Hong Mei ("Red Eyebrows"), abbot of the southern Shaolin Temple, died during this time and his position was passed onto Chi Thien Su, also known as Jee Sin.
Chu Long Tuyen refused to provide his real name for fear of retribution against his family and students, in case they survived.
There, Bak Mei slew the "invincible" Shaolin leader Chi Thien Su in single combat by breaking his neck.
While he is often portrayed as a traitor, Bak Mei's actions were undertaken (and by extension Fung Dou Dak's), including the destruction of the temple, with the intention of preventing harm to those who had chosen to follow him.
In their accounts, Fung was loyal to the Shaolin Temple; while it was burning, he saved the herbal medicine manuals and escaped through a secret tunnel.
