The woman in purple grew angrier as she spoke, her face covered in frost, her hatred unabated as she said in a low voice, "The position of Sect Master is so high and mighty that even I, Duan Chenghong, dare not covet it. What gives a lowly maid like you the right to suddenly rise above me overnight?"
Ning Yuesu remained calm and spoke slowly, "Duan Chenghong, you might not believe it, but the old Sect Master chose to pass the position to me not only because she was very fond of me, but also because she thought that you and Zhuang Dao’e and the rest were all fools, selfish and incapable of great responsibility."
"Very well, very well!"
Duan Chenghong sneered repeatedly, her face full of murderous intent as she raised her palms and said coldly, "I may not be able to kill you, but don’t think you can get past me."
Ning Yuesu sighed and took out the Evil Yin Cone in an unhurried manner.
The Evil Yin Cone vibrated violently, emitting a brilliant cold light.
It floated up in the palm of Ning Yuesu, spinning nonstop.
"Eh, how come the Evil Yin Cone is in your hands?"
Duan Chenghong was taken aback and suddenly looked dumbfounded.
Ning Yuesu smiled slyly and fiercely summoned the Evil Yin Cone.
In an instant, the Evil Yin Cone burst forth, enveloping the sky in flying snow and turning into a rapidly swirling tornado, crushing everything in its path.
The bewildered Duan Chenghong was horrified beyond belief. The Evil Yin Cone was as fast as lightning; it was impossible for her to dodge it.
In a desperate attempt, she exerted all her strength to gather the Evil Yin Power in the palm of her hand and sprayed it out.
The Evil Yin Cone arrived in a flash, instantly scattering Duan Chenghong’s Hand Power, unstoppable in its fierce momentum.
The Evil Yin Cone penetrated Duan Chenghong’s withered chest, passing through and drawing a trail of blood which froze midair.
Wang Jinxiong and the others standing behind Duan Chenghong were too slow to react, getting swept by the chilling air of the Evil Yin Cone.
They instantly turned into ice sculptures, their expressions vividly preserved.
Duan Chenghong fell backwards, her frozen body shattering upon impact, scattering all over the ground.
Shortly after, a cold wind blew by, and Wang Jinxiong and the others also collapsed, shattering into icy fragments, not a single body left intact.
Fang Zhixing looked on with disdain, only casting a deep glance towards Ning Yuesu.
He had long speculated that Ning Yuesu was the Sect Master of the Extreme Yin Sect, but she had never openly admitted it.
Only at this moment, was it confirmed; she was indeed the Sect Master!
Ning Yuesu retrieved the Evil Yin Cone, but a faint trace of sorrow appeared in her eyes.
The Extreme Yin Sect had greatly weakened after this rebellion, with no good tidings in its future.
If hostile forces realized that the Extreme Yin Sect had weakened, another bloody storm was likely to arise.
Fang Zhixing read the situation and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, you’ll soon break through to the peak of the Nine Ox Realm, and I’ll be there with you through thick and thin."
"Hmm!" Ning Yuesu nodded her head, her mood lightening considerably.
The two of them rescued the boy and exited the Extreme Yin Restricted Area.
Meanwhile, Fan Zhenglun who was staying at Elder Du Daoying’s place was getting anxious.
Fang Zhixing had said he only needed to cultivate in the Yin Evil Land for three days.
As the fourth day was about to end, he still had not returned.
"Could something have happened?"
Fan Zhenglun grew suspicious, but then he reconsidered.
With Fang Zhixing’s terrifying combat power, who could possibly harm him?
At the same time, Du Daoying also grew suspicious.
The boy had gone to meet Fang Zhixing last night, but he had not returned for a night and a day.
Not long ago, Du Daoying had sent people to investigate the Extreme Yin Restricted Area, but they soon returned.
They reported to her that Elder Duan Chenghong had sealed off the entrance by the Sect Master’s orders, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving the area.
"Why would the Sect Master seal off the Restricted Area?"
Du Daoying was perplexed and could not figure out the reason, especially since the Sect Master was in seclusion there and she could not go ask for clarity.
Just then, three figures arrived together.
Du Daoying and Fan Zhenglun watched in amazement.
Fang Zhixing, Ning Yuesu, and the boy returned together.
The boy was a sorry sight, beaten to a pulp.
Du Daoying and Fan Zhenglun looked at each other, blinking in shock, and asked in astonishment, "Sect Master, what happened?"
Ning Yuesu sighed and explained everything.
Upon hearing her, the expressions of Du Daoying and the others changed dramatically, their hearts racing.
"Zhuang Dao’e colluding with Gongxi Xiong to stage a rebellion, they have the gall!"
Du Daoying was furious, but took a deep look at Fang Zhixing, feeling more rueful than angry.
She had fought openly and covertly with Zhuang Dao’e for a lifetime, foes as incompatible as fire and water.
She never expected that the enemy she couldn’t defeat in a lifetime would die so easily at Fang Zhixing’s hands.
Truth be told, she knew almost nothing about Fang Zhixing. If it hadn’t been for Fan Zhenglun’s introduction, she wouldn’t have noticed him at all.
Zhuang Dao’e was one thing, but even Gongxi Xiong was no match for him; how powerful could he be!
Who exactly was Fang Zhixing? It was mind-boggling, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
For his part, Fan Zhenglun was also deeply shocked, but remained composed.
He had witnessed Fang Zhixing kill You Buchou and others from the Fenghai Sect with his own eyes and was aware of his strength.
It was not hard to imagine that after reaching the pinnacle of the Nine Ox Realm, Fang Zhixing had become even more powerful, undoubtedly one of the top masters.
Apart from the royal House of Wang and the Four Major Families, it seemed unlikely that anyone could suppress him.
After a while, everyone sat down.
Ning Yuesu thought for a moment and said earnestly, "Zhuang Dao’e’s death is of little consequence, but Gongxi Xiong is different. The Gongxi Clan is deeply rooted and broadly connected through various marriages.
The news of Gongxi Xiong’s failure will surely cause a huge stir once it gets out."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
