Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

There are four eleven prefectures in Xuzhou. The four roads are Xingyuan Road, Jiangdong Road, Chenliu Road, and Nanping Road. Each of the four roads has a world-famous swordsman who is in charge. Among them, you who is in charge of Xingyuan Road is Xizhao Swordsman Gu Tianyun.

Xingyuan Road governs the three prefectures of Guangling, Junkang, and Lingyuan. The locations of the three prefectures are roughly arranged in an inverted triangle, with Guangling northwest, Junkang northeast, and Lingyuan below Junkang Prefecture.

The most famous of the three mansions is Junkang Mansion:

Junkang Mansion is famous for its rich breeding of fine horses. Baisha, one of the nine top-grade horse breeds in China, also comes from here. With such unique conditions, Junkang Mansion has naturally become the most important of the three mansions in Xingyuan Road.

, the residence of Xizhao Sword Leader Gu Tianyun is here.

Less famous is Lingyuan Mansion:

Lingyuan is taken from "The world is overturned and rushed to China, and the country is ordered by Xuyuan", which means an extremely beautiful place. This is because Xuzhou, like Yongzhou, has mostly plain terrain, with only a few exceptions, and Lingyuan Mansion is

one of them.

The terrain of Lingyuan Prefecture is low-lying. Because the tributaries of Tongtian River pass through it, there are a large number of mountains, rivers and lakes in the prefecture. Therefore, the mountains, rivers and vegetation are extremely lush, and the scenery is picturesque all year round, so it got the name Lingyuan Prefecture.

Today, there are not many places that are famous for their scenery. Lingyuanfu is the only place in Xuzhou, so it is naturally very famous.

Relatively speaking, among the three prefectures, Guangling Prefecture is the least famous.

Guangling Prefecture is located in the western border of Xuzhou. Because it is adjacent to the magic city Yongzhou, a large number of people are lost to the east. There are eleven prefectures under the rule of Xuzhou. The population of the remaining ten prefectures is basically more than 30 million, but Guangling Prefecture only has only 2,000.

10,000 years ago.

Of course, a weak reputation and a small population does not mean that the strength is weak. After all, it is located in the western border of Xuzhou and has the heavy responsibility of resisting the Rakshasa Demon Cult. The Wanjian Shengsong still spent a lot of effort on personnel appointments in Guangling Mansion.

.

Ren Tianxing, the Sword Master of the Guangling Prefecture and the Silver Order Sword Master, has cultivated as a Heavenly Grand Master and was given the nickname Kaishan Sword Master, ranking 98th on the Dragon Ranking.

Not only is he famous, Ren Tianxing also has four third-level master-level commanders under his command, each commanding 40,000 silver-armored troops stationed in the city. There are at least five or six first-level and second-level masters.

It can be said that in the entire Guangling Mansion, Ren Tianxing's status is unmatched by anyone.

For such a powerful person, every move he makes will naturally attract everyone's attention.

The first day of September in the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar

In Guangling Fucheng, Ren Tianxing walked into Yunxian Restaurant with a gloomy face. Surrounded by a group of followers, he climbed to the top floor without saying a word, which immediately aroused crazy discussions among the diners on the first floor.

"Am I right? That's Ren Tianxing. He rarely comes to Yunxian Restaurant. What kind of wind blew him here today?"

"It goes without saying that it must be the war on the Hexi side. There have been no ships coming to the Tongtian River port for ten days in a row. I don't know what the situation is in the three counties of Hexi!"

"No, what does the war in Hexi have to do with restaurants?"

"Have you forgotten that people from Leiyin Temple, White Deer Academy, Dayu Dynasty, and Haoran Holy Sect all lived here during this period? The demon sect's army is coming menacingly. Ren Jianshi must want to ask these people for help!

"

"Are these people not so kind?"

"That's true. Maybe I want these people to stop causing trouble..."

…………

Ren Tianxing is 186 years old this year. Based on the 400-year lifespan of a heaven-level grand master, he is definitely young, so his appearance remains in his early thirties. He has a strong build and a broad sword on his waist.

His face is square, his lips are covered with a thin beard, his eyebrows are like torches, and he has a rather domineering temperament.

"Zen Master Yuankong, Taoist Priest Mo Xuzi, Elder Lian Ningxue, Master Zhang Yuning, and Mr. Feng Xiao from Yangzhou, besides these five people, who else is there?"

While walking to the top floor, Ren Tianxing asked a question, and a middle-aged man dressed as a general in armor and stomach quickly replied in a low voice: "The main ones are these five people, except Mr. Xiao, Elder Lian, Master Zhang, Mo Xuzi

The Taoist Master and Zen Master Yuankong each brought more than ten people with them. They should be disciples of Leiyin Temple and Ziqing Holy Sect. Among those people, I could only recognize three of them. Monk Buyu, formerly Daluo of Tongling County.

The sect leader Ding Buhai, and Zhao Qingxue following behind Mo Xuzi."

"Zhao... Qingxue, she should be the concubine from Qinjian Villa in Jizhou!"

"Except for Xiao Renfeng, the other four all came back from Hexi. They also witnessed what happened that night in Tongling County. This time, I, Xuzhou, broke the contract first. The Demon Sect's name is justified. Sir, do you think these people are willing to help?

?”

"If you want to help, I don't need to ask. If you don't want to help, just begging is useless.

Leiyin Temple has been thinking about Yongzhou for a long time. It has buried a secret chess piece for so many years, but it has not been used at all. Hui Liao was driven away by the Rakshasa Demon Cult. Without me, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Leiyin Temple would not dare to

Are you going to start a head-on war with the Demon Cult?

Xiao Renfeng is the first saint son jointly recommended by the Yangzhou and Yanzhou academies. It is said that he has nine acupoints in his heart. At the age of only twenty-three, he has perfected the cultivation of the Three Realms of Objects. Today, among the Confucian scholars, no one can surpass him in terms of qualifications.

, and has the reputation of being a disciple of the Master.

Since White Deer Academy has sent him here, it is equivalent to expressing its stance that it will support Xuzhou in this war."

The general nodded when he heard this and said: "Although it is said that Ji Yanzhi died because of a demon, he died in Yongzhou after all. The demon sect cannot escape the blame. Although Bailu Academy is divided into two factions, Yangzhou and Yanzhou, they can't help themselves when it comes to this matter.

No more angry enemies!”

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then asked softly: "What do you mean, Sir, the other three people will not help?"

Bailu Academy and Leiyin Temple have motives to help Xuzhou. The Haoran Holy Sect behind Lian Ningxue, the Dayu Holy Dynasty behind Zhang Yuning, and the Ziqing Holy Sect behind Mo Xuzi seem to have no motive to help, so they

That's why I asked this question.

Ren Tianxing sneered and said: "It depends on the development of the situation. These three troublemakers have done nothing good in Tongling. Zhang Yuning calls himself a sixth-grade demon exterminator of the Demon Enforcement Department. There are so many demons in Tongling, but he has not killed any of them."

The Holy Sect of Haoran holds the power of Haoran and takes slaying demons as its own duty. Lian Ningxue also stood by in Tongling. Mo Xuzi came out with a group of disciples who were in the alchemy stage, obviously coming to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

I don’t expect any help, I just ask them not to cause trouble to the Holy Sect!”

Although he clearly only has the cultivation level of a heaven-level grand master, Ren Tianxing showed no respect at all for Mo Xuzi, a master of Yuan Dan Dzogchen, and even had deep opinions on the holy land they each represent behind their backs.

"The news of the defeat in Hexi was only returned by the spies in the early morning. It should not have spread to Fucheng yet. I wonder if these five people have received the news?"

"You'll know if you go up and take a look. By the way, there are 160,000 troops in Fucheng. The four of you have to keep an eye on them these days. The next move of the Demon Sect is still unclear. They may go to the battlefield at any time. Those soldiers and horses under your command

The battle formation has been sparse for a long time, so we need to practice more intensively!"

"What's next..."

Yue Changhai was stunned when he heard these words, and asked subconsciously, then he raised his head suddenly, with a look of horror on his face and said: "My lord, you are saying that the demon sect's army dares to cross the river to attack our six counties in the east of Hedong. How is this possible?"

As the commander-in-chief of Guangling Prefecture, it can be said that Yue Changhai is actually in charge of the defense of the entire Guangling Prefecture. To be honest, he had expected the defeat of the three counties in Hexi.

During this process, the only thing that surprised him was that it was lost too quickly.

Xuzhou and Yongzhou were originally bounded by the Tongtian River. Guangling Prefecture originally had only six counties: Yuyang, Jinxing, Jiuchi, Zhaokang, Lingdong, and Longguan. More than 400 years ago, Feng Tianhou forcibly crossed the river to attack Yongzhou.

, only then did Longxiang, Yangping, Wanyang, and Guangling Prefecture be captured, and nine counties were established.

The Tongtian River spans more than 20 miles from east to west. Even experts in the Gangqi Realm cannot cross the river in one go. It is even more impossible for ordinary tenth-level warriors. What's more, an army of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands can cross the river by boat.

, it takes at least one day, and it can be regarded as a natural barrier separating Yongxu Prefecture.

With this natural barrier, whether it is Yongzhou or Xuzhou, you will definitely suffer a loss if you cross the river to attack the other side, because they cannot wait stupidly for you to cross the river. Even if you successfully cross the river, you will have to decide what to do when you reach their territory.

You have many methods.

So this time Xuzhou provoked trouble and the Demon Cult tore up the Jindu Covenant. The most they could do was to take back these three counties and there would be no other actions.

The Rakshasa Demon Cult crossed the river to attack the six counties of Hedong. No one in the six counties of Hedong, let alone Yue Changhai, would believe such an outrageous thing.

"In the Tongling Rebellion, people from the Six Holy Lands appeared one after another. Nan Yaoshi Buddha, Wuxin Taoist, Demon Cult Protector Huangfu Xing, and Fengtian Sword Master, four powerful figures appeared, which is enough to prove that Ji Yanzhi's death was far more involved than

You and I imagine that Gu Jianshou personally guarded the three counties in Hexi, but they fell in just one month. The Demon Sect must have taken serious measures this time.

According to common sense, the Demon Cult will certainly not cross the river to attack, but at this moment, all the major holy places have evil intentions, and no one can predict what will happen. It is not a bad thing if you prepare early!"

These words made Yue Changhai's solemn look relieved. Although he felt that Ren Tianxing was a bit unfounded, he was a subordinate after all. After hearing this, he still nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, except for the 160,000 troops in Fucheng, the other six counties

Each of them still has an army of 30,000 men. If the demon sect really dares to cross the river and invade the border, they will never come back!"

Ren Tianxing nodded. This is the advantage of Guangling Prefecture. Because it is the closest to Yongzhou, the number of standing soldiers in the prefecture far exceeds that of other prefectures. There are more than 300,000 in total. According to the latest news he got last night, the Demon Cult is currently invading Hexi.

The three counties only mobilized 170,000 troops, not counting the losses in the attack on the three counties in Hexi. With the current number of troops in Guangling Prefecture, it is more than enough to defend them.

"I remember that the sword wielder of Longguan County is Cheng Yuntai. After today's work is over, I will send a message to him, asking him to send people to keep an eye on Tongtian River day and night. Once any changes in the demon sect's army are found, immediately report to the city. If there is any oversight,

, he no longer has to be the sword bearer of the Bronze Order!"

"I obey my orders."

The closest among the six counties of Hedong and Tongtian River is Longguan County, which is less than twenty miles away. Naturally, they are the ones who can detect the movement of Tongtian River the fastest. As soon as Ren Tianxing said it, Yue Changhai immediately understood and nodded respectfully in response.

Although the two were talking in a low voice, their footsteps never stopped. Soon they arrived at the door of a larger banquet room on the top floor. The people inside obviously did not use special means to cover up their voices. Before they walked in, they were talking one after another.

The sound reached my ears.

"Surrounding Wanyang County without fighting, luring the other two counties to come to the rescue, wiping out the reinforcements first, and then attacking the county town. This strategy is really amazing. Zhan Taiqing, a demonic witch, can actually come up with such a clever plan!"

"If you want me to say, two ambushes are the most beautiful. The Demon Cult first sent a large army to ambush in the Wanglong Mountain Valley. They first wiped out the 40,000 reinforcements from Longxiang County and captured Ren Feixing alive. Then they disguised themselves as the Silver Armor Army of Longxiang County and deceived them in the middle of Wanglong Mountain.

Mu Qingwu joined forces and annihilated the 30,000 reinforcements from Yangping County. The Demon Sect's losses were probably less than 10,000, but they easily wiped out the 70,000 troops from the two counties, tsk tsk..."

"This battle was actually not commanded by Peng Yucheng, the commander-in-chief of the three capitals of Xingnan Prefecture, but by the chief of a third-rate Hou clan in Tongling County. It is simply unbelievable!"

"Are you talking about the unknown soldier named Hou Yuxiao?"

"Nobody? Are you crazy? You haven't read Da Jin's three demon rankings this month and White Deer Academy's small demon slaying ranking, right?"

"Hou Yuxiao, the Thousand-faced Jade Man, is twenty-six years old. He has cultivated in the second level of a grandmaster. He is sure to have the strength of the fourth level of a grandmaster. He has learned martial arts, Canngling Stick Technique, and Ape Demon Stick Technique. He has understood the true meaning of the stick method.

One blow severely damaged Ren Feixing, the bronze commander of Longxiang County, and defeated Mu Qingwu, the bronze commander of Yangping County. In the three rankings released just this month, he was already ranked 93rd on the rising star list."

"Wait a minute, how old is Hou Yuxiao?"

"Twenty-six years old, that's not all. Look below. Hou Yuxiao also has a younger brother, Hou Yuduan. He is a minor Confucian who has cultivated in the second level of Yuwen. Ren Feixing is undefeated in a single fight. He defeated the deputy hall master and grandmaster of Fengbo Hall in Yangping County.

Gui Zhaoqi, who has cultivated in the third realm, surrendered, and the Jin Dynasty ranked him 97th on the rising star list. Look, Hou Yuduan is only twenty-one years old!"

"hiss………"

A gasp of air reached his ears from the banquet hall, but Ren Tianxing's face was not surprised at all. It was not that he was not surprised. The main reason was that he knew the news last night. His reaction at that time was different from that of the people inside.

Pretty much the same.

A grandmaster in his early twenties, this talent...

Ren Tianxing's eyes flashed with surprise and solemnity, but he still did not choose to go in and continued to listen to the discussions inside calmly.

"These two brothers also teamed up to kill Ding Dian, the king of Shenzhao. White Deer Academy put the two brothers on the Great Demon Slayer List because they killed too many people. Hou Yuxiao 492 and Hou Yuduan 503. This is interesting. This Hou Yuduan cultivated...

Confucianism and Taoism, even those who practice Confucianism and Taoism have become demons, and White Deer Academy won’t give you an explanation, hahahaha!”

"Isn't this strange? There are people from Bailu Academy in Yanzhou who have joined the Jin Dynasty as officials. They may have done more evil than those demons. In my opinion, this so-called Haoran righteousness in Confucianism is just made up by them.

Yes, it's not up to them to decide whether it's good or bad..."

"You two, do you have any objections to our White Deer Academy?"

The discussion became more and more exaggerated. When he heard these two voices mocking White Deer Academy, Ren Tianxing knew that something was going to go wrong.

Sure enough, a voice as gentle as jade sounded, and his expression immediately changed slightly, and he glanced at Yue Changhai.

Yue Changhai nodded and whispered: "It's Xiao Renfeng!"

The two people who were discussing just now lost their voice in an instant. The whole banquet hall was silent for more than ten breaths. Soon, two people opened the door nervously. When they saw Ren Tianxing, they didn't dare to say hello and just looked blank.

's escaped.

The door was opened, and everyone naturally discovered Ren Tianxing. Not far from the door, a young man wearing a white Confucian shirt with an elegant and handsome face smiled at him as if he had expected it, stretched out his hand and said:

"Swordsman Ren is here, please come in quickly!"

The entire banquet hall was about thirty meters square, and it was packed with about two hundred people. Seeing Ren Tianxing standing at the door, most of the people stood up from their seats and greeted him one after another.

Ren Tianxing ignored the others, but bowed respectfully to Xiao Renfeng, who invited him in, and said, "Tianxing pays homage to Mr. Xiao!"

Xiao Renfeng is only twenty-three years old. In terms of age, it would be enough for Ren Tianxing to be his grandfather. However, Jianghu never looks at age. Xiao Renfeng's cultivation level in the Three Realms of Objects and Things is one level higher than his.

, if it were calculated based on cultivation level, he would actually call him senior.

Just by calling him "Young Master", he was able to take advantage of Xiao Renfeng.

"Sword Master Ren doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" Xiao Renfeng looked humble and solemnly stepped forward to help Ren Tianxing up. There was no hint of arrogance in his expression.

Ren Tianxing was a little stunned. Thinking of the many auras surrounding this elegant young man in front of him, and looking at his performance at the moment, he immediately knew the reason.

If the two people who just mocked White Deer Academy had been replaced by other disciples from the Confucian sect, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to escape so easily. However, Xiao Renfeng just reminded the two of them, not even in his tone of voice.

severe.

A disciple of the Confucius, the recognized No. 1 Holy Son in Yangzhou and Yanzhou, and a successor to Confucianism and Taoism in today's world. No matter who gets one of these titles, his tail will already be raised to the sky.

But Xiao Renfeng, whether he dared to ridicule the people of White Deer Academy when facing the two talented and powerful Qi realm practitioners just now, or when facing Ren Tianxing, a heaven-level grand master, there was never a trace of arrogance on his face from beginning to end.

Gentle as jade, a handsome young man.

Xiao Renfeng is definitely worthy of these eight words.

"I have heard about Young Master Xiao's name for a long time, but when I saw him today, I realized that there is no false scholar under the great reputation. He is truly worthy of being called the No. 1 Holy Son of Confucianism!"

"Ren Swordsman has received an award. It's just a false reputation, not worth mentioning."

It was obviously not the first time that Xiao Renfeng heard such praise. His familiar self-effacement was still filled with sincerity. He really believed that these were just false claims.

Ren Tianxing could not help but be impressed by this Confucian and Taoist saint. After nodding with him, he turned his attention to the group of people in the innermost part of the banquet hall. He chuckled and said: "There are too many seniors here today, so Tianxing can't cover them all one by one."

I’ve paid you a visit. Seniors have been visiting Fucheng for many days, and Tianxing just came to pay you a visit today. I’ve offended you so much, so I hope you can forgive me!”

"The demon sect's army invaded the country, and the swordsman was appointed to take charge of Guangling Mansion. It is understandable that he is busy with affairs, so there is no need to be polite."

Zen Master Yuankong was the first to speak with a faint smile, indicating that he didn't mind. Then Xiao Renfeng returned to his seat and followed him with a smile: "We came here so rashly that we didn't go to the Sword Master to meet with anyone first.

Sword Master, if we are the ones who are most likely to be offended, we should be the ones to do it, so there is no need to be polite if you let Sword Master do it."

Zhang Yuning, Lian Ningxue, and Mo Xuzi did not speak, and just responded to his guess before coming in. Ren Tianxing sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm. He walked to a place not far from everyone, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke loudly

He opened his mouth and said: "Since you are all gathered here today, you must have heard the news about the fall of the three counties in Hexi. The Rakshasa demon sect tore up the Jin capital alliance and caused a great war.

Now that millions of living beings in the three counties have fallen into the hands of the devil, Ren, as the swordsman of the Guangling Mansion, cannot sit idly by and ignore it. I am willing to use all my troops in Guangling to attack the demon sect and save the people of the three counties."

"What Swordsman Ren said is right, the Demonic Cult is doing the opposite, and it is not allowed by heaven!"

"The people of the three counties are trapped in Lingwu, and we cannot sit idly by and watch."

"I am willing to follow the swordsman Ren to defeat the demon sect and show the righteous way of martial arts!"

………

His righteous and awe-inspiring words immediately attracted many cheers from the audience. Unfortunately, they were all local warriors from Guangling Prefecture, and these people only had Gang Qi realm cultivation, not even a Grandmaster realm master, let alone Zen Master Yuankong and Mo

Kyoshi’s five people.

"My little girl, Zhao Qingxue, may I ask what Swordmaster Ren means? Is he going to send troops across the river to take back the three counties in Hexi from the hands of the Demon Cult?"

Ren Tianxing was about to continue speaking when suddenly a question came from the hall, which made his face stiffen. His face turned blue and white, and he paused for more than ten breaths without speaking.

This was obviously a matter of not opening the other pot. Ren Tianxing knew Zhao Qingxue's identity and did not dare to scold him angrily. He could only keep a stiff face.

"Qingxue, don't talk nonsense. The counterattack across the river is a serious matter. I think if Xu doesn't say anything, Ren Jianshi won't be able to make a decision, right?"

Ren Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief. He first cast a grateful look at Mo Xuzi who had rescued him, then turned to face everyone and continued: "Taoist Master Mo Xuzi is right. Crossing the river to counterattack is such a big thing.

Ren will wait for Xu Du’s Holy Judgment, but if the demon sect’s army dares to cross the river and attack our six counties in the east of Hedong, Ren will guarantee that they will never come back!”

"There are many masters in the six counties of Hedong. If the demon sect's army dares to come, none of them will be killed!"

"Ren Swordsman is ranked 98th on the Dragon Ranking. Who else in the Demon Cult can defeat him except that witch Zhan Taiqing?"

"Hmph, no matter how powerful that demon girl Zhan Taiqing is, can she be able to defeat Xizhao Sword Shou? If it weren't for the overwhelming number of demon sect soldiers and the demon sect's many tricks, I don't think the demon sect would be able to defeat the three counties in Hexi!"

………

As soon as these words came back, the atmosphere among the people below calmed down again, and everyone responded to Ren Tianxing.

Only Zhao Qingxue, who had just been scolded by his master, began to mock the Demon Cult when he heard everyone's words. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, showing some disdain. Only when he lowered his head and saw the Dajin Demon Dao Rising Star List in his hand, the corners of his mouth turned.

Show a smile.

That list happened to be on the page of Hou Yuxiao...

While everyone in the banquet hall was talking a lot, Zen Master Yuankong, Mo Xuzi, Lian Ningxue, Zhang Yuning, and Xiao Renfeng, who had been sitting silently, looked up to the west almost at the same time, with a look of shock in their eyes, and suddenly stood up from their seats.

He stood up and disappeared into the banquet hall into an afterimage.

The five people disappeared so quickly that even Zhao Qingxue didn't realize it, let alone the other people in the banquet hall. It wasn't until two terrifying auras came from the horizon that everyone present suddenly raised their heads and looked out the window, their faces filled with emotion.

It's shocking.

"Old man Tuoba Tao, one day I will make you pay with blood!"

An extremely tragic sound came from the sky. Many people in the hall first looked stunned when they heard it, and then the horror on the faces of some people gradually turned into horror.

"Why does this scream sound like... Gu Jianshou?"

I don't know who said something with a trembling tone. This sentence instantly made all the local warriors in Guangling Mansion present turn extremely pale with a swishing sound.
