Three hours later, as Chu Qinghe and his companions' carriage gradually disappeared into the distance, the Azure Dragon Society members who had been on the mountaintop earlier began to move down the mountain in an orderly fashion, each carrying a wooden box.
One by one, heavy boxes were placed on a horse-drawn carriage that had been prepared at the foot of the mountain.
If a careful observer were here, they would surely notice that almost every member of the Azure Dragon Society now has bulging arms, a stark contrast to when they were atop Shaoshi Mountain.
Looking down from the obviously bulging collars, one could see ingots of gold, silver, and jewels.
In front of the mountain gate.
As his gaze fell upon the mountain path steps of Shaoshi Mountain, watching the Qinglong Society members busy carrying loads, the mocking voice of the early-stage Celestial Realm martial artist who had previously ambushed Monk Xuanjian slowly emanated from beneath his mask.
"Hey! Who would have thought that beneath the Southern Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository lies a treasure trove of gold and silver? Centuries of accumulation—it's no exaggeration to say the Southern Shaolin is richer than a nation, probably even more than the imperial treasury! No wonder your Azure Dragon Society has been keeping a close eye on the Southern Shaolin!"
The slightly aged voice of the man in black wearing a painted mask slowly rang out.
"For hundreds of years, the Southern Shaolin Temple has touted itself as the leading force in the martial arts world. Over these centuries, at least 30% of the undercurrents in the martial arts world have been orchestrated by the Southern Shaolin Temple. Otherwise, how could the Southern Shaolin Temple afford to support tens of thousands of disciples for their cultivation?"
After glancing at the chests of the Azure Dragon Society members carrying boxes in front of him, the man in the early stage of the Celestial Realm continued, "But you guys are really generous, actually ordering these subordinates to fill their pockets with money. These thousands of people, if each of them grabs a handful, it's probably worth tens of millions of taels of silver!"
The man in black said coldly, "Our Azure Dragon Society has always done things this way, rewarding those who have made contributions. Compared to your Tang Clan, we are much more at ease. How about it? Anyway, you betrayed the Tang Clan decades ago. Why not join our Azure Dragon Society completely? If you are willing, I can give you my position as the Dragon Leader."
Upon hearing this, the man in the early stage of the Celestial Realm narrowed his eyes behind the mask.
But a few breaths later, a slightly muffled voice rang out again from under the man's mask.
"Forget it, the Azure Dragon Society is too complicated. To this day, I haven't even seen the faces of any of the other leaders of the Azure Dragon Society. You're not being sincere at all."
As soon as the voice fell, the man in the early stage of the Celestial Realm spoke up: "However, speaking of all this, that other guy in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm that you were looking for hasn't shown up for half a day. Don't you want to go and look for him?"
The man in black spoke up, "This matter at Southern Shaolin Temple wasn't his mission to begin with, so what does his coming and going have to do with me?"
The man, who was at the early stage of the Human Realm, had a glint in his eyes and said, "Oh? Not his mission? Could it be that his mission was to protect those guys who were watching the show from the courtyard wall earlier?"
Then, before the man in black could speak, the man at the early stage of the Celestial Realm continued, "Interesting. For your Azure Dragon Society to need to send a mid-stage Celestial Realm expert to protect them, those people just now seem to be quite extraordinary!"
However, no sooner had the man in the early stage of the Celestial Realm finished speaking than the man in black rang out with a chilling voice.
"It's best not to inquire about things that aren't your business. Knowing too much will kill you."
As soon as the words fell, the man in black took a step and vanished in a flash.
Looking in the direction the man in black had left, the man at the early stage of the Celestial Realm said softly, "Interesting. The strongest of those guys was only at the late stage of the Grandmaster Realm. What is it about them that makes the Azure Dragon Society value them so much?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the man, who was at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, suddenly turned his head and glanced inside Shaoshi Mountain, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Before long, as boxes of gold and silver jewelry were carried away, the number of members of the Azure Dragon Society on the top of Shaoshi Mountain was dwindling.
Some members of the Green Dragon Society continuously splashed tung oil onto various buildings and the corpses on the ground.
Other members of the Azure Dragon Society leisurely lit fires around with torches.
However, at that very moment, in front of the main hall.
After splashing the tung oil, a member of the Azure Dragon Society, also wearing a painted face mask, quickly scanned the surroundings.
Once he was sure no one was around, he quickly moved to the front of the main hall and stopped in front of the corpses of Du'e, Du'jie, and Du'nan, who had just been killed by the early-stage Heavenly Human Realm expert.
After quickly squatting down, the Qinglong Society member swiftly raised his hand and pressed acupoints on the two people in front of him, Du'e and Du Jie.
The moment their mouths opened, he quickly stuffed a pill into their mouths.
"Cough cough cough..."
A few breaths later, Du'e and Dujie, who had been lifeless, suddenly started coughing violently.
Even his originally pale face regained some color, and he slowly opened his eyes.
However, just as the two opened their eyes, the masked members of the Azure Dragon Society quickly raised their hands and placed them on the tops of Du'e and Du Jie's heads.
With their true energy circulating, Du'e and Du Jie, who were not yet fully awake, instantly felt their power overflowing like a dam bursting.
Upon hearing this, Du'e on the left couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Absorb... Absorption Technique?"
However, the sound that came out was as faint as a mosquito's murmur, extremely quiet.
Only after Du'e and Du Jie's power and life force had completely dissipated did the masked member of the Azure Dragon Society continue to repeat the same actions towards Du Nan beside him.
