I manage female characters in all the heavens.

"It was initially certain, since everyone said that Yue Lingshan was the one who visited Liu Zhengfeng's house. However, we never actually met Yue Lingshan, and now that she has introduced herself as Qu Wuyi, her behavior certainly has the characteristics of a demonic sect. We can no longer be sure."

Zuo Lengchan summoned Lai Wen and questioned him:

"Tell me, what makes you think that Yue Lingshan from Huashan was a guest at Liu Zhengfeng's house that day?"

Lai Wen looked completely bewildered: "Everyone says it's Yue Lingshan..."

"Who are you all? Say your names."

Lai Wen was speechless, cold sweat dripping down his forehead: "This... the news coming from Liu Zhengfeng's family shouldn't be false, right?"

"Besides, to receive such hospitality from Liu Zhengfeng's family, she must be an important figure in the righteous path. Her gender, age, characteristics, and status all match up. There's no reason why she couldn't be Yue Lingshan!"

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly: "Then take a look. Do my gender, age, characteristics, and status match those of Dongfang Bubai? Am I Dongfang Bubai?"

Lai Wen looked up at Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan was also dressed in a deep red robe, his face imposing, his expression domineering and arrogant, with a transcendent and peerless air about him. He had more than a dozen top-notch experts under his command, and his aura was as vast as the sun soaring in the sky.

Dongfang Bubai and Zuo Lengchan were contemporaries, and both were always portrayed as imposing men.

If you didn't show your martial arts skills, it would be really hard to tell the difference between Dongfang Bubai, who was faking his gender, and Zuo Lengchan, who had shaved his beard.

Lai Wen had lost the ability to speak. He lowered his head again, his back soaked with cold sweat, feeling that his fate was hanging by a thread.

He actually believed that the sect leader could be Dongfang Bubai, which is a blasphemous crime deserving of death.

"Hmph!" Zuo Lengchan snorted again, no longer expecting Lai Wen to give him an answer.

He was certain that this was a misunderstanding; they weren't chasing Yue Lingshan at all, but Qu Wuyi from the Demonic Sect!

Liu Zhengfeng already had ties with the Demonic Sect, so it was only natural for him to warmly welcome the members of the Demonic Sect. But you, Lai, believe everything you hear, claiming every girl you see is Yue Lingshan, and spreading false information, which has led to today's disaster. You truly deserve to die!

"Because of your mistakes, Wan Daping and others were wiped out, and now it has caused a huge loss of manpower, material resources and financial resources for Songshan. More than a hundred disciples have been lost at the eighteen checkpoints."

"This is all your fault!"

Lai Wen suddenly looked up, realizing what Zuo Lengchan was about to do.

"The losses that Mount Song has suffered today are entirely due to your fault, Lai Wen. Your death is the only way to comfort the spirits of the martyrs of Mount Song in heaven!"

Zuo Lengchan's expression was serious. He took a step forward several feet and unleashed his Frosty Palm, which slammed into Lai Wen's chest as he tried to dodge.

Lai Wen flew out, passing over Zhong Zhen and the others, crashing into the entrance of the hall, rolling down the steps, and by the time he came to a stop, he was frozen into an ice sculpture, with no sign of life left.

This matter was personally assigned by the Left Sect Leader, and Lai Wen took on the responsibility single-handedly; it had nothing to do with anyone else.

We are all still loyal and capable members of the Songshan Sect. We should make good contributions to the sect in the future and take this as a warning.

Zhong Zhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief and vowed to unite more closely around Master Zuo from now on.

After dealing with the incident, Zuo Lengchan was once again filled with worry.

With the day when Yue Buqun needed to get the person drawing ever closer, they still hadn't received any news about Yue Lingshan, which was causing Zuo Lengchan great anxiety.

The thought of Yue Buqun unleashing a massacre on Mount Song in a few days made him restless.

After much deliberation, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to seek help from Fang Zheng of the Shaolin Temple next door.

Shaolin Temple is the pinnacle of the martial arts world. With Shaolin Temple upholding justice, he didn't believe Yue Buqun would really dare to commit mass killings.

Besides, even if it really happens, at worst he and Fang Zheng can join forces to take down Yue Buqun.

No matter how powerful Yue Buqun is, he can't possibly defeat him and Fang Zheng working together, right?

On Blackwood Cliff, with the help of two top masters, Qu Wuyi and Tianji Laoren, Dongfang Bubai regained control of the Demonic Sect without uttering a word.

After a friendly exchange, Xiang Wentian voluntarily relinquished his position as Right Envoy of Light, handing it over to the powerful Elder Tianji, and took over the vacant position of Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall.

Qu Wuyi also transformed into the vice leader of the Demonic Sect. While Dongfang Bubai was in seclusion cultivating and comprehending the ultimate principles of martial arts, he was in charge of being second only to the leader and acted arrogantly.

Qu Yang was still with Liu Zhengfeng and hadn't returned, but no one would forget his contributions to the Demonic Sect and the promise made by the Eastern Sect Leader. He was promoted remotely and became the Left Envoy of Light.

The Demonic Sect has entered a new era. The Vice Leader immediately issued a death warrant for Ren Qianfan, allowing him to enjoy the passion of the martial arts world.

That night, Yue Lingshan, who was using the alias Qu Wuyi to become the vice leader of the Demonic Sect, found Yue Buqun, who was using the alias Tianji Laoren to become the Right Envoy of Light, and gave him a secret manual.

"This is a fragment of the Nine Yin Manual, a peerless martial art, known as the general outline of all martial arts. Take it back and study it carefully, and you will surely make further progress."

Old Yue took the manual, without asking its origin, and simply asked, "If I learn this, will I be able to defeat Zuo Lengchan?"

Zuo Lengchan, a lifelong rival.

Yue Lingshan sneered: "To defeat a mere Zuo Lengchan, I don't even need the Nine Yin Manual. My expectation of you is to help me control Dongfang Bubai and completely bring the Demonic Sect under the control of my Huashan Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Yue's eyes immediately lit up.

My in-laws' ancestral graves are truly blessed to have produced such an extraordinary figure, daring to think and act, and utterly lawless.

Now not only is Mount Hua saved, but my Yue family will also be remembered in history!

This evil cult is doing a great job colluding! My son Lingshan has the potential to become the leader of the martial arts world!

Chapter 94: The Sixth Level of Bright Jade, Can Challenge the Number One Under Heaven!

At Blackwood Cliff, in the sect leader's bedroom, "Yue Lingshan" swaggered in, humming a song as she walked, as relaxed as if she were returning home.

"Master, I'm here to report on my work," she called out casually.

Dongfang Bubai sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly circulating his internal energy to regulate his breathing, soothing his internal injuries while also gradually expelling the metal particles of the Dragon-Locking Nails that had seeped into his meridians.

Previously, due to the urgency of the situation, she could only violently melt and shake out the Dragon-Locking Nails in an instant to kill people, so that some of the molten metal was incorporated into her meridians and evenly spread.

This did not strengthen her meridians like it was plated with metal; instead, it hardened them, hindering the flow of true qi, and causing her excruciating pain every time she practiced.

Regarding the internal injuries, after returning to Blackwood Cliff and receiving various precious medicines, they are no longer a problem and he will recover soon.

On the contrary, the metal particles in the meridians are very stubborn and cannot be forced. They can only be slowly and persistently treated. It may take several months to recover to their original state.

Similarly, her martial arts skills have not recovered to their peak level in the past few months.

She glanced at the vice leader who had sat down on his own bed, even taking off his shoes and crawling into his own blankets to lie down, and felt utterly helpless.

"You can say what you want to say while standing, why are you lying down?"

Yue Lingshan tossed and turned in the blanket for a couple of moments, then found a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and said peacefully:

"You are the boss, and I am the subordinate. A subordinate cannot be higher than his superior. Standing is too disrespectful, lying down is just right."

"I'm starting my report now?"

Dongfang Bubai silently gazed at the heavens, then stopped sitting cross-legged and lay down, shoulder to shoulder with the vice leader.

"Report it."

You know what, listening to reports like this has a unique flavor, giving off a sense of a tyrannical ruler indulging in extravagance and debauchery.

“I issued the highest-level kill order of the Divine Cult to Ren Qianfan. It’s difficult to kill him directly, but it’s enough to make him extremely anxious. He has to check for poison before eating every day.”

"At the same time, Ren Qianfan's whereabouts were also exposed. He was still in Anhui and hadn't even traveled halfway. It seems that his horse is far inferior to mine."

Regarding the issue of the horse, Dongfang Bubai did not comment, only stating that the vice leader's order to kill was justified.

"Our cult is currently facing a serious shortage of high-ranking positions. After discussion among everyone, and with a few suggestions of my own, we have come up with this new list of the four hall masters and ten elders, as well as corresponding personnel adjustments for the four halls. Please take a look, Master."

Dongfang Bubai took the list and tossed it aside without even looking at it.

"I trust the deputy head instructor to handle things. I won't even look at the list; I believe in you."

Whether you believe it or not is another matter, but this list is definitely not to be looked at; it's enough to know it will ruin your mood. Just don't even glance at it.

She had already received a complaint from Tong Baixiong, who said that the deputy head of the cult was being nepotistic, installing her own cronies in high positions and trying to win over various high-ranking members, making the cult a mess.

Although she didn't know which confidants the newly arrived vice leader of the cult had to place, whether it was true or not, she currently had no power to object and could only pretend not to know.

"I inspected the cult's treasury and found many treasures inside. Based on the principle that it would be a waste to leave them to gather dust, I took a few."

Dongfang Bubai nodded, even somewhat pleased. This is what you, as the vice leader who is second only to the leader, should be doing. What's the point of managing sect affairs? It's all about lording it over others and making a fortune!

The same rumor from Tong Baixiong claims that half of the cult's accumulated treasure trove has been emptied, with a large amount of non-renewable resources disappearing without a trace, and it is suspected that the vice-leader was responsible.

Dongfang Bubai said there was no doubt that the vice leader was doing serious business.

"I have no objection to you taking the treasure trove's resources. I only have one request: at least leave some behind, don't take everything."

Yue Lingshan was somewhat displeased: "Master, you are simply slandering me! The treasure vault is so large, with so many things, how could I possibly have emptied it? I only took a tiny fraction of it, and the treasure vault is perfectly fine. If you don't believe me, go and check!"

Dongfang Bubai refused to be inspected, fearing that the warehouse would be burned down that very night, leaving nothing behind.

"Finally, there is a personal matter I would like to ask the leader for help with." After giving her report, "Yue Lingshan" began to state the true purpose of her trip.

"Master, your Sunflower Manual is incredibly powerful and a rare skill in this world. I am very curious."

Dongfang Bubai was not surprised. Her invincibility through cultivating the Sunflower Manual was no secret in the martial arts world. It was perfectly normal to be curious about a divine skill that could create the best martial art in the world.

She was prepared for this.

Reaching under the pillow, a secret manual appeared in Dongfang Bubai's hand, which she casually tossed to "Yue Lingshan".

"Satisfy your curiosity."

This manual is not the one that the Demonic Sect stole from Mount Hua, but a version that Dongfang Bubai further improved after years of research. She recently took some time to hand-copy it, knowing that the Vice Sect Leader would ask about it.

Originally, the Sunflower Manual was hidden in the Putian Shaolin Temple. Two senior masters from Mount Hua accidentally found it when they visited the Putian Shaolin Temple. They immediately realized that it was an unparalleled martial art. Due to time constraints, the two decided to each memorize half of it and return to Mount Hua to compile it.

The result was probably a mismatch; the two parts were completely incompatible and impossible to cultivate, so they were left to gather dust on Mount Hua. Later, they were stolen during a demonic sect attack on the mountain and studied by the powerful members of the demonic sect, which led to some changes.

Ren Woxing later became the leader of the sect. After studying the Sunflower Manual, he also felt that it was extraordinary. However, he suffered from qi deviation as soon as he tried to practice it, so he could not master it himself. Therefore, he gave it to Dongfang Bubai, hoping that she would be distracted by studying the divine skill and ultimately fail to achieve anything, thus wasting her power and martial arts skills and being completely controlled by him.

As it turned out, Dongfang Bubai was a genius, seemingly born for the Sunflower Manual. In a short time, he completed the Sunflower Manual on his own, making it perfect, and it was probably no less impressive than the original version that was no longer available.

They disregarded the fact that extremely intense and masculine true energy could cause cultivators to have excessive desires, leading to qi deviation, and thus cultivated it into a form that was not suitable for them.

Generally speaking, only men have the opportunity to master the Sunflower Manual, because the problem of desire caused by the Sunflower True Qi can be suppressed by men through self-castration, while women do not have such convenient conditions.

However, Dongfang Bubai may have had a special constitution, being born with love but no desire. The Sunflower Manual could not arouse her desires at all, allowing her to ignore this flaw and successfully master the divine skill, even reaching the pinnacle of it. It was all a matter of timing and fate.

While listening to Dongfang Bubai tell stories, Yue Lingshan flipped through the Sunflower Manual and memorized it all in one go. With her profound martial arts knowledge and strong comprehension, she quickly and completely understood the Sunflower Manual.

Upon hearing that Dongfang Bubai was unaffected by desires, Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up. She felt that if Dongfang Bubai could do it, there was no reason why she couldn't.

She didn't think much of the power of the Sunflower Manual. If both were cultivated to the highest level, the Bright Jade Skill would be far superior to the Sunflower Manual, and she wouldn't abandon the fundamental for the trivial.

However, the Sunflower Manual's characteristic of arousing desires is a perfect match for the Bright Jade Skill, which requires intense emotions as its foundation!

When she was healing Dongfang Bubai, she discovered that Mingyu True Qi was enhanced and became more obedient after colliding with Sunflower True Qi, while the effect of freezing her own emotions was also decreasing.
