There were actually quite a few Hidden Families in Huaxia, but many martial artists knew nothing about them.
Moreover, some Hidden Families liked to build villas and estates deep within mountains and forests.
To outsiders, they appeared to be no more than reclusive wealthy tycoons.

That was because the places where Hidden Families resided possessed relatively abundant spiritual energy, making them highly suitable for Martial King cultivation.
The Gao Family was the same. The Gao Family estate was a place rich in spiritual energy.
