Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 775 - 343, Nanjiang Allied Forces

New Yu Era 1331, August 8th

Above Hei Miao City, a black singularity was rapidly spinning, dotted with fragmented patterns. Now and then, a surge of energy emanated from it, shaking the space within a several-mile radius, causing spatial cracks to appear before gradually healing under the rules of the cosmos, only to be shattered once more. This cycle continued without end.

Below, Hei Miao City was approaching stability. Although the civilians still dared not wander outside, moving freely within their homes posed no issue. Since yesterday, all they had to do was look up to see the singularity hanging midair, which had been there for a full day since the city's fall. Naturally, it had become the subject of conversation.

"What is that?"

"I heard from those Red Flame Army soldiers that it's their Family Head cultivating in the sky."

"Their Family Head... is that Lord of Hexi, Hou Yuxiao?"

"Right."

"Just his cultivation is causing such a disturbance; no wonder both Black Yan and Black Ting, the two clan elders, couldn't stand against his Hexi armies."

"The city has been taken, the Clan Leader is gone, and both elders are dead. I heard that more than 100,000 of the defending soldiers died yesterday, and the remaining 100,000 have all been captured."

"More than 100,000, are you joking? The city defenders who died in battle yesterday numbered at least 200,000. You didn't see the scene at North City. Just moving the bodies continued from yesterday afternoon until this morning, and considering those captured in the city today, there are at least about 250,000!"

"No, I heard it's over 300,000." freewēbnoveℓ.com

"The Hexi Army killed so many, what should we do? They won't kill us too, right?"

"They probably shouldn't; after all, we're just ordinary folk."

"Hard to say; I guess we'll have to wait until that person finishes cultivating in the sky…"

"Sigh!"

...…

High above, as Hou Yuxiao opened his eyes, the singularity behind him vanished abruptly. The surrounding shattered space healed for one last time then stabilized, eventually reverting to its original state.

"Big Brother, has your cultivation progressed again?"

Hou Yucheng sensed that Hou Yuxiao's cultivation had ended, and was the first to rush over. As he perceived his brother's aura, now stronger than before, his expression became visibly excited.

Hou Yuxiao nodded slightly, gently clenched his fist, sensing the cracks on the shattered singularity within him becoming denser, and felt a slight thrill in his heart.

The practice of cultivation at the Fragmentation Realm was a gradual process of breaking down the singularity. Once it was completely shattered, one could begin to condense the Star Sea Sacred Core at the dantian and then, with the fusion of the martial spirit on the Divine Platform, cultivate a thousand-foot martial spirit shadow. That would be the threshold of Sub-Saint of Martial Dao.

Therefore, the progress of cultivation in the Fragmentation Realm could be gauged by the number of cracks on the singularity; the more numerous they were, the closer one was to shattering the singularity completely. When the cracks completely covered it, that meant one was not far from becoming a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao.

He had broken through to the Fragmentation Realm last year, which wasn't long ago, but thanks to the Divine Lotus, his progress could be described as exponential, especially with directly absorbing the lifelong cultivation of two powerful beings at the Fragmentation Realm, an advantage that far exceeded a hundred or even several hundred years of hard cultivation.

"How is the situation inside the city?"

With his cultivation completed, it was time to arrange the army's next move. Hou Yuxiao, who had been cultivating for a full day, urgently inquired about the city's condition.

"Yesterday, the Red Flame Army suffered a total of 32,210 casualties. During the attack on North City, they killed 263,912 enemies. Later, when the Zhaoyang Army arrived, they cooperated with us to clear out another 57,921 enemies from the city. The Hei Miao Tribe's army of 500,000 has essentially disintegrated, and we have taken 180,000 prisoners, all currently detained in the city's great prison."

To kill 320,000 enemies and capture 180,000 while the Red Flame Army had lost just over 30,000 soldiers was indeed an impressive feat!

"The Holy Army Code is too important. No wonder Leiyin Temple has not become a Holy Land in over a thousand years. If my Hexi had a million Red Flame Army soldiers, even if a Martial Dao Saint himself came yesterday, I would have had nothing to fear."

Hou Yucheng's expression was exuberant. After all, he had personally led the charge to break through the city the day before. Having achieved such a result, he was brimming with confidence. However, he also knew that compared to the Red Flame Army, the Miao Clan's army of 500,000 was far inferior in terms of cultivation, combat strength, and the deployment of warhorses and powerful crossbows.

Of course, the most critical element was the Holy Army Code.

When the 300,000-strong Red Flame Army joined formations and cultivated together, unleashing the second technique of Red Flame Rampage – Scorching Heaven Boil Sea – it was even enough to threaten a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao, let alone the two powerful beings, Black Yan and Black Ting, and the 500,000-strong Hei Miao army with inferior cultivation.

"Big Brother, why don't we quickly follow up the victory after a short rest? While our morale is high and there are not many martial artists left in the city, we can keep 100,000 Zhaoyang soldiers to maintain control. The other 300,000 Zhaoyang and 270,000 Red Flame soldiers can enter the battle immediately after recuperating."

Hou Yuxiao shook his head slightly and said, "The message of the Hei Miao army's defeat must have already spread. If Duanmu Hong could arrive here early to report, the other four Si Miao tribes probably know as well. They are aware that we have taken Hei Miao City, but we know nothing about their situation. With the enemy hidden and us exposed, it's not wise to act rashly!"

Hou Yucheng immediately understood Hou Yuxiao's implication and surmised, "Big Brother, are you waiting for them to attack us?"

Hou Yuxiao nodded, a hint of cold light in his eyes: "That would be best. Defending from a city is far simpler than laying siege to one. Having slaughtered over 300,000 from Hei Miao, they should come to us if they have the slightest pride, especially since we engaged only 300,000 soldiers in the assault. Together, the remaining four Si Miao tribes of Nanjiang still number 2.2 million. Even though they know ours are 300,000 elite soldiers from a Holy Land, they shouldn't be afraid, right!"
