?Mobile reading In reality, Hongrou Brother and his group weren't absolutely loyal to Liu Yun. Before the arrival of the Eighty Electronic Book, they had prepared contingency plans—since they weren't certain whether Liu Yun had truly passed away, they couldn't simply follow the crowd and switch allegiance to Liu Su. If this was part of Liu Yun's strategy, deliberately testing their loyalty, wouldn't that be rather unfortunate? They had to project unwavering loyalty to their longtime leader to avoid such a scenario. Since the beginning until now, they've never been certain whether Liu Yun truly died, which is why Hongrou Brother has reacted so dramatically. He hadn't anticipated that Liu Su's tactics were just as formidable as her aunt Liu Yun's, and with Qin the Young Man's support, she was all set to make a show of "killing the chicken to intimidate the monkey." At this moment, whoever stepped forward with ambition would inevitably become the unfortunate chicken. It wasn't until his body lost control that he realized this—only to find it too late. If he could still speak right now, he would surely make a complete 180-degree turn and even kneel before Liu Su. But now, he can do nothing but wait to die. Qin the Young Man saw the fear in his eyes, yet once you've become the unfortunate chicken, no one can save you anymore. With a wave of his right hand, he drew a golden flash. The flash came from the dagger, Firefall. In the next instant, Hongru's head separated from his neck and rolled to the ground, like a ball, rolling toward the side. Several nearby people were terrified, jumping and scrambling, afraid their heads would collide with theirs. Yet Hongru's headless body did not spurt out blood—it remained standing in place. Silence fell, so complete that even the sound of breathing could be heard. Qin Feng, playing with the dagger, said, "This dagger is called Firefall, forged from extraterrestrial meteor iron. It is incredibly sharp and causes wounds that bleed continuously—sometimes even a seemingly minor cut can prove fatal. But if your hands are quick and your strength great, another effect is possible! A clean kill without blood—just as now, the blade can compress and seal a person's major arteries. Even after the head is severed, the body will not spill a single drop of blood!" When he said these words, his tone was remarkably relaxed, yet the listeners were genuinely shaken. Gong Hemu, as the head of the sect, was second only to Ma Fengliang among the eight senior masters—yet before Qin Feng, he had no defense at all, simply standing there, helpless as he was slaughtered. In this way, Qin the Young demonstrated clearly to everyone who dared to defy him: should anyone refuse to listen to him, he could at any moment take their lives. The "kill a chicken to warn the monkeys" effect had been achieved. Now came the time to consolidate support. A firm slap, followed by a sweet treat—this slap had been delivered by Qin the Young, and the sweet treat, naturally, came from Liu Su. She cleared her throat and slowly stood up, speaking with conviction: "Ladies and gentlemen, the central power figures' move against the Heaven-Right Sect is no exaggeration. If we don't make changes, we will soon vanish from this world and be labeled as heretical—then, even if you wish to change, you'll have no chance. So I ask you—do you want to die, or do you want to live?" "Of course we want to live, and we want to live better!" someone shouted, and he too was one of Liu Su's allies. Liu Su smiled, "Having such thoughts proves you're not foolish. Qin Feng is my boyfriend, and precisely because of our relationship, he's been quietly telling me the decisions made by the senior figures. The Tianli Sect is at a critical juncture—its very survival hangs in the balance—yet my aunt, the previous Sect Master, has done nothing but constantly seeking out men for romance. She's utterly indifferent to everything else, to the very lives of the people around her. After all, she's already reaped substantial rewards and has lost no connections whatsoever as the Sect declines. But I must think about the future of everyone!" With just a few sentences, the beautiful senior student clearly distinguished herself from Liu Yun and positioned herself on the side of righteousness. Then she went on to criticize several of Liu Yun's actions. In fact, everyone already knew about these matters—though they had simply grown accustomed to being ruled by Liu Yun. The timing was ripe, so she shifted her tone: "As long as you recognize me as the new Grand Master and follow my commands, everyone will be promoted one level, annual dividends will increase by 30%, and I guarantee that no major figures will ever trouble us again!" A promotion for everyone wasn't difficult, since nearly all the heads and deputy heads of the eight branches had already been secured—someone had to step up. A 30% increase in dividends wasn't hard either, given the ongoing economic recovery in China and the world at large; the favorable macro environment made it a natural step. With Qin Feng as their backer and the powerful figures behind him, such as Wei Qingshan, who could anyone dare to challenge if the Tian Li Sect adopted a humble stance? Three interconnected benefits—each achievable with just one condition: obedience to Liu Su's leadership. "We support the new Grand Master," someone shouted, and others immediately joined in. Liu Su waved her hand and added, "As for those who dare to challenge the Tianli Sect, I will never show mercy—consider carefully, for you face a clear path of sunlight on one side and a dark, narrow bridge on the other; it's up to you to decide which way to go!" Qin Feng interjected, "Who dares to defy Liu Su? Without her even lifting a finger, I'll eliminate him first. Rest assured, this isn't official retaliation—I'm fulfilling my duty. If you don't believe me, now step forward!" The crowd exchanged glances, hesitating, while the group of Liu Su's supporters nearby cheered and urged them on. Most eventually bowed their heads. One person remained unconvinced and stepped forward, shouting, "You may believe her—I won't! I won't believe her at all!" Swoosh… splutter… A sword pierced straight through his chest. Staring in disbelief at Qin Feng, the man slowly sank to his knees and then fell lifeless. With the second chicken now fallen, the monkeys fully realized their predicament—no matter how strong their bones, they could no longer resist and had to yield. Liu Su and Qin Feng exchanged a glance. She whispered, "Don't we seem a bit too severe?" Qin nodded with a light chuckle. "After all, I'm the one who's been playing the villain. If it's harsh, it's my harshness—nothing at all to do with you. So you just stay calm and continue to be the Master."
