Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"These two fools are truly beyond help."

Elder Mo had intended to ask Hou Yuxiao to rise, but when Hou Hong inquired in such a manner, a trace of displeasure immediately appeared on his face. Extending his hand to lift Hou Yuxiao using controlled energy, he slightly turned his eyes towards Hou Hong and the other, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Hou, are you questioning me?"

"Elder Mo has already seen my father's handwritten letter. You should know that Zhao Qingxue can only choose one of us to marry. Have you considered the consequences of defying the Wuwei Royal Mansion?"

This was beyond stupid, it could be said to be extremely counterintuitive.

"I just said that the matter of Qingxue's marriage is up to her to decide. Whoever has the ability to be chosen by her will become her husband. Both young masters, do your ears work?"

Hou Fei couldn't sit still anymore. He looked at Hou Yuxiao and sneered twice, then spoke to Elder Mo, "Please forgive my directness. The insignificant Hexi compared to our Wuwei Royal Mansion is like heaven and earth apart. Fairy Qingxue is too young, it's understandable she is momentarily deceived, but Elder Mo should be aware, an alliance with our Wuwei Royal Mansion is a million times stronger than with Hexi. Please, Elder Mo, retract your decision!"

Watching these two, addressing Elder Mo repeatedly, but with not a speck of respect in their tone, Hou Yuxiao felt an indescribable oddity in his heart...

How on earth did the Wuwei King adopt these sons?

It was child's play; such powerful individuals yet their judgment was so poor!

"Defying the Wuwei Royal Mansion?"

Elder Mo suddenly stood up from his chair and retorted. Behind him, a pitch-black singularity with a crack appeared suddenly, as if possessing a kind of mesmerizing demonic power that once the eyes met, they could never look away.

From within his body, endless streams of purple Dao light burst forth, instantly covering everyone in the main hall. The overwhelming aura nearly suffocated everyone, most notably Hou Hong and Hou Fei, who were directly crushed to the ground. With a crack, their knees broke through the floorboards, leaving them powerless even to raise their heads, their pupils filled with shock and fear.

"Who do you think I am? Just Wuwei Royal Mansion daring to defy, huh?"

Elder Mo laughed furiously, unsure if it was at the stupidity of these two fools or at being underestimated to such an extent himself. With a gentle wave of his duster in front of him, a gust of wind instantly blew the two backward exactly ten meters.

Both Hou Hong, of the Yuan Dan Second Realm, and Hou Fei, of the Five Realms of Grandmasters, felt as if countless knives were slicing through them, blood seeping from every orifice as their fear turned into pain, emitting unbearably pitiful cries for mercy.

"Elder Mo, spare my life..."

"Begging Elder Mo, spare me, spare me!"

Although Hou Yuxiao was not targeted and could stand stably on the side, seeing the pitiful state of Hou Hong and Hou Fei still caused cold sweat on his back, especially upon seeing the mysterious singularity behind Elder Mo, his heart trembled violently.

Hou Hong and Hou Fei did not know what that was, but he knew!

The singularity with cracks was a mark of a Half-step Great Power. He had used a huge amount of good deeds in Baiye Camp during a confrontation with the Jiang siblings to temporarily enhance his cultivation to this level, so he was certain of it.

Elder Mo's cultivation had improved far too quickly!

Before the disorder in Tongling, the first time he met Elder Mo, he clearly remembered his cultivation was at the Great Perfection of the Three Realms of Yuan Dan; later on, during the battle in Hexi, he had already reached the Yin Yang Holy Realm; this time, it was outright Half-step Great Power.

"My Ziqing Holy Sect, being the foremost in Taoism and one of the nine great Holy Lands of the world, if truly allied with your Wuwei Royal Mansion, would also be elevating Hou Jing. That two completely imbecilic fools could become adopted sons of Hou Jing is laughable!

Even Hou Jing himself wouldn't dare question me like this. You two inexperienced youths dare to order me to retract my decision..."

Though Elder Mo's temper seemed quick, it also dissipated quickly. After all, being a Taoist expert, his Qi Nurturing Technique was profound. After venting, his expression immediately relaxed, and turning to the two who were struggling to stand up, he coldly said, "Take your things and leave!"

"Thank you, Elder, for sparing our lives, thank you, Elder!"

Upon hearing this, the two felt as if granted amnesty, kowtowing fervently. They then hurriedly gathered their belongings, the attendants of the Tianwei Army in tow, and took two chests, leaving without looking back.

Hou Yuxiao was not at all surprised by this outcome; Hou Hong and Hou Fei were really too stupid, unbelievably so.

Even without considering Elder Mo's strength, as long as one understands his identity, anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't be this confused...

The Ziqing Holy Sect alternates leadership among the Heavenly Respect, Yunqing, and Taishang Dao Lineages. Currently, Shen Daoling from the Heavenly Respect Dao leads, but this doesn't mean that the strength of the Taishang and Yunqing lineages are inferior. After all, the leadership changes every hundred years, and next time, which is seven years from now, it will be Taishang Dao's turn.

In seven years, Elder Mo's master, Heavenly Mystery Dao Venerate Wei Xuheng, will ascend to the position of Taoist Ancestor. By then, the master of the Taishang Dao Lineage will most likely be Elder Mo, making him one of the three leaders just under the Taoist Ancestor within the Ziqing Holy Sect. Elder Mo will soon become one of them.

By that time, the Dao Venerate Wei Xuheng will still be his master.

This identity is even beyond that of the Wuwei King. Hou Hong and Hou Fei, those two fools, actually dared to question him with a threatening tone; they were utterly out of their minds...

"Qingxue is a good girl!"

Suddenly hearing Elder Mo's words, Hou Yuxiao didn't react at first. Turning back and seeing his solemn expression, he immediately stood up straighter, nodded, and was about to speak when Elder Mo gestured for him to stop and continued:

"The intentions you harbor are crystal clear to me. The Rakshasa Holy Sect, in their quest to conquer Bingzhou, has forsaken the Xiayuan Dao, and other Holy Lands in Hexi are also intervening. The Hou Clan, now unprotected by a Holy Land, has turned to Qingxue, hoping to rely on her, to connect with the old ways, to cling to the Ziqing Holy Sect. Am I wrong?"

Hou Yuxiao looked at Elder Mo, his eyes filled with astonishment...

How could he know?

And, he clearly already knew his intentions.

Why would he still allow Qingxue to marry him?

"Observers often miss details; don't be overly self-assured. Not just I, but many others are aware too; even, I suspect that Qingxue herself may not be in the dark!"

This statement made Hou Yuxiao shudder...

"I have only one disciple, Qingxue, who cultivates the same Taishang Forgetful Way as I do. I am not fully informed about the intricacies between you two, but I can ascertain that her emotional ordeal indeed involves you. So even though I know you are using her, I still consent to your marriage, of course, mainly because she herself is also willing."

Once you marry her, you will naturally be able to obtain those things you desire, but since you harbored ulterior motives first, consider this a transaction. Just like any trade, there are no guaranteed profits, so let me say it straight: if one day something unfavorable occurs,

you must not regret it...

While Hou Yuxiao could understand most of the previous statements,

this last phrase, "do not regret it," truly left him bewildered. Elder Mo's tone was distinctly serious and even preemptively cautionary.

What does this mean?

"May I ask for further clarification, Elder Mo?"

Elder Mo looked at Hou Yuxiao, his eyes slightly furrowed. After more than a dozen moments, he sighed softly and slowly said, "I'll just give you a heads-up."

He paused momentarily and then, with a grave expression, enunciated each word slowly:

"Her inclusion in the Dao depends solely on your single thought!"

Inclusion in the Dao?

The Taishang Forgetful Way!

A tremor ran through Hou Yuxiao's mind as he began to grasp something...
