Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 743 - 330, Fang Yun stirs, with intense activity and urgency_2

Son-in-law?

Huangfu Xing took a moment to realize they were referring to Hou Yuxiao and immediately fell silent.

"Lin Xuangan's scheme, Shi Tian might not have failed to see through it, but even he can't resist the temptation of the Holy Sect Treasure Map. Next, Leiyin Temple will likely fall into a long period of difficulty. It all depends on whether Shi Tian has the means to turn the tide!"

The three demons created by Pei Ju, one of them, Tai Xi, has already died. Not only has it not caused any significant damage to Great Jin, but it has also increased the strength of the Yuwen father and son. Long Yu and Ni Han will probably not be able to make any big waves. Lin Xuangan probably realized this and was willing to take out the Holy Sect Treasure Map to stir up trouble.

In the next eight years, Great Jin's main focus will still be on the two demons, Long Yu and Ni Han. If the Wuwei King doesn't seize this opportunity to establish a foothold in Xuzhou, once Great Jin is free to act, he will be in trouble. The war in Hedong should escalate immediately, the Ziqing Holy Sect should also make a move. Once the Jiaozhou army acts, Xuzhou, Qing State, Yangzhou and Yanzhou, the entire Southern Five States will be affected.

Eight years later, after Great Jin has slain the three Immortal Grade demons and the Yuwen father and son, along with the other four Saints, their strength will definitely far exceed our imaginations. Now, each of the Eight Great Sacred Lands is in danger, all trying their best to expand their territories and increase their strength, hoping to have the capital to confront Great Jin in the future.

The era of the great struggle has now truly arrived!

Sikong Yue's words caused Huangfu Xing's expression to tremble slightly.

As it happened, he was the one who tore up the Jin Capital alliance back in Tongling.

He had already foreseen the arrival of the era of the great struggle, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. In just five short years, four hundred years of peace were completely shattered, and according to Sikong Yue, the next eight years would see wars erupting in all of the Eight Great Sacred Lands, aside from Great Jin.

What will the world be like after eight years, when Great Jin officially enters the fray?

"Let the Yue Qianhan Faction take action as well, we must take down Xi Yun Dao within this year!"

Hearing Sikong Yue's order, Huangfu Xing's face showed surprise as he said, "If the Yue Qianhan Faction acts, what about the Demon Derivation Holy Sect? Relying on just Tong Wudi alone, it would be difficult to guard the north. If the Demon Derivation Holy Sect doesn't attack Xue Kong Dao and instead turns towards us, wouldn't that be disastrous?"

"Don't worry, the Demon Derivation Holy Sect won't have time to deal with us."

Huangfu Xing looked skeptical, but seeing Sikong Yue obviously not planning to change his mind, he didn't dare to advise otherwise and just nodded in agreement, "As you command!"

"Shi Tian is clutching onto that Treasure Map Fragment and unwilling to let go; Xiayuan Dao is bound to face more trouble. We need to withdraw from Bingzhou as soon as possible, take down Xi Yun Dao City, and prepare for the next stage of the war. Once we've swallowed Bingzhou, we can then turn our attention to Xiayuan Dao. As long as we can reap enough benefits, after eight years, my Rakshasa Holy Sect will have the capital to go against Great Jin head-to-head!"

Huangfu Xing nodded, showing an indisputable look.

Leiyin Temple is not without opportunities. Although the Eight Great Sacred Lands are all eyeing the Treasure Map Fragment in Shi Tian's hands, no one wants to be the first to approach him. After all, Shi Tian is still a Martial Dao Saint, and pushing him too hard could lead to mutual destruction, which would benefit others. Great Jin's initiative to safeguard the eight fragments, explicitly stating that whoever obtains Shi Tian's fragment can access the Holy Sect Treasure Map, might not just be a strategy to expel the wolf and swallow the tiger.

It can be foreseen that in order to protect himself, Shi Tian will definitely navigate between the Eight Great Sacred Lands to find a scapegoat. After all, by eliminating any of the Holy Lands, he can then approach Great Jin with the fragment he has.

"With such a good opportunity, Hexi will not stand idly by!"

When Sikong Yue mentioned Hexi, Huangfu Xing fell silent again. After a long time, he finally said, "The eastern part of Hexi is stable for the time being, and the western part, Leiyin Temple, has fallen into trouble again. We can only move towards the south if we want to take action, the Nanjiang Temple, isn't..."

"Right, Wuyuan is two years old this year, and he should be starting cultivation soon, right?"

Sikong Yue didn't let him finish his words and suddenly inquired about something else.

Hearing the name Wuyuan, Huangfu Xing's face clearly showed a look of tenderness, and he nodded in response, "The little master will be two years old in October, and at that time, a special divine blessing ceremony can be held for him to undergo Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Opening, after which he can begin cultivation."

"I remember the Nanjiang Temple has a barrier called Chi Li Heaven. After Miao Clan children turn six, they can enter to utilize the Primordial Blood to refine their body's foundations, maximizing the improvement of their cultivation talent. When Wuyuan turns six, send him there!"

Huangfu Xing looked astonished and, gazing at Sikong Yue above, asked in confusion, "The Primordial Blood in Chi Li Heaven, wasn't it already depleted over four hundred years ago? The Miao descendants themselves have not been sending their children in, have they?"

"The Primordial Blood may be depleted, but it can be regenerated. When the time comes, just send Wuyuan there."

Huangfu Xing slightly lowered his head, a flash of astonishment in his pupils, but still he nodded respectfully, "As you command!"

Four hundred years ago, the Nanjiang Temple was not like it is today, hunkered down in Chi Li Prefecture. Back then, nearly half of the territories of Xiayuan Dao and Zhongyuan Dao were under the Temple's control, and what they relied on was the Primordial Blood left by the Miao ancestors in Chi Li Heaven.

At that time, children of the Southern border who were over six years old and had outstanding talents were all sent to the Chi Li Heaven Barrier to refine their physiques with the help of Primordial Blood. The children who emerged from there had terrifyingly high aptitudes. With these continuously cultivated geniuses, the strength of Nanjiang grew stronger and stronger, reaching its peak to the extent that it was almost on par with the Holy Lands.

Unfortunately, the Temple at that time was too prideful, and even harbored thoughts of conquering the Rakshasa Holy Sect to the north. Sect Hierarch Sikong Xingzhou was not one to indulge them. After decades of warfare, not only did he heavily repel the Temple back to Nanjiang, but he also expanded the territories of both the Xiayuan and the Zhongyuan Roads by twofold. In the end, he even cast a specific technique, directly sealing off the Temple's Chi Li Heaven and cutting off any hope of their resurgence, weakening the Temple for over three hundred years.

By sending Wuyuan there, can the Primordial Blood actually regenerate? What does that mean?

Although Huangfu Xing did not understand what Sikong Yue truly meant, the prospect of using Primordial Blood to enhance the young master's cultivation talent was something he welcomed.

......

On the early morning of the sixth day of June in the New Yu Era 1327,

Behind the main hall screen of Hou Mansion, Hou Yuxiao held Zhao QingXue's hand, observing her slightly awkward demeanor, chuckled softly, and gave her an encouraging look. Holding her hand, they slowly emerged from behind the screen to the forefront of the main hall.

Below the main hall, over a hundred people who had been sitting upright all stood up from their chairs in unison upon seeing Hou Yuxiao and his companion emerge, and respectfully bowed to the two above:

"Yucheng, pay respects to elder sister-in-law."

"Yuling, pay respects to elder sister-in-law."

"Yu Jie, pay respects to elder sister-in-law."

"Yuduan, pay respects to elder sister-in-law."

"Azure Dragon Association Commander Gao Cheng, pay respects to the madam!"

"Zhaoyang Escort Agency Commander Liu Jianghong, pay respects to the madam!"

"Xuanting Bureau Commander Bai Yunfan, pay respects to the madam!"

"Mi Yao Bureau Commander Li Sanyun, pay respects to the madam!"

"Hou Clan commanders, Hou Fei, Hou Ying, Hou Cun, and Hou Chen pay respects to the madam!"

"Red Flame Army Commander Gao Changlong, pay respects to the madam!"

"Red Flame Army Commander Gao Changhu, pay respects to the madam!"

"Red Flame Army Commander Gao Changbao, pay respects to the madam!"

......

All gathered in the great hall at this moment were individuals who held sway over the family matters, ranging from the core of the Hou Clan, including the four individuals, Hou Yucheng, the four commanders, to the higher echelons of the Hou Clan's military, including the closely allied Shen Clan and Xiong Yun Gang, to the Lower Hou Sect and those holding mid-level positions in various institutions. They were all present, amounting to over a hundred people.

None of these hundred-plus people were below the Grandmaster Realm in cultivation. Their united voices were impressive, and although Zhao QingXue wasn't frightened, she was somewhat surprised, yet the overriding emotion was joy.

The title of "madam" might sound aged, but it confirmed her close connection with Hou Yuxiao, and she gladly accepted it in her heart.

"Enough, let's not scare the lady. You're all here today because there is something we need to discuss. Old Fifth, you start!"

Seeing Hou Yuxiao help her out, Zhao QingXue's face instantly beamed with sweetness. Yet, as she heard the content of everyone's discussions, shock appeared on her face. She turned to look at Hou Yuxiao, intending to leave, but he firmly grasped her hand.

"From now on, you and I are one family. You may listen to affairs of the clan!"

Hearing Hou Yuxiao's psychic message, Zhao QingXue turned to look at him. A touch of emotion quickly showed in her eyes. Looking back over the past twenty-plus years, she couldn't find any moment that gave her more of a sense of security than this one.
