Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 690 - 309, The Beginning of Leiyin Temple’s Decline
"My lord jests. The sect members are untalented, and we failed to notify you in advance of our passage. It was just a small misunderstanding, why make it so severe? If you have any request, please feel free to speak. If our temple can satisfy your demands, we will certainly agree, hoping only that you may spare these sect members today!"
The Southern Medicine Master's tone was extremely humble, and he, who had been sitting upright, stood up from mid-air as he spoke, continuously bowing to the River Lord.
A hint of disbelief flickered in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. During the final phase of the Tongling battle three years ago, he had seen the Southern Medicine Master, the Buddha. Present alongside him were Huangfu Xing, Wuxin the Taoist Master, and Jing Tianyu.
Back then, these great beings from the holy lands seemed like existences he had to look up to; he even felt that no one in this world could ever threaten them.
He had also thought that he would one day confront Leiyin Temple and Qinjian Villa, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly. Three years ago, the sublime beings who towered above all were now kneeling before him, making him profoundly shocked.

"Your Leiyin Temple advances into Xiayuan without a word, sparing these sect members now, so you have them left to come and kill these demon descendants of Tongtian River later?"
The River Lord's eyes lowered. Judging purely by the aura around him, he was even weaker than some demons whose true forms had emerged behind him, but if one paid close attention, one could realize that when he spoke, the surrounding space seemed to tremble with his voice.
Especially when he spoke the last sentence, sudden huge waves rose beside him, instantly transforming the entire river surface into eerie clouds and waves, clearly indicating that his mood was not as calm as it appeared.
Despite his displeasure, the Southern Medicine Master dared not show any sign on his face. He looked at the River Lord, silent for a moment, and then continued respectfully, "Rest assured, Lord, Leiyin Temple's journey south this time is only aimed at the Rakshasa Holy Sect, with absolutely no intention to be an enemy of you, Lord. If you do not trust us, we can sign a pact with you. How about that?"
The word "pact" touched on a taboo for the River Lord, and his previously amiable expression suddenly turned cold. The water around him surged by five or six meters, and a giant wave lifted him high up. His right hand gathered a cluster of water mist and struck a palm towards the Southern Medicine Master, the Buddha.
The water mist in the sky condensed and combined, and in an instant, the sky within hundreds of miles seemed to turn azure, as if the sea were upside down. Torrential waters converged above everyone's heads, forming a hundred-mile-wide palm seal.
The width of a hundred miles wasn't just impressively large in appearance; the force it carried was also far beyond ordinary people's imagination. The surrounding violent winds howled, the ground trembled ceaselessly, and the sky flashed with lightning and roared with thunder—this was a phenomenon of heaven and earth drawn by the powerful Demon Qi.
"My lord, calm your anger; I misspoke in haste, not intending to bring up old grievances. Please, calm down..."
It seemed the Southern Medicine Master had realized it, speaking hastily in an attempt to apologise, but alas, his plea had no effect whatsoever.
With a thunderous boom...
A shocking explosion occurred, and the space where the Southern Medicine Master was located was directly shattered, revealing the endless void behind it. The ground below where he stood was completely leveled, and some soldiers with low cultivation were reduced to ash under this palm strike. Had it not been for Hou Yuxiao and Wufa simultaneously deploying their cultivation to protect those behind them, it is likely that half the soldiers would have been dissolved by this palm.
The ground was lifted five or six meters up, flowers and trees dissolved in an instant, the water at the edge of the river evaporated completely, and the already ruined ferry point looked as if it had been erased from existence, leaving nothing but barren land.
Even the tens of thousands of corpses of the Huang Chan Army disappeared!
Hou Yuxiao was hugely startled at this moment. The last time he saw such a powerful attack was at Tongling, when Huangfu Xing confronted Jing Tianyu with the Kara Destroyer Palm. If he recalled correctly, Huangfu Xing's palm strike covered a range of five hundred miles, but the destruction it caused was nothing compared to what the River Lord delivered today.
Puff...
A muffled groan rose from mid-air, and above the head of the Southern Medicine Master, a rectangular green-and-blue jade screen was slowly spinning, emitting a green light that conveyed a profound sense of Zen.
Though the light was already weak, it fortunately saved his life.
Even so, the Southern Medicine Master's rotund body had shrunk by more than half at this time. The singularity behind him, which almost perfectly represented his broken realm's capabilities, had begun to shatter. Not just the singularity—his body was also cracking. Looking at the River Lord, his pupils filled with fear and horror.
Clearly, he too had not expected the River Lord's strength to be so formidable.
"Such a Buddhist treasure should not be in the hands of waste like you, used merely to shield your aura and barely preserve your life. It's absolutely a waste of heavenly material!"
The River Lord appeared to understand the Bright Glazed Glass Screen far better than the Southern Medicine Master, its owner. He snorted disdainfully and with a flash of greed in his eyes, he reached forward, intending to snatch the treasure.
At this moment, the Southern Medicine Master was utterly powerless to fight back, unable to protect his treasure, watching helplessly as the Bright Glazed Glass Screen flew from above his head, his face full of urgency.
"Tongtian scourge, to oppress the young just because you are older is one thing but to covet our Chan Sect's sacred treasure, the Bright Glazed Glass Screen, which does not belong to you!"
......
A powerful and domineering voice came from the sky, instantly shocking everyone present. Although Hou Yuxiao had anticipated that a more formidable character from Leiyin Temple would appear, that this newcomer would address the River Lord as "Tongtian scourge" still far surpassing his expectations; he and everyone else focused their gaze on the air behind the Southern Medicine Master, eager to see who it was that had such audacity.
