Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 909 - 395, Treasure Map missing, accidentally obtained _2

Hou Yuxiao's expression tightened as he instantly understood the implication.

Initially, there were nine leaders from the Holy Lands who came to claim the fragments. Now, with the Bingzhou Blood Spirit Demon Sect already destroyed, there should still be eight holy lands, meaning at least eight Martial Dao Saints should have come. But right now, only seven are here: Yuwen Dongdu, Xun Mu, Meng Qu, Jing Yuanxiu, Wei Xuheng, True Man Yu Tian, and Sikong Yue?

Who is missing? The Sect Master of the Liangzhou Demon Derivation Holy Sect, Mo Yunzi!

"No need to wait, Mo Yunzi doesn't have time to come,"

The Emperor of Jin answered with certainty, making everyone's faces change instantly.

No time to come, what does that mean?

Leaders of the six Great Sacred Lands all looked up at Sikong Yue, only to find that her expression remained as calm as ever, not changing a bit, which made their hearts sink.

Standing behind them, Hou Yuxiao had actually realized this even earlier than they did.

From the moment the Emperor of Jin appeared before Mo Yunzi, Hou Yuxiao had guessed it.

The gathering of the Eight Holy Lords in Yongdu, assuming Sikong Yue intended to slay Long Yu, Great Jin must have known long ago. With such a golden opportunity, how could they possibly do nothing?

No matter who dealt the blow, as long as Long Yu died, Great Jin would fulfill their promise to the Eight Great Sacred Lands from back then and could immediately begin their conquest of the world. If they don't seize the opportunity while the Eight Holy Lords are gathered in Yongdu, when would they ever act?

Great Jin had only brought along Yuwen Dongdu, leaving behind Yuwen Hongzhang, the three emperors, and State Preceptor Zhuge Yuanren. Helian Ba's million-strong army had been stationed at the northern border of Liangzhou since Yongzhou's attack on Bingzhou. Without any surprises, as soon as Yuwen Dongdu made a move, the million-strong army would immediately advance south to attack Liangzhou.

The five leaders at the forefront only now realized that they had been tricked by Sikong Yue and Great Jin's collaboration, their faces instantly showing anger, even Wuwei King Hou Jing was no exception. However, Hou Yuxiao alone remained completely unfazed, calmly watching everyone.

First of all, the great battle in Liangzhou, being across the river, wouldn't affect Hexi here. Furthermore, a massive battle across the river in Jiangbei, in a certain sense, benefited Hexi. A war implies displaced people and would give rise to a massive influx of refugees and fleeing Martial Artists, with Hexi being the closest across the river.

Secondly, Hou Yuxiao was confident that Great Jin and Sikong Yue would never truly join forces.

He could see that Sikong Yue and the Yuwen father and son were of the same ilk. While Sikong Yue's domineering presence was not as blatantly visible as the Yuwen father and son, each time she appeared with an expression of serene insight, it precisely reflected her underlying dominance, which was even stronger than the Yuwen father and son. To put it accurately, it was her constant intense control desire, stronger than anyone else.

Such a Sikong Yue, having painstakingly established the New Moon Cult, wouldn't possibly ally with Great Jin. Even if she aided Great Jin regarding Long Yu, it must have been solely to gain greater benefits for the New Moon Cult or for herself, he could be certain of that.

As long as these two do not join forces, the situation of the world still has room for change.

Lastly, even if Great Jin captured Liangzhou, the ones most worried wouldn't be him, but Qinjian Villa, who also resided in the north alongside Great Jin. In his heart, Hou Yuxiao was more than willing to see Qinjian Villa suffer misfortune.

Moreover, Liangzhou was just under attack and had not yet been captured by Great Jin.

With these three points, he naturally had no worries.

The other Saints, mostly after their initial anger, also quickly figured it out. They said nothing and just continued to intensely focus on the small square seal in the Emperor of Jin's hand. Indeed, if there really was a chance to Breakthrough Saint, then against Great Jin, whether there were six Saints or sixty, they could only willingly surrender.

What's more important was clear in everyone's hearts.

Everyone was staring unblinkingly at Yuwen Dongdu, who was likewise fixedly staring at the Divine Sect Treasure Map's small square seal in his own hand. The nine fragments gradually merged during the prolonged wait, eventually forming a small square seal.

A... defective small square seal!

Once the nine fragments had fused, the full form of the small square seal was revealed. Everyone's expressions suddenly froze, not just those watching below; even Yuwen Dongdu, who had just controlled the fragments to merge, was stunned.

The bottom right corner of the small square seal was unexpectedly missing a piece!

What's going on?

Seeing the angry expressions aiming at the defective part of the small square seal on the faces of Yuwen Dongdu and the other six Saints, Hou Yuxiao's heart clenched tightly.

"Well done, Lin Xuangan, leaving a hidden move here!"

"It wasn't just nine pieces, he had already removed a piece before self-destructing the Treasure Map."

"Shi Tian, you fool, didn't see clearly at that time."

"I think this rumor is false, it's totally fabricated by Great Yu."

......

The leaders of the Great Holy Lands had not yet spoken, but the people beside them all became agitated, some cursing Lin Xuangan for being devious, others blaming Shi Tian for being blind, and even some suspecting that the Divine Sect Treasure Map was possibly fake...

This is understandable. They had traveled far and wide for this journey primarily for the Divine Sect Treasure Map, only to inadvertently become a backdrop for Sikong Yue's sect-establishing ceremony without the treasure map appearing first. Afterwards, witnessing Sikong Yue assisting Great Jin in fulfilling a decade-long promise, and hearing Yuwen Dongdu announce that Great Jin had begun its attack on Liangzhou with his own lips.
