Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 777 - 344, The Holy Ancestor of the Nanjiang Five Miao Tribes, Ni Han

This trip to Nanjiang, for Hou Yuxiao, the greatest gain so far wasn't the conquered Hei Miao City, but that his personality had become even more cautious.

Especially when faced with some critical decisions.

If Zhantai Wuyuan, a mere six-year-old child, could plot against him, not to mention these old foxes, one shrewder than the next, even though he sensed that Hong Ju was truly severely injured, and even his words matched 80 percent of his own speculation, Hou Yuxiao still dared not fully trust his words.

Letting Hong Ju stay in Hei Miao City while he himself, with the token, went to investigate Hong Miao City seemed like a mere proposal but was in fact a test; if Hong Ju did not agree, insisted on following, or directly requested Hexi's troops, then it was highly likely a deceit.

Luckily, Hong Ju agreed!

Hou Yuxiao was basically certain that what Hong Ju said was the truth, but he still had to check for himself. Hexi had only brought over 700,000 troops this time, and already over 30,000 Red Flame elites were lost in Hei Miao City. Considering the enemy still had at least a million-strong army, he had to be cautious. If he rashly sent out troops and fell into a trap, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Hong Miao City was to the southeast of Hei Miao City, about a hundred and twenty li away. Hou Yuxiao, eager to confirm the situation, bid farewell to Hou Yucheng and Hong Ju, and broke through space to step into the void, reaching his destination in less than ten minutes.

The scene Hou Yuxiao expected to see, Bai Tong leading the Baimiao army to attack Hong Miao City, was absent. Instead, the entire Hong Miao City was in a state of alarm. Hou Yuxiao, not hiding his tracks, was immediately discovered by a Broken Realm expert within the city as soon as he arrived.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man, not releasing his full aura. Seeing Hou Yuxiao's Shenzhou attire, he clearly had his speculations. With a trace of goodwill, he clasped his fists and said, "May I ask if you are a brother from Hexi?"

"Are you Hong Ju's son, Hong Kui?"

"Indeed, it is I!"

It wasn't that Hou Yuxiao was exceptionally clever, but Hong Kui was too similar in appearance to his father, Hong Ju. Hou Yuxiao directly pulled out the red token given by Hong Ju, threw it into Hong Kui's hands and then asked, "Baimiao City hasn't made a move?"

Hong Kui shook his head and replied, "They haven't come, and the scouts on the road have not detected any traces of a large army's movements. Baimiao is unlikely to come now!"

Hong Miao City was to the east of Baimiao City, the two cities merely ninety li apart. Given the proximity and Hong Ju's serious injuries, Baimiao should have immediately led their army to attack, and yet, they hadn't come; this was an unexpected delight indeed.

"Brother Hong Kui, your father must have already briefed you before finding me, right?"

Hong Kui nodded and replied, "Indeed, he briefed me. Qing Xuan had colluded with the Rakshasa Holy Sect years ago. I had already warned my father at the time, but he didn't listen to me, wanting stability for Nanjiang. Now, Qing Xuan is acting rebelliously, has killed Heigu, and even wants to move against my father, but fortunately, my father, with great luck and life, escaped back here.

Now that the Qing, Purple, and White Miao clans have joined hands, with the covert support of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, my Hong Miao has no footing in Nanjiang. I'm willing to join Hexi, hoping that the Master of Hou Family will lead our Clan Army to avenge my two brothers!"

Avenge his brothers?

"Master of Hou Family might not know, the reason my father could escape from Qingmiao City was because my two brothers, Hongwen and Hongwu, fought with their lives. Unfortunately, they..."

Hou Yuxiao then remembered what Old Fifth had said earlier, that each Miao Clan Leader had brought three or four Broken Realm experts to the Temple. It looked like indeed, Hong Ju's life had been bought with his sons' sacrifices.

No wonder... He didn't even think twice before seeking me.

Having narrowly escaped death, coupled with the vengeance for his sons, this father and son pair from Hong Ju probably hated those three Miao Clan armies to the bone and were willing to join with an outsider from Hexi to confront them.

However, this worked out well too. With Hong Miao's defection, Hexi's 700,000-strong army suddenly gained an additional 500,000 allies, while on the Nanjiang Allied Forces' side, their numbers dropped from 2.2 million directly to 1.7 million. With such a shift in power, Hexi's hope of taking over Nanjiang had become even more likely.

Although Hou Yuxiao thought this way, he definitely wouldn't show it on his face. Looking at Hong Kui with a hint of regret, he said, "Brother Hong Kui, mourn not, for Hongwen and Hongwu sacrificed themselves for their father. Such filial piety is precious even in Shenzhou. Mr. Hou admires such heroes greatly and will assist Brother Hong Kui to slay Qing Xuan and avenge your brothers!"

Flattery does not fail, even for those of the Broken Realm cultivation. Hong Kui, upon hearing Hou Yuxiao's praise for his brothers, immediately looked much better, and upon hearing that Hou Yuxiao would help him exact revenge, gratitude showed on his face, as he bowed with his fists and said, "Thank you, Family Head of Hou, my father would not have given you the token to bring here if he didn't have plans for Hong Miao City, please give your commands."

That was exactly what he was waiting for!

"Good, Mr. Hou will be straightforward then. Please, Brother Hong Kui, tally the city's army immediately, set out for Hei Miao City, and once merged with our Hexi army, we will march together on Qingmiao City and face off against the Nanjiang Allied Forces."

"Hong Kui obeys the order!"

Clearly, Hong Kui had already agreed with his father, Hong Ju. He had no hesitation in obeying Hou Yuxiao's command, nodding and immediately going down to tally Hong Miao City's army.

Hou Yuxiao didn't hurry to leave, watching the flow of people in Hong Miao City. Quickly, an army of 500,000 was marshaled, his pupils revealing a flash of excitement.
