Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 622 - 284, Splitting the Earth to Establish Boundaries, Fame Spreads in All Directions (7)_2

Unfortunately, his True Yuan did not destroy the huge saber, but was instead divided by the blade and flowed to both sides, suddenly striking the fighting platform.

Boom...

The two corners of the fighting platform were immediately destroyed by the fierce wind, turning into a heap of ruins. Fortunately, at the front of the platform, where Wan Renjue and Hou Yuxiao and others were, they effortlessly dissipated the Gale Palm Force with skillful strength, without moving from their positions.

"Your saber, it is also a Spiritual Artifact..."

Amid the fierce wind, a cry of surprise from Wan Xingyun made Wan Renjue's expression instantly tense, without a moment's hesitation, he rushed towards the platform, but before he could move, Hou Yuxiao had already made the first move.

"Master Wan, we agreed on a fair fight. Are you intervening?"

Hou Yuxiao stepped directly in front of Wan Renjue, looking at the almost perfectly rounded inner core phantom behind him. With a calm expression, he also brought out his own inner core, which had just condensed and was still only partially golden. Although his cultivation was clearly inferior, his tone contained no fear, and instead, he appeared even more imposing.

"Today I intend to intervene, what will you do about it?"

Wan Renjue's hands suddenly emitted a green aura, his inner core phantom shimmered with divine light, his eyes full of threat, and his desire to kill Hou Yuxiao had reached its peak.

Hou Yuxiao did not speak. More accurately, he had never intended to speak. Stepping forward was merely a ploy to stall Wan Renjue.

The moment Wan Renjue's words fell, seeing a flash of saber light behind Hou Yuxiao, his pupils constricted sharply, and he became furiously enraged.

The terrifying aura released from his inner core instantly enveloped the entire venue.

That flash of saber light was not only seen by him but was noticed by almost everyone present. The reason for his burst of anger was due to the owner of the saber light being Hou Yucheng, and the target was unmistakably his only son, Wan Xingyun.

The overwhelming saber force surged within Hou Yucheng's body that very moment. Wan Xingyun hadn't yet recovered from the reality that his pitch-black large saber was a Spiritual Artifact. His knuckle dusters, gifted by his father, Wan Renjue, were not Spiritual Artifacts but were among the top hundred exquisite items on the famed list, unable to break Hou Yucheng's saber. There was only one explanation: this saber was a Spiritual Artifact.

By the time Wan Xingyun cried out and accepted this fact, all he saw in his eyes was a dazzling black saber light, the sharp blade instilling a fear of death overwhelmingly close. His expression was completely dumbfounded, the saber edge fast as lightning as if from out of this world, making it so fast that he did not even have a thought to beg for mercy before he was completely enveloped by the blade...

"Dad..."

By the time he finally reacted and called out for his father, the saber light had already completely crushed him. He had no chance to say the rest of his words as with a loud crash, the platform was shattered by Hou Yucheng's Sword Qi, sending his entire body plunging five or six meters underground, his life or death unknown...

"Hou Yuxiao, you dare kill my son, I will have your life!"

Under such circumstances, no matter how strong-hearted Wan Renjue was, he couldn't contain the raging fury in his heart. His son's participation was his doing, intending to ensure his son's safety, but now...

He did not hesitate and charged towards Hou Yuxiao, his hands emitting a blue Gale that instantly repelled everyone around them, and he struck Hou Yuxiao with a palm, which alone completely destroyed the main hall of Shengxin Residence, instantly turning the surrounding buildings into a pile of ruins.

All the experts within the main hall hastily scattered, their eyes filled with both shock and joy at the scene. Shocked by Wan Renjue's strength and delighted that the Hou Clan had finally stirred a hornet's nest and would face consequences.

"Master Wan, this time, I'll forgive you!"

Amid the ruins, Hou Yuxiao's calm voice resounded, causing others to stare in bafflement, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Wan Renjue, however, laughed out of extreme anger. He hadn't even planned to speak but had just located Hou Yuxiao's position, ready to strike again.

Yet, the moment he prepared to strike, as if sensing something, he suddenly stopped his actions, his expression excited as he looked forward.

Hou Yuxiao slowly walked out of the ruins, holding something in his hand. It was the severely injured Wan Xingyun, who was gasping more than breathing, his right shoulder bearing a deep, three-inch saber wound, his entire right arm nearly severed. At the moment, he barely managed to open his eyes, unable to speak, only able to look at Wan Renjue with fear, hoping his father would quickly rescue him.

"Let go of my son!"

Hou Yuxiao sneered, saying, "Master Wan, you're too naive. We agreed to let the fight run its course. You broke the rule first. My brother spared your son's life out of respect for you. Do you think I would let him go so easily?"

Wan Renjue's expression darkened, he didn't speak, but glanced back at Ying Ning'er, Duan Hong, and Yuan Tiecheng. After seemingly reaching a silent understanding, he turned back to face Hou Yuxiao, his tone menacingly cold:

""

After hearing this threat, Hou Yuxiao's originally calm face gradually started to darken, especially when he noticed Wan Renjue's gaze occasionally sweeping over the four people behind him, including Hou Yucheng, which made a chill rise in his heart.

Wan Renjue hadn't actually made his words definite. Being the leader of the four prime powers, his purpose in coming today was just one: to make sure the Hou Clan doesn't succeed in becoming the Lord of Hexi.

Even though his son's life was in Hou Yuxiao's hands, he hadn't suggested doing anything to the Hou Clan, which was already giving face to Zhan Taiqing.

What particularly made Hou Yuxiao uncomfortable was the way Wan Renjue's gaze swept over the group of Hou Yucheng and his siblings. The implication was clear: he was saying, "I might not dare to move against you, but your three brothers and sister, as well as Master Fanyin, are not linked to us." This was a way of using the lives of Hou Yucheng and the others to indirectly threaten Hou Yuxiao.

Hou Yuxiao looked around at the people surrounding him, took a deep breath, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and considered the merits of his current approaches and everything the Hou Clan had prepared. Even if he killed everyone present, it was possible, but what about after that?

Could he rightfully take over the territory of the four families? Not to mention the Prison Admin Department and Yamen of the four families, just the alliance of over a hundred powers seeking revenge later would be too much for the Hou Clan to withstand.

Taking a step back, even if they could hold them off, what then?

The four families, and the Dao City of Xiayuan, made up half of Yongzhou's territory. If the Hou Clan dared to encroach, it would be an outright rebellion against the Rakshasa Holy Sect.

Though the headquarters was involved in its own internal strife, if the Hou clan truly rebelled, destabilizing the Holy Sect's governance over Yongzhou, what awaited the family would absolutely be a tempest, and the current power of the family absolutely could not withstand it.

Killing wouldn't solve the problem. In the end, today was about solidifying the Hou Clan's legitimate claim as the Lord of Hexi.

Everything else was unimportant!

The four people, led by Wan Renjue, thought it was the Rakshasa Holy Sect that had protected the Hou Clan, not knowing that in Hou Yuxiao's view, it was the Rakshasa Holy Sect that had protected them.

Having realized this, Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but shake his head reluctantly.

Although everything he had prepared so far was going quite smoothly, he knew that unless these four people expressed their stance, the title of Lord of Hexi wouldn't naturally belong to the Hou Clan; it required explicit recognition.

"Brother Wan, please stay calm. Isn't this competition not over yet? As for the remaining two Grandmaster Realm battles, I see no need to continue them. Why not proceed to the final match directly, and let me challenge the Master of the Hou Family."

"If by chance I win, let's forget the Hou Clan becoming Lord of Hexi, and they must also release Young Gang Leader Wan and my second brother;"

"If I lose, Brother Wan can then discuss with the Hou Clan what to do next.

A voice suddenly emerged from outside the door. Everyone turned their heads in surprise only to see a middle-aged man dressed in white with a sword, his face holding a trace of composure and confidence, slowly walking in from the outside.

"White Swordsman Shen Gufan!"

"Head of the Jinling Shen Family."

"In the thirty-three provinces, it seems only the Shen Clan didn't show up."

"They also captured his younger brother, Shen Gu Yun?"

"It seems like it. Wasn't the Fengbo Hall destroyed by the Hou Clan at the beginning of the month? I heard Shen Gu Yun was there, captured alive by Hou Yujie."

"It seems the Shen Clan had grievances with the Hou Clan three years ago, but Shen Gufan only has the cultivation of the Grandmaster Four Realms. Challenging Hou Yuxiao?"

"..."

"Finally, the Jinling Shen Family has arrived."

Unlike the curiosity and disbelief in the minds of others, Hou Yuxiao felt a slight relief upon seeing Shen Gufan appear...

He was very interested in this Shen Gufan!
