With Xiao Yuanshan dead, Ye Weiming and Xiao Feng had effectively become bound by an irreconcilable blood feud. After all, rather than calling Xiao Yuanshan's death a suicide, it would be more accurate to say that Ye Weiming had driven him to it.
Before avenging his great hatred, Xiao Yuanshan could naturally fight desperately without regard for anything else, preserving his useful life to seek revenge for his innocent wife's tragic death.
But now that Murong Bo, the mastermind behind everything, was dead and his great vengeance had been fulfilled, Xiao Yuanshan no longer had any obsession left in his heart. At that point, he had to spare a thought for Xiao Feng.
In fact, in the original story, it was only after Xiao Yuanshan personally witnessed Murong Bo's death that his mindset underwent a dramatic change. The Sweeping Monk then took the opportunity to enlighten him, and he withdrew from worldly affairs thereafter.
