Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 62 - 049, Righteous Heart Junior Confucian, Second Realm of Yu Wen [Please Favorite!]

"There are countless treasured places in the world, the valiant people of You and the graceful Yu womenn, and Fenzhou, north of the River, with its fragrant strong wine and ambitious people, yet isn't it still occupied by the Great Jin Dynasty? Why doesn't Young Master Tian marvel over there but specifically comes to Yongzhou instead?"

What a statement that was, hitting the nail on the head!

The Great Jin has occupied so many treasured places, yet you never see any sign of lament there, but you run to Yongzhou to put on an act. Sikong Yue's response was almost like pointing directly at Tian Fazheng's nose, accusing him of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

It was unexpected that the Holy Maiden, usually so detached from worldly concerns, could speak so sharply, leaving Hou Yuxiao with a somewhat strange expression.

Tian Fazheng, however, seemed completely oblivious to the implication, remaining utterly composed. He walked mid-air to face Sikong Yue and said solemnly, "Commandery Princess speaks wisely. The Great Jin Dynasty may shine in its glory, but it cannot hide the deeds of the Demon Path in the three provinces under its rule. One day, when Bailu Academy cleanses the world, it will surely flatten the Great Jin and return a clear and bright universe to the people of the northern three provinces!"

Are all members of the Bailu Academy so brave?

Hou Yuxiao was truly shocked, unable to help but look up at Tian Fazheng. Seeing his sincerely devout expression, he almost wondered if Bailu Academy specifically cultivated fools, if not for the man's undeniable strength.

The Great Jin Dynasty is not merely the first force of the Demon Path; there are thirteen provinces in the world today, with only ten Holy forces. This means one force per province, leaving three extra provinces.

Of these extra three provinces, the Great Jin itself occupies two!

No, wait, the other province is occupied by the Bailu Academy!

Hou Yuxiao suddenly realized, not only did Bailu Academy occupy an extra province, but it also leads the Righteous Path. Suddenly, he understood a bit more.

The Great Jin Dynasty and Bailu Academy, one leading the Righteous Path and the other leading the Demon Path, plus being the top two forces, it was completely normal for them to be antagonistic towards each other!

While Hou Yuxiao was pondering this, Sikong Yue spoke up again.

"Young Master Tian has quite the spirit, to say this. Does this mean that this incident of the Mountain Sword Sect daring to cross the border and attack Yongzhou was instigated by Young Master Tian, or should I say, the Bailu Academy behind him? Am I right or not?"

Tian Fazheng slightly shook his head, chuckled softly, and said, "That's not the case. Speaking of which, this battle between the two counties does relate to me."

He paused, then his expression gradually turned solemn, and he said firmly, "My younger sister, Tian Honglu, has been missing for half a month. My father has reliable information that she was kidnapped by the brigands of Zhaoyang. With no other choice, he led our Sect members to attack Zhaoyang, not that I or the Academy initiated the conflict. I hope the Commandery Princess understands the full story!"

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Hou Yuxiao slightly raised his eyebrows, suppressing the urge to speak, myriad thoughts crossing his mind.

Since the appearance of Tian Linong tonight, to Gu Chenfeng, and now Tian Fazheng in front of him—no matter how strong they are or how significant their backgrounds—none admits to initiating the attack on Zhaoyang, all denying it without exception.

What does that signify? It shows they all dare not admit to being the first to breach the peace treaty between the two provinces, even though they were indeed the instigators.

Hou Yuxiao couldn't believe that Tian Linong would use his own daughter as a ploy to attack Zhaoyang, and Tian Fazheng, his son, would surely be aware of it. If he knew, then so must Gu Chenfeng.

Regardless, they could not admit to being the ones who broke the treaty, so they had to have Tian Honglu brought back under the guise that she was abducted, just to fabricate a legitimate cause for their assault on Zhaoyang.

Do they really not know that Tian Honglu is no longer within Zhaoyang's borders?

Recalling how he was about to speak earlier but was threatened by Gu Chenfeng, Hou Yuxiao's thoughts were abruptly enlightened upon seeing Sikong Yue's glance.

He understood!

At their level, there is no reasoning.

Neither the side of the Righteous Path nor Sikong Yue's side truly cares about Tian Honglu's situation.

With Tian Linong attacking Zhaoyang tonight, backed by Gu Chenfeng and Tian Fazheng, using his daughter was merely a reasonable pretext for their actions. The key was the action, not the pretext.

Looking deeper, everything that happened tonight was essentially a trial initiated together by Bailu Academy and Wanjian Holy Sect against Yongzhou.

This trial, seemingly aimed at the immediate Sikong Yue, was actually targeted against the Rakshasa Holy Sect.

Sikong Yue already knew that Tian Honglu had been sent away by herself and was not in Zhaoyang anymore. She couldn't explain it herself, but she could have.

Why till now, whenever the other party repeatedly brought up Tian Honglu's name, had Sikong Yue not offered even a single word of explanation?

She had long seen through the other party's intentions, knowing that as long as she couldn't defeat the opponent, no explanation would matter.

Does Tian Honglu's presence really matter?

A young girl at the Body Opening Ninth Level, nobody would care.

Whether she is here, they can make her appear not here, and if she is not here, they have ways to make her appear, whether by distorting the truth or creating something from nothing, for some people, that's too easy.

The current Sikong Yue, as well as Gu Chenfeng and Tian Fazheng, behind them all are Holy Lands. As long as you win, what issue can't be discussed!

Realizing all this, Hou Yuxiao's lips curled into a bitter smile.

He had arranged for Old Fifth to send Tian Honglu away, thinking it was a brilliantly flexible move. Now, it seemed, it was just that he couldn't see the crux of the matter, and acted cleverly without understanding.

Ultimately, this world still speaks through strength, the weak are so, and the strong, like the Holy Lands, are no different.

"So that means the situation of the Rakshasa Holy Sect must be quite precarious!"

Hou Yuxiao immediately grasped the crux of the entire matter, a gleam flashing in his pupils as his thoughts whirled.

While he pondered, Sikong Yue, who seemed unwilling to waste words with Tian Fazheng anymore, slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes. The undissipated Rakshasa phantom behind her trembled; amidst the surge of True Qi, a blue rope directly moved from Gu Chenfeng towards Tian Fazheng.

Facing such a powerful attack, Tian Fazheng stood unflinchingly. A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, his body emanating Confucian and Daoist Righteous Qi, making him appear like an ancient pine standing tall and proud in mid-air.

"Demon Path platform, before the proper law of my Confucian and Daoist path, how could you have the opportunity to behave violently!"

Accompanying this stern statement, Tian Fazheng's left hand, previously held behind his back, lifted, and with a gesture of vast Righteous Qi, he scribed a character 'suppress' in the void. Each stroke of the character was sharp and powerful, as though composed of numerous sword scars.

"Decree!"

With a point of his left hand, the character 'suppress' burst into radiant light in the mid-air and then pressed towards the blue rope aimed at Sikong Yue.

Vast Righteous Qi collided with Rakshasa True Qi in the air, and for a moment, neither of them could overpower the other, both equally matched.

"Five Realms of Rectifying Heart, Manifesting Law, Literary Control, Rectify Self, Nourishing Heart, Steady Heart — pen strokes generate Righteous Qi, this is the characteristic of the Second Realm of Literary Control."

"Tian Fazheng only went to Bailu Academy three years ago, isn't he just 25 years old, already at Rectifying Heart Second Realm, how... how is this possible?"

...

The astonished voices of the three maidservants of Fu Ling reached Hou Yuxiao's ears. Although he was not familiar with the Confucian and Daoist Cultivation Realm, he knew that the Five Realms of Rectifying Heart and the Five Realms of Grandmasters were on the same level.

That meant Tian Fazheng's cultivation was now on par with the Holy Maiden.

Hou Yuxiao's heart sank slightly. Trials had no end. If Tian Fazheng were to win, not only would Zhaoyang County be lost, who knew what else of great significance might happen after!
