Previously, when Xu Fan slew Qing Xuan, the attitude of the crowd was exceedingly subtle.
On one hand, Xu Fan had saved everyone multiple times before. While they didn't feel deeply grateful, they disdained the idea of stabbing Xu Fan in the back with betrayal.
Yet on the other hand, the status and influence of the Taoist family were absolutely terrifying. This was no longer about personal gains, but rather a matter of life and death for their families!
Once angered, the wrath of the Taoist family awaited them, and the consequences were imaginable...
Therefore, most of the crowd had deliberately distanced themselves from Xu Fan at the time, hence the backhanded sarcasm aimed at Xu Fan.
However, when the crowd later witnessed Xu Fan's battle with the Golden Ape and saw him severely injure it, they were shocked and appalled. Simultaneously, their attitude towards Xu Fan subtly changed.
