Su Yang returned to the city and immediately sought out Hou Shilin to inquire about the current situation of the Hou Family.
According to Hou Shilin, the Hou Family was now at a critical juncture of life and death.
Because of the death of Xue Tianzhuo, the Xue Family had completely fallen out with the Hou Family and was intent on destroying them.
Such incidents are very rare among the great clans, and once they happen, they are often insoluble unless one of the clans is utterly defeated. Otherwise, the battle cannot end.
Hou Xiangde had already gone to the Capital City to deal with the matter through his connections. Likewise, Old Master Xue was not idle, he too had gone to the Capital City, using his influence to counter Hou Xiangde.
Now was the time for a tug of war between the two sides. Ultimately, Hou Xiangde's seniority fell short of Old Master Xue's, hence the situation for the Hou Family was not optimistic.
