Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

The Great Compassion and Great Mercy Ten Thousand Buddhas Zen Sound Formation

This Zen sound, is it an array?

Hou Yuxiao's confusion did not last long. As countless forbidden golden lines slowly rose around Jianye Prefecture City from all directions, he also understood that Shi Tian's final trump card was indeed an array.

"Over a million forbidden golden lines, big brother, this is a sixth-grade array capable of blocking Martial Dao Saints!"

Upon hearing Hou Yuduan's message, Hou Yuxiao's pupils contracted sharply. No wonder a million Earthshade Monastic Soldiers hadn't moved from the beginning — a sixth-grade array could block Martial Dao Saints. Shi Tian knew from the start that the lords of the Four Major Sacred Grounds were watching him and had been guarding against them.

"But..."

"But what?"

Hou Yuduan continued to transmit his message: "According to the Xuantian Secret Record, despite the great power of this Great Compassion and Great Mercy Ten Thousand Buddhas Zen Sound Formation, it can only serve a defensive purpose and can only last for three hours. Moreover, this Zen sound restriction also requires the vital blood of soldiers as a medium, constantly releasing blood for three hours. Without any surprises, none of these soldiers will survive in the end!"

...

Hou Yuxiao was suddenly stunned, and a cold feeling arose in his heart.

A million soldiers, none will survive.

What does this Shi Tian mean...?

"Shi Tian must be protecting something in the city, needing at least three hours, sacrificing the lives of a million Earthshade Monastic Soldiers to block these four people for three hours. What else can he change?"

Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan thought of the same thing. The two looked up simultaneously, realizing that once the array was activated, breaching the city was no longer their concern. Whether Shi Tian would gain those three hours depended on the lords of the Four Major Sacred Grounds.

"Om Mani Padme Hum..."

The endless Zen sounds filled the ears. The Red Flame Army and Huang Chan Army, who had just been battling at the city gates, had long stopped fighting. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers stood in place, motionless. Even those smarter ones, who had already retreated in advance, only managed to retreat three to five miles before being covered by the Zen sounds, where they stood still.

Within and around the Prefectural City, those who could still move were only the martial experts with cultivation above the Yinyang Boundary: Shi Tian, the lords of the Four Major Sacred Grounds, Lei Yin Temple's experts, Hou Yuxiao, Hou Yucheng, and Hou Yuduan. Altogether, they were barely over twenty people.

In fact, even Hou Yuxiao felt that within the range of the Zen sounds, his strength was greatly suppressed. To be precise, his combat intent was dissipated by the tranquil and harmonious Zen sounds, making him feel an urge to sit and listen quietly.

Even as a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao, he felt this way, so the state of those with cultivation less than his was imaginable. Even if someone walked up to them with a knife, they probably wouldn't react.

Fortunately, Lei Yin Temple's power was already diminished, combined with the scrutiny of the lords of the Four Major Sacred Grounds. At this moment, if Lei Yin Temple could still dispatch a significant force, not to mention the million Red Flame Army, even Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuduan standing beside him might be in danger.

"Miscreant, I'll slaughter you!"

Suddenly, a streak of blade light came from his side. Having anticipated it, Hou Yuxiao pulled Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuduan aside, dodged, and then took a stand with the two, turning to face the belated Nu Yuan and Jin Guang, full of mockery on his face.

"You two fools finally caught on, but it's a little late."

Nu Yuan's eyes seemed ready to devour people, while Jin Guang, though calmer, had equally chilling eyes. At the moment they arrived at the Prefectural City and heard the Zen sounds, they knew the Buddha was forced out, which meant Lei Yin Temple was at a critical moment of life and death.

The current predicament of Lei Yin Temple was caused by them. They waited with their army in Yeyun County foolishly for three days, allowing the hundred thousand Red Flame Army of Hexi to sneak attack Jianye Prefecture City and force out the Buddha.

"Jade Gentleman's clever plan puts the world at peace, losing prisoners and troops in the process. Hahaha, two Honored Ones, why not continue shouting in Yeyun County?"

Hou Yuxiao's laughter completely tore apart the faces of Jin and Guang Nuyuan and the Honored Ones following them, especially Mingwang Buddha, who, at this moment, was extremely embarrassed and furious. Looking at Hou Yuxiao, his pupils were red with rage and his gaze was filled with hatred, as if wishing to skin him alive.

"Miscreant, miscreant, I'll kill you!"

"If I don't execute you today, I swear by Jin Guang I'll cease to be human."

"Let's attack together, we'll kill this villain today."

The two Honored Ones from Yeyun County, along with seven experts of the Shattered Boundary, made nine in total. Their humiliation reached its peak, and their hatred boiled over, finally attacking Hou Yuxiao.

The sound of their voices, filled with hatred, was somewhat unsettling, yet Hou Yuxiao did not show any fear in his eyes. The influence of the Zen sound array still persisted, making it impossible for him to fight against nine people at once, especially since he had to protect Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuduan.

The reason he was not afraid was because...

"Noisy!"

A streak of purple qi suddenly descended from the sky, slicing through the space, drawing thousands of stars from the void behind it, transforming into a Seven-Star Treasure Sword before it landed. The sword, with immense power, controlled the entire world, blocking the nine streaks of light from reaching Hou Yuxiao's face.

Bang...

After a deafening sound, the nine streaks of light stopped less than ten meters away from Hou Yuxiao, as if they had hit a wall, unable to advance any further.

At the same time, the Seven-Star Treasure Sword, like threading a gourd, dashed through the nine and disappeared into the sky behind them.
