Any hidden family or sect, upon confirming this news was true, would be eager to draw a clear line between themselves and the Zhe Family. Annihilating an entire clan for profit was very different from doing so out of hatred.
Although strength reigned supreme in this world, as human beings, one still had to have a basic conscience and morality. To slaughter thousands of people from two families overnight for profit or personal greed... including countless defenseless women and children—such an act was utterly monstrous.
No family or sect would be willing to associate with a family like that!
Thus, although the Zhe Family was powerful, that one act of annihilation caused many of the families who were once close to them to gradually draw a line and distance themselves.
If the Zhe Family weren't so overwhelmingly powerful, people would have likely cried out for justice for the Ye Family and the High Priest's Su Family!
