Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 742 - 330, Fang Yun moves, with intense activity and urgency
Hou Yuxiao arrived in this world in the year 1219 of the New Yu Era.
Up to now, it has been exactly eight years.
In these eight years, Hou Yuxiao found it hard to say whether he had completely integrated into this world, although most of the time, he was Hou Yuxiao of the Hexi Hou Clan. But occasionally, he would remember that he is, in fact, another "Hou Yuxiao."
Emotionally, he preferred his current identity.
Compared to his other self, this identity came with four family members: Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, Hou Yujie, and Hou Yuduan.
It came with the powerful strength he had cultivated with hard work.
It came with the strong Hou Clan that he had led his kinsmen to build from scratch as they toiled and struggled, now dominating in Hexi.
But that was only on an emotional level.
In the depths of his heart, he always understood who he really was.
But at this moment, as he looked at Zhao Qingxue sitting on the soft couch,
Hou Yuxiao's heart wavered for the first time...
"Qingxue!"
Hou Yuxiao sat down beside the soft couch and lifted the red veil Zhao Qingxue had worn all the way there.
About to get married, Zhao Qingxue could no longer wear her Taoist cloud bun; her three thousand strands of black hair were whimsically coiled a few times atop her head into a Spirit Snake bun. Naturally beautiful with an ethereal grace, she embarrassingly had a pair of captivating almond-shaped eyes. Her face was lightly made up at the moment, and through her trembling eyelashes, one could see she was somewhat nervous.
Unspeakably beautiful!
Hou Yuxiao let out a heartfelt exclamation in his heart, leaned in slightly, and savored the fresh fragrance of the girl drifting into his nostrils.
"Husband... ying..."
In Zhao Qingxue's coquettish yet reluctant moaning, Hou Yuxiao heralded the start of their wedding night, and thus announced that from today onward, in this world, apart from the Hou Clan, he truly had his own small family.
......
In Bingzhou, the central part of Moyun Mountain.
Outside Xi Yun Dao City, in the Holy Church's military tent
At night, Huangfu Xing sat alone in the top seat on the left side of the military tent, and his brows suddenly furrowed as he looked up to the top of the seat, a streak of blue caught his eye, and he hurriedly got up to bow.
"Subordinate pays respects to the Holy Maiden!"
"Rise, how are things on your end?"
Huangfu Xing shook his head and said, "The Blood Spirit Demon Sect has reinforced Xi Yun Dao City with more troops. Since April, our army has tried several times to advance into the city but was repelled each time. According to the report from General Han, the Demon Sect dispatched all one million Xueling Guards from Zhao Yuan Path. It seems they do not intend to give up Xi Yun Dao. Right now, unless General Tong and General Yue bring their armies to attack the city together, we will definitely not be able to take Xi Yun Dao in the short term!"
All the major holy lands have their own elite forces, and the Blood Spirit Demon Sect is no exception.
Aside from the headquarters at Yang Mei Road, the three other paths each have one million Xueling Guards to guard them. Xi Yun Dao City itself already had one million Xueling Guards, and with the additional one million from Zhao Yuan Path, a total of two million elite troops from the holy lands, even a Saint personally making a move wouldn't be able to conquer it.
When Huangfu Xing said it couldn't be done in a short time, he was actually being conservative; if nothing unexpected happened, just relying on General Han Tianfeng's forces, they would likely never be able to take Xi Yun Dao City.
"How goes the battle in Demon Void Path?" frёeωebɳovel.com
Sikong Yue's tone remained unchanged, as if she had anticipated this.
Huangfu Xing frowned slightly and said, "One million and five hundred thousand Moling Army troops have, after a full seven months, only managed to capture two prefectures of Demon Void Path and haven't even reached Demon Void City. We have sent messages to Mokong Zi three times questioning him, and all three times he replied with the same thing, saying that because the Fenling Emperor was watching Liangzhou to the north, he dared not commit all his forces. But according to our spies in Great Jin, the Fenling Emperor has already returned to Youdu to report, and he isn't even in Fenzhou currently. Given this, we can basically confirm that Mokong Zi is unwilling to commit his forces. He is waiting for us to be nearly finished battling in Bingzhou so he can reap the benefits!"
Sikong Yue was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook her head and chuckled.
"Foolish... Well, if he wasn't foolish, we wouldn't be able to take Bingzhou."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xing's expression turned bewildered, and an unsure look appeared on his face. However, since Sikong Yue didn't volunteer more information, he didn't dare to ask, only after a long silence, he quietly inquired: "Holy Maiden, was your journey to Xiayuan smooth?"
"Lin Xuangan is dead!"
Huangfu Xing's pupils contracted, and he quickly asked, "And the Treasure Map of the Holy Sect?"
"On the day his daughter Zhao Qingxue was to get married, Shi Tian interfered. Lin Xuangan begged for mercy; Shi Tian wouldn't agree. Lin Xuangan must have been prepared for death long ago. He self-immolated the Star Sea Sacred Core on Hexi Wanglong Mountain, triggering the explosion of the Holy Sect Treasure Map, splitting it into nine pieces. Shi Tian snatched one piece, and the remaining eight pieces, with no one from the nine holy lands willing to concede, could only first be entrusted to Great Jin for safekeeping..."
With so much information included in these words, Huangfu Xing stood in place, his face alternating colors as he digested all the information before eventually looking up with a look of shock and saying, "Killing one to warn a hundred, this Lin Xuangan is truly ruthless!"
"He had only one daughter, Zhao Qingxue. Shi Tian couldn't possibly allow Hexi to join forces with the Ziqing Holy Sect. Lin Xuangan must have seen that coming.
Being loyal to Great Yu but unwilling to give the Treasure Map to anyone, and wanting to protect his daughter, he came up with this cruel plan of 'killing one to warn a hundred'. From now on, whether it's Shi Tian or other holy lands, they will probably start an overt and covert struggle.
After all, in Lin Xuangan's eyes, the nine holy lands including Leiyin Temple are all a bunch of traitorous rebels. He would be pleased to see the ten families fighting each other to death!"
After Sikong Yue finished speaking, her tone suddenly carried a hint of teasing, "And he also conveniently helped his son-in-law with a great favor."
