Both families were aligned with the County Magistrate, Fan Longhe.
Without mentioning Gui Yutang's realization that something was amiss, at the very front of the Hou Clan troop, Hou Fei squeezed out of the crowd and whispered to Hou Yucheng, "Second Master, there has been no news from the Family Head. Master Fanyin and the five grandmasters have already engaged the Blood Demon. The aftermath of the battle is too terrifying; I can't get anywhere close!"
Upon hearing Hou Fei's report, Hou Yucheng's expression immediately turned sour, and he couldn't help but worry about Hou Yuxiao.
Although the multitude of demons looked intimidating, he was not at all daunted. Thanks to his relationship with Old Fifth, he had no intention of battling these demons. As soon as the demons appeared, he had led the Hou Clan members to retreat to the rear.
