Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 642 - 291, Zhan Taiqing actually lost_2

After briefing the situation, he continued, "Subordinate has indeed gathered quite some intelligence over the past half year in Yongdu, but the most critical are the two major events that happened recently during the lockdown of Yongdu."

"One thing at a time!"

As the most intense gaze of the Five Clans fixed on him, Cheng Yunye's heart started to beat faster, but he quickly adjusted and nodded, speaking directly:

"The first matter is the lockdown of Yongdu, which also postponed the Rakshasa Festival by three months, due to Sect Hierarch Sikong Xingzhou's intent to change the successor. All experts of the Holy Church from Yongzhou, including those above the Grandmaster Realm, two protectors, three Divine Generals, and the Rakshasa Eight Divisions—a total of three Sub-Saints of the Martial Dao, ten Martial Grandmasters, and dozens of experts from the Yin Yang Holy Realm, all gathered at Tianzhu Peak. These people split into two factions, one supporting Zhan Taiqing, and the other supporting Sikong Yue..."

Hou Yuxiao had been aware of the strife over the succession of the Sect Hierarch, but it did not stop him from letting Cheng Yunye continue. He was curious about whether Zhan Taiqing's side or Sikong father and daughter's side had won.

Hearing that Zhan Tai's old forces included two protectors, two Divine Generals, six members of the Rakshasa Eight Divisions, and nearly 80% of the Holy Church's experts, Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but click his tongue; no wonder Zhan Taiqing was so arrogant, not fearing anyone.

Two Sub-Saints commanding troops, two Peak Grandmasters, plus six Ordinary Grandmasters—such a foundation, looking across the World, there probably was no one who could scare her.

"With Zhan Taiqing having so many loyalists and old subordinates left by the Elder Church Leader, even if Sikong Xingzhou is the best in the World, it must have been tough. Did Sikong Yue lose?"

When Hou Yuxiao asked this question, he was somewhat hopeful.

His impression of Sikong Yue was not good, not because he disliked her, but because during the turmoil in Zhaoyang four years ago, Sikong Yue seemed too cunning. Moreover, her Merit Gold Page was still lingering in his Sea of Consciousness, making Hou Yuxiao feel manipulated whenever he thought of this woman.

He certainly hoped Sikong Yue would face defeat!

He had witnessed the prowess of Zhan Taiqing, and of all the people he had met, only Zhan Taiqing seemed capable of giving Sikong Yue a taste of defeat....

"Sikong Yue won. The news from the Headquarters should be spread all around soon. Sikong Yue has been confirmed as the successor of the Sect Hierarch of the Rakshasa Holy Sect. Moreover, it has been announced that Sikong Xingzhou will resign at the Rakshasa mourning five years later, and Sikong Yue will take over then!"

Hou Yuxiao's face was full of astonishment; he remained silent for more than ten moments, his mind filled with the image of Sikong Yue's emotionless face. After barely suppressing the shock in his heart, he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "With only the support of 20% of the Holy Church's experts, Sikong Yue managed to overcome Zhan Taiqing and become the successor? How is that possible!"

He paused, then asked, "Did Sikong Xingzhou make a move?"

Sikong Yue's biggest reliance was supposed to be this number one father of the World.

Beyond that, he could think of no other reason.

Upon hearing this question, Cheng Yunye suddenly looked distressed and said, "Family Head, please forgive me. The masters who descended from Tianzhu Peak that day seem to have all sealed their lips regarding the matters at the Headquarters. Despite spending a fortune, I could not gather any information."

"Three to four thousand people, all keeping silent?"

Cheng Yunye nodded and said, "I do not know exactly what happened, but I heard some rumors that Sikong Xingzhou did not appear that day. I suspect this news to be false; without Sikong Xingzhou and comparing the supporters of Sikong Yue and Zhan Taiqing within the Holy Church, there was no chance at all.

Besides, I also heard from the Holy Church's people repeatedly mentioning the next Saint Heir. It seems that the candidate for the next Saint Heir has been decided. I tried to find out the identity of this person, but not many knew the details, only learning that this person is called 'Gu Yu Grandmaster.' However, there are no experts named Gu Yu either within the boundaries of Yongzhou or in the Holy Church, so I dare not confirm."

Hou Yuxiao's gaze slightly deepened. According to Cheng Yunye, it was not strange for the Holy Church's over three thousand Grandmaster Realm experts gathered that day at Headquarters to collectively maintain silence, but even those Grandmaster Realm experts also kept silent, which suggested something was amiss.

Either these people were uninformed.

Or Sikong Yue did not want outsiders to know what exactly happened that day.

Gu Yu Grandmaster, the next generation's Saint Heir, who was this person?

Hou Yuxiao's mind was a mess, unable to sort out his thoughts. However, remembering the unbearable arrogance of Zhan Taiqing and the torment he had endured in Wangchuan Tao City for over two months, his heart grew complicated, eventually sighing deeply.

Since she had lost, there was no need to speak of Zhan Taiqing's fate!

Fairly speaking, although Zhan Taiqing had mistreated him for so long, her assistance to the Hou Clan was undeniable. From Tongling, Hexi Three Counties, to eventually even entrust the Hexi Four Counties to him, and moreover without setting up a Yamen or a Prison Admin Department, she granted the Hou Clan the greatest autonomy. The clan's development to its current scale greatly benefited from Zhan Taiqing's help.

"Even you were not spared by Sikong Yue, is that woman really so formidable!"

Hou Yuxiao's brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself, temporarily setting aside the thoughts in his mind, and looked at Cheng Yunye, saying, "Continue, tell me the second matter!"
