Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 91 - 076, The World’s Nine Leaderboards [Seeking Support!]_2

"The Demon Path's Three Lists of Great Jin, the Righteous Path's Three Lists of Great Yu, the Demon Extermination List of Bailu Academy, and the Weapon Inventory of Qinjian Villa; the Nine Lists of the World are updated on the first of every month, and the latest issue can only be seen at Shengxin Residence..."

As soon as they heard it was the Nine Lists of the World, everyone suddenly became interested and began to pick up a volume to read. Hou Yuxiao also took one and started flipping through it.

There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts!

In the martial world, everything can become outdated, except for reputation. Even someone like Hou Yuxiao, who advocated keeping a low profile, could not completely escape this common practice.

Clearly, the booklets had been combined; the nine lists were merged into one, divided into nine volumes. Hou Yuxiao couldn't wait to open the Demon Head List from the Three Lists of Great Jin, starting from the last name on the list.

Rank 300: Rouge Knife Madman, Shen Hong

Age: 267

Origin: Eastern River Prefecture of Liangzhou, the Earth Level renowned Shen Clan

Cultivation: Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm

Battle Achievements: In March of the New Yu Era 1306, slayed the Eighth Grade demon Jade-faced Ghost of Eastern River Prefecture; in the same year in October, single-handedly fought against three Grandmasters of Spirit Moon Mansion; in 1320, battled True Disciple Zhu Yujie of the Demon Derivation Holy Sect and won.

Rank 299: Blood Yama, Li Huai

Age: 296

Origin: Western Cloud Path of Bing Province, Heaven Level major sect Red Moon Sect

Cultivation: Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm

Battle Achievements: In July of the New Yu Era 1298, defeated True Disciple Ning Qianqiu of the Rakshasa Holy Sect; in January 1321, ventured alone into Nine Tombs Prefecture of Yongzhou and slayed Great Grandmaster Zheng Ping of the Blood Spirit Holy Sect.

...

Well, just looking at the last two names on the Demon Head List, their cultivation was already at the level of Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm—one having slain an Eighth Grade demon, and the other a Great Grandmaster. Hou Yuxiao immediately understood the weight of this list.

He flipped forward slightly, continuing until he reached rank 196, and seeing a familiar name, his face became very solemn.

Rank 196: Divine Illumination Law King, Ding Dian

Age: 321

Origin: Rakshasa Holy Sect of Yongzhou

Cultivation: Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm

Battle Achievements: In March of the New Yu Era 1285, slayed former Sword God Meng Yibai of the Wanjian Holy Sect of Xuzhou; in September 1305, fought against Prefectural Governor Peng Yuhu of Yongzhou Xingnan Prefecture and only lost by three moves; in December 1319, faced the first Sword God of Wanjian Holy Sect, Gu Nianqiu, and within three moves, did not lose.

...

Seeing Ding Dian's stunning battle achievements, it was definitely heavy on the heart. Even the ninth-ranked Sword God, Gu Chenfeng, was so strong that it was a bit despairing, let alone Ding Dian who could kill the third-ranked Sword God...

"Big brother, I found you!"

As he was deep in thought, Hou Yucheng suddenly called out to him with a smile, showing the booklet in his hand to Hou Yuxiao. The others also gathered around.

Rank 782: Black Ape Demon, Hou Yuxiao

Battle Achievements: In December 1321, defeated Tiger List master Tian Linong.

Bounty: Fifty Thousand Taels

Seeing the bounty at the end, Hou Yuxiao suddenly showed a hint of confusion.

Hou Yuling quickly explained, "The major and minor Demon Extermination Lists of the Righteous Path are compiled by Bailu Academy, and they are the ones who came up with these bounties. As long as you can prove you've killed someone on the list, you can go to the Academy to collect the reward!"

Hou Yuxiao shook his head, laughed, and said, "My head is worth much more than fifty thousand taels of silver, they've set the price far too low. If they raise it tenfold or a hundredfold, I might just deliver it to them myself."

"Hahahahaha..."

At this moment, Hou Yuling also flipped the booklet to another page, showing it to everyone.

Famed Instruments Ranking

Rank 812: Ape Demon Staff

Holder: Zhaoyang Black Ape Demon, Hou Yuxiao

Previously ranked at 932, the Ape Demon Staff had risen more than a hundred places after Hou Yuxiao made it onto the Demon Extermination List.

Hou Yuxiao noticed the look in everyone's eyes when they stared at him, filled with a mix of envy and admiration, and he felt slightly ripples in his heart.

Being too famous might not necessarily be a good thing, but for an obscure and low-profile family like the Hou Clan, it was still very important.

Or to put it another way, it might not be important to Hou Yuxiao himself, but it was too important for boosting the morale and confidence of his clansmen.

"Don't rush, building a reputation takes one step at a time, just a small Demon Extermination List of the Righteous Path for now. In the future, everyone from my Hou Clan must leave their mark on these lists!"

Upon hearing Hou Yuxiao's words, the breathing of those around him grew slightly heavier, and even though they did not believe it in their hearts, their faces showed a glimmer of fantasy.

"Believe me, it will happen, starting with the Hou Clan's rise to prominence..."

Hou Yuxiao did not offer further explanation. Recalling the remaining eight petals of the Divine Lotus in his mind that had yet to be unlocked, his tone became even more resolute.

The casual chatter among the people did not last long, for dishes of exquisite delicacies were soon brought to the table by the servants.

A meal costing 320 taels of silver per table made even Hou Yuxiao feel a bit of a pinch, but he started to taste it slowly and meticulously with everyone.

By the time three rounds of drinks were finished, Hou Yuxiao stepped out the door alone, found a secluded corner, quietly changed his appearance, put on a black hood, and then sought out the servant.

"The day after tomorrow, you have a gambling duel here, don't you?"

The servant was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and answered, "Indeed, it's between Ding Sicheng's third disciple Cheng Yue and Hou Yuxiao from Zhaoyang County. Sir, would you like to place a bet?"

Hou Yuxiao nodded, and the servant promptly led him to the back with a smile.

In just a short while, Hou Yuxiao was brought into a quiet room where a Warrior of the Gang Qi Realm was sitting. Sensing that Hou Yuxiao's cultivation was stronger than his, he immediately stood up.

"What are the current odds?"

"5 to 1. If Cheng Yue loses, you win five times your bet; if Hou Yuxiao loses, you win once your bet. You may bet up to fifty thousand taels at most. Sir, how much would you like to wager?"

Hou Yuxiao's eyebrows knitted slightly as he took out fifty thousand taels of silver and slapped them on the counter, saying, "I bet on Hou Yuxiao, fifty thousand taels!"

Though puzzled, the man followed business principles and provided Hou Yuxiao with a voucher from Shengxin Residence as proof, respecting him as he sent him on his way.

After placing his bet, Hou Yuxiao found a secluded spot to revert to his own appearance and returned to the private room.

This time, however, before Hou Yuxiao could get comfortable in his seat, a servant entered.

"Sir, someone from the private room next door invites you to join them for a drink."

Everyone's brows knitted slightly. They were first-timers in the prefectural city, and this was their first visit to Shengxin Residence; they shouldn't have known anyone here.

Hou Yuxiao gave Gao Cheng a meaningful look, and Gao Cheng immediately got the hint. He stood up, stuffed two taels of broken silver to the servant, and inquired, "Could you please tell me who's in the next room?"

The servant accepted the silver and immediately smiled, leaning in to whisper, "It's the Young Sect Master Ding Peng from the Great Luo Sect. The other three should be Nie Xinchuan, Liu Jianghong, and a man in armor, likely the Great Commander from the Prefectural Magistrate's Office, Gui Yutang!"

Upon hearing these names, Hou Yuxiao shot up from his chair with a start.

"Wait here for me. I'll go alone..."
