Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains Chapter 66: 053, The Shameless Little Clan [Please Add to Fa

Death of an individual was trivial, in Zhaoyang City, at least tens of thousands had perished overnight, but the shock that Hou Yuxiao experienced from those tens of thousands of deaths, paled in comparison to the scene unfolding before him now.

This was his own little sister, his own flesh and blood, executed without a second thought!

Not to ntion Hou Yuxiao, even Tuoba Huang, who had the quickest reaction, clearly had not anticipated Tian Fazheng taking such a direct approach. Observing father and son of the Tian family, a ripple of emotion surfaced in his eyes.

He dared to bring Tian Honglu because he was certain she was Tian Linong's daughter, and he had even considered using Tian Honglu as a threat against the Tian family. Unexpectedly, Tian Fazheng personally took action…

"Worthy of being the leader of The Righteous Path, a true heir of the academy. Brother Tian's thods are much more ruthless than mine. Why not co to Great Jin? You would surely be esteed by the Emperor!"

Tuoba Huang still wore a look of schadenfreude, uttering a rather sarcastic remark to Tian Fazheng.

The eloquent Tian Fazheng, for the first ti, chose to ignore this mockery, instead closing his eyes and standing quietly, lost in his thoughts.

A red mark appeared on Tian Honglu's neck, blood gradually seeping out. Her eyes, wide open, stared at her brother Tian Fazheng with a face full of indignation and unwillingness, slowly collapsing.

"Miss Tian!"

No matter what everyone else was thinking, at that mont, all silently watched as Tian Honglu fell, with only Hou Yuduan crying out in alarm before rushing forward.

Catching the falling Tian Honglu, his face still showed a hint of shock. No one expected Tian Fazheng to strike directly, and he was even more surprised.

Looking at the blood oozing from Tian Honglu's neck, Hou Yuduan's face was fraught with self-reproach, his heart filled with remorse, and tears quickly filled his eyes.

"Miss Tian, had you listened to , how could it have co to this, how could it have co to this!"

Tian Honglu, who had been staring intently at her father and brother Tian Linong, softened her gaze upon hearing these words, turning to look at Hou Yuduan who was holding her, and as she saw the tears on his face, a warm feeling inexplicably filled her heart.

At least, there was Hou Yuduan, who grieved for her!

By now, she had co to a clear realization; she was rely a pawn, a pawn used by her father and brother as a pretext to attack Zhaoyang. Tuoba Huang's arrival turned her from a pawn into a disposable piece.

"I hate so much..."

Tian Honglu's deep-seated resentnt reached its peak at that mont, a surge of breath rushed to her throat, her grip on Hou Yuduan's hand tightening, her youthful face contorting to the extre.

Unfortunately, the more she seethed with anger, the quicker her life force drained away. After those three words, her life finally reached its end.

But even in death, her eyes, full of indignation, remained open.

"Miss Tian, Miss Tian..."

Feeling Tian Honglu's life fade in his arms, Hou Yuduan's sorrow soared to its zenith. Presumably knowing he couldn't awaken her, he only called out twice before a rage began to slowly rise within him.

Indeed, his acquaintance with Tian Honglu wasn't long, ending now after just half a month, but that didn't stop him from regarding her as a true friend.

Being born in Zhaoyang County, which was under the rule of the Demon Path, was unfortunate for soone like Hou Yuduan who loved literature and was kind at heart. In such an environnt, he was like an outcast, shunned by everyone.

This situation, which grew even worse after his father—who had always supported his interests and encouraged him in his studies—was killed two years ago.

At twenty years of age, he had not a single friend, and except for assisting his eldest brother with clan affairs, he spent most of his ti reading alone in his room.

The care and affection of his brother and sister certainly ward him, but that was family love. While family love was paramount, it couldn't quench his yearning for friendship.

Half a month ago, Tian Honglu, dressed in a red gown, watched him for the first ti from atop a courtyard wall as he read and wrote, curiosity brimming in her shining eyes—a vision that still echoed in his mind.

She, unlike others in Zhaoyang County who would mock him for his literary pursuits, or consider him an outcast, would ask about the books he read and the characters he wrote, sharing many stories about Bailu Academy.

From that mont on, Tian Honglu, just two years his junior, beca a beacon of light illuminating his life.

The mont Hou Yuduan learned that Mountain Sword Sect was attacking Zhaoyang that night, he knew that Tian Honglu was just a pawn to provide an excuse.

Being a pawn ant she could be discarded at any mont.

He personally escorted Tian Honglu to the boundary marker between the two states; he exposed his own strength to protect her from Lu Yuanhao; upon learning she wanted to return to Zhaoyang, he stopped her, not allowing her to go back.

All he had done, at the end of the day, wasn't just to protect her, but also to safeguard the first friendship he had garnered in twenty years.

When he was captured by Tuoba Huang, Hou Yuduan thought a lot. He suspected that Tian Honglu would be "dead," that Tian Linong and Tian Fazheng wouldn't recognize him in order to have an excuse to attack Zhaoyang.

But no matter what, he couldn't have imagined that Tian Fazheng would actually take action to murder...

He could never forget the first ti Tian Honglu spoke to him about Bailu Academy, her words brimming with veneration and affection for her elder brother, praising Tian Fazheng as a person of integrity and excellence.

When talking about three years ago, when Tian Fazheng was accepted into the academy by the Great Scholar Ji Yanzhi, she was even more proud, her little face filled with pride and honor.

Within her words, Tian Fazheng was truly a flawless elder brother.

The more he thought about these things, the clearer it beca to Hou Yuduan why Tian Honglu had such intense resentnt before her death, why... she died with eyes wide open!

Hou Yuduan looked up to see Tian Fazheng still deep in thought with closed eyes, and the irony felt profound when he thought of the man in front of him cultivated by the Bailu Academy he had long admired.

"The Confucian Sect states, filial piety and brotherly respect are the foundation of humanity. To justify an assault, you could even lay hands on your own flesh and blood. This is the genuine teaching of the Confucian Sect, the Bailu Academy? It's laughable, utterly laughable..."

Tian Fazheng, who had kept his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them upon hearing these words. Even after killing Tian Honglu, he had not shown the slightest remorse, but the mont Hou Yuduan mocked the Bailu Academy, the murderous intent in his pupils beca incredibly intense.

"To have learned a few saints' maxims in a place like Zhaoyang, filthy and corrupt as it is, is indeed remarkable. Yet you dare, in front of , to speak nonsense of the Confucian Sect and discredit the Academy... Who gave you the courage..."

A white light erged from Tian Fazheng's body, with the sword light suddenly condensing, ominously identical to the scene when he had just slain Tian Honglu.

"Old Fifth!"

"Yuduan..."

...

Witnessing this scene, the four people, Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yucheng, imdiately turned pale, casting aside thoughts of survival and patience in an instant.

The four of them cried out in alarm, all rushing towards Hou Yuduan's direction.

Even though they knew, they were no match for Tian Fazheng's sword light.

"Still coming?"

A frivolous voice ca, and Hou Yuxiao's heart relaxed for a mont.

Thankfully, while they couldn't stop it, soone could!

Tuoba Huang, who had just let Tian Fazheng succeed, would not get his way this ti, as the black long halberd stretched out effortlessly deflecting Tian Fazheng's Confucian sword light.

And just then, Hou Yuxiao and the other three reached Hou Yuduan's side, surrounding their younger brother without looking back, shielding him with their bodies, gazing furiously at Tian Fazheng and Gu Chenfeng, showing no fear in their eyes.

Even Hou Yuxiao, who often prided himself on being the most rational, was no exception at this mont!

Seeing his sword light neutralized by Tuoba Huang, Tian Fazheng's face showed no annoyance. Instead, looking at the glaring Hou Yuxiao and his three brothers, after a mont of reflection, an intrigued expression arose on his face as he began to speak thoughtfully.

"The Hou Clan of Zhaoyang, the Hou Clan of Zhaoyang, Black Ape Demon Hou Tong, if I'm not mistaken, that shaless minor clan from two years ago trying to affiliate with Qinjian Villa, that was you, right?"

At this statent, Hou Yuxiao, Hou Yucheng, and the other three suddenly looked up at Tian Fazheng, a towering hatred rising from within, their pupils turning blood-red, their faces revealing expressions as if they were about to devour soone.

Among them, Hou Yu Jie and Hou Yuling felt an overwhelming hatred, their minds seemingly recalling sothing that even caused their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.

And at that mont, Gu Chenfeng, standing beside Tian Fazheng, also slapped his forehead as if sothing had dawned on him. Facing the emotional changes of the five mbers of the Hou clan, he remained unconcerned, revealing a scornful smirk.

"I knew this na sounded familiar, so it's you. Hahaha. Senior Brother Zhao told that Hou Tong had the audacity, with a forged marriage promise, to propose an alliance with Qinjian Villa, how ludicrous, hahaha..."

Gu Chenfeng's piercing laughter incessantly provoked Hou Yuxiao's nerves, his neck's veins bulging, his fists clenched tight in his sleeves, bleeding from the force.

Those behind him, Hou Yucheng, Hou Yu Jie, and Hou Yuduan, all reacted similarly, with the third brother Hou Yuling already with tears brimming in her beautiful eyes, her body trembling even more violently.

In the minds of the five, that unbearable mory was once again uncovered by Gu Chenfeng...
