Hou Hu naturally believed that he deserved the position of leader, especially since Li Tianhua was willing to back him, providing both manpower and food, forcing Hou Hu back to Zhaoyang and reclaiming the leadership position from Hou Jing.
At that time, Hou Hu's strength was actually inferior to Hou Jing's. Hou Jing ultimately yielded, largely due to the pressure from Long Mountain and Li Tianhua.
In short, from then on, the grudge between the two was formed.
Hou Hu was highly wary of his second uncle, showing only outward respect. When it came to cultivation resources, especially the share of the Jade Bone Medicine, during the Cold Resistance Level that belonged to Hou Jing's household, it was very little.
This is why he was able to rise later and surpass Hou Jing in strength, with most of the Cold Resistance Level members in the camp uniting around him.
