Soon, people from all walks of life gathered at Wulao Mountain, making the place very lively.
Because not only did people from various sects and factions come, but many people from the martial arts world also came to watch. After all, such a grand scene would not be missed by those in the martial arts world who love to join in the fun.
What is Jianghu? Isn't Jianghu just a group of people forming a community?
In the world of martial arts, isn't it all about having a reputation and power?
So wouldn't it be a pity not to attend such an event? Wouldn't it be a waste of your time and knowledge?
How am I supposed to brag about this in the future?
Therefore, in the martial arts world, whenever there is a big event, many martial arts figures will join in the fun and will never be absent.
This also led to a rapid flow of information in the martial arts world, and when someone accomplished something significant, their reputation would quickly spread.
Just like some recent major events, the Tianlong Gang has become famous, and the Xiaoyao Sect has been wiped out, which has also caused a great stir in the martial arts world.
Rumors in the martial arts world say that various sects have fallen out over the Demonic Sect's treasures, leading to conflicts between them. They have all gone to the Free and Unfettered Sect to prepare for the division of the spoils.
This ultimately led to an unprecedented battle, which even wiped out the Xiaoyao Sect.
Of course, the truth never came out, because no one knew the real truth.
The truth that those sect members thought they knew was also false. They were just people who thought they knew the inside story and spread rumors that the destruction of the Xiaoyao Sect was actually a conspiracy by the Hengshan Sect.
They claimed that the reason the Free and Unfettered Sect obtained the Demonic Sect's treasure was also a conspiracy by the Hengshan Sect, and even said that the Heavenly Dragon Gang was actually part of the Hengshan Sect.
These were all deliberately spread by Zhu Yunwen, leading them to speculate on the false truth, which misled everyone in the martial arts world, and suddenly everyone in the martial arts world began to talk about the Hengshan Sect.
I always felt that the Hengshan Sect was a group of treacherous villains who could come up with such a hateful conspiracy to wipe out the Xiaoyao Sect. They were simply despicable.
Their discussion was very detrimental to the reputation of the Hengshan Sect, which is why the Hengshan Sect did not participate when various sects attacked the Beggars' Sect.
Instead, they all hid within the Hengshan Sect, fearing that if they came out, they would be criticized and insulted by other martial arts figures.
Inside the Hengshan Sect, the sect leader's face was extremely gloomy. He was recuperating from his injuries, and all the elders, middle-level and high-level members of the Hengshan Sect were gathered in a large hall.
Then an elderly elder from the Hengshan Sect frowned and said:
"Sect Leader, what exactly happened? Why did we, like other sects, go to the Free and Unfettered Sect to share the benefits, only to end up like this?"
How did we end up being accused of orchestrating this whole thing? We had no idea about it at all!
Upon hearing this, the head of the Hengshan Sect sighed helplessly and said:
"Elder Li speaks as if I know the truth of the matter. I am just as bewildered as you are about how things turned out this way, so please do not use this tone to criticize or hold me accountable!"
After hearing the sect leader's words, the elder sighed after a long silence and then said:
"No matter what, we must investigate the truth of this matter thoroughly and clear the name of our Hengshan Sect. Otherwise, if we are misunderstood by people in the martial arts world, our Hengshan Sect will be wiped out sooner or later."
Furthermore, this time, you, Sect Leader, suffered heavy losses with your disciples at the Free and Unfettered Sect, almost forging blood feuds with other sects. I'm afraid this matter won't be easily resolved. Such hatred isn't so easily dissolved.”
After a moment of silence, the leader of the Hengshan Sect spoke:
"I have a feeling that we've all fallen into a conspiracy, and a huge and terrifying one at that."
Our Hengshan Sect has merely become a target for the transfer of conflict, with all of this being shifted onto our Hengshan Sect.
It's probably not just about shifting the blame; more importantly, they want to drag us into this and deal with us.
Upon hearing the sect leader's words, all the senior and middle-level managers present fell silent.
Although everyone feels this way, what's the use of just having this feeling?
We need to really bring out the person behind the scenes.
Old Zhang slammed his hand on the table and said:
"Investigate thoroughly. Although this time, my Hengshan Sect is destined to be mortal enemies with all other sects, forming an irreconcilable hatred, and conflicts will inevitably occur in the future."
However, the truth must be uncovered. Even if our Hengshan Sect is one day attacked by a coalition of other sects, we must not be saddened by this infamy; we must clear our name.
Although it sounds a bit helpless, there's nothing we can do about it.
Yes, reputation is the most important thing for people in the martial arts world, especially for sects like theirs. If their reputation is ruined, then they are truly finished.
Although this time it was destined that a deadly battle would have already taken place between the Free and Unfettered Sect and other sects, and that they would become mortal enemies with each other.
Even if we become mortal enemies, we must clear up the misunderstandings and not bear the stigma.
Although we are enemies, if we haven't done something, then we definitely haven't done it. We can't just be wiped out and end up with a bad reputation.
This is their last vestige of dignity.
Therefore, the leader and elders of the Hengshan Sect unanimously decided to investigate the truth.
Meanwhile, the Hengshan Sect was busy investigating the truth for a period of time. On the other hand, the Beggars' Sect had already fallen into Zhu Yunwen's conspiracy.
