He wants the sect eliminated completely rather than risking surviving enemies seeking revenge later.

• The Mu Clan’s stronghold is assaulted by three Blood Fiend Sect cultivators. Mu Yunxiong and the attackers argue over which side initiated the conflict, with both claiming the other had committed the first aggression.
• News of the attacks throws the Red Sun Star Domain into turmoil. Although the Blood Fiend Sect claims responsibility only for the attack on the Mu Clan, the simultaneous assaults on the Zhao and Ouyang Clans lead many factions to suspect it. Rogue cultivators exploit the chaos, further damaging the sect’s reputation.
• Lin Xuan takes advantage of the disorder to destroy the Green Rainbow Sect’s headquarters.

The others readily agree, partly because they value Han Changming’s alchemy skills and want to maintain good relations.
• Zhao Tianxue questions Han Changming about escaping Ximen Lang in Falling Dragon Abyss. Han Changming gives the prepared explanation that he hid after escaping a seventh-rank demon beast and left once his injuries improved.
