Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 546 - 255, due to a mix-up or misunderstanding

She didn't notice that her voice was unnaturally soft, the harshness and arrogance she had when speaking with Hou Yuxiao earlier had completely disappeared; instead... there was a kind of whispering tone.

It really worked...

A hint of ecstasy rose in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, and he paid no mind to the soreness in his palms caused by Zhan Taiqing's beating. He glanced towards the south and saw the outline of Wangchuan Tao City, immediately rushing over with Zhan Taiqing in his arms.

Both were severely injured, and he knew they could not travel through the wilderness, but he was even more unsure of where else to go. Escaping southward like this would surely result in the seven people behind them catching up. Since Zhan Taiqing had directed him to the city, she must have a plan to evade their pursuers.

Although Tao City was a higher rank than Prefectural City, the regulations were the same; both were a hundred li square. Due to the closeness, it took Hou Yuxiao only a moment to fly to Wangchuan Tao City while carrying Zhan Taiqing.

They had not crossed through here on their journey northwards; only now did Hou Yuxiao turn back and notice the anomalies here.

Technically, the northern battles were all concentrated on Lin Cang, Gyeonggi, and Dongyuan in the Zhongzhou path, among which Lin Cang and Dongyuan had already fallen. Meanwhile, the armies from Great Jin and Qinjian Villa were besieging the Capital Region Path. All these affairs were unrelated to the southern paths of Jiuhua, Wangchuan, and Linjiang. Although some refugees had crossed through, these paths should have been quiet, at least inside the cities, there shouldn't be any anomalies.

However, Hou Yuxiao noticed as soon as he got close that the streets of the city were deserted. Even if there were people, they hurred by in a panicked manner. The clear presence of patrolling martial artists was everywhere. Not to mention Grandmaster Realm, he could even distinctly sense the aura of three experts from the Yin Yang Holy Realm.

It was deep into the night, and it was understandable that the streets were empty, but the large number of patrolling figures was abnormal.

"The Saint Heavenly Fist Sect has pledged allegiance to Great Jin. Wangchuan Road is now in a state of war. Those eight people would not dare to rashly enter the city. Don't panic; let's first find an inconspicuous place to hide,"

At this moment, Hou Yuxiao had no mind to ponder the situation, hesitating only because he sensed the three strong auras in the city. Since he was still maintaining Qiányáng Cultivation, his consciousness was nearly on the verge of collapse. Hearing Zhan Taiqing's words, he didn't think twice and immediately rushed down with her.

The moment they rushed down, the three powerful auras in the city also instantly moved, and Hou Yuxiao tensed up. Given their current state, they would be doomed if those three individuals made a move.

However, at that moment Zhan Taiqing remained calm; she waved her hand in the air, and a strange fragrance suddenly emitted from her hand, the object was a willow branch dipped in an unknown liquid. At the flick of Zhan Taiqing's wrist, the liquid immediately turned into a mist, enveloping them both.

Right when the mist surrounded their bodies, the three powerful auras immediately halted in mid-air, no longer advancing.

Clearly, the mist could conceal their tracks and aura.

Once Hou Yuxiao realized this, he took Zhan Taiqing, quickly dashed into the North City District, into an estate roughly two to three li square.

The estate also had hundreds of martial artists' auras, but all were at the Body Opening Realm, with less than ten at the Gang Qi Realm, and no Grandmasters at all; it was likely just a stronger third-rate force.

With the Yin and Yang Holy Realm experts unable to detect their aura, there was no need to mention the estate's night guards.

Hou Yuxiao carried Zhan Taiqing directly to the dwelling of the highest cultivator in the estate; the moment he entered the room and set down Zhan Taiqing, his body immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, his cultivation plummeted to the Great Grandmaster Realm, a long-suppressed counterflow of blood spurted from his throat, and his aura instantly wilted drastically.

As his cultivation fell, the Karmic Obstacle dark energy engulfed his Sea of Consciousness in an instant, the last trace of rationality in his mind was completely lost, his pupils transformed to pure black, and a sudden surge of murderous intent rapidly built up within him.

"Please spare us, esteemed elders!"

The man on the couch embracing his concubine, likely the owner of this third-rate force, looked up and saw them, intuiting immediately that he was outmatched, and directly knelt to beg for mercy.

However, overflowing with killing intent, Hou Yuxiao didn't hear anything the man said; with one strike, he killed the man along with his concubine—who was one of his many partners—in an instant.

"You still dare to make noise; do you want to die!"

Zhan Taiqing, exhausted, had just shut the door; turning around to see Hou Yuxiao killing two people with a palm strike that also cracked the walls, she coldly scolded him.

"Hehehehe..."

Upon hearing Hou Yuxiao's eerie laugh, Zhan Taiqing furrowed her brows deeply, seeing his appearance, now restored, twisted like that of a fierce ghost, she shook her head helplessly and took out the willow branch she had used earlier to disguise their tracks.

She flicked her wrist gently, and the droplets from the willow branch instantly crystallized into an arrow in midair, heading straight for Hou Yuxiao, who was struck by the arrow, immediately showing a hint of enjoyment on his face.

"This Jade Pure Water of mine is the accumulated virtue of the Holy Church over a thousand years, used to alleviate your Karmic Obstacle Demon Qi. Consider yourself lucky, hmm!"

Presumably knowing that Hou Yuxiao had already lost consciousness, Zhan Taiqing rarely showed a hint of a maiden's coyness, and she lashed out at Hou Yuxiao with the willow branch three more times. Seeing the black Qi of Karmic Obstacle around Hou Yuxiao's body beginning to shrink, she finally relaxed slightly, ready to withdraw the willow branch back into her Sea of Consciousness.

But at that moment, a palm suddenly pressed against her chest, or more precisely, grabbed the willow branch in her hand. Zhan Taiqing looked up to see Hou Yuxiao standing in front of her, the black light in his pupils showing no signs of fading, her faint smile immediately vanished, replaced by a hint of panic.

Hou Yuxiao's goal was clearly her Jade Pure Water. The willow branch contained only a little of the Jade Pure Water; the rest was stored in her Sea of Consciousness. If Hou Yuxiao wanted to continue absorbing Jade Pure Water, he would have to penetrate her Sea of Consciousness.

Their mingling of Seas of Consciousness would be even more excessive than what Hou Yuxiao had done before, which was absolutely unacceptable!

But she was gravely injured now and completely powerless to resist.

Hou Yuxiao's head was now buried in her chest, continuously absorbing the virtue from the willow branch to counteract the expanding Karmic Obstacle Demon Qi inside him. From the ecstatic expression on Hou Yuxiao's face, this process was evidently very comforting.

However, the virtue on the willow branch was quickly drained completely; yet, the Karmic Obstacle Demon Qi in Hou Yuxiao remained intense. His eyebrows furrowed deeply, following the trail of the Jade Pure Water up the willow branch, exploring forward until it extended into Zhan Taiqing's defenseless Sea of Consciousness, where his expression gradually returned to one of enjoyment...

The instant their Seas of Consciousness merged, the serene expression on Zhan Taiqing's stunning face disappeared in an instant, her eyes misted with a swirl of fog, her cheeks visibly flushing a deeper shade of red.

Although she was no longer young, she had never experienced such things. The sensation of mingling Seas of Consciousness, touching the depths of the soul for the first time, brought not just nervousness and fear but also a hint of curiosity. A mix of emotions interwoven together made her voice start to tremble:

"Hou Yuxiao, stop."

"Stop, no..."

"I... I... will kill you."

...

Zhan Taiqing might have been better off keeping quiet; Hou Yuxiao was just enjoying the virtue of the Karmic Obstacle in his Sea of Consciousness, tipping towards balance. But at her shout, a wicked thought suddenly arose in Hou Yuxiao's heart.

Their clothes had already been soaked in blood for a long time and had touched each other earlier; at this moment, Hou Yuxiao was practically clinging to her. With the evil thought emerged, he instinctively reached out his hand.

The gravely injured Zhan Taiqing, still powerless to resist...

...

Outside the house, the commotion had been too loud; dozens of disciples and several Gang Qi Realm Elders had already gathered around, all looking uncertainly at the firmly closed door. Then there was a pause as they looked at each other for a long time, with no one going up to knock on the door.

Suddenly, a muffled moan of a woman sounded from inside the room.

Everyone was initially startled, then they showed an odd look. They glanced at each other and all turned to leave, leaving behind only a few whispers.

"The Gang Leader is making quite the racket!"

"Hehe, no wonder the Third Lady is so favored."

"That's right, she's been with him for more than ten days."

"The Third Lady's father is a Fist Sect Deacon, the Gang Leader dare not neglect."
