What happens

Kung Fu Cult Master (倚天屠龍記之魔教教主), also known as Kung Fu Master, Evil Cult, and Lord of the Wu Tang, is a 1993 Hong Kong wuxia film loosely adapted from the novel The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber by Jin Yong. Directed by Wong Jing, it featured fight choreography by Sammo Hung and starred Jet Li, Sharla Cheung, Chingmy Yau, and Gigi Lai. As the film performed poorly at the box office, the plans for a sequel were subsequently cancelled, and its cliffhanger ending was left unresolved. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
