Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 597 - 276. Look at the situation of Fengbo Hall

"Hall Master, the Famed Sword Sect and Gao Family have definitely cast their lot with the Hou Clan, we've been set up. We need to think of a way to remedy this quickly!"

"Bai Dongyu and Liu Jianghe must have known about this all along, and the recent mention of Hou Lao Si coming over was a warning to us. Hou Lao Si, the Commander of the Upper Hou Gate, is the most murderous among the Five Sons of the Hou Family!"

"The Upper Hou Gate is crowded with experts, if they really come, we definitely won't be able to hold them off."

...

"Enough, all of you shut up!"

Ke Jiangyun's face couldn't have been uglier, already in turmoil, he grew even more annoyed as Li Wenxuan and Lu Diankang bickered, and his roar cut them off.

"You're all scared out of your wits before the man even arrives, two useless fools. Hou Lao Si is at best a third-level Grandmaster. What can he do if he comes over? Dare to lay a hand on us directly?"

The two men, chastened, didn't dare utter another word. Ke Jiangyun remained silent for a long while, clearly weighing the pros and cons. After a considerable time, he calmed down and then spoke with a grim expression:

"The Hou Clan was nothing more than third-rate just four years ago, only rising to power through some fluke. Yue Wenzhu and Gao Haicheng can be dogs for the Hou Clan for all I care. If they think I would hand over Yangping so easily, they're dreaming..."

Seeing that the Hall Master apparently intended to go down this path come what may, Li Wenxuan and Lu Diankang exchanged glances. After a long while, Li Wenxuan spoke in a worried tone, "If the Famed Sword Sect and Gao Family could unite with us, there might still be hope, but Fengbo Hall alone has no chance against the Hou Clan. Hall Master, please reconsider!"

"Who said it's just our Fengbo Hall?"

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Ke Jiangyun's face. He turned his head to look at the hall's folding screen as if waiting for something. Li Wenxuan and Lu Diankang looked puzzled and turned to look in the same direction.

"The Hou Clan only took over Hexi two years ago, their foundation is shallow. Although they have many experts, most of them are outsiders. The real core members of the clan are just the Five Sons of the Hou Family. Such a family may seem strong, but it's just a castle in the air. A single big defeat, and they will surely fall apart!"

It's a pity that in the three counties of Hexi, few can see this point. Yue Wenzhu and Gao Haicheng have been heads of their families for so many years, yet they're so short-sighted, they truly have a reputation they do not deserve."

A middle-aged man in white slowly emerged from behind the screen. His face was confident and composed, and as he spoke, he not only pointed out the problems with the Hou Clan but also took the opportunity to disdainfully belittle Yue Wenzhu and Gao Haicheng who had just left.

"This is Mr. Shen Gu Yun, the younger brother of Shen Gufan, the head of the Jinling Shen Family. What are you staring for, hurry up and show your respects to Brother Shen!"

While Li Wenxuan and Lu Diankang's faces were still filled with surprise, they heard the Hall Master's words, immediately narrowed their pupils, and rushed to give a respectful salute.

"Greetings, Senior Shen."

"Greetings, Senior Shen."

Many thoughts raced through their minds, and it became clear why Ke Jiangyun dared to boldly invite Gao Haicheng and Yue Wenzhu. The Jinling Shen Family might be a second-rate force, but they had been a strong presence in the Sanling Region for hundreds of years, even the Xiong Yun Gang in Prefectural City had to show them some deference. With their support, perhaps...

"Brother Shen, Gao Haicheng and Yue Wenzhu are two cowardly rats, afraid to get involved. Trying to unite all the influential forces of the three counties to oppose the Hou Clan is bound to be difficult. You've heard what the two deputy hall masters just said, it's true that we, Fengbo Hall, alone stand little chance against the Hou Clan. We're relying on the Shen Family this time."

Shen Gu Yun nodded slightly, speaking with an arrogant demeanor, "Since I am here, I will not let the Hou Clan's schemes succeed. The Sanling Region should rightly respect my Shen Family. If it weren't for the upheaval in Tongling and our delay, the Hou Clan would never have been allowed to take charge.

Those five brothers of the Hou Family are wet behind the ears, dreaming of pulling Tongling out to form Hexi Prefecture with the three counties, even daring to send an invitation to my Shen family. A weak and insignificant clan that has risen in the last four years dares to be so disrespectful, my Shen Family cannot tolerate them. Hall Master Ke, rest assured, when Hou Lao Si arrives tomorrow, I shall personally meet with him. He wouldn't dare to cause trouble here after that."

"For that, I thank you deeply, Brother Shen!"

Ke Jiangyun quickly bowed in gratitude, finally showing a smile on his face.

In fact, the Shen Family didn't approach him of their own accord; he had sent someone to Jinling to invite them because he knew that the Shen Family had a grudge against the Hou Family.

Three years ago, when the Fourth and Fifth Elders of the Hou Family passed through Jinling, they wiped out the assassin organization run by the Zhu Clan, which the Shen Family had been cultivating, and together with the Jinling Prefect Zhou Hong, they humiliated Shen Gufan, the head of the Shen family, on the spot.

Now that the Hou Clan is making a big show of setting up the Hexi Prefecture, the Shen Family would certainly intervene once they knew. Sure enough, upon hearing the news, Shen Gufan immediately sent his brother, Shen Gu Yun, a Grandmaster with heavenly cultivation.

With the support of the Shen Family's prestige, and Shen Gu Yun, a Grandmaster of such caliber, he didn't believe that Hou Yuxiao would dare to take such a great risk against Fengbo Hall. The Hou Clan might be strong, but so many influential forces in the four counties were still present. If they really fought to the death with Fengbo Hall, the others would not sit idly by. He was placing his bet on this, betting that the Hou Clan wouldn't dare to break completely with Fengbo Hall.

"However, Hall Master Ke, since I have intervened to protect you this time, when my Shen Family marches into Hexi in the future, Fengbo Hall cannot remain indifferent!"

There are always conditions for someone's assistance. Ke Jiangyun had already prepared himself mentally, but when he heard the condition proposed by Shen Gu Yun, he was taken aback, and then a deep look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Shen Family wants to march into Hexi?

Ke Jiangyun knew the situation well; he was aware that, as an old, second-rate power, the Shen Family was definitely stronger than his Fengbo Hall. With their backing, the Hou Clan would certainly be wary, but that didn't mean the Hou Clan was weakened.
