Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 768 - 340. Failed Negotiations_2

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Hou Yuxiao's three arrangements were not complicated.

Gao Changbao's 400,000 Zhaoyang Army moved south to launch a frontal attack on Hei Miao City.

Hou Yucheng and Gao Changlong led troops on a detour, mainly to catch the enemy off guard, coordinating with Gao Changbao's frontal 400,000 Zhaoyang Army to attack Hei Miao City from both sides. Additionally, it was to prevent the Hei Miao forces from escaping south or the Baimiao reinforcements from moving north to assist after the battle began;

Gao Changhu's 100,000 troops were stationed to the southwest of Hei Miao City, guarding against Qingmiao City, which was ninety li southwest of Hei Miao.

In midair, Hou Yuxiao had basically finalized the plan to attack Hei Miao City. Hou Yucheng and the three Gao brothers had long been familiar with the map of the Nanjiang Five Miao Tribes. Having led troops for nearly ten years, they understood Hou Yuxiao's arrangements after some consideration. None of the four raised any objections, clearly in agreement with Hou Yuxiao's plan.

"Big brother, where will you go?"

Hou Yuxiao's eyes slightly narrowed as he looked southward and spoke softly, "I'll go to Hei Miao City first to talk to them, see if we can win without fighting!"

......

Not even a day had passed since Heigu, the Clan Leader of the Hei Miao Tribe, was slain by Qing Xuan, and Hou Yuxiao was unsure if the news had reached Hei Miao City. Normally, if the people of the Hei Miao Tribe knew about it, they would definitely break off relations with Qingmiao. Of course, expecting them to send troops to attack Qingmiao was unrealistic!

Even though Hou Yuxiao hoped for such a development, he was clearheaded about the reality.

In Nanjiang, there were only five Sub-Saints of Martial Dao, each the Clan Leader of one of the Five Miao Tribes. With one less at Hei Miao, not fearing an attack from Qingmiao was already good. Mobilizing troops against Qingmiao was impossible,

Although he had deployed troops to attack, if he could capture Hei Miao City without shedding blood, that would naturally be more cost-effective. With the rift between the Five Miao becoming a reality, he already had an opportunity. If he could successfully persuade Hei Miao to surrender, the subsequent battles against the other four tribes would become much smoother.

This was a strategy with multiple benefits, and he naturally was determined to promote it.

He had traveled alone to Hei Miao City, which was much faster than marching. In less than half an hour, he was already hovering over Hei Miao City.

In the pitch-black night sky, observing that everything in the city appeared normal with no sign of any activity, as most people were still deep in sleep, Hou Yuxiao instantly knew that the news of Heigu's death had not yet reached Hei Miao City.

"Old Fifth had mentioned that when Heigu went to Qingmiao City, he took two Fragmentation Realm masters. Who would have thought that there were still two left in the city? Just for Hei Miao alone, there is one Sub-Saint of Martial Dao along with four Fragmentation Realm masters. With over twenty Fragmentation Realm masters in total among the Nanjiang Five Miao...

Hou Yuxiao released his aura and sensed the situation in the city. He was momentarily shocked. With more than twenty Fragmentation Realm masters, that was more than some Holy Lands in Shenzhou. No wonder they say that four hundred years ago, Nanjiang was comparable to a Holy Land. Even now, if the Five Miao united, the only difference from a Holy Land would just be one Martial Dao Saint. It's hard to imagine what Nanjiang looked like four hundred years ago."

"Who are you, and why did you intrude upon Hei Miao City?"

Suddenly, a sharp voice resounded before him. Hou Yuxiao looked up to see two elderly men dressed in black Nanjiang attire, wearing beast fang ornaments around their necks. They had unexpectedly flown up from the city and were staring at him with a wary expression.

Hou Yuxiao's face was utterly amiable as he clasped his hands and spoke softly, "I am Hou Yuxiao from Hexi, Yongzhou. May I ask for the distinguished names of the two Hei Miao elders?"

Hexi Hou Yuxiao...

The two elders exchanged glances, their expressions becoming alert in an instant.

Hexi's reputation had long reached Nanjiang. The two remembered that when the Hexi Alliance was formed five years ago, the Five Miao had specifically discussed this matter and had even sent Qing Wu of the Qingmiao Clan to Xingnan Prefecture City. The Thousand-Faced Handsome Man Hou Yuxiao was no unknown figure; the fame of the Battle of Wanglong Mountain against Fahai was well-known.

With this thought, the two not only looked increasingly wary, but also placed their hands behind their backs, clearly making some preparations.

"I am Black Yan."

"I am Black Ting."

Hou Yuxiao frowned slightly; the actions of the two men readying their hands did not escape his eyes. So far, he had not shown the slightest hostility, yet they were already preparing to fight. He had come to recruit them to avoid a major battle. Taking a deep breath as if he hadn't seen anything, he hurriedly spoke:

"Elders, might you still be unaware of the news from Qingmiao City?"

"Qingmiao City, what news?"

Both of them frowned slightly and asked in unison.

Hou Yuxiao pretended to be surprised and said, "I mean no disrespect, elders, but I have just come from Qingmiao City. Last night, the venerable Temple's Qingmiao Clan Chief Qing Xuan, together with the Left Protector of the Rakshasa Holy Sect, Duanmu Hong, slew your Hei Miao Clan Leader, Heigu. I thought the news had already reached here; I'm surprised..."

The two men showed a slight change in expression upon hearing Hou Yuxiao's words. Black Yan on the left revealed a shocked expression and said, "Qing Xuan slew our Clan Leader? How is this possible?"

"This matter is absolutely true, I can guarantee it with my life. If you gentlemen do not believe me, you can sneak into Qingmiao City and see for yourselves."

The two were silent for a while. Black Ting on the right frowned slightly, and raising his hand, he asked, "May I inquire, Family Head Hou, why did you specifically come to inform us of this news? What do you seek?"

Hearing this question, Hou Yuxiao's heart sank.
