The events taking place in the Heavenly Court spread at an incredibly frightening speed to many Prominent Families. When they learned of someone like Fang Yan, such a heaven-defying guy, everyone couldn't stay calm. If such a perversely talented Disciple were to grow, what would that mean? These Prominent Families could not be unaware...
Each Prominent Family had different attitudes towards Fang Yan. Some, like the Wu Family, viewed Fang Yan as a significant threat and were bent on having the family Disciples within the Sect eliminate Fang Yan to eliminate future troubles. Others took a more cautious stance, signaling the Sect's Disciples to treat Fang Yan normally, waiting for clarity before taking action. Some families even saw Fang Yan's rise as an opportunity, advising their Sect's Disciples to be friendly with Fang Yan and maintain good relations.
