Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"The effectiveness is only temporary, most of these people are greedy and afraid of death. Relying on them to disgust others won't be easy. However, time is running out, whether through intimidation or coercion, I don't know if they will be of any use later..."

Hou Yuxiao stopped speaking at this point, turning around to look at the already processed scene of executing prisoners, more than thirty thousand surrendered soldiers stood there obediently. Their uniforms varied; there were sect members from Leiyin Temple, local martial artists from the city, and soldiers wearing Huang Chan Army armor...

Huang Chan Army armor!

Hou Yuxiao suddenly paused, looking at the Huang Chan Army soldiers standing in the crowd, his expression slightly moved. He asked Gao Changlong beside him:

"Has the message been sent out?"

Gao Changlong nodded and said, "After breaking the city last night, I've already dispatched messengers. If things go as expected, Hou Ying, Hou Cun, Su Li and Nie Xinliu's troops have all retreated to Jiuchi County to regroup with Hong Ju. Gao Cheng and Gao Hu have also set out for Jiuchi. In at most half a day, besides us, all the armies should be able to converge at Jiuchi County!"

Hou Yuxiao nodded lightly. After Hexi seized two counties, Leiyin Temple would definitely start to take serious action, preparations must be made in advance. The situation with Shi Tian is unclear, but just the forces under Leiyin Temple are enough to make him be on high alert.

"Master of Hou Family, when do we set off for Jiuchi?"

Upon hearing Gao Changlong's inquiry, Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment and softly replied, "No rush, first leave a small portion of troops to control Pengkang, then take people to capture Jinyang and Pingchuan counties. Bring the surrendered soldiers to Jiuchi together. Nie Xinliu's two hundred thousand troops have already been split up by me. When our army assembles in Jiuchi, his troops will take over the other eight cities."

"Subordinate obeys!"

The entire Pengkang County is already almost captured, the remaining Jinyang and Pingchuan counties don't even require the Red Flame Army to move. However, speed is vital for military forces, and Hou Yuxiao wishes to have all armies gathered in Jiuchi without wasting time, sending Gao Changlong to quickly capture them.

"I'll head to Jiuchi in advance, you handle the arrangements here first."

"Yes!"

After finishing his words, Hou Yuxiao's figure leaped towards the southwest, heading in the direction of Jiuchi County City. But halfway, he changed to head directly west.

With his current cultivation, a hundred miles is merely a brief moment. Now the Hexi troops are all gathering at Jiuchi, likely not all have arrived yet. There's no problem with going over now, but it's better to first scout Yeyun County and observe the situation at Leiyin Temple.

Yeyun County lies northwest of Jiuchi County, the official road between these two cities is a distance of 140 miles, the straight-line distance is closer, just over 80 miles. These details were already clearly investigated by Hou Fei when Hou Yucheng attacked Jiuchi, including all the terrain in between, and where is suitable for ambush or for marching, Hou Yuxiao knew them well.

Hou Yuxiao didn't approach Yeyun County closely, stopping just over ten miles east of the county city, releasing a trace of his aura to perceive, he practically understood the situation inside Yeyun County.

"More than two million troops, reinforcements from three counties and fourteen towns have been summoned, yet they aren't proactively attacking, planning to stop me east of Yeyun County..."

Hou Yuxiao's tone carried a slight mockery as he softly murmured, a cold glint flashing in his pupils.

"May I ask, is the Master of Hou Family present?"

Suddenly, an elderly voice came from behind, Hou Yuxiao turned to look back, seeing an old monk cloaked in golden robes and another burly old monk wearing a fiery red robe, he didn't know when they had already stood behind him. The one asking was the old monk in golden robes.

Looking at the two old monks, Hou Yuxiao's face didn't show any surprise, he simply nodded calmly in acknowledgment of the old monk's question, then lightly smiled while gazing at them for a moment and softly inquired, "Jin Guang, Nu Yuan?"

"Master of Hou Family has sharp eyes, this humble monk Jin Guang, respects you!"

"I am Nu Yuan."

Leiyin Temple, surprisingly, didn't send Fahai, but instead dispatched two other World-Honored Ones!

Hou Yuxiao looked at the two World-Honored Ones, the smile in his eyes growing richer.
