However, if someone were looking directly at Lianxing at this moment, they would notice that although Lianxing was looking straight ahead, she was clearly paying attention to the hand she and Chu Qinghe were holding out of the corner of her eye.

"So this is what it feels like to be held by my brother-in-law for the first time!"

At this moment, Lianxing felt a particularly strange sensation.

A tingling sensation filled her heart, and her heartbeat felt numb. Even though they were holding hands, Lianxing had a different feeling.

It was as if Chu Qinghe's hand was directly grasping Lianxing's heart.

"Last time I was hugged by my brother-in-law, today I was held in his hand, I wonder what I'll be doing with him next..."

If Qu Feiyan knew at this moment that Lianxing was holding Chu Qinghe's hand, but her focus wasn't on the battle between Meng Chixing and the Sweeper Monk in the distance, but rather on the feeling of Chu Qinghe holding her hand, Qu Feiyan would probably be so angry that she would grab Lianxing by the neck and scold her for wasting such a precious gift.

As time passed, the battle between Meng Chixing and the Sweeper Monk was beginning to unfold.

It should be noted that the Sweeper Monk's slight miscalculation in the previous battle allowed Meng Chixing to gain a slight advantage in the subsequent fight.

If it were someone else, the outcome might not be certain yet.

But the Sweeper Monk was facing Meng Chixing.

Taking advantage of their previous slight edge in the battle, they pressed on relentlessly, not giving the sweeping monk a chance to catch his breath.

Now, the Sweeping Monk has almost completely switched from offense to defense, retreating step by step.

This can be seen simply by observing that the battle between the two had already affected other poisoned monks who had collapsed on the ground, as well as some martial artists inside the shed.

Therefore, Pang Ban, Si Hanfei, Ba Shiba, and even Murong Longcheng, who were standing nearby, all showed delight upon noticing this scene.

In contrast, the monks at the Celestial Realm of the Northern Shaolin Temple looked increasingly solemn.

Upon seeing this, the monk Xuande, who had reached the perfected Heavenly Realm in the Northern Shaolin Temple, first glanced at Meng Chixing and the Sweeper Monk, and then at Murong Longcheng's side.

After pondering for a moment, Monk Xuande instantly activated his true essence and rushed towards Murong Longcheng.

Although, for Si Hanfei and Ba Shiba, Monk Xuande was only at the initial stage of the Celestial Realm, and had not yet condensed any of the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit, his strength was limited despite his power.

But how does Murong Longcheng's strength compare to that of Si Hanfei and Ba Shiba?

Naturally, by the time Murong Longcheng reacted, the monk Xuande had already moved in front of him, and a Buddha's hand, as if cast in ancient bronze, slapped directly at Murong Longcheng.

Sensing something was wrong, Murong Longcheng immediately activated the "Shifting Stars" technique to forcibly absorb the palm force of the monk Xuande into his body. Then, he raised his hand to absorb the energy and true essence contained in Xuande's palm and sent it back.

However, during the process of striking, Murong Longcheng couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

It's unclear whether the "Shifting Stars" technique failed to fully convert the power of Monk Xuande's palm strike due to the rushed execution, or whether Monk Xuande's palm strike exceeded the limit that "Shifting Stars" could withstand.

Seeing Xuande's actions, the other monks at the Celestial Realm of the Northern Shaolin Temple also reacted and set off together.

By now, the others had clearly realized what was happening.

At this moment, the Sweeping Monk showed signs of defeat when facing Meng Chixing.

If this continues, once the Sweeper Monk is defeated, the Northern Shaolin Temple will face annihilation.

Naturally, in such a situation, it would be foolish to stand by and do nothing.

Seeing Pang Ban and Si Hanfei, the three of them, including Ba Shiba, also used their true energy to rush towards Murong Longcheng.

The remaining four Shaolin Celestial Realm experts simultaneously unleashed their strongest true essence techniques, rushing towards Meng Chixing and forcibly blocking Pang Ban and his group.

Without the support of Pang Ban and others, how could Murong Longcheng face the Xuande monk, who was at the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, all by himself?

Not to mention that Murong Longcheng is currently injured.

Therefore, in less than ten breaths, Murong Longcheng was struck in the chest by the monk Xuande and sent flying backward, his expression instantly becoming listless as he fell to the ground.

As Murong Longcheng fell to the ground, Monk Xuande did not hesitate at all. He flashed in front of Murong Longcheng and struck him directly in the face with a palm, burying Murong Longcheng's head into the soil.

He was ruthless and showed no resemblance to a Buddhist disciple whatsoever.

After dealing with Murong Longcheng, the monk Xuande quickly looked at the masked man in black, his eyes flashing with malice, and said, "Originally, this humble monk wanted to recruit you and another martial artist at the late Grandmaster level into my Shaolin Temple, so that my Shaolin Temple could have two more experts at the Celestial Realm in the future. That's why I tolerated you two hiding in the Sutra Pavilion for the past few decades. But I never expected that you two were wolves in sheep's clothing and were actually people from the Great Yuan Kingdom. Today, I cannot let you live."

After saying that, Monk Xuande instantly moved in front of Murong Bo and slapped him hard on the top of his head.

Taking in the situation, Chu Qinghe, who was in the distance, suddenly rolled his eyes.

"Well, the poison was wasted."

Then, Chu Qinghe glanced at Murong Longcheng, who was lying on the ground, heavily injured and unable to move, and then at Murong Bo, who was bleeding profusely and dead. He shook his head gently.

Risk and opportunity are always complementary.

Unfortunately, even without Chu Qinghe's participation, and without Murong Longcheng and Murong Bo, it was all over.

Relying solely on Murong Fu, whose martial arts skills are flashy but impractical, the Murong family's dream of restoring their kingdom is destined to fail.

Subsequently, after Murong Bo was killed, the monk Xuande didn't even bother to pay attention to the monk Xuanci.

Seeing that the monk Xuande had ignored him, the monk Xuanci on the ground showed obvious disappointment on his face.

After taking in the look of disappointment on the face of the monk Xuanci, Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow as if he had thought of something.

As his thoughts raced, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Zhao Min.

Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly as he took in Zhao Min's composed expression.

"This woman is quite cunning."

Sure enough, the next second, under Chu Qinghe's watchful eye, when the monk Xuande joined the battle to besiege Pang Ban and the others, the monk Xuanci on the ground suddenly got up.
