The whispers of the masses are the hardest to silence.
The scene where Hou Yuxiao humiliated Wufa quickly spread through the mouths of Earthshade Monastic Soldiers, who witnessed it firsthand, to the ears of the remnants and defeated soldiers of Leiyin Temple. Even the Deputy Abbot with Xuanyin Realm Peak cultivation was humiliated in such a manner, nearly killed; let alone those who witnessed it, even just hearing about it, the sect members and troops of Leiyin Temple were terrified.
The effect caused by this was that the remnants and defeated soldiers of Leiyin Temple withdrew from Jianye Prefecture City at a greatly accelerated pace. It only took a little more than two hours for the entire Jianye Prefecture City to be left with only the civilians and the Hou Clan's Red Flame Army.
