Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 762 - 338, Wu Miao split, minor obstacle_2

However, Zhantai Wuyuan clearly did not want to tell him.

Upon hearing Hou Yuxiao's question, Zhantai Wuyuan's face showcased stubborn defiance. He clenched his teeth and said nothing, his mind seemingly occupied with calculations.

Hou Yuxiao was in no hurry; he had neither planned nor had the motive to kill anyone tonight. Besides, killing this youngster would bring no benefits anyway.

Moreover, seeing the crazed manner in which Duanmu Hong had caught up, it was evident that this Xiao Shengzi was important to the Rakshasa Holy Sect. If he truly killed the boy, he figured it would only cause significant trouble for himself.

The two remained silent; Hou Yuxiao just carried Zhantai Wuyuan and continued to flee all the way to the borders of Xingnan Prefecture. Upon spotting Chengkang County on the ground below, his expression slightly relaxed.

Just as he was about to descend into Chengkang County, suddenly, the silent Zhantai Wuyuan all along, finally spoke.

"You've been fleeing in the northeast direction the whole time, right?"

The instant he heard this, Hou Yuxiao's mind tensed, and he immediately landed in Chengkang County.

Chengkang County was devoid of residents at this moment. Scanning around, the view was filled with dark, teeming tents and the Hou's dual-colored Lotus banners hanging throughout the city. In the residential houses lining the streets, armored soldiers were still on duty late into the night. Chengkang County had evidently become a military city.

Upon seeing the conditions on the ground, Zhantai Wuyuan immediately realized something. Still being held in Hou Yuxiao's grasp, he abruptly yelled out, "You are Hou Yuxiao, you are Hou Yuxiao, right?"

Hou Yuxiao's landing was not quiet; the fully armed Chengkang County had already noticed. Gao Changlong, leading hundreds of White Feather Guards, rushed over immediately. Upon clearly seeing it was Hou Yuxiao, they were momentarily startled.

"Family Head, you're back so soon? Who's this youngster?"

In the darkness of the night, upon hearing Gao Changlong's voice, Hou Yuxiao immediately closed his eyes, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.

"You indeed are Hou Yuxiao, I guessed right, let me go!"

Zhantai Wuyuan's voice was filled with joy. The moment he realized Hou Yuxiao was fleeing northeast, he started to speculate about his identity. Northeast of Qingmiao City lies Xingnan Prefecture and Hexi Prefecture, which are both under the Hexi alliance now. Since the Hexi alliance has designs on Nanjiang, he had learned about it at the Holy Church. Combining this with the situation in Hexi he had come to know previously, he guessed that the person who captured him was Hou Yuxiao.

By the time they landed and saw that Chengkang County had become a military city, and the entire city was adorned with the Hou's dual-colored Lotus battle banners, he was 90 percent certain.

When he heard the new arrivals call the man in black clothes 'Family Head,' he knew his speculation had to be correct—this person in black was definitely the Master Hou, Hou Yuxiao.

According to the arrangement, if he guessed correctly, Hou Yuxiao was supposed to let him go.

"Clever boy, you're smart!"

Seeing that Hou Yuxiao impassively adhered to the agreement and let him go, a hint of doubt instantly crossed Zhantai Wuyuan's face. Although many people around were watching, he still doggedly walked towards the city gate with a mix of skepticism and belief.

But just as Hou Yuxiao let him go, he immediately signaled Gao Changlong with his eyes. Gao Changlong caught on instantly, stepped forward, and in less than five steps out of the city, seized Zhantai Wuyuan again, grabbing his legs and returning him to Hou Yuxiao's side.

Zhantai Wuyuan was held upside down; he looked up at Hou Yuxiao, his frustration rapidly turning into rage. While struggling, he shouted:

"Hou Yuxiao, with such renowned fame, to think you would go back on your word."

"You said just recognizing you was enough to let me go, you're not trustworthy!"

"Thousand-Faced Handsome Man, Hou Yuxiao, pah!"

"Just you wait, when my aunt returns from Bingzhou, she will surely settle the score with you, Grandpa Duanmu will be here soon, he will definitely raze your military camp, Hou Yuxiao, just you wait, ah..."

...

Zhantai Wuyuan's tone was filled with anger, but unfortunately, being only six years old, his small physique, held up by Gao Changlong, looked just like a struggling little fish. Even his threats couldn't inspire a bit of fear; even Gao Changlong, who was lifting him, only wore an oddly expressive face.

"Humph, didn't I just let you go?"

Zhantai Wuyuan was immediately silenced by Hou Yuxiao's remark, his face turning red with frustration and frustration alone as he stared at Hou Yuxiao for more than a dozen breaths. Eventually, he couldn't hold back and said, "You're utterly shameless, utterly shameless."

"Didn't your clever aunt teach you not to trust anyone's words blindly without strength? The fact that I didn't kill you was already giving face to your aunt; even if I had indeed killed you for those few words, Sikong Yue wouldn't dare say anything, hmph!"

Hou Yuxiao had not shown much anger along the way, but now he released a bit of his aura, instantly overpowering Zhantai Wuyuan.

He looked up at Hou Yuxiao, and although his pupils revealed a hint of fear, his face still bore a resistant expression.

In the darkness, meeting Zhantai Wuyuan's gaze, Hou Yuxiao felt a wave of guilt for no reason, and turned to Gao Changlong, waving him off, "Lock him up for now. By the way, how long until Second Elder arrives?"

Gao Changlong first handed Zhantai Wuyuan over to a nearby White Feather Guard, then turned back and answered, "The Second Elder is leading the army this way, he should arrive after dawn!"

Before Hou Yuxiao left Prefectural City yesterday, he had already made arrangements, ordering Gao Family's three brothers to lead one hundred thousand Red Flame Army and two hundred thousand Zhaoyang Army to Chengkang ahead of time. Meanwhile, Hou Yucheng was to first mobilize troops from Baiye Camp. Considering the time, he was indeed expected to arrive around dawn.
