Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Ziquan supported the severely wounded clan elder and, seeing his state of breathing more air in than out, realized that Hou Yuxiao's strike just now could almost slay a shattered realm powerhouse. He immediately felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

He didn't immediately respond to Hou Yuxiao's mockery, taking it as Hou Yuxiao's attempt to dissolve his fighting spirit. But as the air grew stagnant for five or six breaths without a sign of Qing Xuan, Bai Tong, or Duanmu Hong coming to his aid, his thoughts began to scatter, and his complexion gradually changed.

Guarding Qingmiao City would have been the best choice. He had been deceived into ambushing Hou Yuxiao, and the idea of his fifty thousand-strong Zimiao Army ambushing Hexi was nothing but a fool's dream...

And as his thoughts deepened, a look of panic slowly emerged in Ziquan's pupils, which even evolved into... fear!

Under Hou Yucheng's leadership, the Red Flame Army had chased the retreating Zimiao Army all the way out of the valley. At this moment, there were virtually no Zimiao soldiers left in Luo Mountain Valley, only the Hexi Zhaoyang Army and the Hong Miao Army.

The pungent smell of blood in the valley, in the gradually brightening sky, seemed to have coalesced into a solid form, forming streaks of blood mist rising slowly into the air. The ground was already filled with the corpses of the Zimiao Army; not to mention war horses, if not cleared, normal people would not even be able to walk through.

As Ziquan looked around at the ground, he felt not only a strong hatred towards Hou Yuxiao but also guilt toward the corpses. His pupils suddenly reddened, and the aura around his body instantly weakened.

"Qing Xuan, Duanmu Hong, I... puh..."

Ziquan, finally realizing he had been deceived, wanted to curse loudly but, because he was too furious, a mouthful of reverse blood surged to his throat and sprayed out.

Seeing Ziquan in a furious and frantic state, Hou Yuxiao's heart moved slightly. He walked forward gently with his hands clasped together and spoke in a soothing tone, "Zi Tribe Leader, Qing Xuan and Rakshasa Holy Sect are in cahoots. The formation of the allied forces is nothing more than a pretext to repair the Chi Li Heaven Barrier..."

Hou Yuxiao detailed to Ziquan the necessity of killing a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao for the repair of the Chi Li Heaven Barrier, including the previously killed one from Heigu and the one currently hiding in Hong Miao City, Hong Ju. The more Ziquan listened, the darker his face became, fluctuating between shades of red and white, his emotions growing increasingly angry.

"Mr. Hou is not afraid to tell the Zi Tribe Leader that Hexi indeed came south this time for territory, but what's the use of conquering the land and killing all the Miao clan people? Now that Qing Xuan and Rakshasa Holy Sect have connived to deceive Nanjiang, why should the Zi Tribe Leader and Chief Bai lead their armies to their deaths in service to them? It would be better to join Chief Hong under Hexi's command and together drive out Duanmu Hong and Qing Xuan from Nanjiang.

Mr. Hou can assure you, from now on, aside from Hou Yuxiao, all matters concerning the five cities of Nanjiang will be decided by you three. How about it?"

Hou Yuxiao's heart was more than just moved; Ziquan and Bai Tong were two surefire Sub-Saints of Martial Dao. If they could join Hexi's forces, it would be of great benefit to Hexi, which currently had no Sub-Saint of Martial Dao in position. The key was that these two also had at least seven to eight hundred thousand Martial Artists in their armies...

His idea was good, but it might not become reality; after all, it still depended on what Ziquan thought. Generally speaking, upon learning that his ambush was a joint design by Qing Xuan and Duanmu Hong, Ziquan should have had no other choice.

But after all, the Hexi army had just killed tens of thousands of Zimiao people...

Besides, was there a possibility that Hou Yuxiao was deceiving him?

Ziquan's expression wavered, and the four Zimiao clan elders by his side exchanged glances, uncertain of what to think.

"Be careful!"

Just then, Hou Yuxiao's complexion changed abruptly, and he shouted a warning to the five of them. Ziquan's face became startled, and just as he looked up, a long spear pierced straight through his head. At the same time, those four Zimiao clan elders were also instantly pierced by four sharp beams of light.

Hou Yuxiao's face instantly turned as dark as blood...
