Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains Chapter 899: 391. Heart-to-heart before departure, arrangeme

Although Hou Yuxiao had long suspected the Rakshasa Holy Sect's conquest of Bingzhou, he inevitably fell into a state of anxiety upon confirming the news.

This anxiety had two layers of reasons.

One layer was due to his deep-seated fear of Sikong Yue.

In truth, he's only t Sikong Yue once. Last year's encounter in Nanping Prefecture was rely seeing the projection left on Zhantai Wuyuan's body by Sikong Yue, so it doesn't count. However, that single eting was enough to make Hou Yuxiao wary until now because, up to this point, Sikong Yue is the only one who can truly see through the Good and Evil Divine Lotus.

Moreover, although they've only t once, Sikong Yue's utilization of the Hou Clan is everywhere. Take the recent pacification of Nanjiang and Jianye Prefecture by the Hou Clan, for instance; it's all part of Sikong Yue's planning behind the scenes, and the key point is that she succeeded in both cases.

Hou Yuxiao initially thought the stabilization of Nanjiang by Hexi was undermining the Rakshasa Holy Sect, but it turned out that the Hou Clan had beco a re pawn for Sikong Yue. She was using the Hou Clan to engage Nanjiang in battle, awakening Ni Han, and helping the Great Jin eliminate demons.

The war to destroy Leiyin Temple in Jianye Prefecture was the sa. Hou Yuxiao took advantage of the Four Holy Lands' masters to destroy Leiyin Temple, consuming Jianye Prefecture before the Rakshasa Holy Sect could take Bingzhou, thereby strengthening the Hou Clan. In the end, Leiyin Temple was destroyed, Shi Tian was killed, but then Sikong Xingzhou appeared, and Leiyin Temple's three hundred thousand troops, along with many sect mbers and disciples, including Fahai, a newly risen Saint, all fell towards the Rakshasa Holy Sect.

Over the past decade, Hou Yuxiao won't even ntion the previous matters; just these recent major events are enough to make him extrely wary of Sikong Yue.

This woman's actions are profoundly unpredictable and difficult to fathom. A careless step, and one would fall into her trap, ending up sacrificing oneself in vain, only to serve her interests.

Hou Yuxiao is sowhat arrogant, especially when it cos to controlling and grasping the overall situation. He prides himself on being as capable as anyone, yet it is solely Sikong Yue who, even now upon recalling, still makes him feel a chill at heart.

The Rakshasa Holy Sect's conquest of Bingzhou, gaining control of two states overnight, has elevated it to a level second only to the Great Jin Holy Dynasty, on par with the Righteous Path's leader Bailu Academy, ranking third in the world. Naturally, they should lie low, so why are they so ostentatious in hosting the New Moon Festival, inviting all the holy lands around the world? Isn't this just openly provoking suspicion?

Sikong Yue is being overambitious, starting to act foolish!

If Hou Yuxiao really thinks that way, then it is he who is truly foolish. Sikong Yue's unreasonable actions must prove she has deeper sches, and everything will only be known in Yongdu.

Hexi Tao City, Zhao Yang Palace

"New Moon Festival?"

Hou Yuduan raised his head to look at Hou Yuxiao, suddenly rembering sothing, he asked: "Elder brother, I rember over ten years ago, when Sikong Yue ca to Zhaoyang County, didn't she give you an identity from the Rakshasa Holy Sect?"

Hou Yuxiao's expression paused, then he imdiately rembered sothing, took out a copper token from his bosom. The token had the words 'New Moon' engraved on the front, and the back displayed a Starry Sky and Waning Moon Map with a considerable artistic conception.

"If you didn't ntion it, I would have almost forgotten. Indeed, ten years ago Sikong Yue appointed as Zhaoyang Division Chief of the New Moon Departnt. This New Moon Departnt is said to be created by Sikong Yue to monitor the movents of various states. Are you suggesting there might be a connection between this New Moon Festival and the New Moon Departnt?"

Hou Yuxiao looked at the Starry Sky and Waning Moon Map, softly inquiring.

Hou Yuduan pondered for a mont, then shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, it's just a coincidence that I rembered this matter. Given that the Rakshasa Holy Sect is now entirely dominated by Sikong Yue's family, the New Moon Departnt should be of no consequence. However, surely the Rakshasa Holy Sect's recent conquest of Bingzhou should require discretion. Sikong Yue certainly knows this, yet she defies convention and convenes all holy lands for this festival—isn't this unnecessarily provoking suspicion?"

"But no, the Rakshasa Holy Sect's conquest of Bingzhou will quickly spread even if Sikong Yue doesn't say so. The major holy lands would still be wary as expected. Thus, hosting this festival..."

"Is to alleviate other holy lands' concerns!"

Hou Yuduan suddenly raised his head and articulated the words Hou Yuxiao did not finish.

That's right!

Hou Yuxiao's expression changed, and he stood up directly from the chair.

At this critical juncture, what other event could alleviate the major holy lands' concerns about the Rakshasa Holy Sect?

"Long Yu!"

"Long Yu!"

Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan almost spoke simultaneously.

"Impossible, the Great Jin couldn't find Long Yu even using the country's resources, how could Sikong Yue possibly find him?" Hou Yuduan's face showed so doubt.

Hou Yuxiao grew increasingly convinced of his speculation, solemnly saying: "Yes, I can't be sure about others, but with Sikong Yue, I believe in her. Don't forget, it was her who found Ni Han too. Moreover, Sikong Yue is also the Princess of Youdu in the Great Jin. Besides, helping the Great Jin benefits the Rakshasa Holy Sect, and with her role as a princess, assisting the Great Jin would be entirely reasonable. It has to be this way!"

The doubt in Hou Yuduan's eyes slowly dissipated, but worry quickly surfaced, and his expression beca increasingly solemn and heavy.

"So, this ans during the New Moon Festival, the Great Jin is going to fulfill its decade-long oath to eliminate demons. Consequently, the Great Jin Holy Dynasty will start to dominate the world?"

Hou Yuxiao's expression also darkened considerably.
