Of course they wouldn't stay silent!
The Xu family could only bask in glory today because of their ancestral blessings and the maintenance of the family line by its successors.

Xu Pei's solitary "Mister Wu Ma" was followed immediately by Xu Fei's clean hit—the baton in his hand landed heavily on Wu Ma Shang's face. In the blink of an eye, a bright red mark appeared on his face, silencing the entire crowd in the assembly.

When Xu Fei swung at Wu Ma Shang, the latter couldn't dodge in time and took a direct hit from the elephant tooth baton.
