Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

As long as the Lei Yin Temple army inside the Prefectural City is willing to come out, they have a way to survive.

This was a lifeline that Zheng Ping devised for himself and all the new army after being forced by Hou Yuxiao to lead the charge, and it was the only lifeline.

They engaged in battle with the Zhaoyang Army, plunging the Hexi army into chaos. The army inside the city would definitely seize the opportunity to attack the Hexi army. At that time, not only could these surrendering soldiers save their lives, but they could also take advantage of the situation to return to Lei Yin Temple.

Such a plan that kills two birds with one stone, until just now, Zheng Ping felt proud of himself for coming up with it.

But now, he was gradually dumbfounded...

Three hundred thousand new troops had almost retreated to within less than two hundred meters from the fortress walls, and the Zhaoyang Army to the east was still pressing them step by step. Many of the enemy troops were already within range of the Lei Yin Temple army's crossbow arrows on the fortress walls, yet there was still no sign of movement from the walls!

Not only did they not come out to rescue, they even stopped taking any action?

What kind of situation is this!

Seeing that thirty thousand new troops had already died nearly ten percent, Zheng Ping noticed a few people trying to climb the fortress walls to escape back into Yeyun County City, and he suddenly felt some hope—this seemed to be the only path to survival if it could succeed...

Bang... Bang... Bang...

However, in the next second, a chill ran through his heart.

The few climbing the walls were directly knocked down by those above, and the blows were not light, each one a fatal hit. Their bodies were directly thrown down below the walls.

Zheng Ping was not surprised, climbing the walls at this moment was no different from attacking the city. Moreover, once Lei Yin Temple releases people, what if the Zhaoyang Army coming from behind directly attacks the city? Considering these two points, the people on the walls would definitely not let them in.

If you won't let us in, at least come out to save us!

Zheng Ping roared in his heart, finally persuading thirty thousand troops to take Hexi by surprise, a Heaven-sent opportunity, yet over two hundred thousand soldiers were shrinking inside the city without coming out. It was simply incomprehensible.

The key point was, if they don't come out soon, his life will truly be at risk.

The Zhaoyang Army showed no mercy in their attacks; in less than half an hour, he observed that at least twenty percent of the new troops had died. With Yeyun County not letting them in and the Zhaoyang Army continuing their relentless pursuit, these thirty thousand men were headed for only one path—death…

Zheng Ping gritted his teeth, looked up toward the fortress wall, and shouted loudly: "Two honored ones, we are all sect members of the temple. The loss of Pengkang and Jiuchi Counties was truly due to the Hexi army being excessively strong and the temple reinforcements arriving too late, not a human fault. We were forced into Hexi's ranks by Hou Yuxiao, this demon head, compelled by circumstances, but our hearts still belong to the temple, unchanged.

We do not seek to enter the city, only ask the two honored ones to immediately send troops. We are willing to battle Hexi to the death again, to pave the way for the temple army!"

Zheng Ping knew that Yeyun County would not open its gates no matter what, and it was also impossible to ask them to come out and rescue people right now. This was the only method he could think of, if they refused to open the gates and save them, it was merely due to distrust or worry that Hexi would seize the chance to attack the city.

If that's the case, then we won't enter the city!

Help you fight against the Hexi army again, that should suffice.

In any case, only if Yeyun County sends troops does he have a hope of survival.

This was the only option.

After Zheng Ping finished speaking, his eyes were full of expectation, hoping to hear a response from inside the city.

However, there was still no reaction from the city. Someone else responded to him.

"Begging this group of cowards to come out and save you, how naive! I offered a way to survive, but you insist on seeking death. In that case, all of you can go to hell!"

Hou Yuxiao's voice rang out, and the expectation in Zheng Ping's eyes instantly turned to despair.

Not only he was desperate, the remaining more than two hundred thousand new troops turned sharply toward the direction of the voice, that is, the east, with dead silence in their eyes.

A seven-thousand-zhang Demon Ape Martial Spirit had unknowingly risen before them. It turned out Hou Yuxiao was already at the front line of the battle with the Zhaoyang Army. Even with the suppression power of a massive army, Hou Yuxiao's aura as a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao remained strong, making it difficult for them to breathe. Even soldiers far in the rear, several miles away from him, felt the same.

The long staff in the hand of the Demon Ape Martial Spirit was like a Pillar of The Sky, sweeping down like a colossal tidal wave towards the location of the army, the powerful Qi Force instantly shattering the surrounding space, like a massive black dragon descending from the sky, crashing to the ground.

Boom......

The Black Dragon descended, sending out an earth-shattering sound, raising clouds of dust, in an instant covering the entire eastern gate outside Yeyun County, sand and stones flying, dust filling the air.

These more than two hundred thousand new troops had not trained in any military codes, they were slightly inferior even compared to ordinary large armies. Let alone facing a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao, even dealing with slightly stronger Yin Yang Mirror martial artists, they could only rely on Qi and blood suppression to entangle them partially.

Yet now, what they are facing is a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao!

Moreover, it is Hou Yuxiao, who has crossed swords with the World-Honored Fahai.

Even with the suppression of the Qi and blood of more than two hundred thousand martial artists, Hou Yuxiao's strength was somewhat discounted, yet the blow from the Demon Ape Martial Spirit remained incredibly powerful.

As the dust gradually dispersed, the condition of the new army was revealed.

The frontmost row was directly empty...

A quarter of the entire army has disappeared!

After the battle with the Zhaoyang Army, the new army was left with two hundred and seventy thousand, but under this strike by Hou Yuxiao, a quarter died, nearly seventy thousand people.

One strike, killed seventy thousand people...

Hiding in the rear, Zheng Ping, along with the remaining soldiers of the new army, over two hundred thousand strong, had eyes filled with despair and lifelessness at this moment. They were completely shocked by what unfolded before them, only mouthing feebly, unable to speak for a long time.

With four hundred thousand Zhaoyang Army entangled, they could still resist somewhat, but with Hou Yuxiao making a move, to them, it was simply a hellish dimensional reduction strike, killing seventy thousand with one blow, meaning he could kill them all in less than five moves!

How...can we fight?

"I offered you a way to live, but you wouldn't take it, so go die!"

Hou Yuxiao sneered coldly, the Demon Ape Martial Spirit in mid-air raised the Pillar of the Sky again, and nearly two hundred thousand new army felt their hearts plunge into complete despair.

Honestly following Hexi to attack Yeyun County, there might still be hope of surviving, but opposing Hexi and angering Hou Yuxiao, really only meant a dead end.

Many people began to regret in their hearts.

But regret was useless!

The Leiyin Temple army refused to come out, and Hou Yuxiao took action himself.

Their lives had essentially come to an end...

"Demon Head, stop!"

A furious voice rang from the city, Zheng Ping and the nearly two hundred thousand new army prepared to die were all stunned, and then turned to look at Yeyun County, faces full of ecstasy.

The city gate of Yeyun County was opened, and at the same time, a blood red cloud spanning a hundred miles suddenly ascended to the sky. Outside the east gate, a tremendous wave of Qi blood surged, everyone noticeably felt the surrounding space become heavier, and cultivation was more heavily restricted.

Two immense Buddha Martial Spirit phantoms slowly rose from the blood red cloud, the left one appeared furious, entirely crimson like enveloped in flames; the right one looked peaceful, with only a golden point of light at the brow, dazzling beyond measure.

"My Chan Sect disciples cannot let you, the Demon Head, slaughter like this!"

"All troops heed the command, follow the two World Honored Ones, and crush the Hexi rebels."

"Charge..."

"Kill, our sect members have been slaughtered like this, we shall never spare the Hexi dogs."

"Brothers, kill!"

Dong... dong... dong

......

A succession of voices resounded from the city, followed by an overwhelming wave of passionate and angry shouts, and then the earth began to tremble, it was the sound of thousands of troops galloping across the land.

From the east gate, the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers surged out like a tidal wave.

The army emerged.

Zheng Ping's eyes were full of joy and emotion, not from loyalty to Leiyin Temple, but because he understood that his life, today, was spared.

"Brothers, follow our temple's army and slaughter the Hexi rebels!"

He reacted swiftly, as his over two hundred thousand new army was closest to the Zhaoyang Army, first entangling them would create an opportunity for the temple's emerging army.

Right now, the city had two World Honored Ones and numerous honored ones. Seize this chance to show off for the temple and earn merits, future benefits would surely be abundant.

"Retreat... Retreat, all troops retreat..."

"Quickly retreat, quick retreat!"

At this moment, Hou Yuxiao, along with several commanders of the Zhaoyang Army, shouted in panic to retreat, filling Zheng Ping with even greater satisfaction.

Not only has he kept his life.

He might even earn merit.
