The battle between the two sides was even more intense than the last one, because previously it was a group of righteous sects besieging a Xiaoyao Sect.
Now, the Free and Unfettered Sect has gained an ally that can hardly be considered an ally: the Hengshan Sect.
Although the Xiaoyao Sect believes that the reason they have fallen to such a state is probably because of the Hengshan Pit.
However, it must be admitted that the Hengshan Sect has now become the target of everyone's attacks, which has at least relieved a lot of pressure on the Xiaoyao Sect, so that the remaining sects are not only attacking the Xiaoyao Sect.
He had one less real enemy and one more real friend. This naturally made things much easier for him. However, since the difference in strength between the two sides wasn't that great, the battle became even more intense.
If the strength of both sides could be kept at a relatively equal level, then the level of carnage would be even more extreme.
But regardless, at this moment, quite a few disciples are falling in this battle.
The disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect have suffered countless deaths and injuries, and the disciples of the Hengshan Sect have also suffered considerable casualties.
Other sects and factions, though slightly better off, would not actually escape unscathed in such a battle.
Only the sect leaders are somewhat capable of protecting themselves. The gap between ten sect leaders and two sect leaders is huge.
Therefore, as the battle progressed, the leaders of the Hengshan Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect also began to lose ground.
Being overwhelmed by the other sect leaders who outnumbered her, Zhao Qingzhu, who was hiding in the shadows, knew she had to help. So she secretly took action, either throwing stones or darts.
They were always able to ensure that the leaders of the Hengshan Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect would not be killed by the enemy in a single blow during times of crisis. This allowed them to overcome difficulties in danger many times and continue fighting with the other sect leaders.
Time passed by, and soon only twenty or thirty people remained standing.
Almost all the disciples fell down; those who were able to stand, apart from the sect leader, were the few rare experts in the sect.
Most of these experts were from the Free and Unfettered Sect, since this was their territory, and besides their sect leader, there were other high-ranking experts as well.
Unlike other sects, they came to this place and couldn't possibly bring all their experts with them.
Therefore, they only brought a small number of experts.
Therefore, this disparity has ultimately made the battle between the two sides more evenly matched.
But now the battle is basically over, and even the sect leaders are all injured.
Moreover, the leader of the Tongtong Sect was killed in the chaos by the leader of the Hengshan Sect with a single sword strike to the throat.
The martial arts skills of the leader of the Kongtong Sect were not very high to begin with, and he was relatively at the bottom among the first-class forces.
It's not surprising to die in such a chaotic and brutal battle.
In addition, the leader of the Emei Sect lost an arm, and the leader of the Shushan Sect was seriously injured and unable to fight.
The other sect leaders were in no better shape either. Clearly, this battle had turned the Hengshan Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect into mortal enemies with the other sects.
And it's the kind of situation where there's absolutely no possibility of mediation.
Regardless of whether we were manipulated before, whether this was a setup, or what misunderstandings there were, it's all in vain now.
They have already developed a real grudge. The dead disciples, the injured sect leader, and even the deceased sect leader will become their new enemies, destined to be irreconcilable enemies.
In fact, after this battle, the Xiaoyao Sect was almost wiped out. Apart from some servants and maids who did not know martial arts, there was not a single person in the entire Xiaoyao Sect who knew martial arts and was still able to stand here.
Even the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect was kneeling on the ground, sword in one hand, coughing up blood.
Everyone stopped fighting. The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect, who was still barely able to stand, and several other leaders who were seriously injured but still alive, looked at each other.
Leading their few remaining disciples, they approached the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect and asked:
"Tell us where the Demonic Sect's secrets are kept, or we'll kill you today..."
The way you self-proclaimed righteous sect leaders are behaving and acting is even more hateful than that of the demonic sect.
They seemed to have stopped pretending and just stared intently at the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect smiled, spat out some blood, and then said:
"What difference is there between me today and being dead? So even if I die, I will not tell you where I am placed..."
The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect gritted his teeth and then roared:
"You're asking for it..."
As he spoke, he drew his longsword, ready to fight, but was stopped by the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, who said:
"He's already a dead man, why bother to kill him? It would only earn us the infamy of killing him."
If word gets out in the martial arts world that we killed the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect here today for the sake of the Demonic Sect's assets, it won't be appropriate.
Even though such hatred has been so deeply ingrained, we must still cherish our reputation.
Upon hearing the Shu Mountain Sect Leader's words, even the Tianshan Sword Sect Leader found it laughable. What time is it now? Is it still necessary to cherish one's reputation?
News of what happened here would spread sooner or later, but he wasn't entirely without reason. Although the conflict between the two sides had resulted in a large-scale battle, the fact that the leader of the Tian Sheng Sword Sect had killed the leader of the Xiao Yao Sect would attract a lot of attention.
It's really not good.
So he sheathed his sword and said to the others, "Go in and search; I refuse to believe we won't find it."
Then, with his injured body, he went to various secret rooms of the Free and Unfettered Sect to search for the treasures of the Demonic Cult.
In the end, they found it.
The sect leaders who were not seriously injured and whose injuries did not affect their mobility were all very happy.
They ignored the injured sect leaders and divided up the entire wealth of the demonic sect among themselves.
It's good to have one less person to share, so even though the other sects were very dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything at the moment.
For example, the leaders of the Emei and Kongtong sects were either half-dead or even dead. Where would they find the energy to compete for the treasures of the demonic sects?
With that, the matter was completely over. In order to cover up the evil facts here, all the surviving members of the sects present quickly retreated.
Especially the Shu Mountain Sect and the Tianshan Sword Sect, they got the benefits and ran away faster than anyone else.
After they left, soon, apart from the dead, there were almost no living people left in the Free and Unfettered Sect.
Then Zhao Qingzhu told Zhu Yuntong about this. In Zhu Yuntong's room, the daughter of the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect was still threatening him.
Upon seeing Zhao Qingzhu return, Zhu Yunwen smiled, then stood up and said to the daughter of the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect:
"Stop cursing. Didn't you want to go back? I'll take you back."
The woman, unaware of how far things had progressed, said to Zhu Yunwen:
"You'd better hurry up, or I won't let you off the hook when we get back."
Zhu Yunwen simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
