sun surfaced behind him, instantly overshadowing the aura of Hou Yujie and his hundred men, and he continued his relentless charge toward Hou Yujie, his right hand brandishing a longsword aimed directly at Hou Yujie's neck.
Clearly, he intended to kill...
The cold light in Yu Xiankai's eyes grew more intense. Hou Yujie, with just a Yuan Dan First Realm cultivation, and even with those hundred Black Feather Guards, could not stop him. If he could kill Hou Yujie in front of Hou Yuxiao, the feud between Jiangdong Path and Hexi Alliance would be firmly established.
Yu Xiankai didn't care about the disappearance of his elder brother Yu Xianyuan; in fact, he was more worried that Hou Yuxiao hadn't killed Yu Xianyuan. If Hou Yuxiao really was forced to release Yu Xianyuan, then his chance of transitioning from Deputy Sect Master to Sect Master would be gone.
If he could infuriate Hou Yuxiao and deepen the rift between Jiangdong Path and Hexi Alliance, the position of Sect Master of Feiyun Sect would be his, and the first-class forces in Jiangdong Path would rely even more on Feiyun Sect, perhaps even uniting Jiangdong Path under him...
With these thoughts raging in his mind, Yu Xiankai's actions became even faster. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
What he didn't notice was that Hou Yuxiao had been calmly watching him the whole time, until Yu Xiankai was almost upon Hou Yujie. Hou Yuxiao then exchanged a glance with Hou Yujie, seeming to have received some signal, the hand he had just raised now slightly lowered again.
"Kill me, with your ability, hmph!"
As Hou Yujie spoke, his pupils contracted, a floating Yuan Dan appeared behind him, his Divine Origin pouring out, and his entire aura surged. The longsword in the air suddenly drew a striking trail of blood before Yu Xiankai even reached him, stabbing forward first.
Whoosh...
This sword strike, cannot be described as powerful, only eerie!
Where the sword edge met the blood trail, just at this blood trail, was a bit long...
When the blood trail and Yu Xiankai's sword edge collided, they extended more than ten miles out of the hall, a pure blood-colored Sword Intent suddenly spread throughout the hall, emitting a "buzz" sound.
Hou Yujie retreated more than ten meters, which wasn't strange.
But Yu Xiankai, he also retreated three meters...
Instantly, everyone present was stunned!
"The true meaning of swordsmanship, no, not just swordsmanship, what is the origin of this sword?"
Yu Xiankai's pupils flashed with shock, looking at the Spiritual Artifact longsword broken into two pieces in his hand, then up at Hou Yujie, and at the sword in his hand, his face full of disbelief.
