Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"Yun Ye, this information is very important. You have worked hard in Yongdu for the over half a year. Go back and rest first. When I just returned, I saw your sister waiting outside for you for a long time!"

"It's what I ought to do, thank you for the praise, Fifth Master. Family Head, I will take my leave now."

Cheng Yunye wasn't foolish. He knew that the Family Head and the other four were about to discuss important matters. Moreover, he was indeed worried about his sister, so he took his leave and walked out of the main hall.

Only five people remained in the main hall. Hou Yuxiao gestured for the four to sit down, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment before shaking his head helplessly and saying, "I thought originally, Xiong Yun Gang and the Shen Clan were seeking death by vying for Xingnan Prefecture so urgently. We even considered them fools. It appears we were the fools. Judging from Shen Gufan's more proactive attitude than Wan Renjue, it seems the Shen Clan must have known about the major changes coming to the Xiayuan Dao assembly. No wonder they have been so urgent recently..."

The other three didn't react to these words, but Hou Yuling's eyes flickered with curiosity as she looked at Hou Yuxiao and revealed a trace of puzzlement, asking, "After swallowing the Yinsha Sect and taking over Yinling at the end of July, the Shen Clan destroyed the Official Road and stationed people to guard the border tightly, prohibiting the flow of people between the two regions. Our people from the Lower Hou Sect have been unable to obtain news from there for a long time. Big Brother, do you have any news about the Shen Clan's movements?"

Even though Hou Yuxiao was the Family Head, he was not all-knowing and all-powerful. The Lower Hou Sect under her control was actually the source of all information for the Hou Clan. Even Hou Yuxiao was unlikely to receive news from other places before her, hence her question.

"I'll introduce you to three people for you to get to know!"

Hou Yuxiao revealed a mysterious smile at the corner of her mouth and lightly clapped her hands towards the entrance of the hall, saying, "Come in!"

Hou Yucheng and the other four showed a curious look towards the outside of the main hall, only to see three people dressed in black and wearing masks slowly walk in, heading straight to Hou Yuxiao and bowing to the ground, saying, "Subordinates, pay respect to the Lord!"

Upon hearing the voices of two of them, Hou Yujie's pupils constricted, and he quietly placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Hou Yuduan apparently recognized the voice of one of them, and seeing the posture of the three, seemed to understand something. He instantly turned his head to look at Hou Yuxiao with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"You can take off your masks now!"

Upon hearing Hou Yuxiao's words, the three submissively removed their masks. Hou Yucheng and the other three had their expressions frozen upon seeing the true faces of the three, except for Hou Yuduan. The remaining three turned to look at Hou Yuxiao, their eyes full of confusion.

The three were none other than the Hall Master of Fengbo Hall, Ke Jiangyun, and the Elders of the Shen Clan, Shen Gu Yun, and the Young Gang Leader of Xiong Yun Gang, Wan Xingyun.

"Big Brother, you didn't kill Ke Jiangyun. How come Shen Gu Yun and Wan Xingyun would..."

Hou Yujie's mind was filled with confusion. It's understandable for Ke Jiangyun, but for the other two, he clearly remembered that Hou Yuxiao personally handed them back to Wan Renjue and Shen Gufan during the establishment of the Hexi manor. How could they appear in the Hou Clan now, and even more, refer to Big Brother as "Lord"?

"I just knew that Big Brother wouldn't let these two go so easily!"

Hou Yuduan seemed to have anticipated this, and after speaking, he looked at Hou Yuxiao with an inquisitive expression, asking, "Big Brother, do you have a method to enslave others?"

Seeing Hou Yuxiao nod in confirmation, the four of Hou Yucheng immediately filled with joy.

"There are indeed such cultivation techniques in the martial world, like last time during the Hexi establishment, Ying Ning'er, the Sect Master of the Moling Sect from Pingjin Prefecture, cultivated the Earth Spirit Slave Seal, which is an Earth Level cultivation technique capable of enslaving others. However, the strongest technique can only ensure temporary enslavement and requires continuous cultivation to maintain. Big Brother, how can this technique of yours..."

It made sense for Ke Jiangyun, but as for Wan Xingyun and Shen Gu Yun, they had each returned to Xiong Yun Gang and the Shen Clan at the beginning of July. Their appearance in the Hou Clan four months later proved that whatever Hou Yuxiao did when he let them go was still effective after four months, which was much more powerful than Ying Ning'er's Earth Spirit Slave Seal.

The other three also understood Hou Yuduan's meaning and turned their heads eagerly to look at Hou Yuxiao, especially the third one, Hou Yuling, who seemed very interested in such a method, almost pleadingly looking at Hou Yuxiao, as if she was about to say, "Big Brother, teach me."

"This is not a cultivation technique. There are no time limits, and it doesn't require my cultivation to maintain. Consider it one of my unique methods, one that I can't teach you."

Hou Yuling and the other two immediately lost their enthusiasm, only Hou Yuduan's eyes suddenly lit up, asking, "No restrictions at all?"

Hou Yuxiao immediately shook his head, knowing what Old Fifth was thinking.

"Of course not, it can only be used on those whose cultivation and destiny are lower than mine, and also when the person is on the brink of death!"

"Destiny?" Hou Yujie asked, a look of confusion crossing his face.

Hou Yuduan's eyes revealed a flash of insight as he explained, "Destiny is similar to fortune, but broader. It encompasses one's identity, bloodline, strength, talent, and potential achievements. A high destiny translates to nobility, while a low destiny denotes lowliness."

After his explanation, the other three finally understood.

Having said that, Hou Yuduan immediately thought of something else and looked at Hou Yuxiao, asking in a low voice, "So those two from the Jiang Family?"

"Can't control them, not for now."

Although Hou Yuduan looked disappointed, it seemed he had anticipated this.

If the Great Yu Royal Family had indeed all perished, leaving only Jiang Yuli and Jiang Yuyun, the siblings, then looking across The World, there would not be many with a higher destiny than these two.

"Listen now to the movements of the Shen Clan and Xiong Yun Gang!"

Hou Yuxiao didn't pursue the topic further and, after speaking, gestured for Shen Gu Yun among the three to start speaking. Hou Yucheng and the others came back to their senses and pricked up their ears.
