When the long stick cut through the air, it even made a "whooshing" sound.
However, just as the long staff fell, it was discovered that the Southern Shaolin disciple with a black mole on his face was not attacking the Qinglong Society members opposite him. Instead, one end of the staff struck the head of a Shaolin disciple in front of him.
The powerful force and the true energy it contained caused the Shaolin disciple's head to explode like a smashed watermelon the moment the long staff fell.
After landing a successful blow, the Southern Shaolin disciple with a black mole on his face swung his long staff and struck another Shaolin disciple in the back, causing him to stagger and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Beside him, another disciple of the Southern Shaolin Temple stared wide-eyed in disbelief as his companion suddenly sprang into action.
"Zhikong, have you gone mad?"
But the next second, to the disbelief of the Shaolin disciples, the Shaolin disciple with a black mole on his face, known as Zhikong, grinned and pulled out a painted mask from his pocket, put it on, and tore his monk's robes to reveal the black clothes on his body.
At the same time, three disciples of the Southern Shaolin Temple rushed out quickly from beside the main hall on the mountaintop, wielding tiger-subduing staffs.
Upon seeing the masked members of the Azure Dragon Society fighting against the Southern Shaolin disciples, the two Southern Shaolin disciples at the front changed their expressions and immediately channeled their inner energy.
"Pfft, pfft!"
However, just as the three Southern Shaolin disciples were about to make their move, two sharp sounds rang out, and two daggers pierced the backs of two of the Southern Shaolin disciples.
Turning their heads, the two Southern Shaolin disciples discovered that the person who had suddenly attacked them was another Southern Shaolin disciple with whom they used to eat, live, and cultivate together.
As he pulled the dagger from the chests of the two Southern Shaolin disciples, the disciple holding the dagger quickly pulled out a painted face mask from his pocket, put it on, tore open his monk's robe, and rushed towards the other Southern Shaolin disciples.
The same thing is happening now in different places at this Southern Shaolin Temple.
Taking in the scene unfolding in the distance, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So many members of the Azure Dragon Society have infiltrated Shaolin Temple?"
In response to Xiao Zhao's question, Chu Qinghe slowly replied, "It's not surprising. After all, after the Azure Dragon Society was besieged a hundred years ago, it went from open to covert operations. With the Hundred Knowledge Hall as a cover, the methods of transmitting intelligence and information became easier and more convenient. With the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion paving the way, the Azure Dragon Society's infiltration naturally became much easier."
"Moreover, since the Azure Dragon Society dared to make a move against a top-tier force like the Southern Shaolin, it's likely that the Southern Shaolin has already infiltrated them completely."
At this point, Chu Qinghe paused slightly, then circulated his true energy to form a barrier around himself and the other women, including Qu Feiyan.
Noticing Chu Qinghe's actions, Qu Feiyan and the other women also remembered that there was still a Celestial Realm expert whose whereabouts were unknown.
After his true energy completely enveloped the group, preventing their conversation from being heard, Chu Qinghe continued, "In a hundred years, let alone the Southern Shaolin Temple, there must be many members of the Azure Dragon Society in the Yihua Palace and the Shenshui Palace as well."
Qu Feiyan asked in astonishment, "Weren't the disciples of Sister Yue's Yihua Palace and Shenshui Palace all recruited from outside? How could they be infiltrated by the Qinglong Society?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "There should be some, but probably very few, and the impact on Yihua Palace and Shenshui Palace will be minimal."
Although the disciples of Yihua Palace and Shenshui Palace were all orphans with good talent who were recruited from outside.
But over the course of a century, who can guarantee that among the orphans gathered, there weren't any who were already members of the Azure Dragon Society?
Moreover, life is full of disappointments, and as long as you lure them with benefits, appeal to their emotions, or threaten them with power, every faction will have some members joining the Azure Dragon Society, more or less.
However, the Yihua Palace and Shenshui Palace are special after all. Even if there are people from the Qinglong Society, they would not be infiltrated as severely as the Southern Shaolin Temple.
Furthermore, this is a matter of constant perseverance, and even the Azure Dragon Society cannot possibly be all-encompassing.
Otherwise, why would the Azure Dragon Society need to set up such a large-scale operation? In a few decades, the Azure Dragon Society would quietly gain complete control of the martial arts world in the Ming Dynasty.
Why take this risk?
Just as Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao, and Lin Shiyin were immersed in the scene of the battle between the two top forces, the Azure Dragon Society and the Southern Shaolin Temple, Shuimu Yinji suddenly transmitted her voice: "I don't know where Ren Tianxing has gone."
Chu Qinghe said, "Hmm! Let's ignore him for now and just watch the show."
As he spoke, feeling the strange sensation emanating from the mother worm in his palm, Chu Qinghe slightly turned his face to the right while glancing at a large tree three zhang away.
"Interesting. Did they specifically send a Celestial Realm expert here just to monitor us?"
After chuckling to himself, Chu Qinghe slowly withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance.
The chaotic battle involving over ten thousand people was even more spectacular than the previous siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects.
In terms of numbers, the Green Dragon Society is far fewer than the Southern Shaolin.
However, the Southern Shaolin Temple happens to conceal many members who actually belong to the Azure Dragon Society.
Coupled with the effects of the poison, the battle against the Azure Dragon Society was almost entirely one-sided.
According to Chu Qinghe's rough estimate, the number of Southern Shaolin disciples who have perished on the mountaintop is probably already over a thousand.
This efficiency is far superior to that of the six major sects when they attacked Bright Peak.
"Amitabha".
Just as Chu Qinghe and the others had walked across the nearly 100-zhang-long martial arts training ground on the mountaintop and were about to enter the Great Buddha Hall ahead, a deep and peaceful voice suddenly appeared in the sky above the top of Shaoshi Mountain.
