Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 70 - 057, Blood Demon Shadow [Please Favorite!]

At the juncture of the boundary monument between Xuzhou and Yongzhou, Tian Fazheng did not return with the Sect Members of the Mountain Sword Sect, but instead stood at the boundary monument with Gu Chenfeng.

Tian Fazheng's face remained calm as he looked toward Yongzhou, while a touch of gratitude appeared on Gu Chenfeng's face, who gave Tian Fazheng a slight bow.

"During the marital meet at the Holy Land of the Jin Capital, Sikong Yue had only reached the peak of Embracing Elixir in her cultivation. Unexpectedly, in just two short years, she had broken through to the Divine Communication Secret Realm.

If it had not been for Brother Tian, this time I truly would have needed to request help from my sect to preserve my life. I must thank you once more, Brother Tian!"

Tian Fazheng slightly shook his head, "You and I both belong to The Righteous Path, such a trivial matter is hardly worth mentioning. Besides, I'm no match for Sikong Yue either. If it were not for Tuoba Huang's appearance, neither of us would have made it back so easily."

"Not so, if Sikong Yue did not boast possession of the Merit Heavenly Book, Brother Tian, how could you have been defeated by her? Unexpectedly, the Rakshasa Holy Sect even bestowed her with such a treasure. It seems they truly place great expectations on this Rakshasa Lady!"

Upon hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, a glint of sharpness suddenly flashed through Tian Fazheng's eyes as he shook his head and chuckled lightly, "My opinion differs from yours. After all, both you and I are merely successors of the Holy Land, and this probe was nothing more than a touch. The moment the Holy Church brings out such treasures as the Merit Heavenly Book, the more vehement its reaction to outside probing, the clearer it indicates that the internal situation within the Rakshasa Holy Sect is getting worse. Tuoba Huang's appearance on behalf of Great Jin suggests that even Jin can no longer sit idly by with its designs on Yongzhou!"

Gu Chenfeng pondered for a moment, quickly grasping the implication. A gleam shot through his eyes, followed by a concealed expression as he said, "If that's the case, not only have we planted a dark piece in Zhaoyang, but this round of probing has also been successful?"

"Of course, Sikong Yue scared us off this time, and she definitely won't shift her focus to Tongling County for a while. Moreover, as I understand it, the Blood Spirit Holy Sect in Bingzhou is holding a selection for the Saint Heir, which I've heard has already reached Shangyuan Path's Jiuling Prefecture in Yongzhou. Sikong Yue is definitely going to oversee the event, and will need to stay there for at least a year and a half!"

"A golden opportunity indeed. As long as the Blood Demon revives, no one in Tongling County will be able to stop it. By then, when we rise up with a righteous force, we will surely capture it in one fell swoop..."

Gu Chenfeng spoke with mounting excitement; at this point, he suddenly paused as if something occurred to him, his expression turning slightly unnatural as he said, "It's just a pity that Brother Tian's sister had to be sacrificed this time!"

Tian Fazheng's expression was solemn, his demeanor filled with the force of Righteous Qi, as he spoke with great righteousness, "I follow Confucianism and cherish the common people of the world in my heart. If sacrificing her can save millions of lives in Tongling County from the Demon Path, then I would not hesitate to die myself, let alone worry about a sister!"

Hearing this, Gu's face immediately showed a trace of respect, and he slightly bowed to Tian Fazheng, saying, "Bailu Academy truly leads The Righteous Path. Brother Tian understands righteousness deeply."

......

To the northwest side of Zhaoyang County on the northern side of the Official Road, about two miles away, there is a hill known as Black Ghost Ridge.

The hill is not very high, only about forty to fifty meters, but it has a large area, stretching for three to four miles, offering quite an expansive view. Looking southward toward the Official Road, from a distance, it seems to be a suitable location.

However, if you look closer, it makes one shiver!

On the small hill, which spans only three to four miles, stand numerous tombstones, new and old scattered irregularly over a two-mile stretch, chaotic and disordered. At a glance, there are at least ten thousand.

Some of the ancient graves, surrounded by overgrown weeds, look desolate.

Even in broad daylight, due to these tombstones, the hillside has a more sinister air, not to mention the occasional chilling wind that makes one feel even more spine-tingling.

Whoever comes here would probably exclaim that "Black Ghost Ridge" truly lives up to its name!

At the higher ground on the northwest corner of the hillside, Hou Yuduan climbed out of a pit he had dug himself, walked over to a brand-new coffin placed nearby, and looked mournfully at Tian Honglu, who lay inside.

Although Tian Honglu was still wearing the red dress she had on when they first met, her appearance was drastically different from that time.

Having lost too much blood before dying, her face looked as if it were dusted with a layer of white powder, devoid of any trace of color; her eyes were wide open in anger, her expression still holding the resentment from her life, her hands clenched into claws, her chest slightly raised, and that terrifying bloodstain on her neck seemed to accuse the anger and hatred in her heart.

Who could have imagined that this ghastly corpse before them was, fifteen days ago, the eighteen-year-old girl who leaned over the courtyard wall, spinning her bright eyes, secretly watching him write?

Hou Yuduan's expression was mournful, and he was silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

He first tore off a strip of his sleeve, stepped forward, and gently wrapped it around Tian Honglu's neck to cover that frightening wound, then he used his hand to slightly relax her twisted expression, and finally, he gently closed her eyes.

Yet, the very second after Tian Honglu's eyes closed, they suddenly burst open again...

Hou Yuduan was not afraid. Recalling the death of Hou Tong two years ago, and how he and his four siblings faced Zhao Ponu with a sense of utter despair and helplessness, and then looking at Tian Honglu, he not only wasn't scared, but he felt even more empathy for her.

Truly, when compared, Tian Honglu's experience was even more tragic than what the five of them had endured!

"Miss Tian, I know there is resentment in your heart, don't worry, you were Yuduan's first friend, and Yuduan will certainly not let you die unjustly, one day I will use the blood of Tian Fazheng and his son to appease your departed soul!"

A gust of wind came, making Hou Yuduan's already solemn tone seem even more devout as he placed his hands on Tian Honglu's forehead and closed her eyes once more, his tone becoming gentle again.

"With things having come to this point, even if you cling to your obsessing it's useless, it's better to leave peacefully, reincarnate in your next life, and find a normal family then!"

Hou Yuduan's words seemed to carry a magical power, for this time her eyes truly did not open again.

Seeing this, Hou Yuduan finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed the coffin by himself, placed it into the hole he had dug, and erected a tombstone for Tian Honglu.

The epitaph read "Tomb of Beloved Friend Tian Honglu."

After completing all this, night had already fallen, and Hou Yuduan stood in place for a long time, eventually bowing three times toward the tombstone before turning and leaving Black Ghost Ridge.

With tombstones scattered everywhere, Black Ghost Ridge under the cover of night was inherently somewhat sinister.

Occasionally, gusts of cold wind blew by, and from time to time, the shrill cries of wild spirits could be heard, adding to the desolate and eerie atmosphere.

Suddenly, a ribbon of red mist surged up from the ground like a small snake moving erratically, specifically targeting new graves, and whenever it drew a wisp of black smoke from them, the red mist appeared to jubilantly jump about on the spot.

It continued until it reached Tian Honglu's grave...

The red mist, sensing that this grave had just been established, paused in front of it for a long time, seeming to emit an excited and agitated emotion, before it started to draw the black mist through the soil.

Suddenly, the red mist shivered as if sensing something extremely terrifying, and attempted to flee the gravehead frantically.

Unfortunately, before the red mist could fly even two to three meters away, it was pulled back into the mound by a beam of black light.

Inside the coffin, those haunting eyes that Hou Yuduan had closed suddenly opened wide...
