Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 672 - 302. The First Batch of Leiyin Temple Sect Members Heading South_2

"Old Fifth let Buyan and the other two escape, and if all goes as expected, they should now be with Shen Guyun. They still don't know that Shen Guyun is one of ours. I've already issued an order to Shen Guyun that if he hears anything about Leiyin Temple from them, he should send word at once. Leiyin Temple, a major power of heaven rank with millions of sect members, is certainly moving south in batches. As long as we can grasp their exact situation and take advantage of Wan Xingyun and Shen Guyun, letting them suffer a little setback will be a piece of cake!"

Hou Yucheng, upon hearing this, said with a grave expression, "Just making them suffer a setback is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. If we truly anger them and they mobilize their entire sect to attack Xiayuan Dao, what shall we do then?"

"Rest assured, we're not the only ones who don't want Leiyin Temple to settle in Xiayuan Dao…"

Hou Yuxiao spoke faintly, turning his head to look west towards Chi Shui County. Following his gaze, Hou Yucheng thought for a moment before suddenly lifting his head, his eyes revealing a trace of joy.

The Hou Clan didn't want Leiyin Temple to settle in Xiayuan Dao because they considered it to be the Hou Clan's territory; after all, they could not allow others to rest easy by their side. However, in reality, if Leiyin Temple truly settled in Xiayuan Dao, it would affect much more than just the Hou Clan!

Not to mention distant factors, the River Lord of Tongtian River to the east and the Wuwei King who was currently in conflict with The Righteous Path further east are definitely not keen on Leiyin Temple taking root in Xiayuan Dao...

"Has Big Brother already made contact with these two?"

Hou Yuxiao nodded lightly, his demeanor calm, "Although the strength of Leiyin Temple is well-known to all, they are, after all, being driven out by Qinjian Villa this time. If even our Hou Clan can make them suffer a little, Leiyin Temple's reputation will greatly suffer. Surely, these two factions will not sit idly by. For them, having our Hou Clan continue to hold ground in Hexi is much safer than letting Leiyin Temple take over here."

Hou Yucheng's face immediately brightened.

New Yu Era 1325, December 15

In the middle of Yunlan Ancient River, three large and four small, a total of seven warships were slowly moving on the river. Each of the three large warships was over a hundred zhang long and more than thirty zhang wide. From a distance, it didn't look like much, but up close one would realize their immense size. Had the Gujiang not been broad and mighty, dwarfing the warships, ordinary people might not have believed their own eyes.

Even the four smaller warships were several tens of zhang long and over ten zhang wide. They were already quite big, but next to the three larger vessels, they seemed somewhat miniature in comparison.

Atop the masts of the seven warships fluttered bright yellow flags with the image of Sakyamuni in meditation. Only Leiyin Temple, the foremost of the Chan Sect in The World, would dare to display the ancestor Buddha's image so openly and boldly.

On the deck of the lead warship, a group of more than a dozen monks strolled out from their cabins, with the three oldest wearing purple kasayas at the front and seven or eight younger monks in yellow robes standing behind them, the youngest looking middle-aged.

The eldest monk in the purple-patterned kasaya, his face filled with sorrow, gazed at the river's rushing waters as though moved by a profound emotion, and heaved a heavy sigh towards the Gujiang.

"This decline of the Chan Sect, our Leiyin Temple, cannot escape blame!"

"Disaster may be a precursor to fortune, and fortune a prelude to disaster. There's no need for Master Wufa to worry. The north is fraught with troubles. Although Great Jin is entangled with demons' pacts, from their words and actions, it's obvious they have designs on Jizhou. Our departure from Jizhou, though the result of Qinjian Villa's coercion, may not necessarily be a bad thing," spoke the monk Wuyu on his left.

Upon hearing the words of his disciple Wuyu, Wufa's expression relaxed for a moment but he soon shook his head again, "Those words are but comfort. At a time when Holy Lands across The World are frequently clashing and expanding territories, our Leiyin Temple has been forced to leave our home and travel hundreds of thousands of miles south. We've already missed the initiative. Moreover, we have to go to Xiayuan Dao, where we'll have to deal with the heretics of the Brahman Sect and compete with the four major Holy Lands to the south. The responsibilities are heavy and the road is long and arduous. Ah..."

Among the yellow-robed monks behind, Master Yuan Kong stepped forward, unable to hold back, "Master Wufa, hasn't my disciple Buyan already sent a message back? The Rakshasa Holy Sect, upon learning about our entire sect moving south, were scared off from Xiayuan Dao at the beginning of the year. We can simply take over without the need to contend with the Rakshasa Holy Sect. As for the other four major Holy Lands to the south, Leiyin Temple will only occupy one of their territories, and that's the Demon Path's Yongzhou's Xiayuan Dao. There's basically no conflict with them. Wouldn't they allow it?

And let's not forget, the Wuwei King of Great Jin has attacked Hedong, and Zen Masters Wuyan and Wuxing, along with a hundred thousand Earthshade Monastic Soldiers, have gone to support Xuzhou. Right now, the army is still in Guangling Prefecture City, allied with the scholars' academy and the Wanjian Holy Sect to resist the enemy. Not to mention the Haoran Holy Sect and the Ziqing Holy Sect, the academy and Xuzhou would surely not oppose Leiyin Temple's move southward, would they?"

Although he was giving a reminder, Yuan Kong's posture was extremely humble.

In Leiyin Temple, hierarchy is determined by Cultivation. Those of the Yuan Dan Realm take the 'Yuan' generational name. Above them, the Yin Yang Holy Realm masters use the 'Wu' prefix, and to have one's own personal dharma name, one must break through to the shattered realm.

Shattered Realm mighty ones, even in a Saint Realm, are considered to be among the highest echelons. Therefore, the principal authorities of the major Saint Realms are generally of the Yin Yang Holy Realm Cultivation. Leiyin Temple has always considered itself a Holy Land, so the current leaders are of the 'Wu' generational name. The Master Uncle Wufa standing before him is the senior elder of the 'Wu' name, at the peak of the Xuanyin Realm Cultivation and simultaneously one of the two Deputy Abbots of Leiyin Temple.
