Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 606 - 279. Splitting the land and marking the territory, renowned in all directions (Part 2)
The Hou Clan is now undeniably the uncrowned king of Hexi, and as the core members, Hou Yuxiao and his siblings naturally attract a great deal of attention. The personalities of the five siblings are no secret to the outside world.
The family head, Hou Yuxiao, lived a secluded life and rarely made public appearances, making him the most mysterious of the five in the eyes of the locals in Hexi. However, based on his past achievements and the few occasions he did appear, he was considered the most reserved yet also the most feared by outsiders.
Conversely, Fifth Brother Hou Yuduan frequently handled the specific affairs and regulations of the nineteen counties in the four counties of Hexi, resulting in his frequent public appearances. This gave him a good impression, gentle and elegant, like a breath of spring, well-known yet humble, having status but not arrogance.
Aside from these two, the impression the other three siblings gave was not very good.
Third Elder Hou Yuling, known as Madam San, was beautiful but kept male pets and ignored moral principles, giving her a notorious reputation. She managed the Lower Hou Sect, with countless spies under her command. In Hexi, no one had any secrets from her eyes, and those targeted by her seldom had anything good happen.
Fourth Elder Hou Yujie, who had a brutal nature, hunted down anyone who dared to contest the Hou clan, whether openly or secretly. He also commanded the elite forces of the Upper Hou Gate, which consisted of nearly five hundred experts from the Gang Qi Realm.
This was almost equivalent to a first-class force in Hexi, as people often said. Being targeted by Madam San might leave a full corpse, but being on the radar of Fourth Elder meant if you were ruthless enough, you might as well commit suicide first, otherwise, not only your corpse but anyone associated with you might not escape death.
Second Elder's explosive temper had been famous since Zhaoyang County, and it increased after he took charge of the Zhaoyang Army in Tongling, beating anyone who uttered displeasing words severely, and in severe cases, could take your life. His presence usually resulted in silence in his surroundings.
However, since last year, Second Elder rarely appeared, heard that he was secretly training troops somewhere. Unexpectedly, for the Fifth Young Master's marriage, Hou Yucheng's appearance created such a grand scene.
He was a core figure of four first-class forces, and all above the Great Grandmaster Realm, what made Hou Yucheng so arrogant? His fearlessness was secondary; such blatant affront, having offended four families, did the Hou clan still want to mingle on the path of Xiayuan?
As soon as Hou Yucheng finished speaking, the expressions of Wan Xingyun and the other three changed, and at this moment, the spectators from Zhong Yuan and Xiayuan, nearly one hundred emerging forces, were humiliated by Hou Yucheng pointing his finger, not just the individuals but also the forces they represented.
"Very well, I Wan Xingyun have seen many people over the years, but this is the first time I've seen someone as brash as you, Second Hou. Do you really think that the Hou Clan, having had some good luck, can now be equal to the Xiong Yun Gang?"
Although the other three did not speak, the anger in their eyes was no less than that of Wan Xingyun, especially Yue Lingshou, who had been insulted as "nasty woman". At this moment, looking at Hou Yucheng, her pupils filled with undisguised murderous intent.
Clearly, not just Wan Xingyun, the other three also did not acknowledge the Hou Clan's qualifications to stand on equal footing with their backing forces, otherwise, they wouldn't dare to show such an attitude standing at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Meanwhile, Hou Yucheng, facing them, showed no trace of timidity in his expression, and instead, his eyes gradually turned fierce, even with True Yuan slowly leaking out from the position of his lower abdomen's Di Que Acupoint.
This scene not only caused disbelief on the faces of Wan Xingyun and the others, but it also sparked absurdity in their hearts.
Hou Yucheng, was he actually planning to strike first against them?
However, before they could speak,
a voice suddenly came from the sky on the eastern side of the Prefectural City.
"Tongtian Prefecture congratulates the Fifth Young Master of the Hou Clan on his marriage, on behalf of the River Lord, presents the following gifts: one hundred taels of Mysterious Gold, one Water-Repelling Pearl, three stalks of Blue Duckweed Flower, and one Tri-Color Precious Pill."
Immediately, the entire place fell silent.
It took everyone more than ten breaths to fully absorb the content of this voice. Afterwards, their faces were filled with shock, and exclamations of surprise instantly echoed inside and outside the Hou Mansion.
"Mysterious Gold... one hundred taels, how much silver is that?"
"One tael of Mysterious Gold is worth one hundred thousand taels of gold, ten million taels of silver, one hundred taels of Mysterious Gold is... one billion taels of silver, hiss..."
"Water-Repelling Pearl, a Spiritual Artifact!"
"Three stalks of Earth Level Spiritual Medicine."
"Precious Pill? There are only five kinds of Precious Pills in the world, what is the origin of this Tri-Color Precious Pill, does anyone know?"
"I've heard it can be used to break through to the Yuan Dan Realm, in terms of rarity it's ranked second among the five Precious Pills, apparently one can sell for fifty taels of Mysterious Gold, and yet it's priceless..."
"Hiss..."
"Who has such deep pockets?"
"Even an average Earth Level force can't come up with this, can they?"

"Tongtian Prefecture, River Lord, what force is this?"
...…
The hot discussion completely interrupted the tense atmosphere at the gate of the Hou Mansion. When the four from Wan Xingyun heard the three words 'Tongtian Prefecture', their bodies jerked sharply, and along with everyone else, they turned to look toward the newcomer.
In the eastern sky, a white-haired old man swiftly approached, his thin face exuding a serene expression, with a goatee on his chin, looking rather comical, his hands even touching four large boxes, which were probably the four gifts he had just announced.
