Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

The fifth day of March in the year 1325 of the New Yu Calendar

Xingnan Fucheng, Hexi Alliance Headquarters

Duan Hong sat alone, his expression not very good.

There were three single tables in front of him, of which Wan Xingyun and Shen Guyun were seated on the left and right seats respectively. The seat in the middle, belonging to the Hou family, was empty and unoccupied.

As agreed upon on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he, the alliance leader, was already about a quarter of an hour later than the scheduled time. Unexpectedly, Hou Yuxiao actually saw a figure when he arrived.

Looking at the faces of Wan Xingyun and Shen Guyun in front of him, there was no reaction at all. Duan Hong was actually eighty-point certain about his previous guesses.

According to the rules, the four families in Hexi are equals. Hou Yuxiao arrived late and the two of them didn't react at all. It was clear that they put themselves under Hou Yuxiao.

That is to say, the deaths of Shen Gufan and Wan Renjue were really caused by these two people in collusion with the Hou family. These are two... ruthless people!

Duan Hong felt a chill in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, a figure in a white Confucian shirt walked in outside the door. It was Yuduan, the fifth eldest son of the Hou family.

Before Hou Yuduan walked in, he bowed slightly, cupped his hands towards the three of them with a slight smile, walked to Hou's seat, and spoke humbly:

"You three have been waiting for a long time. Unfortunately, my brother has recently gained some insights in cultivation and has gone into retreat. Therefore, Yu Duan will be sent to take over this alliance meeting. I hope you three will bear with me!"

Seeing Hou Yuduan sitting directly at Hou's seat before he could react, Duan Hong frowned and said in a deep voice: "The master of the Hou family is too arrogant!"

This was the first meeting since the establishment of the alliance, and what was discussed was important matters such as the four coalition forces and the defense of Hexi. Not to mention that this meeting was proposed by Hou Yuxiao himself. He proposed it, but he was not present and sent

A Hou Yutuan arrived.

This is no longer an air of pretense, it simply means that Duan Hong, the Xiongyun Gang and the Shen family are not taken seriously.

The moment Duan Hong said these words, his eyes were always on Wan Xingyun and Shen Guyun. He saw that the two of them didn't react at all. Even after he finished speaking, the two of them turned to look at each other in a tacit understanding.

Elsewhere, his heart suddenly felt half cold.

By this moment, he was certain that his guess was correct!

The Shen family and the Xiongyun Gang have really colluded with the Hou family.

Duan Hong raised his head and looked at Hou Yuduan with a heavy heart, and found that Hou Yuduan was looking at him calmly. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the heaviness in his heart instantly turned into a trace of fear, and his back gradually began to sweat.

The three families have united together, which means that from the moment he arrived in Xingnan Fucheng, the situation of the entire Pingtianmen was already in danger. As the leader of the alliance, his life was at stake at this moment.

Is it in the hands of three people?

There are hundreds of thousands of Pingtian Clan members, and they are also stationed in Jiu Falcon and Yuzhao counties. He has the second level of Yuan Dan magical power, but just trying to break out of the Xiongyun Gang's lair on his own is a fool's errand, let alone return it.

The Shen family and the Hou family were watching.

Now, it's over...

"Leader Duan, don't worry. The Hexi Alliance has been established. From now on, our four families will be a family that shares blessings and hardships regardless of each other. The Xiongyun Gang and the Shen Family have already formed an alliance with my Hou family before. As long as there is peace,

If Tianmen can work together with our three families, the Hexi Alliance will definitely achieve great things in the future, Leader Duan, what do you think?"

Although Hou Yuduan's tone was gentle, when he said these words, he had already walked in front of Duan Hong, or more specifically, in front of Wan Xingyun and Shen Guyun. The situation suddenly became three to one.

Hou Yuduan, Shen Guyun, and Wan Xingyun faced Duan Hong alone.

Duan Hong saw the domineering look on Hou Yuduan's eyebrows and the threatening look on the faces of Wan Xingyun and Shen Guyun behind him, and his body suddenly felt powerful.

If he wasn't stupid, how could he not understand the meaning of Hou Yuduan's words?

This is forcing him to express his position.

"Now there is Leiyin Temple in the west, the holy religion of Rakshasa; there is a temple in the south, which is eyeing the tiger; in the east it is connected to Tongtian River. Although Hebo has some relationship with my Hou family, it cannot be guaranteed for a long time; Xuzhou in the west is still plagued by war, but

Once the war is over, I won't be able to turn my attention to Hexi. My Hexi is connected to the Yunlangu River in the northwest. Thousands of demons are raging on the river. It can be said that our land in Hexi is full of powerful enemies on all sides.

Hou said bluntly, with the strength of Pingtianmen, in these troubled times, it is impossible to rely on one's own strength, and it is a dead end to be alone. It is better to join my Hou family and use the Hexi Alliance as the basis.

If the four families work together, they may be able to win a place in this troubled world. I wonder what Alliance Leader Duan wants?"

Duan Hong was silent for more than ten breaths, looked up at Hou Yuduan, and asked in a deep voice: "My Pingtianmen is not strong, but no matter how you say it, Jianye Mansion is top-notch. Even if you want to switch to his family, choose Leiyin Temple, Rakshasa Saint

Sect, or other holy places, no matter how bad it is, it can still be the Earth Spirit Demon Sect, why do you want to join the Hou family?"

Now that Hou Yuduan is so straightforward, Duan Hong no longer hides it, and his tone is more or less contemptuous. The so-called switching to another family, to put it bluntly, is to be someone else's dog. Since you are a dog, you must choose a powerful master.

, let alone the Holy Land, even compared with the Earth-Level Demon Sect, a prefecture-level force, the Hou family is not powerful.

Then why did he choose the Hou clan?

His original intention was that Hou Yuduan would be a little emotional after hearing these words, but he didn't expect that instead of anger on Hou Yuduan's face, he even smiled softly.

"Hou likes the quick-talking character of Leader Duan. The only holy places that Pingtianmen can choose are the Leiyin Temple that just went south and the Rakshasa Holy Sect to the west. Leiyin Temple is not possible now. Even if the Rakshasa Holy Sect accepts Pingtianmen,

Tianmen, dare to ask Duan leader

, will Leiyin Temple let hundreds of thousands of your disciples go to the west from Jianye Mansion? As for other holy places, they are beyond the reach of the whip. Unless there is a powerful or even martial arts sage, you Pingtian Sect has the qualifications to let other holy places do this.

Is it a lot of trouble?"

Duan Hong's face suddenly darkened when he heard this. The road to seek refuge in Leiyin Temple had been disrupted by the Hexi Alliance. Now it was impossible for him to go back to Leiyin Temple. The Rakshasa Holy Sect further west,

Now we are fighting against Bingzhou,

There is no time to care about them. Even if he accepts Pingtianmen, they will probably have to go to Zhongyuan Road by themselves. The problem is that Leiyin Temple now occupies Jianye Mansion. To go to Zhongyuan Road, Jianye Mansion must be passed by.

Of course, it is impossible for Leiyin Temple to release people.

No other holy land would go to such great lengths for his Pingtian Sect. Hou Yuduan's words hit his pain points word for word, and he was suddenly speechless.

"Since I, the Hou family, can lead the Shen family and the Xiongyun Gang to defeat the first batch of monks from Leiyin Temple who went south, Leader Duan thinks that we are not as good as a mere Earth Spirit Demon Sect?"

There was a trace of calmness in Hou Yuduan's tone. After asking a question, he looked up at Duan Hong and said softly: "Leader Duan just said that my eldest brother is a bit arrogant. If Hou said, in the battle of Longxiangdu, my eldest brother will fight alone to learn the law.

The presiding thing is absolutely true, will Leader Duan still think that my eldest brother is too arrogant?"

Duan Hong's body was shaken, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Hou Yuduan. Seeing the calmness in his eyes, the horror in his heart suddenly increased.

It is true that Hou Yuxiao realized the Dharma by himself!

That means that Hou Yuxiao really has the strength of the Xuanyin realm. How is this possible?

In his early thirties, he has the strength of the Xuanyin realm.

What kind of monster is this?

"To be honest with Leader Duan, although Hou's cultivation qualifications are not comparable to those of his elder brother, they are still quite good. After the Battle of Longxiangdu, Hou also made some gains and broke through to the Yuan Dan realm."

Looking at the illusory inner elixir that slowly floated up behind Hou Yuduan, Duan Hong was already dumbfounded at this moment, and his childish eyes were full of shock. If he remembered correctly, the Hou Yuduan in front of him was the fifth eldest son of the Hou family, and he was only two years old this year.

Sixteen years old.

Twenty-six-year-old Yuan Dan realm?

The key thing is that he still remembers that Hou Yuduan was nicknamed Zhaoyang Moru, and he was a practitioner of Confucianism and martial arts...

"Of course, looking at today's world, I, the Hou family, are nothing. Pingtianmen has other better choices. But the question is, what kind of status can those powerful forces give Pingtianmen? The status that Hexi Alliance gives Pingtianmen now

Is it high?

Furthermore, it has only been five years since our Hou family started to rise in Zhaoyang. Leader Duan must also know what the future will bring. Who can say clearly? The olive branch that our Hou family threw to Pingtianmen today may be...

In the future, if others can’t even ask for something, Leader Duan had better think about it carefully!”

………………

Hou Yuduan watched Duan Hong deep in thought, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.

From the moment they deceived Pingtianmen from Jianye Mansion, many things were already doomed. Duan Hong agreed, and Pingtianmen successfully integrated into Hexi, and everyone was happy. Duan Hong did not agree, just to trouble his elder brother and waste more troubles.

.

The method of enslavement can also be used against Duan Hong, but to be honest, the disadvantages are not small. Although the Xiongyun Gang and the Shen family, led by Wan Xingyun and Shen Guyun, are of the same mind as the Hou family, they can be separated.

It's still a long way to fully integrate into one family.

Now these two families, after all, are together with the Hou family because their two masters are controlled by Hou Yuxiao. It will take a long time for the two families to be perfectly integrated. Wanrenfeng, Wanrenshan, and the Shen family

Some clan elders and even two families

If the Pingtian Clan also uses the method of enslaving Duan Hong to subjugate them, it will be no different from the previous two families, and they will have to spend more energy. This is the reason why Hou Yuduan is wasting his words today.

If Duan Hong can sincerely come together with the Hou family, it will undoubtedly save the Hou family a lot of effort, and that will be a truly happy situation for everyone.

But Ruruo, he doesn't agree...

"Pingtianmen Duan Hong, pay homage to the Fifth Young Master!"

Hou Yuduan thought he had heard wrongly. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Duan Hong with his head bowed respectfully. A hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly stretched out his hand to help him up. He said slightly excitedly: "Leader Duan is an elder. How dare Hou?"

To receive this great gift, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."

With his current level of cultivation at the Yuan Dan level, there is actually no problem in accepting this gift. But after all, Duan Hong is so sensible, so he has to understand the general situation, and he always has to make a polite gesture.

Sure enough, seeing his humble posture, Duan Hong's face looked much better.

"Fifth Young Master should stop calling me the leader of the alliance. The position of leader of the alliance belongs to none other than the Head of the Hou Family. Now that the Head of the Hou Family has gone into seclusion and asked the Fifth Young Master to manage it on his behalf, please invite the Fifth Young Master to take the seat!"

Hou Yuduan did not postpone Duan Hong's invitation. As he walked to the front, he turned back and said: "My eldest brother has said it first. For the time being, the position of leader of the alliance will be held by the leader of Duan. For the reason, Hou is not allowed to elaborate. Please also ask Duan.

Alliance leader, please take good care of me."

Duan Hong frowned when he heard this, but soon he figured it out and knew that the Hou family was afraid of being too popular. After understanding this reason, he suddenly felt a feeling of admiration for the five Hou brothers and sisters. He nodded, what?

Didn't say anything either.

Hou Yuduan walked up to the top and looked back at the three people, especially Duan Hong. A hint of excitement rose in his heart, and his face was slightly moved.

Pingtianmen can be regarded as the first first-class force to join the Hou family normally.

Controlling the Shen family and the Xiongyun Gang is thanks to the eldest brother's methods. As long as we take the time to completely annex and integrate the two families, it shouldn't be a big problem. Coupled with Pingtianmen, the Hou family not only controls the two houses and nine counties.

, and at the same time, it is equivalent to the eclectic integration of four first-class forces.

These are four companies, truly top-notch forces!

"Since the three of them are now our own people, Hou Mou will speak frankly. The Hexi Alliance has been formed. The Nanjiang Temple, Leiyin Temple, and the Rakshasa Holy Cult who will come back from Bingzhou in the future. Hexi has already

We are surrounded by powerful enemies, so we must take precautions as early as possible. Let the three of you report your respective family fortunes first!"

Wan Xingyun was the first to stand up and said respectfully: "I, the Xiongyun Gang, still have an army of 170,000, including 20,000 elites."

Shen Guyun was the second to say: "The Shen family's army still has 130,000 people, including 30,000 elite people who practice the Golden Sword Song."

When Duan Hong saw that the three of them were looking at him, he stopped delaying and stood a step forward. With a proud look on his face, he bowed and said, "I, Pingtianmen, have a total army of 210,000 warriors, including 60,000 elites!"

After hearing Duan Hong's words, Hou Yuduan suddenly became excited. The Jianye Prefecture occupied by Pingtianmen was already much more prosperous than the two prefectures in Xingnan, Hexi. In addition, there had been no major wars during this period, so Pingtianmen must have the strongest family fortune. As early as

He expected it, but the 210,000-strong army still surprised him.

"My Hou family has an army of 180,000, including 30,000 elites. If we combine the three families, our Hexi Alliance will have a total army of 690,000, including 140,000 elites and 550,000 ordinary troops!"

Hou Yuduandong's expression brightened significantly. There were nearly 700,000 troops. In the previous battle in Hedong, the three holy places of the righteous way, the evil way of Jin and King Wuwei, the total number of soldiers from both sides was only this number. Now, the Hou family actually has this number.

Strength.

You know, only two years have passed since the Hedong War.

"The three armies will gather at Baiye Camp in Tongling by the end of this month at the latest. After the Hexi Army is formally established, I will decide on the specific deployment of Hexi defense. Is it okay for the three of you?"

"We will obey the Fifth Young Master's order!"

Hou Yuduan's eyes were full of energy, as if he had seen the scene of 700,000 troops gathering at Baiye Camp.

Seven hundred thousand troops...
