Although they are all major sects in Jianghu, Master Jue Mie feels that there is a significant gap between herself and Shaolin, and even with Wudang.

Shaolin has four supreme secret skills as its foundation, and Wudang has Shaoyang Skill as well as Master Zhang who is creating Tai Chi Skills.

Only Emei’s martial arts are not as powerful. Even the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, the strongest cultivation reaches only the Melt God Realm, making it almost impossible to enter the Land Immortal Realm. This is the innate shortcoming of Emei, as even the founder Guo Xiang Heroine didn’t reach the Land Immortal Realm.

Unlike Wudang’s Master Sanfeng who directly attained the Land Immortal Realm.

Master Jue Mie’s expression wasn’t very good, but she was helpless. Ancestors have done their best, what they didn’t accomplish would rely on the efforts of their descendants.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kunlun Sect’s disciple Chang Xuzi and Tang Sect were wide-eyed, silently cheering for the Shaolin Abbot. "Abbot, you must work harder and avenge us!"

They were all defeated by Chen Jie, losing face. Now they could only rely on Shaolin to support them, each yelling fanatically, their voices becoming hoarse.

However, there was a group among them that seemed out of place. Indeed, it was the Five Mountains Sword Alliance, whose members didn’t particularly care about Chen Jie’s fate. Especially the few Vice Alliance Hierarchs in the alliance, each had their own calculations on their faces.

The Five Mountains Sword Alliance is not a single sect but a coalition of five sects, which includes the Five Mountains.

Taishan, Mount Heng, Huashan, Mount Song, Eternal Peak, formed together. Every five years, they select a location to elect the Five Mountains Alliance Leader, while the leaders of the other four sects can only be Vice Leaders.

And Zuo Buqun is the current term’s Five Mountains Alliance Leader, representing the Huashan Sect.

Therefore, after Zuo Buqun’s death, aside from some sadness among the Huashan’s members, other sect leaders felt only joy. After all, if Huashan’s Zuo Buqun hadn’t died, they wouldn’t have a chance to desire the Leader’s position. Even if they practiced martial arts diligently, it would take until the next election season, four to five years later, to become the leader.

Now that Zuo Buqun is dead, they can immediately convene the Five Mountains Meeting to re-elect a new leader—an excellent opportunity for power, who wouldn’t want to be the awe-inspiring Five Mountains Alliance Leader!

It’s truly a heaven-sent opportunity!

With each harboring ulterior motives, the Five Mountains Sword Alliance lacked solidarity compared to other sects.

At this time, the scene at the Wudang side had Song Yuanqiao furrowing his brow slightly, observing everything before him. Zhang CuiShan, a bit anxious, said, "Golden Bell Shield, this is the Golden Bell Shield transmitted by Dharma Ancestor back then!"

Yin Liting chimed in, "It should be, just by looking you can tell. This is definitely not what Jianghu charlatans talk about as the Golden Bell Shield."

Indeed, there are many types of Golden Bell Shields, and one is the authentic Shaolin Golden Bell Shield, a top-tier cultivation technique in Jianghu, capable of reaching the Land Immortal Realm.

And then there’s the Jianghu charlatan’s Golden Bell Shield, which is also derived from Shaolin, but usually has only the first three levels.

This level of Golden Bell Shield is for Jianghu performers, just a trick to perform Golden Spear Throat Lock and the like.

But the genuine Shaolin Golden Bell Shield’s power is terrifyingly strong, managing to even block Chen Jiusi’s formidable Kanglong Youhui. Let’s not forget, Kanglong Youhui is the strongest strike among the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, known for its aggressiveness. However, when it landed on Master Kong Wen’s Golden Bell Shield, not even a dent was made in its defense—it’s extraordinary. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Zhang CuiShan couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

Yin Liting added, "The Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms with its bold openness is famous for its aggressive dominance, while the Golden Bell Shield is renowned for its powerful defensive prowess worldwide. Their confrontation is truly a match of equals, skilled combatants meeting each other—it’s something worth watching."

Mo Shenggu excitedly said, "Today is truly worthwhile, witnessing so many top-tier secret skills from Jianghu—it’s not a wasted trip!"

"I used to always hear Master say Jianghu is full of masters, but I didn’t believe it. Now seeing them, there are really many; previously I was somewhat narrow-minded!"

Mo Shenggu spoke, Wudang Sect viewed the battle between Shaolin and Chen Jie as entertainment.

The most conflicted group was the Divine Dragon Sect, and Lei Ming, holding fists tightly with nerves, initially thought Chen Jiusi’s strength would win the battle, especially against Master Kong Wen, despite his reputed name. Yet when he displayed Shaolin’s 72 Skills, such level of skill might deceive an outsider but definitely not them.

Shaolin’s 72 Skills, past the Molten Furnace Realm, struggles to keep up, aside from the Prajnaparamita Palm and Blossom Pinch Technique barely usable; the rest are not even worth mentioning.

Especially when Chen Jie utilized the Kanglong Youhui from the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, he practically had victory in hand. Who would’ve thought, at the critical moment, Master Kong Wen activated the Golden Bell Shield among the Shaolin Four Extremes.

As that sound of sacred resonance rang, Lei Ming’s heart sank to the bottom.

With a heavy expression, Lei Ming, despite his arrogance, wasn’t a fool. He realized the fearsome power of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms and knew even more the might of the Golden Bell Shield.
