I manage female characters in all the heavens.

For her, this meant an improvement in her cultivation level in the Mingyu Gong, and she was rapidly advancing towards the sixth level.

If borrowing someone else's Sunflower True Qi is so effective, wouldn't it be equivalent to obtaining a Jade Accelerator that runs 24 hours a day if she could master it herself?

Without hesitation, she activated the Sunflower Manual, circulating her Mingyu True Qi according to its circuitry, attempting to exploit a bug.

The Mingyu True Qi has a terrifying effect on suppressing emotions, while the Sunflower Manual is equally effective at mobilizing emotions. If the two are combined, is it possible that their effects will cancel each other out, allowing the Mingyu Skill to advance by leaps and bounds while also mastering the Sunflower Manual and gaining high-speed characteristics?

Swish!

In an instant, a violent cold current erupted from Yue Lingshan's body, almost freezing her instantly.

Dongfang Bubai, who was lying next to her, sensed something was wrong and rolled off the bed, avoiding the cold air.

Once the commotion subsided, Dongfang Bubai stood up, looked at the girl on the bed shivering from the cold, her lips turning purple, and said helplessly:

"The effect of the Sunflower Manual is not to generate desire, but rather to amplify it. The masculine true qi itself has the effect of stimulating desire, but under the influence of the Sunflower Manual, it is amplified a thousand times, which is why it creates the effect of generating desire once one practices it."

"And you cultivate Yin-cold attribute true qi, which is operated using the Sunflower Manual, so the Yin-cold characteristic is naturally amplified."

"Your martial art is already chilling to the bone; if you amplify it a thousandfold, it will naturally cause big problems."

In the past, Yue Lingshan would definitely be trembling with fear and condemning Dongfang Bubai for not saying this sooner.

But now, the effects of Mingyu's true energy, a thousand times stronger, raged for a moment, almost freezing her body and also freezing her emotions to the extreme.

She lay trembling on the bed, trying to alleviate the frostbite on her body. Even though she was in excruciating pain from frostbite all over her body, her eyes remained indifferent, like a heartless machine, completely unaware of what condemnation meant.

What do I need from all things? What do I care about heaven and earth? I care about nothing anymore.

I am just a ruthless training machine, please do not disturb my training.

Dongfang Bubai: "..."

She's not as cute as the talkative Xiao Qu.

Suddenly, Yue Lingshan sat up abruptly, pulled Dongfang Bubai onto the bed, and poured all her true energy into Dongfang Bubai's body, filling her completely. She then forcibly clashed with the Sunflower True Energy, using Dongfang Bubai to enhance her cultivation.

"You, you let me go! I'm not your training tool!" Dongfang Bubai was furious. Damn Xiao Qu, I am your leader! This is so disrespectful!

It's just helping you practice your skills. Let go of my hand, I'll move on my own!

But the current "Yue Lingshan" is just a ruthless cultivation machine. She uses Dongfang Bubai directly because she knows he is useful, without any emotional or sentimental constraints.

Respect? What is that? I have no idea.

Much later, someone knocked on the door, and "Yue Lingshan" walked out of the sect leader's bedroom with a cold expression.

Yue Buqun, dressed in a black robe and wearing an iron mask, walked over: "All the medicines that can enhance your skills have been prepared and placed in your room. You can use them anytime..."

A cold, indifferent gaze fell upon him, and Yue Buqun was startled, feeling a sense of panic and helplessness.

What, what's wrong? Did Daddy do something wrong? Shan'er, tell me, and Daddy will change immediately!

"Move all the medicine to the sect leader's palace. I'll live here from now on."

My own room can't compare to the sect leader's palace. Here, with Dongfang Bubai as a training accelerator, it's more effective than any elixir. From the perspective of maximizing benefits, I have to stay here.

"Huh?" Yue Buqun was taken aback.

Shan'er, it's already gone too far for us to control the religious administration in Blackwood Cliff, manipulate things, form cliques, act arrogantly, and enrich ourselves at the expense of the public. And now you want to sleep with the leader?

Even I think you've gone too far.

It's enough for our Yue family to have a good reputation in history; we absolutely don't want to be infamous for eternity. You should stop now, Shan'er!

At this moment, a subordinate came to report:

"Reporting to the Vice Leader, the Ghost Head Sect of Cangzhou, the Black Tiger Gang of Dingzhou, and the Xu Family of Linqing, three peripheral forces of the Divine Sect, claim that you have placed the Leader under house arrest, seized control of the sect's administration, and created chaos within the sect. They have already become disloyal and have declared their intention to leave the Divine Sect!"

Yue Buqun was startled, thinking that this day had come so quickly, and wondered how Shan'er would handle it.

He had actually anticipated this situation. With a new leader in charge of the cult, the previously divided benefits would naturally need to be redistributed. Some people would inevitably end up with less or no benefits, which would certainly cause trouble.

They claim to be rebelling, but in reality, they're just making a fuss. They only need to offer some benefits to appease them, and the rebellion will naturally subside.

He figured that Shan'er would understand all this and would choose to comfort her.

However, it was completely different from what he had expected.

Upon hearing the news, Yue Lingshan didn't hesitate for a moment, simply replying with four words: "Not a single chicken or dog will be spared."

This was an extremely cold and ruthless order, meaning that at least a hundred members of the three martial arts factions would be wiped out. Everyone would die, not even chickens or dogs would survive. It was extremely cruel.

The subordinate who delivered the order trembled, knelt on one knee, hesitated, looked up at the vice leader, wanting to say a few words of comfort, "It really doesn't have to be this bad!"

But when he saw the vice-leader's cold, ruthless eyes, as dark as a deep black hole, he was speechless.

He realized that the so-called "demonic cult" was just a derogatory term used by the world to refer to a religious cult out of fear. But now, the real demon had taken over Blackwood Cliff, and from now on, the demonic cult would live up to its name.

No human could have such eyes; this could only be the work of a true demon!

"You obey the Vice Leader's command!"

The subordinate accepted the order and went to convey the vice-leader's decision.

Yue Buqun, however, was somewhat apprehensive and asked in a low voice, "Shan'er, are you alright?"

Yue Lingshan didn't look at him, put her hands behind her back, and turned to walk towards the sect leader's bedroom.

"I feel better than ever before. I see a new world and a new self."

"The past has not vanished, but it can no longer shake my heart. All the worldly affairs have passed before my eyes, but they cannot leave a trace in my soul."

"I am the heavens."

"The will of Heaven cannot be defied."

Bang!

The gates were closed, separating the palace from the outside world, like a gate to the heavens, lying between humans and gods, dividing heaven and earth.

Yue Buqun was stunned for a long time, then turned pale with horror. Oh no, Shan'er has gone mad with her cultivation!

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Yue Buqun was already waiting outside the sect leader's palace, looking worriedly at the tightly closed gate.

Last night, after delivering various medicines to the palace, he never went in again. He could only hear strange, chilling sounds coming from inside, along with the occasional pitiful screams of a woman. He had no idea what was happening inside.

I was anxious all night and arrived at the door early in the morning, eager to find out what was going on as soon as possible, but it was almost noon and the door still hadn't been opened.

In the past, Dongfang Bubai would have already opened the door to bask in the sunlight. She practiced martial arts diligently and never slept in.

But today, there has been no sound at all.

Thinking of the strange commotion last night, Yue Buqun was very worried. Could it be that Dongfang Bubai was tortured to death by Shan'er, who had gone mad with evil spirits?

The situation seemed extremely serious, and he was prepared to sacrifice himself to protect Yue Lingshan as they broke through Blackwood Cliff and escaped back to Mount Hua.

Not only him, but after receiving the vice leader's order to "leave no one alive" last night, the new high-ranking members of the cult also stayed up all night and came here early this morning to wait.

Some of them wanted to persuade the vice leader to retract his order, while others were simply eager to stir up trouble and wanted to add dozens more names to the vice leader's list of those to be exterminated.

Regardless of their purpose, no one dared to disturb the Vice Leader's sleep.

Everyone was subdued by the Vice Leader with a single blow. His fishing rod was so powerful that it swept away all resistance. Even if dozens of them tried together, they couldn't withstand a single cast. They simply didn't have the courage to disturb the Vice Leader's nap.

Finally, just before Yue Buqun's black robe was soaked with cold sweat, the door opened.

"Yue Lingshan" gently covered her mouth with one hand to yawn, and stretched lazily while holding the fishing rod with the other hand, making a cute sound as she slowly walked out.

Sunlight bathed her, making her green dress radiate with life and vitality. Combined with her lively and cheerful temperament, she didn't resemble a cruel and bloodthirsty demon lord at all, but rather a kind and righteous junior sister.

Yue Buqun felt somewhat relieved. It seemed that he had recovered from his qi deviation and that Dongfang Bubai should be safe. In that case, he wouldn't have to die either.

Seeing so many people waiting here, Yue Lingshan quickly realized why they had come.

“The Ghost Head Sect, the Black Tiger Gang, and the Xu Family of Linqing—these three families actually announced their withdrawal when I had just become the vice leader. Clearly, they didn’t take me, the leader, or the Divine Sect seriously.”

“It pains me to wipe them out, but if we don’t make an example of them, others will follow suit. I had no choice. Everyone, stop trying to persuade me. The important thing is to think about how to wipe them out completely and ensure that none of them escape.”

The moderates were immediately discouraged, and the vice-leader was determined; there was no need to persuade him further.

The radicals were overjoyed. "Great! The vice leader has only just taken office, yet he is already so ruthless and eager to eliminate dissidents. His methods are cruel and domineering. He leaves no one alive. He is truly a rare leader for our radicals!"

Newly appointed Vermilion Bird Hall Master Luo Xinglie, beaming with joy, stepped forward and spoke:

"Reporting to the Vice Master, as far as I know, there are far more than just these three peripheral forces dissatisfied with your rise to power. I am deeply grateful for your promotion, Vice Master, and have secretly conducted an investigation. The situation is truly shocking!"

"Not only are many peripheral forces showing signs of rebellion, but even many core members on Blackwood Cliff have an ambiguous attitude towards you, and their words are full of complaints."

"I have a list here, all of them are disloyal traitors I have recorded. I request that the Vice Master review it and severely punish these villains, exterminating their entire families!"

The radicals suppressed their joy and cast admiring glances at Luo Xinglie. As expected of you, you acted so quickly. If you can take this opportunity to eliminate some dissidents today, you, Luo Xinglie, will be credited!

Luo Xinglie took out a booklet. Goodness, it was a thick book; he wondered how many names it contained.

If they keep wiping out the sect, it's hard to say how many members will be left.

Yue Lingshan chuckled, completely unpretentious, and plopped down on the steps, waving to Luo Xinglie:

"Come here, Xiao Luo."

Luo Xinglie, a man in his fifties, was not ashamed to be called "Little Luo" by a teenage girl; on the contrary, he was proud. He ran over and knelt down, respectfully holding the roster high before the great vice-leader.

Yue Lingshan slapped Luo Xinglie across the face with such force that half of his face was mangled, and he flew dozens of meters away, crashing into the open ground where everyone was standing.

The roster flew into the air and was scattered by "Yue Lingshan" with her fishing rod. Dozens of papers flew precisely into the hands of everyone present, as if they had eyes.

"Look at each other, see if you're on the list or not. If you are, I'll allow you to join the operation to exterminate Luo Xinglie's entire family."

Soon, everyone knew all the names on the list. Unexpectedly, most of the people present were on the list, including more than a dozen high-ranking members of the radical faction.

The moderates were fine, as they had expected it, but the radicals were furious. "Damn it, Luo Xinglie, are you trying to use this opportunity to exclude us all?"

Those radicals who weren't on the list are the ones who are with Luo Xinglie!

As a result, the radical faction fell apart.

The subordinates were all chatting and laughing on the spot, and "Yue Lingshan" led Yue Buqun into the palace.

With just one glance, he saw Dongfang Bubai, who seemed extremely tired and was still fast asleep in bed.

"What is this?" he asked, his eyes looking somewhat strange.

Yue Lingshan waved her hand: "It's nothing. I practiced martial arts all night last night. It's a shame that Dongfang Bubai has the title of the best in the world. He can't even handle staying up all night. He's not as strong as me at all. He's a piece of trash."

You treated her like a tool all night, feeding her medicine while pouring in her icy Mingyu True Qi, which clashed with her fiery Sunflower True Qi, causing her to suffer from constant ice and fire. You enjoyed it and your cultivation increased rapidly, but she was just tormented. Her voice was hoarse from shouting and you didn't even slow down.

The fact that they managed to persevere without getting injured is enough to prove that their title of being the best in the world is absolutely genuine.
