Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 59: No. 046, There is no sense to talk about [please follow the reading!]
"Tonight, the three great masters from the Tiger List of Wanyang County are all out, and Gu originally thought, it wouldn't be difficult to force the Commandery Princess to reveal herself first. After all, in Zhaoyang County, only Cheng Yue is noteworthy."
Who would have thought I would misjudge, overlooking you? What was your name again?"
The arrogance of Gu Chenfeng was natural, not feigned. Although he humbly claimed to be a commoner in the presence of Sikong Yue, his tone and the condescending attitude when he spoke, lightly tinged with ridicule, were like those of royal blood.
Hou Yuxiao, who had just taken a half step forward, was now sweating profusely. As soon as Gu Chenfeng asked his question, he felt the pressure on him lessen considerably, just enough to make speaking manageable.
He wasn't in the mood to answer Gu Chenfeng, and subconsciously wanted to reveal the fact that Tian Honglu was not in Zhaoyang County.
But before he could speak, the cold voice of Sikong Yue reached his ears, and his face changed instantly.
"I advise you not to speak your mind. Until the victory between him and me is decided, there is no reasoning. If he is determined to kill you today, I can't stop him!"
There is no reasoning...
Gu Chenfeng determined to kill himself, Sikong Yue, can't stop him!
Hou Yuxiao's heart lurched, and his mind cleared considerably. He quietly slipped the County Honor Order back into his chest.
If Sikong Yue could discern his intentions, it meant that Gu Chenfeng might also likely know what he intended to do. That glance from him was a threat!
Hou Yuxiao quickly adjusted his mindset, making sure there was no trace of anomaly in his eyes, then slightly raised his head to look at Gu Chenfeng hovering in midair, showing a faintly fearful expression, his voice even carrying a slight tremble.
"This lowly one is Hou Yuxiao!"
Upon hearing the three words "Hou Yuxiao," Gu Chenfeng's brows slightly furrowed.
"Hou Yuxiao… Hou… Why do I feel as though I've heard this name before..."
Apparently unable to recall, Gu Chenfeng lightly shook his head, presumably concluding that Hou Yuxiao was indeed insignificant in his eyes, and decided not to dwell on it anymore.
Sikong Yue was not in a hurry, waiting until Gu Chenfeng stopped pondering and refocused on her before she calmly responded, "Since Young Master Gu has revealed himself, whether Xuzhou attacked Zhaoyang County actively or passively tonight is no longer important!"
Gu Chenfeng nodded slightly, his expression noncommittal.
"It's just that I wonder if Young Master Gu came here truly under someone else's orders, aiming to invade Zhaoyang and disrupt the peace treaty between the two states, or simply wishes to spar with Yue'er!"
Upon hearing the words "under someone else's orders," a sharp light flashed across Gu Chenfeng's face. He slightly leaned forward, bringing himself to the same level as Sikong Yue, and shook his head, "No wonder even the Emperor of Jin laments that the Rakshasa Lady of this era has unparalleled wit. To think, the little cunning of Gu was completely seen through by the Commandery Princess."
Does Gu Chenfeng have someone behind him?
Hou Yuxiao's pupils also narrowed slightly upon hearing "under someone else's orders," the thought flashing through his mind. Recalling the way Tian Linong had broken the Barrier using that Confucian talisman, he immediately had a strong suspicion.
While he pondered, Gu Chenfeng seemed to purposely avoid the topic, turning his gaze to Sikong Yue, his tone gradually sharpening.
"I have long heard that the Commandery Princess is the most talented person in the current Holy Church, deeply inheriting the teachings of the Sect Hierarch and possessing unmatched mastery of the Ten Rakshasa Sacred Scriptures throughout the Church's millennia.
Two years ago in the Holy Land gathering at Jin Capital, my fifth senior brother, Ling Yuandong, lost to the Commandery Princess by a narrow margin and has been in seclusion ever since."
"Gu is incompetent, but today I wish to experience the Commandery Princess's profound skills and hope for your generous guidance!"
Sikong Yue was already aware of Gu Chenfeng's intentions, and hearing his words, she simply sighed lightly, "The world is burdened by reputation, yet fails to recognize that these honors are merely illusions like a mirage."
Seeing Sikong Yue's lack of interest, Gu Chenfeng was not irritated but instead turned to look behind her at Zhaoyang County, a faint smile rising in his eyes.
"Disrupting the peace treaty between the two states is something Gu hardly dares to do!"
"However trivial the matter of losing or gaining a single county, Gu can make the decision on his own."
"If the Commandery Princess is defeated today, Zhaoyang will change hands; if Gu loses, from this day forth, Gu will never set foot in Zhaoyang again, how about that?"
The serenity on Sikong Yue's stunning face finally crested with a ripple as she slowly looked up at Gu Chenfeng, seeming to realize she could not change his mind, and nodded slowly.
With that nod, the aura between the two of them underwent a drastic transformation...
Gu Chenfeng, who had maintained an arrogant demeanor since his arrival, instantly retracted it as an overwhelming sword force began to coalesce around him.
His pupils too were tinged with a faint luminescence, with sword Qi bursting forth, swirling around his body as if he were a supreme sword suspended midair, forcing everyone to avert their eyes.
And though Sikong Yue still appeared calm, a faint blue glow gradually enveloped her as well.
A holy aura unlike anything from the Demon Path surged from within her, her right hand on the sword and left hand holding the scriptures, resembling a divine maiden.
The formidable presence of the two blanketed an area of two miles, weighing down on everyone's hearts.
Not just the members of the Hou Clan, but even Hou Yuxiao, and even the three top experts of the Tiger List, as well as Fu Ling's three maidservants, all found themselves involuntarily retreating hundreds of meters.
All the onlookers in Zhaoyang City who had come for the spectacle began hastily moving back as well, though their curiosity still compelled them to watch from a safe distance.
"Five Qi Toward the Yuan, this is the pressure of True Qi from a Grandmaster!"
"Under this aura, I'm afraid I can't even speak if I wanted to."
"How is this possible, how can they be so powerful, why haven't I seen them on the Demon Path's New Star Ranking or the Righteous Path's Tiger List?"
"Fool, both the Righteous Tiger List and the Demon Path New Star Ranking list only Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm, Sikong Yue and Gu Chenfeng are Grandmasters, what they pursue is far beyond these two lists!"
"Do they then have any ranking in the lists?"
"This... I do not know either."
......
Hou Yuxiao had already joined Hou Yucheng and others by now, and listening to those discussions, feeling the pressure of their True Qi, ripples surged through his heart as he clenched his fists slightly.
He wasn't as shocked as the others, strictly speaking not just him, but also Hou Yucheng, Hou Yu Jie, and even Hou Fei, Hou Ying, and Hou Cun, their expressions were not as shocked as the others.
Simply because, they had all seen the Successor of the Sacred Land before...
The two in the sky didn't make the spectators wait too long; after confronting each other for a few moments, Gu Chenfeng couldn't help but make the first move.

With a slight focus of his gaze, the longsword behind him soared to the skies, a thin as cicada's wing, blue longsword, whose edge brought forth a piercing pain to all eyes, even from hundreds of meters away.
The three-foot-long sword flew into his hand, and Gu Chenfeng's aura roared around him as he slashed a sword from midair toward Sikong Yue.
It was this sword that instantly made Hou Yuxiao understand what Sikong Yue's earlier remark "There's no reasoning to be had" truly meant!
The Sword Qi unleashed by Gu Chenfeng stretched over a hundred meters; wherever it passed, it kicked up sand and stones; a tidal wave of Sword Qi swept over more than ten buildings, flattening them in an instant!
The ground shook ceaselessly, but it was nothing compared to the tremors in Hou Yuxiao's heart, which were even more violent.
No wonder, no wonder...
In the face of such terrifying power, indeed, there was no reasoning to be had...
