I manage female characters in all the heavens.

The Dugu Nine Swords are certainly powerful, but they belong to someone else. If Linghu Chong can forge his own path, his future may be even brighter.

As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and gently touched Linghu Chong's forehead.

A surge of extremely pure internal energy flowed into Linghu Chong's body like a torrent!

Linghu Chong's body trembled violently. His true energy, which was originally only second-rate, surged to first-rate in a short period of time, then surged to the peak of first-rate, and finally stopped steadily at the level of a top master!

He opened his eyes, a complex light flashing within them: "Junior sister... what's wrong with you..."

"Alright, stop being so sentimental." Yue Lingshan waved her hand. "I hate all this fuss. If you really want to thank me, just use this sword technique to contribute to Mount Hua."

She turned around, put her hands behind her back, and walked towards the back mountain, leaving only one sentence floating in the wind:

"When you become famous, don't forget to tell the world that you owe your success to your junior sister's help."

Linghu Chong: "..."

He stood there, watching the green figure gradually disappear into the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

Then, he looked down at the longsword in his hand, and his previously somewhat confused gaze became firm.

He twirled his longsword and swung it again. As the sword light flowed, the sorrowful mood was even more refined and profound than before, as if countless past events and memories were immersed in it.

The most heart-wrenching sorrow is that of parting.

He clearly felt that the junior sister who should have belonged to him was gone forever, and there was no possibility of getting her back.

Only he himself understood this grief.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Huashan has undergone tremendous changes.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze both entered unprecedented realms. One became a peerless master with purple clouds surrounding him and the harmony of yin and yang, while the other became an unparalleled sword master with righteousness and a majestic aura.

Lu Xin, the only 15th-generation disciple of Mount Hua, has become an unparalleled master, with the power of wind and thunder in every move he makes.

Linghu Chong comprehended the Ecstasy Sword Intent, causing his power to surge to the level of a top master, enough to rival Zuo Lengchan.

Lu Dayou, Liang Fa, Shi Daizi and the other 12 disciples have also broken through to the level of first-class masters, and even the weakest one is enough to make a name for himself in the martial arts world.

The strength of the Huashan Sect has increased by more than tenfold; it has increased by dozens or even hundreds of times!

Even without including monsters like Yue Lingshan within the Huashan Sect, the Huashan Sect at this time was enough to dominate the entire martial arts world.

Standing atop Mount Hua, Yue Buqun gazed at the magnificent sunrise in the distance, his usually composed and dignified face now radiating an air of high spirits.

"Shan'er," he suddenly said, "leave the matter of the Five Mountains Alliance to me."

Yue Lingshan raised an eyebrow: "Oh."

Yue Buqun was immediately annoyed. Shan'er wasn't responding. How could he pretend to be cool?

Fortunately, he wasn't only accompanied by the immature "Yue Lingshan," but also by the very sensible Lin Pingzhi.

Because Yue Buqun had previously altered the letter that Lao Denuo sent to the Songshan Sect, Lin Pingzhi's entire family was prematurely wiped out by the Songshan Sect.

With just a flick of his finger, Master Yue wiped out the Fuwei Escort Agency before the Qingcheng Sect could even get a chance to participate. That's the power of the mastermind behind it all.

Lin Pingzhi narrowly escaped death and spent nearly three years begging his way from Fujian to Mount Hua, where he finally met Yue Buqun, who had just returned from the Sun Moon Sect, and begged him to help the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Yue Buqun certainly knew why the Songshan Sect destroyed the Fuwei Escort Agency. It was all because of a momentary lapse of judgment on his part. Now that he was powerful and his moral standards had returned, he felt a little guilty about it. So he took Lin Pingzhi as his disciple and promised to uphold justice for him after they won the battle.

Upon hearing Yue Buqun's words, Lin Pingzhi immediately seized the opportunity to sow discord among the Songshan Sect: "Master, the Songshan Sect's Grandmaster Zuo Lengchan will probably not agree to your merger with the sect."

Good, good disciple, that's a very good response!

"Zuo Lengchan?" Yue Buqun chuckled, turned around to look at him, a confident glint in his eyes. "Zuo Lengchan is nothing more than an ant that I can crush with a flick of my wrist."

"I plan to personally lead you disciples, starting with the Hengshan Sect, then the Hengshan Sect and the Taishan Sect, visiting them one by one, using courtesy before force, to subdue all these sects."

"Finally, go to the Songshan Sect and have a good talk with Zuo Lengchan. It's time to unite the Five Mountains Sword Sects."

"Didn't the Songshan Sect wipe out your Fuwei Escort Agency? Perfect, let's make them give us an explanation this time. If they don't, we'll destroy the Songshan Sect!"

Old Yue was full of vigor, talking about subduing and annihilating families at every turn, quite like Zuo Lengchan in his prime.

Yue Lingshan looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Alright, I'll leave the matter of the Five Mountains Alliance to you, Father. I trust your skills and fighting ability."

Yue Buqun nodded, turned and walked down the mountain to gather his disciples.

Since we're going back anyway, why come to this mountaintop to talk? Couldn't we just talk in the villa?

Does becoming a master mean you have to constantly project an air of superiority in this way?

Actually, if it weren't for the need to devour Ren Qianfan at Blackwood Cliff and seize the Crimson God Ring, the Sun Moon Cult could have simply sent Ning Zhongze with Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, and Lu Xin to handle the matter.

The martial arts level in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is even lower than that in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Only Dongfang Bubai and Feng Qingyang are peerless masters who can rival the Five Greats of the original world. Martial arts have declined significantly.

With her ability to easily create a large number of masters surpassing the Five Greats, even a small slip of her finger would be enough to make the Huashan Sect invincible.

Ning Zhongze, along with Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, and Lu Xin, was more than capable of dealing with the Sun Moon Cult.

As for Ren Qianfan, as long as Yue Lingshan doesn't enter his ten-kilometer range, he will only have twice the strength of Ren Woxing. At this time, Ning Zhongke can kill him in one move.

That morning, Yue Buqun led 13 disciples, including Linghu Chong and Lu Dayou, down the mountain to embark on a journey to subdue the Four Mountains.

Meanwhile, Yue Lingshan, carrying Dongfang Bubai, took off and flew towards Blackwood Cliff.

"Hold on tight, don't fall." Yue Lingshan reached out and wrapped her arms around Dongfang Bubai's waist, pulling her into her embrace. Then, a spiraling aura rose into the air!

Dongfang Bubai felt his body lighten and was lifted into the sky. The Mount Hua beneath his feet shrank rapidly and turned into a green background.

She instinctively reached out and hugged Yue Lingshan's waist, leaning against her and feeling the air rushing towards her and the mountains and rivers below her feet growing smaller and smaller. Her eyes widened slightly involuntarily.

Having roamed the world for many years, she never imagined that one day she would be appreciating the earth from a thousand meters in the air in this way.

"How does it feel to soar through the sky?" Yue Lingshan looked down at her and asked with a smile.

"It's alright." Dongfang Bubai tried to remain calm, but the hand around her waist tightened unconsciously. "We flew a bit too high, it's a little cold."

"You can only see far if you fly high," Yue Lingshan chuckled. "If you're cold, just hug me tight and let me warm you up with my body heat!"

Dongfang Bubai rolled her eyes at her, but did not let go of her hand. She simply rested her head gently on her shoulder and closed her eyes.

On Blackwood Cliff, she had been openly and secretly fighting with "Yue Lingshan" for so long that they were old enemies, but now they were getting along peacefully, which was quite rare.

Dongfang Bubai was a rare beauty. Yue Lingshan held her in her arms as they flew through the sky, enjoying the softness in her arms and the rich, fragrant scent. She was extremely relaxed and content.

Dongfang Bubai had become familiar with Yue Lingshan's embrace long ago when she was forced to practice martial arts and sleep with Yue Lingshan every day at Blackwood Cliff. She regarded Yue Lingshan as her best friend and did not mind some intimate actions.

She could only lament that just two years ago this guy had to take advantage of her vulnerability to bully her, but now he could bully her whenever he wanted, and she had absolutely no power to fight back.

The world is changing too fast; she simply can't understand it.

The mountains and rivers on the ground rushed past.

In less than half an hour, the towering black peaks of Blackwood Cliff came into view at the edge of the horizon.

Yue Lingshan's gaze sharpened, and a playful smile appeared on her lips: "We're almost there."

Her speed suddenly increased, and she rushed towards Blackwood Cliff like a shooting star!

Blackwood Cliff, the main altar of the Sun Moon Cult, inside the main hall.

Ren Qianfan sat high on the sect leader's throne, his hand supporting his chin, listening to Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian arguing endlessly with his faction about the appointment of a hall master.

He didn't actually care about these trivial matters.

The reason he kept Yingying and Xiang Wentian in the cult was simply because he needed an "opponent" to spice up his boring daily life.

After all, managing the Sun Moon Cult was not an interesting job, and he didn't even care about this force that he would eventually abandon in the future.

But he was very interested in teasing Ren Yingying, the female protagonist of the original novel.

Watching Ren Yingying, Xiang Wentian, and the elders argue heatedly over trivial matters, he found it quite amusing.

It's like watching a group of clowns perform, which occasionally brings him some pleasure.

However, at this very moment—

The smile on his face suddenly froze.

A vast and boundless power surged into his body without warning!

That power, like a surging river, with unstoppable force, rushed into his meridians, dantian, and all his limbs and bones!

His true energy surged dozens of times in that instant!

The power was so strong that he couldn't control it for a moment, and it burst out from his body!

boom--!!!

A loud bang!

The entire top of the hall was suddenly blown away by an invisible shockwave!

Golden sunlight streamed down from the broken roof, bathing everything in a golden glow within the hall.

Ren Qianfan, sitting on the throne of the sect leader, was exuding a terrifying pressure that was suffocating!

The cult leaders who were arguing suddenly felt an invisible, almost tangible pressure bearing down on them. Their bodies instantly lost control, and they were all slammed to the ground!

He couldn't even move a single finger!

Ren Yingying lay on the ground, struggling to lift her head and look at the figure sitting on the throne, her eyes filled with disbelief!

What...what is this?!

She had never felt such a terrifying aura before. It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her chest, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

Xiang Wentian was also lying on the ground, trembling all over, with veins bulging on his forehead, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He had roamed the martial world for decades and had never seen such terrifying power!

Is that something that humans can possess?

They are practically indistinguishable from gods and demons!

Ren Yingying gritted her teeth, the shock and despair surging in her heart almost consuming her.

The reason she chose to lead her team to announce her support for Ren Qianfan to become the leader was because she believed that Ren Qianfan would be easier to deal with than Dongfang Bubai.

She knew the weakness of the Star Absorbing Technique; she could subdue him in some way at a crucial moment and then take his place.

Ren Yingying's ambition is to first use Ren Qianfan's power to defeat Dongfang Bubai, and then find an opportunity to eliminate Ren Qianfan and seize control of the Divine Sect.

She never believed that Ren Qianfan was her brother, never trusted him, and knew that Ren Qianfan was definitely directly related to her father's death, so she always had a plan to kill him.
