Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 766 - 339, Chi Li Heaven Barrier, Start War_3

"Hou Yuxiao, remember this, one day, I will kill you!"

"Then you'd better practice hard. Just don't die at someone else's hand too soon."

After Hou Yuxiao responded to Zhantai Wuyuan suspended in midair, he suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, and his expression gradually turned somewhat bizarre.

Zhantai Wuyuan's threat was fully anticipated by Hou Yuxiao, who was, after all, just a six-year-old child, spoiled by the Holy Church. Having suffered such great humiliation in Hou Yuxiao's presence, it was only natural for him to want to utter some fierce words before leaving, in a bid to regain a bit of face. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

What Hou Yuxiao had not expected, however, was that he, a grown man, would actually get into a quarrel with a six-year-old child. Not to mention their age difference, he, as the esteemed Lord of Hexi and a mighty broken realm ability user, was seen as a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao in the eyes of outsiders. Was he really arguing and getting upset with a six-year-old at the Seventh Level of Body Opening?

...

"Am I acting a bit abnormal today?"

Gao Changlong was suddenly startled by Hou Yuxiao's question, his expression perplexed as he did not grasp his meaning, standing in place and shaking his head in confusion.

Hou Yuxiao quickly shook off the thoughts in his mind and, noticing that Duanmu Hong had already flown far away, he sternly instructed the three Gao Family members behind him: "Send someone to notify Second Elder, tell him to hasten the march. You three, with the army, head south immediately!"

The three brothers of the Gao Family were invigorated and responded in unison, "We obey!"

Originally, Chengkang County had only a defensive force of one hundred thousand from Hexi. The three brought with them one hundred thousand from the Red Flame Army and two hundred thousand from the Zhaoyang Army, replacing all of the Hexi defenders. This was not for changing guards, but for an assault on Nanjiang, something they had been aware of even before arriving.

They just hadn't expected it to be this sudden!

"From Chengkang County to Hei Miao City in Nanjiang, there is a distance of two thousand seven hundred miles. With the pace of the Red Flame Army, it only takes half a day to arrive. If we want to stay in step with the Zhaoyang Army, then it would take at least a day and a half. Family Head, are we..."

Gao Changlong quickly got into the swing of things. With a grand army of three hundred thousand in Chengkang County—comprising one hundred thousand from the Red Flame Army and two hundred thousand from the Zhaoyang Army—if they march together at the pace of the Zhaoyang Army, it would indeed mean traveling at a slower rate. If he could lead one hundred thousand from the Red Flame Army ahead, then they could arrive much sooner.

Hou Yuxiao shook his head and said, "The military strength of Nanjiang is above that of my Hexi. We must not be careless in this battle. You lead these three hundred thousand men and march south in a normal manner, neither fast nor slow. Wait until Second Elder's reinforcements arrive from behind, and then we will make detailed arrangements together."

"We obey!"

The Nanjiang Five Miao Tribes, in total, have two million seven hundred thousand troops. If it weren't for internal issues, even if Hou Yuxiao were to deploy all of Hexi's forces, he couldn't guarantee a sure victory. Although there now appeared to be an opening, he dared not take any rash actions.

"The Rakshasa Holy Sect wants to repair the Chi Li Heaven Barrier. Judging from the situation, killing just Heigu won't be enough. It remains to be seen how many Sub-saints they intend to kill. Qing Xuan has already conspired with Duanmu Hong. It would be best if the Clan Leaders of the Hong Miao, Zimiao, and Baimiao tribes are all killed. That way, when Hexi moves in, the pressure will be much less!"

A glint of cold light flashed in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. He certainly wouldn't let Zhantai Wuyuan go for nothing. The Rakshasa Holy Sect had come to repair the Chi Li Heaven Barrier, and by letting Zhantai Wuyuan go, Duanmu Hong would surely continue back to Qingmiao City to cooperate with Qing Xuan in continuing to kill the Clan Leaders of the other three Miao tribes, which aligned with Hexi's interests.

"The Rakshasa Holy Sect expends such great effort to repair it; this Chi Li Heaven Barrier must be a valuable treasure indeed. Very well, Old Fifth is still in Qingmiao City keeping watch. If there's a chance, we mustn't just let the Rakshasa Holy Sect succeed with the Chi Li Heaven Barrier!"

Observing the troops in Chengkang County move about, Hou Yuxiao pondered incessantly...
