Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 131 - 105. The increasingly bustling Prefectural City_2
Hou Yujie’s voice carried a ghostly undercurrent, "Indeed, it’s a good opportunity, but it’s still too early to start distancing ourselves from the Great Luo Sect. For now, just remember Shen Xiao’s name!"
When he mentioned Shen Xiao’s name, his tone carried a slight murderous intent. Shen Xiao had nearly killed Elder Hou Yuduan. Hou Yujie’s face might have remained unchanged after listening for a while, but internally, he had already placed this person on his must-kill list.
After their conversation ended, Gao Cheng and his brother Gao Hu suddenly walked in from outside.
As the two approached, their auras appeared to be rather unstable, with strands of black air continuously leaking out from their bodies. Upon seeing this, both Hou Yujie and Hou Yuduan were startled at first, but then their faces revealed a hint of ecstatic joy.
"Have you broken through?"
Gao Cheng and Gao Hu nodded vigorously, their faces also showing joy as they respectfully said, "Thanks to those more than ten Yuan Gang Beads, Gao Cheng and Gao Hu have not disgraced our mission and have now broken through to the Gang Qi Realm!"

"Good, good, good..." Hou Yujie uttered three ’good’ in a row, the joy in his words uncontainable.
At the beginning of last month, when he had just arrived at Tongling County, there were already news from Zhaoyang County that both his second brother and third sister had broken through to the Gang Qi Realm. Now that Gao Cheng and Gao Hu had made their breakthroughs, the family suddenly gained seven experts in the Gang Qi Realm.
Ignoring the rest for now, just the number of experts in the Gang Qi Realm would make any minor power in the prefectural city incomparable to the Hou Family.
"The life of an assassin is unlike any other, constantly licking blood off the knife blade. Most of the time, it’s risking one’s life, being in constant high-intensity combat, which also greatly aids in the elevation of cultivation. We’ve spent the past two months fighting against a large number of warriors at the Tenth Level of Body Opening. Coupled with the recent ample supply of the Body Strengthening Pill and Yuan Gang Beads, it’s normal for us to have broken through earlier!"
As he listened to Gao Cheng’s words, Hou Yujie nodded thoughtfully. As a cultivator himself, he naturally understood that Gao Cheng was not speaking without basis; indeed, life-and-death battles could quickly push one’s limits.
"The Qinglong Association is more suited than the Hou Clan for cultivating our family warriors. Whether it’s cultivation or strength, as long as one stays in the Qinglong Association for a while, their rate of progress is sure to far surpass that of other places!"
Gao Cheng shook his head, "The problem is that having too many assassins is also not good. The sect members are of mixed quality, and once there are too many assassins, it’s very easy to leave traces for others to discover. Once they follow the vine to find the melon, it’s very easy to trace it back to the family."
Hou Yujie nodded; this was indeed something he had also considered.
Currently, the Qinglong Association was supported entirely by Gao Cheng and his daughter Gao Wenwen, as well as Gao Hu and his Si Division’s thirty men. Gao Hu and his Si Division were specifically responsible for selling the Qinglong Tokens and managing the order channels, while the actual assassinations were carried out only by Gao Cheng and Gao Hu.
Of course, when they faced formidable targets, it was Hou Yujie and Hou Yuxiao who, taking on the guise of the Third Dragon Head Fang Jinghong, would do the job.
It must be said that one important reason why the Qinglong Association had not been discovered until now was the small number of assassins.
There was no need to mention Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yujie – Gao Cheng and Gao Wenwen had also been engaging in assassination for a long time, were experienced, and never left any traces.
"We should start by choosing seedlings from the Hou Clan to cultivate. The system for Qinglong Association’s assassins is not yet complete, and it’s just not suitable to be too conspicuous recently. Take advantage of this time to slowly train a batch of assassins. Set their cultivation at the Seventh Level of Body Opening or higher.
After the Rakshasa Festival, the first batch of Qinglong Silver Orders will officially be distributed, and the assignments for the Qinglong Association will likely increase more than they are now. By that time, we may find ourselves short-handed!"
After a moment of contemplation, Hou Yujie made a new arrangement.
At the previous family meeting, the Qinglong Association had been assigned to him by Hou Yuxiao, so unless it was a particularly important decision that required Hou Yuxiao’s personal involvement, all other general affairs were managed by him.
Upon hearing the words "Qinglong Silver Order", both Gao Cheng and Gao Hu revealed an exhilarated look upon their faces. They were aware of the three major cases that Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yujie had successively handled in recent times.
Suddenly, Gao Cheng seemed to remember something important and said, "I almost forgot the main issue, Fourth Master. There are more and more unfamiliar faces in the prefectural city!"
Hou Yujie’s face showed surprise as he inquired, "Have you checked who they are?"
"There are quite a few newcomers, but among them, three waves of people from prominent forces have all settled in Shengxin Residence. I’ve already sent people to inquire; they come from Iron Fist Sect in Yinling County, Divine Sound Sect in Wanyang County, and Beidou Association in Jinling County. Each group brought about a dozen people, all led by martial artists in the Gathering Evil Phase!"
Upon hearing about the first two groups, a cold smirk appeared on Hou Yujie’s face.
"The Iron Fist Sect and Divine Sound Sect have definitely sent more than just these few people. It seems that both are waiting for the Rakshasa Festival to trouble us."
Last month, Hou Yuxiao, under the alias Third Dragon Head Fang Jinghong, had successively killed Iron Fist Sect’s Elder Chen Feng and Helian Wuji’s brother, who was also an elder of the Divine Sound Sect, Helian Wufeng. Both Sects were now holding back their strength, intent on seeking revenge against the Qinglong Association, so it was unlikely they would send only one elder in the Gathering Evil Phase.
Gao Cheng understood this situation and continued, "Only these three groups have come in the name of their Sects. Additionally, a large portion of the others are martial artists from other counties. Until now, no notable experts have appeared.
I reckon that before Rakshasa Festival arrives, there will likely be more experts showing up!"
At this, Gao Cheng’s expression showed a touch of excitement.
The Qinglong Silver Orders had not yet been issued but had already started causing unrest in Wanyang, Yinling, and Tongling Counties. It was foreseeable that once the Qinglong Silver Orders officially went on sale, they would undoubtedly cause a significant uproar.
