In fact, Ren Woxing did have the intention to take action. He had already made up his mind to catch all the righteous masters in one fell swoop, and planned to take action after the wedding banquet.
That's why he was so talkative when discussing with Zhengdao, suppressed his temper, and almost never responded to anything, just to show his kindness to Zhengdao and eliminate their wariness.
At the wedding banquet, Ren Woxing watched his daughter get married, and thought that his great cause of unifying the world was about to be completed. He was so happy that he drank a few more glasses of wine.
But he didn't expect that when he relaxed for a moment, he couldn't suppress the internal force that was already ready to move in his body, and it was backfired, and he died. However, it was fate.
Ren Woxing is already old, and he has suffered under the West Lake for more than ten years. In recent years, he has used very overbearing internal energy to forcibly remove the alien energy from his body, which has really consumed a lot of his energy. This time, a lot of effort was spent on arranging to kill the righteous masters. This is the end of life.
Everyone in the Sun Moon God Sect only thought that he was happy because his daughter was getting married. In addition, he was already old, but they were not surprised.
Even people like Xiang Wentian who knew the inside story, but Ren Woxing had just passed away at this time, the Sun Moon Divine Sect was prone to civil strife at this time, and they wanted to ease their relationship with Zhengdao, but there was nothing much to say. Lest the right path gather together and destroy the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Since Ren Woxing is dead, it is natural to elect the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect. Everyone unanimously elected Linghu Chong to take over as the leader.
Shangguan Yun said loudly: "Master Ren has always been interested in Young Master Linghu, and he has long wanted to pass on the throne. It was only because Linghu Chong was the leader of the Hengshan Sect that he gave up. Now that Linghu Chong has married the holy aunt Ren Yingying, they are a family. Man. In charge of the Sun-Moon God Sect, who else but Mr. Linghu can convince everyone."
However, Linghu Chong still refused to accept the offer and declined: "I have no virtue or ability to dare to take on such a big responsibility. Besides, I am not a member of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, let alone join the Divine Sect."
Everyone had no choice but to retreat and settle for the next best thing. Bao Dachu recommended the holy aunt Ren Yingying to succeed him as the leader. In fact, this is also a good choice, very suitable regardless of status. Ren Yingying was originally the holy aunt of the Sun and Moon Sect. She had a high status in the Sun and Moon Sect. She was also the daughter of the former leader, so it was appropriate for her to take over the throne now. Originally, his strength was lacking, but now, with the help of his husband, Linghu Chong, he no longer has to worry about insufficient force.
It's just that Ren Yingying is now married, but she only focuses on her husband Linghu Chong. Even though he was deeply saddened by his father's death, at this critical moment, he still cheered up and said: "The position of the leader still needs to be considered. You should go and attend to my father's funeral first."
Everyone understood that there was something to discuss in secret, most likely the matter of succeeding the leader, but they were happy to withdraw. After all, now, this couple is the most powerful and has high prestige, so the position of leader will most likely fall to them. Ren Yingying was either the successor to the leader, or the leader's wife. Regardless of her status, they couldn't be offended, so they all quit.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Ren Yingying threw herself into Linghu Chong's arms and vented her sadness, which wetted Linghu Chong's clothes in the blink of an eye.
Linghu Chong's eyes filled with tears when he saw this. He had no other thoughts, so he hurriedly comforted and persuaded. After her mood eased slightly, Ren Yingying said, "Brother Chong, what do you think of the position of leader?"
Linghu Chong said: "Whoever wants to be a scapegoat, I don't deserve it anyway. Yingying, when my father-in-law's funeral is completed, let's find a place to live in seclusion. Green Bamboo Alley is already known to the world, and it is inevitable that we will be secluded here. Excuse me, why not find a place with beautiful scenery. When I went to West Lake Meizhuang with my elder brother Xiang, we saw the beautiful scenery beside the West Lake and made up our minds to settle there. Yingying, let’s go to the West Lake to live in seclusion. We play the piano and flute every day, isn’t it beautiful?”
Linghu Chong, on the other hand, had already planned his married life. He just wanted to ignore worldly affairs and just be happy with his lover.
Although Ren Yingying is also a lover, she grew up in the Sun Moon God Sect since she was a child. She is not as naive as Linghu Chong. She deeply understands that "people cannot help themselves in the world", and it is not easy to retire. If the leader's succession cannot be properly handled, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Then he said to Linghu Chong: "Brother Chong, have you thought about the future of the world?"
Linghu Chong said: "Didn't the two factions of good and evil shake hands and make peace? After that, there will be peace in the world, so I want to live in seclusion."
"Brother Chong, think again." Ren Yingying said meaningfully.
"Alas..." A long sigh, in fact, Linghu Chong may not understand, he is just escaping, there are some things he doesn't want to think about.
At the beginning, we were allowed to negotiate with Zhengdao. If we change the leader, we may not recognize the original agreement.
If Xiang Wentian is allowed to take charge of the Sun and Moon Sect, Linghu Chong believes that Xiang's elder brother is not that ambitious, but is afraid that his martial arts prestige is not enough, and forcing him to take the position will lead to endless troubles.
In fact, the suitable candidates are obvious, namely himself and Yingying. Whoever succeeds can take charge of the Sun Moon God Sect and resolve the disputes in the world.
However, what is the difference between himself and Yingying? If Yingying takes over as the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, will he abandon her and ignore her? Am I, Linghu Chong, such a person?
If that's the case, what's the difference between being the leader of the Sun and Moon God Sect?
Do you want to keep yourself clean and do not want to be contaminated by the devil's religion, and let your wife do it?
Linghu Chong couldn't help but think of Zhao Mingyuan's words, "If you are in charge of the Sun Moon God Sect in the future, just like the leftists of the Hengshan Sect today, if you can guide them to do good and eliminate evil, it will be a great blessing to the world."
That’s all, it’s impossible to have everything go your way in this world. For the sake of harmony and stability in the world, I will temporarily serve as the leader for a few years. When everything settles down, I will pass the throne to Brother Xiang.
Seeing that Linghu Chong finally changed his mind and agreed to take over as the leader, everyone was happy that the Sun Moon God Sect was now settled. After all, everyone knows Linghu Chong's temperament, and he is no longer afraid of being frightened all day like when the two previous leaders were in office.
Besides, it is also a good thing to ease the relationship and stop fighting with Zhengdao. Who is willing to work hard all day long? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to make a fortune together?
Besides, after Linghu Chong succeeded to the throne, he abolished all the "Wen Cheng, Wu Deze and the Holy Cult of the Common People" and the "unification of the world for thousands of years". Who would be willing to kneel down if they could make money standing up.
Everyone agreed to conceal the news for the time being and wait until they return to Blackwood Cliff to mourn the leader Ren.
Soon, news came out from Heimuya that Ren Woxing had passed away and that his son-in-law Linghu Chong had taken charge of the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Linghu Chong is well known to the world for his chivalrous heart and noble conduct. He was raised by Yue Buqun, the head of the Five Mountains Sect, and has close relations with both good and evil.
When we were asked to negotiate peace with the Right Way, people in the Jianghu were still not convinced. Nowadays, although Linghu Chong has only taken up his position as the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect and has not yet said a word, the martial arts people are already convinced that the peaceful days of the world are coming soon.
