That evening, the leader and elders of the Tianshan Sword Sect were chatting together.
The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect took a deep breath, then coughed a few times and said:
"This injury is indeed quite serious, but this matter must not be spread. We cannot let people know that I am seriously injured, as this would not be a good thing for the Tianshan Sword Sect."
Furthermore, our Tianshan Sword Sect suffered heavy losses this time, and we must quickly recruit new members to replenish our ranks.
One of the subordinates frowned and said:
"Even if we recruit some people to fill the vacancies, these people are not as skilled as the official members of our Tianshan Sword Sect, nor do they know our sect's martial arts. Therefore, they are hardly capable of being of great use!"
The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect sighed and said:
"It will take time to fill the vacancies for formal disciples of the family, and some problems can be solved first. What we can do now is just to increase the number of people."
As for their strength, they can only improve it slowly. Increasing their numbers is better than doing nothing; at least their sheer numbers are intimidating enough.
Let people know that our Tianshan Sword Sect has a large number of members, even though their strength is questionable, but outsiders don't know that.
Everyone agreed that this made sense, so they immediately went to do as the Tianshan Sword Sect leader had instructed.
Then the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect muttered to himself:
"Once our Tianshan Sword Sect recovers its strength, we will discuss with other sects how to attack the Hengshan Sect. You should know that the Hengshan Sect is even more hateful than the Beggars' Sect."
Moreover, they are the true enemies of all our sects. The powerful Beggars' Clan was wiped out by our combined forces, so the mere Hengshan Sect is naturally nothing to worry about.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile, even bursting into laughter. But just as he was enjoying his laughter, he heard someone outside say:
"Sect Leader, something seems amiss."
The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect frowned slightly and said with a puzzled expression:
"What's wrong? Don't make a fuss."
Upon hearing the sect leader's question, the subordinate outside spoke again:
"I went out just now to arrange some personnel changes for my subordinates, but I found that some of the positions guarding the sect were not occupied by any disciples."
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect said dismissively:
"Could it be because over three hundred disciples died this time? There might have been a lack of replacements in certain positions, resulting in a delay in sending people to these guard posts?"
The subordinate then said:
"That shouldn't be the case. The positions of those guarding the sect were already reassigned yesterday. After all, guarding the sect is very important. It wasn't combined with other reassignments. This arrangement has already been completed. There's no reason why no one should be guarding it."
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect finally frowned, his eyes darting around, before quickly speaking:
"Find out what happened immediately and get people to their posts as soon as possible. There is no room for error in the posts of guarding the sect."
The subordinate immediately nodded and left. It was at this moment that the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect began to feel uneasy.
After about half an hour, shouts of fighting and killing suddenly came from the entire sect.
At the same time, flames shot into the sky, and various screams rang out. The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect immediately widened his eyes, quickly drew his long sword, and rushed out of the room.
Outside the room, many disciples rushed out with weapons in hand, and at the entrance of the sect, the sounds of clashing swords and blades rang out. The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect immediately realized that something was wrong.
They hurried toward the sect entrance, where dozens or even hundreds of corpses lay, all members of the Tianshan Sword Sect.
At the same time, nearly six or seven hundred disciples of the Hengshan Sect, wielding long swords, fiercely charged into the Tianshan Sword Sect, killing anyone they saw.
The members of the Tianshan Sword Sect had just fallen asleep when they were suddenly awakened by the shouts of fighting. They got up in a daze, and before they could even put on their clothes or touch their weapons, they were killed with a single sword strike.
Therefore, it caused great losses to the Tianshan Sword Sect in a short period of time. Although some people reacted, they were already asleep and were not in a good state when they woke up, so their reactions were relatively slow.
Moreover, being caught off guard, they suffered a psychological breakdown. Considering all these factors, and comparing them to the disciples of the Tianshan Sword Sect who had been preparing for battle, as well as their well-prepared methods and determination to kill, the difference was like night and day.
Therefore, these disciples of the Tianshan Sword Sect had almost no way to resist the sudden appearance of the Hengshan Sect disciples; they could only put up a fight.
Then he was killed!
This disparity led to an increasing number of Tianshan Sword Sect disciples being killed, and the more they were killed, the more terrified the other disciples became.
The disparity in strength between the two sides grew ever wider, and soon, half of the disciples of the Tianshan Sword Sect fell.
However, the Hengshan Sect only suffered a loss of a little over a hundred people.
At that moment, while the two sides were fighting fiercely, the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect suddenly rushed out with his sword.
Seeing this, he shouted:
"Stop! What does this mean?"
His shout was quite imposing, silencing everyone in the courtyard at the sect's entrance, and everyone turned to look at him.
The leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect also looked at the intruders and frowned with some doubt, seeing that they were all dressed in black.
At this moment, the leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect saw a relatively familiar face among the many men in black; it was the leader of the Hengshan Sect.
