Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 603 - 278. Splitting the land and marking the territory, renowned in all directions (Part 1)

The slaughter at Fengbo Hall continued throughout the entire night.

The martial artists stationed around the area also watched the entire night.

It wasn't that they didn't wish to leave, but after Hou Yujie captured Ke Jiangyun, Li Wenxuan, and Lu Diankang, he ordered no one to leave.

There were actually quite a few people present tonight, including the heads of the three mainstream forces of the prefectural city, in addition to some loose cultivator masters. There were roughly more than a dozen martial artists in the Three Realms of Gang Qi, and even two grandmasters, not to mention Yue Wenzhu and Gao Haicheng.

Naturally, with so many people, they shouldn't have been intimidated by Hou Yujie.

However, the reality was that after Hou Yujie issued his order, even without the warriors of the upper Hou Gate blocking the way, everyone present remained in their places, not daring to move a step.

As dawn began to break, the wails from Fengbo Hall finally ceased, and concurrently, those five hundred men from the Upper Hou Gate gradually emerged from the hall. Their weapons and clothes were stained with blood; even from several hundred meters away, one could smell the strong stench of blood emanating from them.

Hou Fei, Gao Hu, Su Li, Xiong Nutao, Zhang Kong, Cheng Ping, Bai Dongkai, Yu Wulai, Yue Qianyun, and Li Yuanrui, the ten heads of the Upper Hou Gate's ten divisions, all martial artists in the Gangqi Third Realm Bao Dan Period, sequentially led their subordinates to gather behind Hou Yujie and reported to him in a low voice.

Hou Yujie nodded without expression, then casually tossed the four grandmaster realm masters bound behind him—Shen Guyun, Li Wenxuan, Lu Diankang, and Ke Jiangyun—to Hou Fei. Then, he turned around with his followers and, from horseback, looked down at the martial artists from Yangping who had already come forward.

Wherever his gaze passed, no one failed to lower their heads, and no one dared not bow down, including Yue Wenzhu and Gao Haicheng.

"Fengbo Hall colluded with outsiders, plotting to cause chaos in Hexi. Now that the Hou Clan has become the lord of Hexi, we cannot sit back and ignore this. Considering that it is Fengbo Hall's first offense, and adding to that my eldest brother's leniency, we have decided to eliminate only the ringleaders. The other sect members of Fengbo Hall will be spared this time, and we shall not pursue the matter further."

Upon hearing Hou Yujie's words, everyone's faces contorted momentarily.

First offense, leniency, only eliminating the ringleaders, and sparing the rest...

Hou Lao Si certainly had thick skin!

"I hope everyone present tonight will remember this. If someone dares to offend again, if you have the confidence to deceive the Hou Clan, then so be it. But once the truth comes to light, and we become aware of it..."

Hou Yujie paused here, waiting for everyone's attention to refocus on him. A glint flashed in his eyes as he suddenly swung his longsword, sending a slash of sword qi flying towards Fengbo Hall.

After a night of fighting, Fengbo Hall was already in ruins, with only a few buildings left intact. Hou Yujie's sword qi passed overhead, completely destroying the remaining structures.

Boom...

Following a loud noise, Fengbo Hall was completely reduced to rubble. The sound of collapsing buildings echoed in everyone's minds, startling them all into trembling, as they nodded like sieves sifting grain.

Hou Yujie said nothing, yet everything had been said.

"Sect Leader Yue, you're soon to become the father-in-law of my fifth brother. We are to become relatives by marriage, so it's not fitting for Hou Yuduan to speak unpleasant words. I will take his place. In the future, don't rashly accept any invitations. If I see you consorting with such people again..."

Hou Yujie paused, then continued in a deeper tone: "We won't take action against a relative such as yourself, but the Famed Sword Sect will no longer have the necessity to exist in Longxiang County!"

Yue Wenzhu was thus warned, his mind and spirit slightly shaken. His first reaction was anger, but upon seeing the four grandmasters behind Hou Yujie, especially the most severely injured and pitiful-looking Shen Guyun, his anger dissipated in an instant. He gave a fist-and-palm salute to Hou Yujie and said, "Master Yue will certainly remember the words of the Fourth Young Master."

Hou Yujie then turned his gaze to Gao Haicheng beside him.

Before Hou Yujie could speak, Gao Haicheng had already bowed deeply.

"Fourth Young Master, rest assured, I was deluded this time. Should such a matter arise again, I will report to the Hou Clan first, never to sully my hands with these people and tarnish the prosperity of Hexi."

Only then did Hou Yujie show a satisfied expression. He glanced around, then turned back and bade farewell to Bai Dongyu and Liu Jianghe before waving his followers to leave.

"Let's return to Tongling!"

The five hundred men hurriedly followed behind him, speeding away on horseback from Yangping, leaving behind the people of the prefectural city looking at each other, bewildered. After a long while, they approached Bai Dongyu and Liu Jianghe with faces full of flattery.

With Fengbo Hall gone, these two men would call the shots in Yangping from now on.

New Yu Era, year 1325, June 28

In Hexi Prefecture City, formerly Tongling Prefectural City, the streets and alleys were festooned with lanterns and streamers, the city buzzed with people's voices, and a red carpet stretching over ten miles long was laid on the main thoroughfare. The entire city was engulfed in a festive atmosphere.

Many visitors from other places were astonished to see such a scene in the city and quickly tugged at the sleeves of passers-by to inquire: "What's the big occasion today in Tongling, to warrant such grand preparations?"

"You must be new here. You don't know about the Fifth Young Master's grand wedding today."

"May I ask, which Fifth Young Master?"

"The Fifth Young Master of the Hou Clan, Hou Yuduan."

Hearing this name, the man immediately showed surprise on his face, then glanced around at the joyous scene, and nodded: "That explains it. Only the Hou Clan could put on such a spectacle. Hou Yuduan, is he the one known as the 'Double Dragons of the Hou Family' and nicknamed 'Zhao Yang Mo Ru,' the Fifth Young Master?"
