In early May, the Hexi Alliance quietly released a message:
Master Hou Yuxiao of the Hexi Hou Clan will marry Zhao Qingxue, a esteemed elder of the Taishang Path "Forget Love" line of the Ziqing Holy Sect and disciple of Moxuzi, on the eighth day of June.
The influence of this message was not considered too significant.
As Hou Yuxiao had said, for those major forces and even the Holy Lands, the connection between Hexi and the Ziqing Holy Sect was hardly a secret; as for the smaller forces, whether they knew or not didn't really matter.
Following the battle at Longxiang Ferry, the Hexi Alliance could not claim to have shaken the world, but it had certainly caught the attention of the major forces. So, as soon as this message was released, those who were interested took immediate notice, and upon learning that the wedding was set for the eighth day of June, many forces sent representatives to Hexi.
