The death of the Beggars' Sect leader seemed to signify that all of this had finally come to a temporary close, and at least this time, Zhu Yunwen's goal had been achieved once again.

From then on, the Beggars' Sect could practically be wiped out of the martial arts world, which pleased him greatly.

After all, no matter what, several major sects in the martial arts world have been destroyed because of him, and all sects in the martial arts world have suffered heavy losses as a result.

Everything went very smoothly, so dealing with other sects will also be very easy.

According to Zhu Yunwen's plan, after the Beggars' Sect was destroyed, he would continue to sow discord between the Hengshan Sect and other sects.

In fact, there's no need to sow discord between the Hengshan Sect and other sects.

These sects were willing to fight to the death with the Free and Unfettered Sect for the sake of the Demonic Sect's valuable items.

These so-called prestigious sects, too, are locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Beggars' Sect over some cars and matters of face.

So why would the Hengshan Sect just give up and die?

You should know that the Hengshan Sect has a real grudge against them, and they suspect that they were fooled by the Hengshan Sect's plan before, and even suspect that the whole thing was a scheme set up by the Hengshan Sect.

Therefore, the Hengshan Sect would never let this go. Even without Zhu Yunwen's involvement, their grudges would escalate rapidly.

Furthermore, it breaks down rapidly.

The battle at Wulao Mountain has come to an end. Almost all of the hundreds of disciples sent by various sects, totaling more than three thousand, perished here.

Only a few sect leaders were able to leave alive, and after these sect leaders left alive, the martial arts world was truly thrown into turmoil.

Because many sect leaders have already died in this battle.

Previously, they were injured in the Demonic Sect and then seriously injured in the Free and Unfettered Sect. They came to the Beggars' Sect to cause trouble, and then they lost their lives.

They really know how to cause trouble. If even one of the sects had been willing to swallow their anger, settle things peacefully, or curb their greed, perhaps this terrible consequence wouldn't have happened.

Unfortunately, no. Apart from Shaolin and Wudang, almost no other sect was willing to let things go, nor was any sect willing to lower itself and let things simply pass.

Their narrow-mindedness, their conflicted personalities, and their deep concern for face all made them take these matters extremely seriously, ultimately leading them to become increasingly entangled and ultimately causing heavy losses to the sect, even costing the sect leader his life.

As for the higher-ups in those sects, after receiving the news, they not only showed no remorse or restraint, but were extremely angry and immediately elected new sect leaders.

We must wipe out the remaining forces of the Beggars' Sect, no matter what.

Furthermore, they began to plan, feeling that they had to take revenge for the grudge they had incurred with the Hengshan Sect.

After all, they suffered heavy losses in the Xiaoyao Sect and always believed that it was all related to the Hengshan Sect. Some sects even believed that it was a foregone conclusion that the Hengshan Sect was behind it.

The trap that Zhu Yunwen dug for the Hengshan Sect, which led to other sects being drawn into the same predicament, has always been a hurdle, or rather a thorn, in their hearts.

They would never let it go so easily, and the leader of the Hengshan Sect was well aware of this. When the Hengshan Sect received the news that the Beggars' Clan had been wiped out, the leader of the Hengshan Sect looked extremely grim.

He said through gritted teeth:

"These stupid bastards, they will definitely besiege our Hengshan Sect next. The Hengshan Sect has inexplicably become their enemy and inexplicably stood on the opposite side."

They didn't even give me a chance or room to explain; they directly opposed me within the Xiaoyao Sect, making us mortal enemies of the Hengshan Sect. How should the Hengshan Sect respond now?

Actually, it's all useless to talk about misunderstandings, traps, or sowing discord now, because the Hengshan Sect did indeed engage in a fierce battle with the Xiaoyao Sect and other sects.

If the misunderstanding had been cleared up at the time, it would have been fine, but the misunderstanding wasn't cleared up, and the fight was so fierce that it caused great losses to all the sects.

Even if the various sects don't cause trouble for the Hengshan Sect, even if the Hengshan Sect knows it's innocent, it will still cause trouble for the various sects one day.

After all, they already had a life-or-death hatred for each other, so the conflict between the two sides could no longer be resolved.

Sooner or later, they will definitely start fighting again. It's not that the Hengshan Sect doesn't want to settle their grudges with them, but they are worried that the Hengshan Sect is no match for them now.

After all, the other sects were united. Now that the Xiaoyao Sect and the Beggars' Sect have been wiped out, the Hengshan Sect obviously doesn't have the confidence to fight against so many sects.

However, if they don't deal with them now, and wait until those sects gradually recover their peak strength before confronting Hengshan Sect, Hengshan Sect will be even more passive.

At this moment, an elderly elder of the Hengshan Sect spoke up:

"The conflict between the Hengshan Sect and other sects has reached an irreconcilable point, and one day it will inevitably lead to a large-scale battle."

Or rather, they will definitely attack the Hengshan Sect. My opinion is that, while they haven't fully recovered, we should strike first.

Upon hearing this, the Hengshan Sect leader frowned and said:

"A preemptive attack? This would put our Hengshan Sect in a crisis on its own initiative!"

The elder then said, "You're confused. Think about it. Once they come to their senses, won't they still attack our Hengshan Sect? And by then, they will be well-prepared, and we may not be able to withstand them."

However, now, those sects have suffered severe losses and have lost more than half of their disciples.
