Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

As soon as Yue Wenzhu, Ke Jiangyun, and Gao Haicheng spoke, there was a sudden silence below. Everyone turned their attention to the three of them, and many people's expressions began to flicker again.

"You can now express your opinion whether to hand over or not. Don't worry, the master has spoken first. Everything is done voluntarily. If you don't want to hand over, the Holy Church will never blame you!"

Hou Yuduan's tone was still calm and calm, without any fault or threat.

"With the words of the Fifth Young Master, Qiu is relieved. Our Huangshan Sect in Pinghu County really doesn't have that much money. I hope the Fifth Young Master can forgive me!"

As soon as Qiu Liben, the leader of the Huangshan Sect, opened his mouth, many people with uncertain expressions immediately focused their attention on Hou Yuduan, wanting to carefully observe his reaction.

But when Hou Yuduan heard this, he showed an understanding expression, nodded lightly and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, the Holy Cult will never blame Sect Master Qiu."

Hou Yuduan's indifferent reaction caught the attention of everyone and immediately helped them confirm their choice, and everyone expressed their stance one after another.

"We, the Qinghu Gang, are willing to help."

"We, the Hualing Sword Sect, are also willing to help."

"The Jinjianmen of Yeyin County is financially weak, so I forgive you, Fifth Young Master!"

"Mr. Zhang from Donglu County is willing to pay for his redemption."

"Shuiyunmen, Jinxiang County, is financially weak. Please forgive me, Fifth Young Master."

…………

In just over a hundred breaths, a total of thirty-five incoming forces had expressed their intention to end their stance. Hou Yuduan looked around below, nodded and said: "Everyone has made their decision, so this first thing is over.

.”

"What is the second thing? Fifth Young Master, please continue talking!"

"Everyone, please be patient. If Hou Mou remembers correctly, there are seven families that were unwilling to spend money to redeem people. They are Jinjianmen in Yeyin County, Shuiyunmen in Jinxiang County, Huangshan Sect in Pinghu County, and Longshan Sect in Pinghu County.

The Fan family in Xiang County, the Dongning Escort Agency, the Beichen Escort Agency in Yangping County, the Feiyun Gang..."

From the moment Hou Yuduan started to read out the names of the forces one by one, the expressions of the heads of the seven forces began to change. They had already realized that something was wrong.

As for the more than 20 other forces that agreed to pay, although they were not named, they all looked at Hou Yuduan with some confusion, wondering why he read out the names of these seven forces.

Didn’t I just say that the Holy Religion will not pursue it?

"Don't worry, everyone. Since Hou said that the Holy Cult will not blame him, he will definitely be fine. It's just that there is no need for these seven families to participate in the next two things that I want to talk about. The person who came is the person I just read.

Those who are named seven powerful families should be taken to the vacant room upstairs to rest first!"

More than a dozen Gang Qi realm warriors suddenly walked in outside the door. The leaders were Nie Xinchuan and Liu Jianghong. They walked to the seats of the seven powers and invited them politely: "Please!"

Seeing this scene, the heads of the seven forces couldn't sit still. They wanted to stand up and say something, but Hou Yuduan didn't give them a chance to speak at all. He only slightly released some aura of Xiao Confucian realm, and immediately let

The seven people closed their mouths.

"Hou is busy with his affairs. I hope the seven of you will not bring trouble on yourselves. Someone will talk to you in detail when you go up. Please don't waste everyone's time here, please!"

The tone of Hou Yuduan's words was no longer as kind as before. Coupled with the aura on his body, the seven people suddenly realized that the fifth young master in front of them was a genuine master of the Little Confucian realm, and they all immediately shut up.

"Fifth Young Master, Qiu just didn't think carefully. We, the Huangshan Sect, are willing to pay this money, and please give Fifth Young Master Qiu a chance!"

On the way out, Qiu Liben, the head of the Huangshan Sect, still spoke to Hou Yuduan unwillingly and wanted to regret it. Unfortunately, Hou Yuduan didn't even look at him. He could only bite the bullet and left the hall with Nie Xinchuan and others.

After watching the seven waves of people leave, Hou Yuduan turned his head and looked at everyone, his face becoming friendly again.

"This second matter is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, that is, how the Holy Religion plans to govern our three counties in Hexi!"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly became interested.

"The Holy Cult has given me two paths for the three counties in Hexi. The first one is to merge into our Yongzhou Xingnan Prefecture and become the three new counties under the rule of Xingnan Prefecture. When this war is over, all of you incoming forces will have to return to Xingnan Prefecture.

Only after accepting the evaluation of Xingnan Prefecture and being sealed into the stream by the Holy Religion can we enjoy the same treatment as other stream forces in Yongzhou!"

After the first path was explained, everyone below showed resistance at the same time, almost without exception.

Although the three counties in Hexi Province were previously under the Guangling Prefecture of Xuzhou, because they are separated from the other six counties by a Tongtian River, the jurisdiction of the Guangling Prefecture is actually beyond the reach of the other six counties. Therefore, the three counties have strong autonomy.

First of all, being merged into Xingnan Prefecture means that they will lose this autonomy and will be subject to various jurisdictions from their superiors;

Secondly, after being merged into Xingnan Prefecture, you have to undergo another evaluation and receive the Holy Religion's seal before you can become a legitimate and mainstream force in Yongzhou. These steps are not only cumbersome, but also involve going to the prefectural city to manage relationships, which requires a lot of effort.

It costs a lot of money.

With various factors mixed together, naturally no one among the twenty-eight forces present would agree with this first approach. However, they did not refuse directly and continued to wait for Hou Yuduan to come up with the second option.

The reaction of everyone was naturally what Hou Yuduan had expected. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he said with a smile: "This second road is to establish the three counties of Hexi plus Tongling County, with the four counties as the core.

One government is called Hexi Prefecture, and the governor of Hexi Prefecture is elected by the four counties of Hexi. The Holy Church will not establish any additional institutions except the warden here. The whole government shall be governed by the four counties of Hexi.

Make your own decision, as long as taxation is normal, the Holy Religion promises not to interfere!

Siluke

After the establishment of Hexi Prefecture, the inflow forces in the entire territory can also make their own assessments. As long as the prefecture city submits it to the Yongdu General Altar, they can be issued an inflow seal and enjoy the same treatment as other inflow forces in Yongzhou."

As soon as Hou Yuduan finished speaking, the whole place was silent for more than ten breaths before bursts of cheers broke out.

"Yue Mou approves of the second path with both hands!"

"Gao Mou also agreed to establish Hexi Prefecture."

"Then of course the Hexi Prefecture will be established."

"I also agree to establish Hexi Prefecture!"

…………

In Hexi Prefecture, the prefect elects himself, and the whole government shall govern and make his own decisions. In addition to setting up a warden, the holy religion will not interfere as long as the taxation is normal. As soon as these conditions are set, if you do not choose the second item

Road, there is definitely something wrong with the brain.

"Okay, as I expected, you all agree with me. It seems that the establishment of Hexi Prefecture is widely expected.

But everyone should know that the Holy Religion will not give us such generous treatment in vain!"

Hou Yuduan's words immediately made everyone sober. Someone asked directly: "Fifth Young Master, please tell me what the conditions are. If Hexi Prefecture can be established, as long as the conditions are not excessive, I think everyone can agree."

.”

"This is the third thing Hou Mou wants to say today!" Hou Yuduan showed a faint smile, stretched out three fingers, paused, looked down, and asked: "You should know that our holy religion and Xuzhou

The war is not over yet, right?"

Hou Yuduan clearly felt that as soon as he finished saying these words, the enthusiastic atmosphere among everyone immediately fell into depression.

Obviously, these people should have guessed what he was going to say next.

"The condition for the Holy Religion to allow us to establish Hexi Prefecture is that I, the Hou family, will take the lead, together with all the incoming forces from the three counties, to form a team of 20,000 people, and go to Xuzhou with the Holy Religion army.

In addition, we should be responsible for the money, food and supplies of this army, and the Holy Religion will not care about it. Correspondingly, as long as it is a territory that we have conquered alone, it can be brought under the control of Hexi Prefecture, and the Holy Religion will also

I won’t care!”

Although Hou Yuduan's tone was a little encouraging, the expressions of other people in the audience became a little subtle.

"The army of 20,000 warriors must all have warriors above the fifth level. Among the twenty-eight incoming forces, yours and my two, the number of warriors above the fifth level can only be 4,000 to 5,000 at most. Half of them will be

That's right, including the Gao family, our three families have a total of 6,000 people, so there is still a gap of 14,000. Counting the Hou family, who is stronger, he has 4,000 people, and the remaining 10,000 people are made up of the 25 third-rate families.

Evenly divided, each family has to provide 400 people, which may be a bit difficult..."

Hearing Ke Jiangyun's voice transmission, Yue Wenzhu nodded slightly, and also condensed a trace of true energy, and responded through the voice transmission: "Even if the top third-rate forces are fifth-level or above warriors, they can only be seven or eight hundred at most, and ordinary ones are only

There are about five hundred, and the weaker ones are even only three or four hundred. You can't let everyone send all the elite disciples in the sect to the battlefield. If you force a team of 20,000 people, it will take away almost all the effective strength of the three counties...

…”

At this point, Yue Wenzhu suddenly stopped and quickly turned his head to look at Ke Jiangyun. Both of them saw a hint of shock in the other's eyes.

Maybe, this was their intention...

"Since you all just agreed to the second option and decided to establish Hexi Prefecture, the third thing can be carried out at the same time..."

"Fifth Young Master, wait a minute, we thought about it carefully and feel that it is not impossible to merge into Xingnan Mansion."

"Yes, yes, there is no need to choose the second path."

"Although Hexi Prefecture has a nice name, it may not bring much benefit. If it is merged into Xingnan Prefecture, it might not be that bad."

"It makes sense. It seems that it can be merged into Xingnan Mansion..."

……………

The voices of everyone speaking became quieter and quieter, because they all noticed that the smile on Hou Yuduan's face on the high platform was slowly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"In this way, you all feel that it is better to merge into Xingnan Prefecture than to establish Hexi Prefecture. Hou Mou confirms it again and advises you to think clearly before answering this time!"

Of all the words Hou Yuduan said today, this was the most obviously threatening sentence, and he also released a hint of Xiao Confucianism.

The people below noticed Hou Yuduan's powerful aura. Even those who originally wanted to speak were too frightened to speak. More people came to their senses completely and established the Hexi Mansion. It was actually given by the Hou family.

The only option.

Even if they want to merge into Xingnan Prefecture, the Hou family will not allow it...

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and finally all of them unanimously focused their attention on the three people in the front, Yue Wenzhu, Ke Jiangyun, and Gao Haicheng.

At this moment, these three people are the only ones who can look calm under Hou Yuduan's powerful aura. In other words, these are the only three families who have the courage and ability to oppose the Hou family. They can only place their hope on these three families to take the lead.

Already…

As everyone knows, while everyone is pinning their hopes on these three families, Yue Wenzhu and the others are under greater pressure than them at the moment.

Yue Wenzhu looked at Hou Yuduan, and a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead. Not to mention that the three families had united, even if he was named Jianzong alone, he was not afraid of the Hou family. But the problem was that today's banquet of the Hou family was based on the name of the holy sect.

The first meeting was held, and it is very possible that what Hou Yuduan said was the meaning of the holy religion.

The logic makes sense. The war between Yongxu and Xuzhou has not ended yet. The Holy Cult wants to send people from the three counties of Hexi. Rejecting the Hou family now is tantamount to rejecting the Holy Cult...

You must know that although these twenty-eight mainstream forces have surrendered, they have not been recognized by the Holy Religion so far. Strictly speaking, they are still considered guilty and belong to the forces under the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect.

If they refuse to send troops to help the Holy Religion fight the war, wouldn't it prove that they all have second thoughts?

Twenty-eight families, 20,000 people, including the Hou family, almost every family needs more than 70% of their elite disciples to make up enough, and it is very likely that they will go to fight in Hedong. This is almost

It's like a narrow escape...

The eyes of Yue Wenzhu and the three others met in mid-air, and there was a slight struggle in their eyes. They did not dare to reject the Holy Religion, but they were unwilling to agree to this plan of extermination.

The three of them didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't make a sound either. For a while, the entire hall of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building was silent and silent.

boom………………

Suddenly, a heavy yellow object suddenly fell from the roof and landed directly in front of everyone. There was a loud noise in the hall. Everyone looked down and their bodies trembled, with a hint of astonishment in their eyes.

The thing that hit the ground was not a heavy object, but a person, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe. To be more specific, it was a corpse. His head seemed to have been hit by something heavy, and he was dying.

In front of him, his eyes were still filled with horrified corpses.

"Isn't this Qiu Liben, the head of Huangshan Sect? He was just invited up..."

A man who recognized Qiu Liben screamed in surprise, but before he could finish his words, another corpse fell directly from the roof to the ground.

boom……

"Ding Dacheng, the master of the Golden Sword Sect."

boom……

"Fan Pingdong, the head of the Fan family."

boom……

"The head of Beicheng Escort Agency is Yu Kong."

boom……

"The leader of the Feiyun Gang, Wu Yingting."

boom……

"The head of the Dongning Escort Bureau, Ning Baihe."

boom……

"Master of Shuiyun Sect, Duan Peng."

……………………

There were seven loud noises in a row, which almost resounded deep in the hearts of everyone, especially when someone whispered the identities of these seven people. All the leaders of the twenty-eight mainstream forces in the audience broke out in cold sweat on their backs.

Even Yue Wenzhu and the other three are no exception.

However, they had not yet calmed down completely.

From the top of the building, another indifferent voice came out.

"Golden Sword Sect, Shuiyun Sect, Huangshan Sect, Fan Clan, Dongning Escort Agency, Beichen Escort Agency, and Feiyun Gang, these seven forces colluded with the Wanjian Sect to resist the Holy Cult. The evidence of guilt is conclusive. There is no need for trial. All of them will be seized immediately.

Confiscation of property.

Qiu Liben, Ding Dacheng, Fan Pingdong, Yu Kong, Wu Yingting, Ning Baihe, Duan Peng and their immediate disciples are all to be killed without mercy. The remaining disciples will be immediately arrested and used as soldiers to give them the opportunity to pay tribute to their crimes!"

This voice made everyone tremble with fear from the beginning. When they noticed that the voice was getting closer and closer, they all raised their heads and looked at the second floor, only to find a young man in Tsing Yi who looked very similar to Hou Yuduan on the high platform.

The man was walking down leisurely while finishing all the sentences of the seven people with a smile on his face...

Tsing Yi has a similar appearance to Hou Yuduan. Looking at the expression on the face of the Hou family warrior in the hall and the unfathomable powerful aura on the other person's body, the identity of the Tsing Yi man is already obvious:

The head of the Hou family, Hou Yuxiao...

"For the establishment of Hexi Prefecture, I, the Lingyuan clan, applaud with both hands!"

Gao Haicheng suddenly stood up and spoke loudly, which frightened Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun. The two of them thought to themselves, "Old Fox," and hurriedly followed him and stood up.

"Since we are ministers of the Holy Religion, it is our duty to send troops!"

"Qiu Liben and the seven people secretly harbored two evil intentions and died unjustly. Master Hou did well to kill them!"

"The establishment of Hexi Prefecture is imminent and I can't wait."

……………………

Hou Yuduan looked at the rapid changes in the faces of these people and couldn't help but shake his head. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Talking well is not as good as intimidation. Strong strength is indeed worth a thousand words.

"Okay, seniors, you are all people who can distinguish right from wrong. Then Hou Mou hereby sincerely invites you to join hands with me to build Hexi Mansion, please!

"

"Master Hou, you're welcome, I'll just wait and respect you, please!"

Seeing the heads of the twenty-eight factions present raising their wine glasses to the eldest brother Hou Yuxiao, Hou Yuduan knew that there was no longer any suspense about the establishment of Hexi Prefecture.
