Given the current strength of the Hou Clan, regarding the highest position in the Holy Church, it was best to avoid taking sides whenever possible. Hou Yuduan's consideration was faultless. Hou Yuxiao acted out of a mix of fear toward Zhan Taiqing and Sikong Yue; both women were formidable, and together with Sikong Xingzhou, the number one in the world, involving themselves in this matter would bring nothing but harm to the Hou Clan.
It was fortunate that the New Moon Gathering had not invited the powers of Xiayuan Dao, so the Hou Clan could conveniently pretend to know nothing. They could remain detached and simply accept the results from the Headquarters willingly after everything was settled. Even the fiercest blaze would not reach them.
