After Xiahou Hong became a laughingstock, the atmosphere on Yellow Crane Mountain grew peculiar.
Many of the ordinary disciples didn't dare discuss the matter, afraid Xiahou Hong would overhear them.
Anyone could see that Xiahou Hong had now developed a Heart Demon. He was emotionally unstable and might do something extreme.
In contrast, the atmosphere on Changqing Mountain was much more relaxed.
Ye Hao, Chu Daniu, Mu Qiuyan, and others had all come to Changqing Mountain to help prepare for the Core Formation Ceremony.
Whenever Xiahou Hong's name came up, everyone couldn't help but gloat.
"I heard that old coot has already developed a Heart Demon."
"Serves him right!"
"He committed countless evil deeds, annihilating entire families with his strength and background. A day like this was long overdue. I heard both of his sons died under mysterious circumstances—it's probably karma..."
Changqing Mountain was filled with laughter and cheerful voices.
