280, Splitting the Earth to Establish Boundaries, Fame Spreads in All Directions (3)_3

This unusual reaction immediately sparked much speculation among the crowd.

Some thought the Hou Clan was putting on an act, bluffing; others believed the Hou Clan dared not block so many experts from entering the city; and still others guessed the Hou Clan was pretending to be unaware, refraining from any reaction to avoid embarrassment...

In short, there were all kinds of speculations, but no one believed that the Hou Clan had the confidence. Instead, everyone seemed to be waiting to watch the excitement unfold.

In fact, the attitude of the crowd was very normal. After all, the Hou Clan had only entered the spotlight of Xingnan Prefecture's and the nearby three prefectures' martial artists for about three years.

Specifically, it was only after the Tongling Disturbance that anyone who cared to investigate could easily find out that the Hou Clan had truly risen to prominence in just a short period of four years.
