Chapter 260

Hong Family Village.

This place was isolated from the world, leaning against mountains and water.

In the fields, there were farmers plowing.

It could be said to be a paradise on earth.

However, in such a paradise.

A group of people from the Western Depot arrived here.

The leader had a feminine appearance and a fair face.

At a glance, one could tell he was a eunuch from the palace.

Yet he gave people a sense of beauty filled with power.

It was none other than Yu Huatian of the Western Depot, a capable assistant to the Emperor.

However, when the farmers of Hong Family Village saw the people from the Western Depot appear, they were not afraid at all.

One person even stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please stop. The Village Chief is cultivating and is not convenient for receiving guests."

Yu Huatian was not annoyed upon hearing this and said, "As expected of the Hong family that once moved the martial world, truly extraordinary."

"However, I have come here under imperial decree."

"I hope you can convey to the Hong Clan Leader to come and see me as soon as possible."

The farmer nodded upon hearing this and turned to leave.

Every move they made showed they didn't put Yu Huatian and the others in their eyes at all.

Such arrogant behavior made it hard to believe that this village was just a group of ordinary people.

"Factory Manager, these guys are too arrogant!"

"Should we give them a lesson?"

A guard couldn't help but say.

But Yu Huatian shook his head and said, "Do not cause trouble; don't look at this as just a small village."

"But, in the past, they could make the martial world tremble with a single stomp."

Yu Huatian's eyes were full of wariness.

More than a hundred years ago, the Hong family was world-famous.

In the martial world, they were known as one of the Four Great Families alongside the Dugu family of Wushuang City, the Nie family, the Duan family, and the Ao family of the Sword-Worshiping Manor.

However, in the martial world at that time, there was an Ancestor of Red Fire.

This person had peerless divine techniques and roamed the martial world.

In the end, the Emperor of the imperial court joined forces with the Four Great Families, the Emperor of Dongying, and numerous martial arts sects to besiege the Ancestor of Red Fire.

After that battle, except for Wushuang City which still stood in the Nine Provinces.

The other three great families suffered heavy losses.

The Nie family and the Duan family were reduced to a single lineage.

The Sword-Worshiping Manor fell from its high-and-mighty status as a holy land and had not yet recovered its vitality.

Finally, there was this Hong family, which completely disappeared from the martial world.

There was even a rumor in the martial world about a century-old legacy.

When the people of the Red family reappeared in the martial world, it would be the time of death for these great families and the imperial court.

It wasn't until more than a decade ago that the imperial court re-established contact with the Hong family.

They imprisoned some people from forces hostile to the imperial court here.

For this reason, Hong Family Village was also known as the Village of Extreme Evil.

However, just at this moment.

A sound of a flute rang out.

Then, a guard shouted.

"Snakes, snakes!"

Everyone looked over and saw that, at some point, the valley was filled with countless snakes.

As if driven by someone, they were constantly closing in on the valley.

"Snake-driving technique?"

"Who dares to offend Hong Family Village?"

A young Hong family disciple shouted.

Instantly, the farmers in the fields all transformed into martial artists, each exuding an extremely powerful aura.

They saw them fighting the snake swarm with their bare hands.

Each one was fearless, with unrivaled fist power.

"As expected of the Hong family!"

"Of the Four Great Families, the Duan family uses swords, the Nie family uses blades, and this Hong family uses fists."

"It is rumored that this Hong family's fist technique is unrivaled in the world."

"Seeing it today, it is truly well-deserved."

"Go and help them."

Yu Huatian gave the order.

The snake-driving technique might be infinitely powerful for ordinary martial artists.

But for experts, it was just a minor trick.

What was truly concerning was the poison.

Those who were good at driving snakes must be good at using poison.

Sure enough, just at this moment.

A strange smell floated in the air, and the guards of Hong Family Village and the Western Depot fell one after another.

"Who exactly is it?"

"What kind of skill is hiding your head and showing your tail!"

The Hong family youth shouted angrily.

He saw him take a deep breath.

His body actually expanded, and the next moment, he suddenly threw a punch.

Instantly, a giant fist swept out towards the front.

With a boom.

Countless snakes were directly blasted, the ground cracked, giant rocks shattered, and trees collapsed.

One strike, spreading for hundreds of meters.

One could see the terror of the fist power.

"It is rumored that the Hong family's fist is unrivaled in the world; seeing it today, it is truly well-deserved."

Just at this moment, from the valley, came the sound of bells.
