When the Ming Cult visited the Shaolin Temple shortly after the Battle of Gwong Ming Peak and the appointment of Cheung Mo Gei has the new Cult Leader, it found that Shaolin was abandoned and had been vandalized by unknown entities (Chiu Mun's mercenaries) in the cult's name. But why was Shaolin abandoned? Not all of the Shaolin monks went on the mission to assault Gwong Ming Peak, and subsequently, not all of them were kidnapped by Chiu Mun's people. What's even stranger is that a little later, there were monks at Shaolin again (this was while the Chief Abbot and Hung Tze were still Chiu Mun's prisoners). Where did the Shaolin monks disappear to when the Ming Cult came visiting?
