Unfortunately, no one knows the truth.
Several days later, they finally received some news from various sects and factions. Both the Tianshan Sword Sect and the Shushan Emei Sect had some survivors who had not been completely wiped out at the time.
Thus, these survivors brought news to other sects, telling them the truth about how their sects were wiped out.
When all the sects learned that their destruction was entirely due to the Hengshan Sect, everyone in the passage gasped in shock.
Although they were shocked, it was also understandable. It seemed that in the martial arts world, apart from the Hengshan Sect, no other sect would do such a thing.
This led all the sects to conclude that the Hengshan Sect wanted to become the overlord of the martial arts world, which was why they would do such a thing.
All the sects were furious about this matter. They understood the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" (meaning that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold), and if they did not deal with this matter quickly, one of them might be the next to be wiped out.
Even all of them.
As a result, the various factions immediately began to unite, discussing countermeasures and devising plans.
They ultimately decided to unite all schools and sects to launch a joint attack on the Hengshan Sect.
They also planned to seek help from Shaolin and Wudang, since Shaolin and Wudang are now considered top-tier forces in the martial arts world.
If both sides were to get involved, the problem could be solved.
Conversely, if they are unwilling to get involved, the remaining sects still have some concerns about dealing with the Hengshan Sect.
However, after receiving the invitation, Wudang and Shaolin ultimately chose not to participate in this matter.
As mentioned before, Wudang and Shaolin are the closest to the secular world. They not only operate in the martial arts world, but their temples and Taoist monasteries also serve ordinary people in the secular world.
Therefore, most of the time they don't have that much energy to get involved in all the conflicts in the martial arts world.
In other words, Shaolin and Wudang have already become somewhat commercialized. In the current era of the Ming Dynasty, the people are very wealthy, so Shaolin and Wudang have plenty of ways to make money.
There are so many worshippers in the temples and Taoist temples that they are too busy collecting money to have any time to get involved in the affairs of the martial arts world.
There were two reasons why they went to deal with the Demonic Cult. One reason was that the Demonic Cult was called the Demonic Cult, and the Shaolin and Wudang people went to eliminate the Demonic Cult for the sake of their reputation.
After all, their temples enshrine Buddhas, and their Taoist temples enshrine deities.
So isn't it reasonable for them to remove the demonic smell?
In this way, their reputation will grow, which will be more beneficial to their temples and Taoist monasteries, attracting more people to worship them.
The second reason is that they also wanted some benefits. After all, the Demonic Sect is indeed very wealthy, and Shaolin and Wudang also wanted to get a share of the pie.
In short, Shaolin and Wudang are very pragmatic. They will participate if there is profit to be made, but they are unlikely to go if there is no benefit.
Just like before when they went to cause trouble for the Xiaoyao Sect, they chose not to go to Shaolin and Wudang.
After all, it wouldn't be good if this got out, as it would damage their reputation.
Even when dealing with the Beggars' Sect, Shaolin and Wudang still chose not to intervene.
So this time, when they are going to attack the Hengshan Sect, Shaolin and Wudang will naturally not step in.
They won't do anything that doesn't bring them any benefit. What's the point of fighting and killing in the martial arts world every day if there's no reward?
They'd be better off chanting sutras in a temple, looking into marriage prospects, and telling fortunes for others. They could earn more money that way without the danger.
In short, if Shaolin and Wudang choose not to get involved with these sects, they can only unite themselves and prepare to confront Hengshan Tai Dongshou.
All of this was under Zhu Yuntong's control. Zhu Yuntong looked at a letter in his hand and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. It was some information that his Tianlong Gang members had gathered from all over the martial arts world.
After reading it, he said to Zhao Qingzhu beside him:
"Let's get ready and go to Hengshan Sect to watch the show. This time, several sects have joined forces to deal with Hengshan Sect, and many forces will inevitably suffer losses there."
Our crackdown on the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is finally nearing its end.
Hearing Zhu Yuntong say that, Zhao Qingzhu chuckled:
"It's finally coming to an end. Now I need to step up and deal with those people on the expert list properly, and teach them a lesson."
