"Cough cough..."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zhu Rong coughed twice, slowly raised his head, and his expression was bitter.

"I didn't expect, Nuannuan, that your Fist Intent actually carried a trace of space power. This is a Divine Skill only a Great Witch can possess."

Zhu Rong's words shocked the other Witch Kings, leaving them dumbfounded and murmuring amongst themselves.

"What, a Great Witch? How is that possible!"

"A Great Witch hasn't appeared since the Overlord's valiant death at Wu River. Could it be that after a millennium, our clan will see a Great Witch once again?"

"A Great Witch with the Martial Dao Space Fist Intent, truly rare in a thousand years!"

...

In fact, even Nuannuan couldn't comprehend what the Witch Kings were talking about.

But this little girl was clever as ice and snow, turning over thoughts in her heart, yet her face remained impassive.

Nuannuan did not understand the meaning behind their words, but for Yang Fei, it was like a lightning bolt striking his Heavenly Spirit Cover, kindling an indescribable enlightenment within.

"So, Martial Arts, martial is secondary, but Tao is fundamental. Only by integrating Tao into martial arts can one transcend into holiness and become invincible in the world!"

At this moment, Yang Fei suddenly discovered a higher realm of Martial Arts.

The reason Nuannuan's Great Witch Essence Blood could instantly defeat multiple Witch Kings was fundamentally unrelated to the accumulation of Essence, nor was it related to the magnitude of power, but because the Great Witch Essence Blood contained a hint of space mysteries.

This trace of space mysteries was the enlightenment obtained by Nuannuan's father, the Witch Master, after a lifetime of practicing Martial Arts.

He transformed this trace of enlightenment into the Mysterious Principles of Martial Arts and integrated it into the Great Witch Essence Blood, which is why Nuannuan's strike was extraordinary.

Yang Fei stared at Nuannuan in a daze, but in his heart, his understanding of Martial Arts had already undergone a radical transformation.

Nuannuan partly understood the words of the Witch Kings but spoke plainly.

"Enough nonsense, who else is not convinced with Nuannuan, step forward."

She had instantly defeated Gonggong and then Zhu Rong; who else would dare to step forward?

However, if they retreated at this moment, there would be no hope of obtaining the Witch Master position and the Pangu True Scripture that everyone longed for.

For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma.

Nobody dared to act against Nuannuan, nor were they willing to give up the Witch Master position and the Pangu True Scripture.

Seeing everyone hesitate, Nuannuan snorted.

"Just go, who cares about the position of Witch Master? I can't be bothered with it. From today, I, Nuannuan, have nothing more to do with the Wu Clan."

As she spoke, she took off the iron ring on her left middle finger and threw it on the ground, then clasped her hands towards everyone.

"Farewell, everyone!"

The crowd was greatly surprised, originally thinking that Nuannuan would seize the opportunity to take the Witch Master position.

However, this little girl left so freely, which made everyone feel a sense of inexplicable loss.

For thousands of years, the Twelve Branches had been fighting, scheming against each other, all for the purpose of vying for the Witch Master position and tilting more resources towards their own branch.

But now, almost invincible Nuannuan, casually relinquished the Witch Master position, which led the five Witch Kings to reflect.

So many years of fratricide within the clan, what was the point?

Nuannuan couldn't be bothered with them, and approached Yang Fei, extending a hand to him.

"Uncle, let's go. I won't care about Wu Clan matters anymore. Let this little girl follow and serve you?"

Yang Fei broke into a smile: "I can't accept that, you are the Saintess of the Wu Clan and have inherited the Witch Master legacy."

"If I treat you like a maid, tens of thousands of Wu Clan disciples would tear me apart."

Nuannuan giggled: "How could that be? All of this is voluntary. Since you have risked life and death for me, how could I not repay your kindness?"

Yang Fei shook his head: "There's no need, I regard you as a friend and don't require your repayment."

Nuannuan chuckled: "I don't care, I'm following you regardless; other matters don't concern me."

Yang Fei suddenly remembered Dan Dan and sighed.

"I can't, my good friend Dan Dan is still missing; I can't leave just like that."

Nuannuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry; as long as Dan Dan is in the Ancestral Altar, I can help you find him."

"I also have to return to the Ancestral Altar to rescue my grandfather, release him from the Martial Dao Prohibition, and leave with him."

Yang Fei nodded, looking at the nearby, menacing Five Great Witch Kings, and sighed: "This won't be easy."

Nuannuan snorted: "Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy."

As she said this, she turned around to leave, moving with the freedom of the wind.

At this moment, Zhu Rong in the distance suddenly knelt down.

"Saintess, please stay and take charge. My Fire Gate is willing to submit, and everything is at the command of the Saintess."

Looking at one another, the other four Witch Kings finally kneeled together and called out.

"Saintess, please stay, lead the Wu Clan?"

Nuannuan turned around, glanced at the crowd bowing down to her, and said indifferently.

"What, have you given up on the Pangu True Scripture? Don't want the Grand Master position either?"

Zhu Rong knelt low, his voice highly emotional.

"Saintess Nuannuan, you have a chance to become the first Great Witch in a thousand years, possessing Great Divine Power."

"With a Great Master like you, even launching a war against the gods is possible."

"I believe that under your protection, the Wu Clan will certainly thrive, restoring the might and power of our ancient ancestors."

Nuannuan snorted: "Stop flattering. If you want me to be the Witch Master, first I have three rules with you all."

"First, my great-grandfather was placed under prohibition by you. I need you to release him from it."

"And my friend Mr. Yang Fei has a good friend named Dan Dan, who was also captured by the Heavenly Fire Sect. You must release Dan Dan immediately."

"Second, in the future, the Wu Clan is to be led by me. I have the final say in all matters, big or small. For major issues, I will discuss with the Elders' Hall, but once a decision is made, even if it hurts your interests, you must obey."

"Third, the Wu Clan should temporarily halt its plans to infiltrate human society. I need to reorganize the clan internally."

...

Nuannuan announced over ten rules in one breath, incisively and sharply, making Yang Fei inwardly admire her.

Perhaps due to the powerful genes of the Witch Master, Nuannuan handled the clan's affairs methodically, decisively and resolutely.

The five Witch Kings stared blankly at Nuannuan, as if the Witch Master had invisibly returned.

Nuannuan's demeanor, her tone and expression, and her domineering spirit all resembled the former Witch Master.

Zhu Rong's face, however, looked very troubled.

Nuannuan saw it at a glance and immediately became interested: "Zhu Rong, what are you thinking?"

Zhu Rong shivered, suddenly awakened.

"Saintess Nuannuan, I am pondering something, and I ask to have a heartfelt conversation with you to exchange our ideas."

Yang Fei snorted, about to say something, but was halted by a look from Nuannuan.

Nuannuan stood up, Zhu Rong extended his hand, and said respectfully: "Please!"
