Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 122 - 102, Songyang Town Shocked_2
Bai Dongyu suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Hou Yuduan only had the peak Cultivation of Coagulate Gang Phase, and though he was in the Gathering Evil Phase, his strength was definitely inferior to Qin Kai and Liu Jianghe due to his long dedication to refining, and Shen Xiao was not wrong about that.
Meanwhile, Hou Yuduan looked thoughtful and then turned his gaze toward Songyang Town, his expression slightly worried as he said, "Elder Shen, possessed by evil spirits, is there still a chance to save him?"
Seeing Hou Yuduan’s gaze, Shen Xiao curiously said, "What, are you planning to go in and save them?"
Hou Yuduan initially looked as if it was only natural, but then remembering Shen Xiao’s recent cowardly demeanor, he instantly fell silent.
He was kind-hearted, but not foolish.
Given the personality Shen Xiao had displayed, if he answered now, he would probably get nothing but mockery in return; better to stay silent.
Shen Xiao sneered dismissively and scolded, "Fool, not to mention whether you can find them, even if you did, with demonic disturbances invading their bodies, to expel the evil spirits within them, unless there is a Grandmaster of Divine Communication Two Realms using the virtual shadow of the divine platform to suppress, or a Confucian Scholar with Righteous Qi forcefully expelling the evil spirits, do you possess such great ability?"
Faced with Shen Xiao’s insult, Hou Yuduan continued to remain silent.
"Since there’s been a discovery tonight, come back with me to report the news first. As for those two unfortunate souls, they can only hope for their own luck, let’s go!"
After speaking, Shen Xiao directly turned around and walked a few steps before realizing that Hou Yuduan wasn’t following along, instantly darkening his expression.
"Still dare to defy me, it seems the lesson just now has not made you obedient!"

Shen Xiao’s dominance seemed to have been ingrained in his bones; despite the fact that Hou Yuduan and Bai Dongyu had not defied him at all, merely not following him straight away, he immediately began to threaten, even gathering a trace of saturated Core Essence Qi in his hands.
Hou Yuduan felt somewhat swayed in his heart, his intentions to save people were not solely out of kindness.
Firstly, from the two conditions for saving people that Shen Xiao mentioned, he happened to meet one of them, so there was hope in trying to save them.
Secondly, Qin Kai and Liu Jianghe, each belonging to the Hongdao Gang and West Cloud Escort Agency, both were friendly with the Hou Clan and were allies on equal terms; such a relationship was much more solid than with the Great Luo Sect, so he was inclined to deepen the ties between the three families for the Hou Clan.
But the problem was Shen Xiao’s strength, which he couldn’t counter; seeing his domineering expression, if he really acted, he couldn’t ensure the man wouldn’t overreact more severely.
"Let’s go, Yuduan, just the two of us going in to save them, the hope is slim!"
Bai Dongyu also comforted him at this moment, deep down, Hou Yuduan’s willingness to save people still sparked a lot of goodwill in him. Put in his shoes, if he were possessed by evil spirits tonight, he’d certainly hope someone would come to save him.
In the end, Hou Yuduan could only helplessly nod his head and looked back once more at the streets inside the archway of Songyang Town before remaining silent.
Only then did Shen Xiao show a hint of satisfaction, turning his back to the two, ready to head back towards the prefectural city.
But just then, his eyebrows suddenly tightened, and lifting his eyes in alarm to the archway, his body shivered.
The expressions on the faces of Hou Yuduan and Bai Dongyu at that moment weren’t much different from his...
Somehow, the three of them were already standing in the center of the street!
They had clearly been outside the archway of Songyang Town just before and hadn’t entered the street, yet in the blink of an eye, they found themselves standing there.
"What’s happening, can this town move on its own?"
Bai Dongyuan’s face showed shock, this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre incident.
At this moment, Hou Yuduan also tensed, his energy surging in his dantian, Gang Qi enveloping him as he scanned his surroundings for anything unusual, unfortunately, without achieving Gangsha, he did not have the ability to detect evil spirits.
But on the other hand, both Shen Xiao and Bai Dongyu were beyond the Gathering Evil Phase in their cultivation, yet even they could not see through the anomaly of Songyang Town.
This could only mean one thing; the demon they were facing now might have a strength far surpassing the three of them, which is why they could not detect a single clue.
The three exchanged glances, their faces full of solemnity, evidently all thinking along the same lines.
Click...
A light suddenly clicked on from a nearby house, putting the three on high alert as their gazes all turned towards that house.
Click...click...click...
However, the lights seemed to trigger a chain reaction, one after another lighting up inside the houses, soon illuminating the entire street.
"What’s happening, hasn’t everyone in the town gone to bed?"
It was already Zishi, and Bai Dongyu knew his question was pointless, but the eerily silent atmosphere made him nervous enough to speak out to break the silence.
Hou Yuduan did not respond, glancing at Shen Xiao’s fearful demeanor, a flicker of helplessness crossed his mind. His pupils slightly narrowed, from within his Eighth Orifice, Vast Righteous Qi slowly emerged.
He did not only cultivate the Martial Path, his accomplishments in Confucianism were not low either!
A Confucian nurtures Vast Righteous Qi within the Eighth Orifice; only upon reaching the Confucian Scholar realm could one mobilize it at will. Now with the Righteous Qi concentrated in his eyes, the scene of Songyang Town transformed before Hou Yuduan’s eyes...
The street was littered with corpses, the buildings on either side severely damaged.
