Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains
Chapter 942 - 942: 408, Grand Banquet of Heroes, Hexi Debate_3

Upon hearing this question, Hou Yuxiao immediately knew what Yuan Zhen was about to say. He first glanced sideways at Jing Tianyu, noted his gloomy expression, felt a slight stirring in his own mind and spirit, and then replied, "Well, Mr. Hou is indeed somewhat unclear about this!"

Yuan Zhen chuckled and said, "The rebel Hou Jing, when he invaded Xuzhou a few years ago, was merely at the Sub-saint Realm of Martial Arts cultivation. Though the Tianwei Army was strong, its numbers were only a million. If he had relied on himself alone, how could he have snatched victory from the mouth of the Wanjian Holy Sect? In the end, was it not because the Ziqing Holy Sect, Haoran Holy Sect, and Bailu Academy tolerated it, and even coordinated their forces?"

The scene erupted in an uproar...…

Of course, Hou Yuxiao was aware of these matters, as were Jing Tianyu and the five people behind him. But among the guests present today, only a few knew, and the vast majority were unaware. Yuan Zhen publicly revealed it like this, causing quite a stir.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Jing Tianyu's side.

Realizing that Jing Tianyu and the five behind him made no rebuttal, everyone suddenly understood, and their expressions became even more vivid.

"From this, it is clear that the Hedong Alliance, encompassing the five great Holy Lands, may seem numerous and powerful, but in truth, they each have their own ulterior motives. Even when sending troops to Hexi, the five Holy Lands have to split their soldiers evenly—this is ironclad evidence.

The alliance is just a motley crew. In contrast, my Great Jin is wealthy and strong, the three emperors possess unparalleled martial prowess, the army's morale is high, and both military and civilians are united, officials and subjects are of one heart and mind.

The previous Emperor of Jin, Yuwen Hongzhang, with a single alliance decree in the Jin Capital, maintained four hundred years of peace in The World. The current Emperor of Jin, Yuwen Dongdu, went east to Lin Cang, destroyed the Great Yu Holy Dynasty, beheaded three great demons, went east to Jizhou, and south to Hexi.

Through two generations of Jin emperors, not only are they masters beyond compare, but they also know how to employ the right people. With ambitions to dominate the world and hold the universe in their grasp, they are undoubtedly wise rulers. After four hundred years of lying dormant, my Great Jin has long had the means and strength to sweep across the six directions and unify the universe. Now deploying troops in The World is but a compliance with the heavenly way, restoring Shenzhou to a thriving era of peace.

Therefore, in my opinion, the Great Jin will surely win, and the alliance will... surely lose!"

...…

Following these words, the entire hall fell into dead silence.

In fact, even Hou Yuxiao was somewhat moved at this moment.

Because what Yuan Zhen said was indeed true.

The Great Jin really was that strong.

Indeed, two generations of Jin emperors were figures of great stature.

"Hahahahahahaha...… What a great fallacy."

The contemptuous laughter of Zou Ziqu instantly pulled everyone's thoughts back.

The words "great fallacy," definitive and decisive, were hard to ignore.

"Uncle Master Yuan Zhen speaks utter absurdities of mythical proportions!

Jin laws are fiercer than tigers; who in the world does not know? The so-called wealth and strength of the nation come from clever means of exploitation. In the Three Northern Provinces, the Demon Path runs rampant, and the common folk live miserable lives. The population of the Three Provinces is only a billion, far below the average population of other provinces in The World.

The three emperors' martial prowess is unparalleled, the army's morale is high, but they are opportunists, coveting the land of other provinces, growing wicked and daring to overstep bounds. Even after ravaging the Three Northern Provinces, they wish to continue encroaching on others; I spit on it!

If indeed the military and civilians are united, if officials and subjects are of one heart and mind, then why did the Wuwei King Hou Jing rebel from your Great Jin Holy Dynasty?

If not for the consent of the nine Holy Lands, how could Yuwen Hongzhang have maintained peace for four hundred years with a single alliance decree? The credit of the ten Holy Lands is attributed to Yuwen Hongzhang alone by your few words, which is even more laughable.

To destroy the Great Yu Holy Dynasty, to kill the former lord—such actions of treacherous ministers and rebellious sons, yet you dare to boast of them? The massacre caused by Yuwen Dongdu, going east to Jizhou and south to Hexi, is written in blood too numerous to count.

Can such cruel and tyrannical rulers indeed be called wise rulers, or figures of great stature?

If, as Uncle Master says, the Great Jin is in compliance with the heavenly way, then where have the five great Holy Lands, sworn to oppose Jin, come from?"

Goodness, Zou Ziqu addressed Yuan Zhen as Uncle Master, yet he refuted him entirely without leaving any face, overturning everything Yuan Zhen had just said and also severely criticizing both generations of Jin emperors, seemingly wishing to leave not even a shred of dignity for the Great Jin.

Bang...…

Tuoba Zun slapped the table in front of him to pieces, stood up with the four people behind him; correspondingly, Jing Tianyu also suddenly stood, their gazes intersecting in mid-air, in direct opposition, and the atmosphere inside the entire grand hall immediately turned deadly.

Hou Yuxiao, only now understanding why Jing Tianyu brought Zou Ziqu, and why Tuoba Zun brought Yuan Zhen...…
