Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 765 - 339, Chi Li Heaven Barrier, Start War_2

"Master of the Hou Family jests, but the battle for Bingzhou is at a critical juncture. The Sect Hierarch sent us here precisely to subjugate Nanjiang and secure our rear, getting Nanjiang to help keep an eye on Leiyin Temple and your Hexi. Otherwise, what else could it be for."

Hou Yuxiao burst into cold laughter upon hearing this and shook his head, "That's what I thought before, but upon arriving at Qingmiao City and seeing that the Rakshasa Holy Sect didn't dispatch a single soldier, I knew it couldn't be possible.

After all, Nanjiang has nearly three million troops. With you, Duanmu Hong, and six Grandmaster Realm could-be's, plus a wet-behind-the-ears kid, you want to subdue them? Impossible. Even if Qing Xuan is Sikong Yue's man and cooperates with you, getting the other Si Miao to obey willingly is also impossible!"

"Protector Duanmu, I'm giving you one chance. If you dare to play tricks on me again, I will truly take action. You should know that I, Hou Yuxiao, am not afraid of threats. Don't say you'll regret this terribly one day. Even if Sikong Yue were standing right here today, I, Hou Yuxiao, would still kill without hesitation!"

As he said his last words, Hou Yuxiao, while speaking, slightly increased the pressure on Zhantai Wuyuan's right hand. Of course, it was "slight" relative to Zhantai Wuyuan's strength. If it had been truly 'slight,' probably even a Master Realm Martial Artist would not have withstood it.

Zhantai Wuyuan's breathing became labored, and his face soon turned red from suffocation. Yet, he was tough enough to bear the pain without uttering a word, just staring intently at Hou Yuxiao. Clearly, today's encounter had caused him to utterly despise the Lord of Hexi from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Zhantai Wuyuan's pained expression, Duanmu Hong's face didn't show worry. Instead, he looked up at Hou Yuxiao with a progressively complex expression. He tried to speak several times but swallowed his words back down for some reason. After a while, he sighed, showing a hint of compromise, and finally spoke:

"Since that's the case, I might as well tell you! The Sect Hierarch sent us here this time for the Chi Li Heaven Barrier of Nanjiang!"

"The Chi Li Heaven Barrier... wasn't it already destroyed by Sikong Xingzhou?"

Hou Yuxiao was first startled, then his expression turned grave. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly looked up, face filled with astonishment, "The reason you joined forces with Qing Xuan to kill in Heigu was to repair the Chi Li Heaven Barrier?"

When Hou Yuxiao escaped from Qingmiao City, he had already overheard the conversation between Heigu and Qing Xuan from behind. Combining that with the moment he captured Zhantai Wuyuan, and the fact that Duanmu Hong was not present, on the way back to Chengkang County, he had already guessed that Duanmu Hong's absence must have been because he was joining forces with Qing Xuan to attack Heigu. He just hadn't sorted out the reason.

Now, he finally understood why.

Clearly, repairing the Chi Li Heaven Barrier required the life of Heigu!

No, it might be more than just Heigu's life.

Hou Yuxiao looked up, noticing the increasingly ugly expression on Duanmu Hong's face. His eyes sparkled slightly as he said with a light chuckle, "Lord Duanmu, repairing this Chi Li Heaven Barrier must require more than just the life of Heigu, right?"

"Hou Yuxiao, what I needed to tell you, I've told you. Now release him!"

Duanmu Hong's face darkened, his voice becoming somewhat eerie.

This scene, witnessed by Hou Yuxiao, further confirmed his inner speculation. He lowered his head to ponder for a moment, looking directly into Zhantai Wuyuan's eyes filled with hatred. A mischievous thought crossed his mind, and he deliberately showed disdain as he provocatively said, "Little fellow, let me give you one last lesson. When you're caught by someone you can't beat, no matter how much you hate them, you'd better behave nicely for them. You're lucky you ran into me today. If it were anyone else, your little head would be gone. Got it?"

The patronizing tone of Hou Yuxiao's lecture only made Zhantai Wuyuan's heart seethe with more fury as he glared at Hou Yuxiao with his neck craned, the hatred in his pupils deepening.

Pity that he was too young. If he had been a decade older, Hou Yuxiao might actually feel a bit uncomfortable. But the boy was only six, with a chubby little face that still held traces of baby fat. His glaring didn't feel threatening to Hou Yuxiao; instead, it amused him.

"I asked you a question. Didn't you hear me?"

Hou Yuxiao's playful mood was piqued again by the boy's actions. He deliberately lowered his voice a lot, and even a hint of murderous intent seeped into his gaze.

The Hou Clan had encountered too many enemies up till now, with countless masters dying at Hou Yuxiao's hands. Furthermore, he had participated in every major battle the Hou Clan had been through, so the blood on his hands was not light.

From the moment Hou Yuxiao captured Zhantai Wuyuan until now, he had never released a hint of murderous intent, which probably was also why Zhantai Wuyuan dared to take risks dealing with him.

At this moment, even though Hou Yuxiao let out only a slight hint of murderous intent, it brought a heavy sense of fear to Zhantai Wuyuan's heart. Realizing that Hou Yuxiao's gaze was still on him, he finally couldn't help but speak tremblingly. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"I remember."

The murderous intent on Hou Yuxiao's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a satisfied smile. He paid no heed to Zhantai Wuyuan's terribly ugly expression as he casually tossed him towards Duanmu Hong, chuckling, "That's a good boy. Now scram!"

Duanmu Hong hurriedly caught Zhantai Wuyuan and carefully checked him over. Turning back to look at Hou Yuxiao, it looked like he wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, he remained silent. He simply took Zhantai Wuyuan and flew away to the southwest.
