Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"The army, mobilize!"

Hou Yuxiao's voice echoed above the west of Jiujun County. The four divisions of the army, already prepared and ready to go, first emitted a rustling sound, then began to move from the front rows of soldiers, until all four divisions were moving, and the entire army began to slowly advance westward.

When the 2.3 million-strong army starts moving, even without deploying any blood energy, it is as eye-catching as a bonfire in the dark night. Hence, from the moment the army set out, Hou Yuxiao knew he couldn't have any hidden thoughts.

He didn't follow the army but took the lead with the three highest cultivators, Hong Ju's father and son, and Hou Yuduan, flying directly to the border between Jianye Prefecture and Xingnan Prefecture. The four stopped only when they reached the boundary stone of Jianye Prefecture.

After stopping, Hou Yuxiao turned back to glance at Hou Yuduan.

Hou Yuduan nodded understandingly, walked forward slowly, and pulled out a golden stone from his pocket. The stone began to emit a strong light in his hand, then transformed into countless golden threads that extended slowly from him towards the other side of the boundary marker.

When the golden threads reached the other side of the boundary marker, which is within Jianye Prefecture, they suddenly paused, as if encountering a wall, unable to advance further. Upon seeing this, Hou Yuduan's pupils slightly condensed, and he controlled the golden threads to forcefully pierce forward:

A golden light spot suddenly appeared before the four, with thousands of golden threads extending from the light spot, gradually forming a golden light screen. Though this screen has no obstruction effect, all four could feel it.

"A third-tier isolation array, not very powerful, but quite suitable for sealing off area perception of foreign enemies. Any Martial Artist with cultivation below the Broken Realm will be detected immediately upon entering unwittingly; while those in the Broken Realm can perceive it, they can't resolve it. Anyone who trespasses will definitely be sensed by the Mystic Realm Master who set up the array, even a Sub-Saint of Martial Path cannot avoid it!"

After Hou Yuduan finished, a hint of pride flashed across his brows, as he continued, "Only a Mystic Realm Master proficient in arrays can break it."

Hou Yuxiao's expression shifted slightly, and he softly inquired, "Once we break this array, the person setting up the formation at Leiyin Temple will know immediately, right?"

"Of course!"

To a Mystic Realm Master, arrays are grand frameworks built with heart and mind energy, constantly connected with their mind and spirit. This is why a single isolation array can monitor an entire prefecture's area. They can sense someone trespassing, let alone when the array is directly destroyed.

"The 500,000-strong Red Flame Army of Second Elder will swiftly cross Jianye County, leading the charge. Once his troops arrive, Old Fifth will immediately break the array, then accompany Hong Ju to follow the Second Elder's army to attack Jiuchi County.

Afterward, when Gao Changlong arrives with his troops, Hong Kui will join them to head to Pengkang County, striving to capture the two cities as quickly as possible, not leaving any time for Leiyin Temple to react!"

"Understood!"

This attack on Jianye Prefecture involves a total deployment of 2.3 million troops.

Hou Yucheng and Hou Fei are responsible for Jiuchi, commanding 700,000 Red Flame soldiers;

Pengkang County is under the charge of five from the Gao Family, including the three Gao Changlong brothers leading 300,000 Red Flame troops, while Gao Cheng and Gao Hu bring 500,000 Zhaoyang soldiers, totaling 800,000;

Additionally, Hou Ying, Hou Cun, Su Li, and Nie Xinchuan lead 800,000 Zhaoyang troops stationed west of Pengkang and Jiuchi to guard against reinforcements from the other three counties of Jianye Prefecture.

With such a large army advancing, even without an array, Jianye Prefecture would likely notice immediately. Using the word "raid" may seem a bit inappropriate, but once you see Hou Yuxiao's specific arrangements, you'll understand.

The 800,000 troops on the Pengkang side, consisting of Red Flame and Zhaoyang military types, require Gao Changlong to slow the march to accommodate the 500,000 Zhaoyang troops of Gao Cheng and Gao Hu. Seventy miles of distance, according to Hou Yuxiao's estimation, with all 800,000 troops equipped with war horses, rushing at full speed would take about an hour.

But the situation is different on Jiuchi's side, where Hou Yucheng and Hou Fei lead 700,000 Red Flame troops. The consistency of troop types means their marching speed is far beyond that of the Zhaoyang troops, covering 120 miles in at most an hour.

This means the two forces will arrive at their respective destinations at almost the same time. Both counties will simultaneously see enemy troops, and Leiyin Temple, without prior notice, will be caught off guard.

A glimmer of darkness crossed Hou Yuxiao's face as he spoke quietly, "Seven hundred thousand Red Flame troops can easily take Jiuchi County, while Pengkang County will be besieged but not attacked. We'll see if Leiyin Temple sends reinforcements. If the entire Jianye Prefecture army moves, then the Pengkang troops will withdraw to Jiuchi, combining forces, even if Leiyin Temple throws everything at us, true love, we won't be scared, we can even pull more troops from Hexi reserves, as nothing much is happening in Hedong for now. The three prefectures within are quiet, and not many forces are needed..."

Hou Yuduan nodded, taking over, "If Leiyin Temple can't send reinforcements, it means the threat of the four Holy Land masters remains, likely with their troops guarding the Jianye Prefecture City, if that's the case, then Jianye Prefecture is our taking!"

"By the way, has Third Lady already handed the Lower Hou Sect to the Fourth Elder?"

Suddenly thinking of the Hou Clan, Hou Yuxiao turned to inquire again.

Hou Yuduan nodded and said, "Two hundred Black Feather Guards, a thousand from the Upper Hou Gate, and three thousand six hundred from the Lower Hou Sect, totaling four thousand eight hundred men. Two thousand have been dispatched this time, now under the Fourth Elder's command. He has already organized everything, once the army crosses into Jianye Prefecture, the two thousand troops will immediately disguise themselves, infiltrate the five counties of Jianye Prefecture, and contact the previous Hou Clan forces to gather intelligence for the army.
