"Eastern Invincible, what are you doing here?"
After Ping Yizhi finished the last thing on Blackwood Cliff, Ji Boyi gently took the unconscious Ren Yingying from his subordinate's hands and followed his sister into the "Chengde Hall."
"Subordinate has found out the whereabouts of the young miss. After a fierce battle with the Five Mountains Sword Sect, we finally managed to rescue the young miss."
After Eastern Invincible finished speaking, Ren Woxing, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, instantly opened his eyes, and the fierce aura made Ji Boyi's hair stand on end.
When he reacted, Ren Woxing, dressed in black, had already come to his side and snatched Ren Yingying away.
"Yingying, my Yingying, what's wrong with her?"
Seeing his daughter's pale face and her inability to wake up, Ren Woxing asked anxiously.
"Subordinate has already infused the young miss with several times of internal energy, but it has been ineffective."
It must be said that women are natural actors. Seeing Eastern Invincible's pained expression, Ji Boyi would have been deceived if he didn't know better.
"Truly a waste."
Ren Woxing cursed loudly, turned around, and placed Ren Yingying on the platform. He sat cross-legged and began to channel his internal energy to her, disregarding his own injuries.
Seeing this, Ji Boyi and Eastern Invincible exchanged a smile and instantly raised their internal energy to its peak.
As the leader of the Sun Moon Cult, Ren Woxing possessed the "Absorbing Star Technique," making his internal energy the deepest in the world. In just a moment, the previously restrained Ren Yingying began to regain consciousness.
"Father, Mother..."
When Ren Yingying murmured these two words, Ren Woxing, overjoyed, again channeled his internal energy, hoping to wake his only blood relative.
But at that moment, several different internal energies began to surge within him. If he withdrew his hands now, he could still suppress the backlash with his own profound true qi.
However, whether he was willing or not, it was too late for him to withdraw his hands now.
"Attack!"
Ji Boyi and Eastern Invincible, without any communication, attacked simultaneously.
After practicing the "Evil-Exorcising Sword Manual," Eastern Invincible's speed was unparalleled. In a flash, he was behind Ren Woxing, pointing his sword finger at the Yuzhen acupoint on the back of Ren Woxing's head.
"Roar!"
Suddenly struck, Ren Woxing's already surging internal energy exploded, plunging him into a dire situation.
However, Eastern Invincible was also forced back by Ren Woxing's true qi. At that moment, Ji Boyi extended his white, jade-like right palm and pressed it on Ren Woxing's crown as he turned his head.
If an ordinary martial arts expert had received this blow, they would have died with their brains exploding.
A highly yin internal energy was sent into Ren Woxing's head by Ji Boyi, determined to end his life.
But at that moment, Ren Woxing's true qi, stimulated, erupted to protect him, forcing Ji Boyi back. In his madness, Ren Woxing instinctively punched at the throat of the person in front of him.
Frowning, Ji Boyi swung his left palm in a circle, transforming his internal energy into several layers of dense, flexible qi walls, faintly resembling a Tai Chi pattern.
If Chong Xu had seen this, he would have been greatly surprised. This Wudang Cotton Palm had reached the realm of Wu Wei and Jing Xu. Even in the entire Wudang Sect, even the most skilled in Cotton Palm, Chong Danzi, did not have this level of mastery.
Ren Woxing's furious punch was blocked by Ji Boyi's left palm. After breaking through seven layers of dense qi walls, it had no more strength, and Ji Boyi took the opportunity to retreat.
"Brother Lian, are you alright?"
Seeing Ji Boyi take a direct blow from Ren Woxing's palm, Eastern Invincible asked worriedly, causing some subordinates who didn't know her true identity to have strange thoughts.
"I'm fine, just a pity."
Although Ji Boyi's words were not clear, Eastern Invincible understood his meaning.
At that moment, Tong Bixiong, seeing the opportunity, commanded his subordinates to attack Ren Woxing and shouted loudly.
"The leader has gone mad, the leader has gone mad!"
It must be said that Ren Woxing's internal energy was indeed unparalleled. Even in a confused state, he instinctively killed seven skilled subordinates in an instant.
However, the situation was already decided. After suffering the backlash of his internal energy, the Sun Moon Cult no longer belonged to him.
"Brother Lian, let's go. Let everyone in the Sun Moon Cult see the leader's madness and the massacre."
Seeing that Ji Boyi was unharmed, Eastern Invincible smiled and led him out of the "Chengde Hall," while her subordinates began to notify the other elders and protectors.
As for the hidden Ren Yingying, the two did not even glance at her. After the coup, she would still be useful.
...
Under Eastern Invincible's calculations, the two most loyal elders to Ren Woxing, Qi and Wu, received the news a bit earlier.
When they came to stop Ren Woxing, they were killed in three moves by him in his rampage.
At that moment, Ji Boyi and Eastern Invincible had already gathered with the Sun Moon Cult's high-ranking officials and witnessed this scene.
"What should we do?"
Just as everyone was worried, Ren Woxing had already killed another elder. At this critical moment, Eastern Invincible stepped forward, playing the role of a hero.
"Although I am not talented, I do not wish for the Sun Moon Cult to self-destruct. I will take over, and you all will support me. If I die at the leader's hands, the Sun Moon Cult... will be yours."
With a righteous expression, Eastern Invincible moved like a ghost to Ren Woxing's front, forming a sword finger and pointing it at Ren Woxing's chest.
However, in his confused state, Ren Woxing's years of combat experience remained.
He blocked Eastern Invincible's sword finger with a palm and then countered with a punch. But Eastern Invincible had already moved like a ghost to his back, his lightness skill so swift and strange that Xiang Wentian and others were greatly surprised.
"Everyone, attack together, seal the leader's acupoints, and then have Ping Yizhi treat him later."
Seeing the varied expressions on everyone's faces, Ji Boyi gave a signal to Tong Bixiong, who then spoke, forcing Xiang Wentian and others to act.
Although Ji Boyi had already given the "Evil-Exorcising Sword Manual" to Eastern Invincible, internal energy required time to accumulate.
At this moment, even if they were unwilling, for the sake of the thousands of subordinates, they had to act against Ren Woxing.
As a direct subordinate of Eastern Invincible, Ji Boyi, Tong Bixiong, and other elders and hall masters attacked together. Xiang Wentian and Qu Yang had no choice but to join in.
If the Five Mountains Sword Sect had seen this battle, they would surely return to take advantage of the situation.
It must be said that Ren Woxing's cultivation was unparalleled in the Sun Moon Cult. As a master in the innate realm, only Eastern Invincible, who had also entered the innate realm, could face him directly.
Although Ji Boyi had comprehended the essence of the Cotton Palm, after exchanging six palms with Ren Woxing, his internal energy began to surge, and his meridians and organs started to ache.
However, at this moment, Ren Woxing was also at his limit. No one could win in such a siege.
When Eastern Invincible, under the cover of the others, sealed nine of Ren Woxing's acupoints, this internal conflict finally came to an end.
"The leader's mind is confused and will not recover soon. I suggest we find a healing sanctuary to send the leader to. When he recovers, he can return to handle the affairs of the cult."
"This, the cult cannot be without a leader for a day."
Xiang Wentian raised an objection.
"Deputy Leader Eastern used both wisdom and strength to save us. If not for Deputy Leader Eastern, who among us would be willing to take the leader's position?"
Ji Boyi deliberately misinterpreted Xiang Wentian's meaning, pushing the situation to its climax.
In the current Sun Moon Cult, no one had a higher reputation than Eastern Invincible.
However, there were still those who did not know their place.
"Wait, the succession of the leader should be discussed carefully. Moreover, the leader's madness is suspicious and should be thoroughly investigated."
When the Lu Elder of the Vermilion Bird Hall spoke, Ji Boyi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he struck a balanced Cotton Palm at his chest, shattering his internal organs.
Tong Bixiong waved his hand, and nearly a hundred archers suddenly appeared, aiming their weapons at everyone present.
This move of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, along with the arrows hanging in the air, made those who still had objections shut their mouths. No one was foolish enough to seek death at this critical moment.
"Since everyone loves me, I will take the position of leader."
In front of the mad Ren Woxing and the nearly a hundred dead bodies of the Sun Moon Cult, Ji Boyi watched his beautiful sister begin her path to dominating the martial world.
"The leader was injured in the battle with the Five Mountains Sword Sect, leading to the loss of control of his true qi and madness. This cannot be left unaddressed. After I ascend, I will lead everyone to seek justice from the Five Mountains Sword Sect."
On the highest peak of Blackwood Cliff, Eastern Invincible, dressed in splendid attire, said these words.
Beside her was Ji Boyi, wearing a tall hat and a purple robe, making him appear tall and handsome. The first thing Eastern Invincible did as leader was to promote him to the position of Grand Steward of the entire Sun Moon Cult.
If it were before, the subordinates would have been dissatisfied with Ji Boyi's young age and high position. However, his heroic act of taking six palms from Ren Woxing greatly increased his prestige in the Sun Moon Cult, so this appointment was accepted without objection.
"Brother Lian, you will lead the experts of the Wind and Thunder Hall to intercept the experts of the Mount Tai Sect."
"Yes."
Ji Boyi responded and signaled his subordinates to gather the people and prepare to set out.
"Left Envoy Xiang, you will intercept the experts of the Mount Hua Sect."
"Right Envoy Qu, the Mount Heng Sect is yours."
"Brother Tong, the Mount Heng Sect's old nuns should be easy for you to handle."
When Eastern Invincible said this, those mentioned stepped forward to accept their orders. This was to avenge Ren Woxing, and even Xiang Wentian and Qu Yang could not find any excuse to object. It was also in line with their intentions.
"Leader, who will handle the Mount Song Sect?"
However, Qu Yang asked this question without tact. Although the Five Mountains Sword Sect was famous in the martial world, in the eyes of the Sun Moon Cult, except for the Mount Song Sect, the others were like chickens and dogs.
Moreover, the Lingjiu Temple was next to the Mount Song Sect, and if things went badly, they would face the attack of the first major orthodox sect.
"Of course, I will handle it personally. Elders Mo and Du will stay in Blackwood Cliff, and the rest will go with me to meet the orthodox people of the martial world."
Although Eastern Invincible was a woman, her words were particularly resolute.
