Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 598 - 276. Look at the situation of Fengbo Hall_2

The Hou Family, for better or worse, controlled four prefectures at present, and they had experts like Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan from the top ranks of the Demon Path's New Star Ranking, with an estimated over a hundred thousand sect members. The Shen Clan might match them in arm wrestling, but marching into Hexi was a bit too exaggerated, not to mention...

"Brother Shen, forgive my bluntness, but five years ago, Hou Yuxiao had already caught the eye of the Saintess, Sikong Yue, and in recent years, his relationship with Master Fanyin seems quite extraordinary. Aren't you worried that the Holy Church might hold the Shen Clan accountable for marching into Hexi?"

"Hmph, do you think my Shen Clan is unaware of these issues? If it weren't for that pretty boy who has received the Master's favor, how would Hou Family have taken Tongling and the three prefectures of Hexi."

Shen Gu Yun paused, turned his head to look at Ke Jiangyun, pondered for a moment, and then whispered, "I might as well tell you, something has happened at the headquarters. All experts of the Grandmaster Realm and above from the Holy Church in Xiayuan have gone to Yongdu. Also, the nineteen hundred thousand soldiers of the Brahman World Purifying Army from Hedong have gone there too. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a huge upheaval in the Holy Church!"

There is to be a great upheaval in the Holy Church...

Although Fengbo Hall did gather intelligence, such matters involving the Holy Church Headquarters were unheard of to Ke Jiangyun, whose face immediately showed a hint of shock as he asked, "May I ask, Brother Shen, do you know what the issue is?"

"It's about deciding who will be the next Hierarch."

Ke Jiangyun was startled and instinctively asked, "Wasn't the next Hierarch already decided to be Master Fanyin?"

After asking, he suddenly realized, and his face showed shock.

Zhan Taiqing had been confirmed as the next Hierarch quite a while ago, and now they were going to decide again, that meant Sikong Xingzhou was planning to change personnel. Apart from his daughter, the current Saintess, Sikong Yue, who else could it be?

The two conversed for a while more, and it was not until nightfall that Ke Jiangyun respectfully escorted Shen Gu Yun to the guest room to rest.

...

"Hall Master Ke, quite ambitious!"

At night, Yangping County City, Shengxin Residence.

Yue Wenzhu sat alone in his room, deep in thought, when the voice of Gao Haicheng suddenly sounded outside the door. He opened his eyes to see Gao Haicheng, who had made himself comfortable in the room without an invitation, and wasn't surprised, merely stood up to open the window.

"Ke Jiangyun isn't a fool. If he relies on just his Fengbo Hall to oppose the Hou Family, it would mean suicide. He must have some backing. Brother Gao, who do you think it could be?"

Gao Haicheng's expression did not change at Yue Wenzhu's words.

Clearly, Gao Haicheng harbored similar thoughts.

"At the moment, the only two forces in Hexi both capable and motivated to intervene are, one, Xiong Yun Gang from the Prefectural City and the other is Jinling Shen Family. I heard just last month that the Gang Leader Wan Renjue from Xiong Yun Gang was invited to the Holy Church Headquarters in Yongdu. With the Gang Leader absent, Xiong Yun Gang wouldn't act so rashly. That leaves only the Shen Family!"

"It must be the Shen Family. Three years ago, Hou Lao Si and Hou Lao Wu were passing through Jinling and annihilated the Zhu Family in front of Shen Gufan. The Zhu Family was an assassin organization cultivated by the Shen Family, and this is hardly a secret in Xingnan Prefecture. Besides, the Shen Family has always prided itself as the ruler of Sanling, treating the prefectures of Jinling, Yinling, and Tongling as their domain. It's only natural for them to stick their hands into this now that the Hou Family has so openly divided Tongling to establish Hexi Prefecture."

Gao Haicheng nodded slightly, a faint gloom passing through his eyes as he whispered, "It remains to be seen just how much support the Shen Family will offer to Fengbo Hall. The Hou Family is now flourishing in Hexi, and their decision to establish the prefecture shows a firm resolve to sweep up the trifling forces in the three prefectures. To preserve Fengbo Hall from their hands, just the Shen Family's name might not be enough."

"It shouldn't be minor. Did you notice anything just now in Fengbo Hall, Brother Gao?"

"A sovereign-level Grandmaster, I wonder who from the Shen Family he could be!"

Yue Wenzhu stared at Gao Haicheng, and when he heard his words, he felt a chill in his heart.

He was only a Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm, and he had to use special techniques from the Famed Sword Sect just to detect that in Fengbo Hall; Gao Haicheng's cultivation should only be that of a Grandmaster from the Third Yuan Qi Phase, yet he was also able to sense it, which was somewhat abnormal.

Gao Haicheng was indeed no simple figure!

"Brother Yue, are you really prepared to marry your daughter to Fifth Master Hou, and follow the Hou Family from now on? Forgive my directness, but if we look at the families that allied with the Hou Family before, they are nowhere to be seen now. Aren't you afraid that the foundation of the Famed Sword Sect might fall into others' hands?"

The tone of Gao Haicheng's voice clearly carried a provocative meaning. Yue Wenzhu, a cunning old man himself, could obviously discern it, but even knowing it was deliberate provocation, a trace of worry appeared inevitably in his eyes.

Because his words had indeed touched Yue's heart!

The marriage alliance was not his idea; it was on the tenth day of last month that Hou Yuduan personally came to propose from the Famed Sword Sect. He personally was indifferent, but the main point was his daughter, Yue Qianfu. Though she had shyly run away at that time, he, as a father, could clearly understand his daughter's feelings.

Considering the reputation of the Hou Family in Hexi at present, the strength they had shown, and Hou Yuduan's reputation in both Hexi and across the six states of the Demon Path, it was impossible and beyond his boldness to refuse their offer in person.

But just as Gao Haicheng had said, after understanding the fate of other influential families who had previously had good relations with the Hou Family, he immediately started to regret it.

He was Yue Qianfu's father, but more importantly, he was the Sect Master of the Famed Sword Sect.

If the Famed Sword Sect were to follow in the footsteps of West Cloud Escort Agency, Bai Clan, and Hongdao Gang and become incorporated into the Hou Family, thereby disappearing, he would be the sinner as Sect Master.
