I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Who would have thought!

Xiang Wentian knelt to the side, trembling all over as well.

He understood Qu Wuyi's methods better than Ren Yingying did.

He had witnessed firsthand how Qu Wuyi effortlessly annihilated those who dared to defy him when he first took control of the Divine Sect.

Although Qu Wuyi was ruthless at that time, her strength was still within the realm of "human". Xiang Wentian felt that as long as he had enough strength and scheming, he might be able to deal with her.

But now...

He felt the terrifying pressure that permeated the world, and the last thought of resistance in his heart vanished.

This is not a matter of one level.

He betrayed a god!

Almost everyone present made the same choice at that moment—to unite around Ren Qianfan.

Only Ren Qianfan can stand against Qu Wuyi!

Only Ren Qianfan, who also unleashed a terrifying aura, could possibly save their lives from their former boss!

They struggled to their feet and stumbled toward the main hall, toward the figure standing in the center of the broken hall.

Yue Lingshan watched this scene without stopping it, but merely raised an eyebrow with interest.

Qu Yang did not move closer to Ren Qianfan, but walked towards her without hesitation, his steps firm and his gaze open.

Tong Baixiong also strode towards Dongfang Bubai, his weathered face showing no hesitation.

Yue Lingshan looked at them and nodded slightly.

Back in Hengyang, she wiped out the Songshan Sect's forces, which was tantamount to saving the lives of Qu Yang and his grandson, as well as Liu Zhengfeng's entire family. This kindness was enough for this principled old man to remember for a lifetime.

The two got along very well afterward, and she had a close relationship with Qu Feiyan, so Qu Yang's choice was not surprising.

Moreover, Qu Wuyi is Qu Yang's granddaughter. How could he, as her grandfather, stand against his granddaughter?

Tong Baixiong's loyalty to Dongfang Bubai was ingrained in his bones. Even if Dongfang Bubai lost power, was placed under house arrest, or was hunted down, he would not switch allegiance.

For him, within the entire Sun Moon Cult, he only recognized Dongfang Bubai; no one else could become the leader.

The reason they had previously submitted to Ren Qianfan was out of necessity, since they needed to survive. Now that their boss is back, they naturally have to stand firmly by his side.

Meanwhile, Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian's group did not move.

They were caught in a dilemma.

Ren Qianfan is indeed a wise ruler. He is ruthless, far-sighted, and trusts his subordinates. In just six months, he brought the Sun Moon Sect, which had been thrown into chaos by Qu Wuyi, back on track. Following him is definitely a promising path.

However—he has a blood feud with Ren Yingying for killing her father, and Xiang Wentian and Ren Woxing are like brothers, so this leader is also their enemy!

More importantly, Ren Qianfan knew that he had a grudge against them and would take action against them sooner or later.

Ren Yingying knew that her identity as "younger sister" was just a facade, and Ren Qianfan had never truly trusted her.

He kept them only because they still had value, and only to enjoy the thrill of playing cat and mouse.

But Qu Wuyi...

Ren Yingying raised her head and looked at the emerald green figure.

Qu Wuyi certainly cannot be considered a wise ruler. One moment he is so brilliant that it is outrageous, and the next he is so foolish that it incurs the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men. A wise ruler may not be wise, but he must never be fickle.

But she has a huge advantage: she has no grudge against herself or Xiang Wentian.

Ren Yingying's mind raced.

Now that the two great masters have gathered at Blackwood Cliff, it is clear that they intend to fight it out here and decide the fate of the Sun Moon Sect.

As a holy nun of the religion, she also had a group of loyal followers and felt that she had value in united front work.

She could choose to help Ren Qianfan.

If Ren Qianfan wins, her position as a loyal subject will be more secure. However, given Ren Qianfan's personality, there is a high probability that he will discard her once he has served his purpose.

She could also choose to help Qu Wuyi and rejoin her sisters.

But betrayal is betrayal. Given Qu Wuyi's personality, even if he doesn't kill her, he probably won't let her off easily.

How should we choose?

Ren Yingying felt as if she were standing on the edge of a cliff, and no matter which way she went, there was only an abyss ahead.

However, she was overthinking it; she had no choice at all.

Yue Lingshan's gaze was already locked on the figure in the main hall, and a bright smile appeared on her lips, as if she had seen something interesting.

"Ren Qianfan!" she called out loudly, her voice echoing throughout the entire Blackwood Cliff, "Come out, I want to thank you profusely!"

Thank you for sacrificing your life, thank you for giving me the Soul Ring, and thank you for giving me a legitimate reason to go on a killing spree!

Everyone was taken aback. "Huh? What are you going to do?"

Inside the main hall, Ren Qianfan finally moved.

He slowly stood up, walked out of the main hall step by step, and landed on the steps in front of the hall, facing "Yue Lingshan" in the square.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and tried his best to remain calm: "Qu Wuyi, no matter what you are thanking me for, there is no need to thank me. It is all what I should do."

"I just didn't expect you to come back, especially in this way."

"There are many things you haven't thought of yet."

Yue Lingshan grinned, and then—

Without any warning, she suddenly attacked!

He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and clenched it tightly in Ren Qianfan's direction!

A vast power surged forth from her body, like a torrent bursting its banks, and coalesced into a gigantic palm print in front of her!

The palm print was translucent, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light, while crimson flames danced within its palm, yin and yang flowing endlessly, ever-renewing.

Yin and Yang, cold and heat, life and death... The strength of Yang and the gentleness of Yin are perfectly combined in this palm, forming a terrifying aura that seems capable of obliterating everything!

The Six Ultimate Skills - Nine Nether Seal!

He starts with a powerful move!

The moment the palm print appeared, everyone around felt a shiver that came from the depths of their souls.

It wasn't fear, but an instinctive premonition, as if this palm strike contained a power that could drag their souls into the deepest hell!

Ren Qianfan's expression changed drastically in that instant!

He felt an unparalleled aura from that palm strike!

Don't try to take it head-on!

Without hesitation, he fully activated the power he had shared with "Yue Lingshan," and his body floated backward like a falling leaf, narrowly avoiding the impact of the giant palm print!

boom--!!!

A deafening roar!

The palm print slammed heavily into a side hall behind the main hall!

That side hall—a building that was four or five zhang tall and made entirely of bluestone and giant wood—was as fragile as paper in front of that palm print, and was instantly blasted into dust!

There were no broken stones, no broken wood, no smoke or dust—that side hall had been ground into powder finer than flour by a terrifying force!

The powerful palm strike landed on Blackwood Cliff, instantly reducing a palace to dust and leaving a perfect palm print three zhang long and one zhang deep on the ground!

The handprint was clearly defined, with every finger meticulously depicted, as if it had been molded from the earth by a giant!

The immense palm force exploded upon landing, unleashing boundless gusts of wind that transformed into invisible shockwaves that roared and spread in all directions!

Those members of the demonic cult who were closer were caught in the shockwave.

Whether they were third-rate characters with low martial arts skills or first-rate masters who roamed the martial arts world, all of them were crushed into a pile of minced meat the moment they came into contact with that shockwave, as if their bodies were being crushed by an invisible giant hand!

There were no screams, no struggles; the strong and the weak were indistinguishable under this force.

Whether they were top-tier experts or even third-rate lackeys, they all suffered the same fate under the aftershock of this palm strike: they all died instantly, leaving no trace of their bodies!

With a single palm strike, dozens of members of the Demonic Sect were reduced to ashes!

The entire square was deathly silent.

Those members of the demonic cult who had narrowly escaped death stared blankly at the enormous palm print, at the scattered flesh and blood around them, their mouths agape, yet they could not utter a sound.

Ren Yingying knelt on the ground, trembling all over, staring at the huge palm print, her face deathly pale.

She finally realized how ridiculous her earlier thoughts about "choices" were.

Faced with such power, what right did she have to choose?

She didn't even deserve to be wiped by that slap!

Xiang Wentian was also deathly pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his clenched fists were trembling.

He had roamed the martial arts world for decades and had seen countless masters, but he had never seen such terrifying power.

If this palm strike were to land in a densely populated area, thousands of people would likely be killed instantly!

Ren Qianfan stood on the steps, staring at the huge palm print. His pupils contracted slightly, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Although he avoided a direct confrontation, the airflow generated by the palm print as it passed still made him feel its destructive power.

He had no doubt that if he had chosen to take the blow head-on, even with the protection of the shared, tremendous power, he would likely have been seriously injured!

This song of forgetfulness... what kind of monster is it?!

"Yue Lingshan" did not give him any chance to catch his breath.

Her palm missed its mark, but without pausing, she blurred into a streak of emerald green and instantly appeared before Ren Qianfan!

I'm only putting in 30% effort, because I'm afraid I might kill Ren Qianfan in one go.

This punch looked ordinary, without any fancy techniques, just a simple straight punch.

But Ren Qianfan felt that the power of this punch was still terrifying!

He felt a chill run down his spine and dared not be careless. He drew upon a portion of the power he had received from the shared source and threw a punch to meet the attack!

boom--!!!
