The four major sects retreated too quickly, not giving the others any chance to react. Only Zhao Hai knew what was going on. Some of the smaller sects in the Alliance of the nine major sects didn't even know about this. When they found out about this, the four major sects had already left the four northern provinces.
As soon as the four major sects withdrew from the four bei States, the Alliance of the nine major sects naturally ceased to exist, especially the small sects of the former four bei States. After they learned that the four major sects had retreated, their first reaction was to be very panicked, but then they all quieted down. In these people's opinion, it was impossible for them to resist the freedom Alliance now, so they could only wait for the freedom Alliance to take over their territory and see how the freedom Alliance would deal with them at that time.
