Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 913 - 396, Great Jin’s Choice, Treasury Key_3

Sikong Yue was right; he truly is blinded by his own circumstances!

He is situated in Hexi, constrained by his vision and status, naively believing that although the Great Jin is the strongest among the Sacred Lands, at the end of the day, it is just one Sacred Land. Even if all the Sacred Lands in the world were to unite against it, victory would not be assured.

He forgets that the Great Jin is not simply the strongest Sacred Land.

A decade ago, during the Zhaoyang Disturbance, the Great Jin had already extended its reach to Xuzhou.

When the war in Hedong began, Wuwei King had yet to rebel from the Great Jin. At that time, the Great Jin was already waging war on three fronts: Zhongzhou, Hedong, and Lingyuan Prefecture. Most terrifyingly, they mobilized only Emperor Yuliang, while Fenling Emperor Helian Ba and Youye Emperor Tuoba Zun had yet to take action!

In the past ten years, the demon-slaying pact seemed to restrain the Great Jin, but in reality, it has only allowed the Great Jin to grow increasingly powerful. Now, with the three major demons eradicated, the Great Jin's fangs are fully bared and formidable, its strength undoubtedly greater than it was ten years ago.

By advancing south and east simultaneously, the Great Jin can divide the alliance between Hedong Holy Land and Qinjian Villa, forcing them to attend to both ends. The Great Jin possesses this capability and will undeniably act on it.

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch, for enlightening me!"

After Hou Yuxiao's expression continually changed, he first thanked Sikong Yue and then rose slightly without daring to lift his head, softly asked, "With the Great Jin marching south, I imagine the Sect Hierarch will not stand idly by..."

"Hehe, you need not test me. Before the Divine Sect Treasury is opened, I will not engage in any conflict with the Great Jin. Whether they move south or east, even if they were to annihilate all Sacred Lands and other forces in the world, my New Moon Divine Sect will not make a move!"

Upon hearing Sikong Yue put it so unequivocally, Hou Yuxiao lowered his head, his expression immediately darkening significantly.

The Great Jin crossing the river to the south leaves two paths for Hexi: one is to refuse, collaborating with Hedong Holy Land, have those Sacred Lands dispatch armies to join forces in resisting the Great Jin. But doing so would antagonize the Great Jin, and Hexi antagonizing the Great Jin sounds like a path to destruction;

The other is to allow the Great Jin to cross the river. In that case, the reaction from Hedong Holy Land would likely be intense, perhaps even attacking Hexi before the Great Jin advances south, which would also be a path to destruction for Hexi.

No matter the choice, a storm would inevitably greet Hexi.

But as long as the neighboring New Moon Divine Sect in Hexi is also involved, there might be a solution. With the current momentum of the New Moon Divine Sect and all the means Sikong Yue displayed last night, if she interferes, the Great Jin's approach to moving south would definitely become more cautious.

However, Sikong Yue straightforwardly told him it's impossible!

No, it's impossible before the Divine Sect Treasury is opened.

When Hou Yuxiao realized this, a chill ran down his spine.

He had already vaguely guessed something.

"May I ask, Sect Hierarch, how can the Divine Sect Treasury be opened?"

Sikong Yue's face revealed a smile as she looked at Hou Yuxiao, chuckling, "Why do you think all eight of us unanimously agreed to position the Divine Treasure Map with you, for what reason?"

Hou Yuxiao's heart grew incredibly heavy and he asked solemnly, "Is the final fragment of the Divine Treasure Map with the Jiang siblings, Jiang Yuyun and Jiang Yuli?"

"It seems you're not entirely foolish!"

Upon Sikong Yue's affirmative answer, Hou Yuxiao's face immediately turned extremely unpleasant.

How did she know about this?

He had kept it hidden for over seven years, with only Hou Yucheng and four others in the clan aware. They couldn't have leaked it, so how could Sikong Yue possibly know...

"You don't think I'm the only one who knows, do you?"

Seeing Hou Yuxiao's unpleasant expression, Sikong Yue knew exactly what he was thinking, chuckling softly and shaking her head, "If it weren't for the six Sacred Lands watching over them, the Great Jin, wary of causing more harm, would have long since gone to Hexi to kill the Jiang siblings!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Yuxiao was utterly dumbfounded...
