Linghu Chong - Sun Moon Holy Cult

Sun Moon Holy Cult

• Ren Woxing (Chinese: 任我行; Mandarin Pinyin: Rèn Wǒxíng; Jyutping: Jam4 Ngo5-hang4) is the leader of the Sun Moon Holy Cult (日月神教). He is feared by both his followers and enemies. He masters the 'Star Sucking Great Skill' (吸星大法), a dreaded ability that allows him to drain and absorb an opponent's inner energy. He is ousted from power in a scheme orchestrated by Dongfang Bubai and imprisoned in an underground dungeon for 12 years before escaping with Linghu Chong's help. He returns to confront Dongfang Bubai and regains control of his cult with Linghu's assistance. He dies from a stroke triggered by his own megalomania.

• Ren Yingying (Chinese: 任盈盈; Mandarin Pinyin: Rèn Yíngyíng; Jyutping: Jam4 Jing4-jing4) is Ren Woxing's daughter. Although she is intelligent and caring towards her subordinates, she can be ruthless and cold blooded at times. She meets Linghu Chong and falls in love with him after being attracted to his heroism. She succeeds her father as the cult's leader but later retires to lead a reclusive life with Linghu Chong.

• Dongfang Bubai (traditional Chinese: 東方不敗; simplified Chinese: 东方不败; Mandarin Pinyin: Dōngfāng Bùbài; Jyutping: Dung1-fong1 Bat1-baai6)

• Xiang Wentian (traditional Chinese: 向問天; simplified Chinese: 向问天; Mandarin Pinyin: Xiàng Wèntiān; Jyutping: Hoeng3 Man6-tin1) is an elder of the cult. He remains loyal to Ren Woxing even after Dongfang Bubai seized power and becomes an outcast of the cult. Linghu Chong once saved him while he was under attack by dozens of enemies. He becomes sworn brothers with Linghu after realising that both of them share similar attributes. He succeeds Ren Yingying as the cult's leader.

• Qu Yang (Chinese: 曲洋; Mandarin Pinyin: Qǔ Yáng; Jyutping: Kuk1 Joeng4) is an elder of the cult who plays the guqin. He befriends Liu Zhengfeng of the (South) Mount Heng Sect, who shares the same passion for music as him. The duo compose the music piece Xiaoao Jianghu together and later pass the score to Linghu Chong. He commits suicide together with Liu Zhengfeng when both of them are cornered by Zuo Lengshan's men.

• Ren Yingying's subordinates:
  • Lan Fenghuang (traditional Chinese: 藍鳳凰; simplified Chinese: 蓝凤凰; Mandarin Pinyin: Lán Fènghuáng; Jyutping: Laam4 Fung6-wong4) is the leader of the Five Deities Cult (五仙教). She attempts to cure Linghu Chong of his internal injuries but fails. She becomes Linghu Chong's godsister later.
  • Laotouzi (traditional Chinese: 老頭子; simplified Chinese: 老头子; Mandarin Pinyin: Lǎotóuzǐ; Jyutping: Lou5-tau4-zi2) is Laobusi's father. He has eight herbal tablets, intended to be used as a cure for his daughter, but Linghu Chong consumes the tablets by accident. Linghu willingly uses his blood to save Laotouzi's daughter and the latter is very grateful to him.
  • Zu Qianqiu (Chinese: 祖千秋; Mandarin Pinyin: Zǔ Qiānqīu; Jyutping: Zou2 Cin1-cau1) is a jianghu lowlife who tricks Linghu Chong into consuming Laotouzi's tablets.
  • Ji Wushi (traditional Chinese: 計無施; simplified Chinese: 计无施; Mandarin Pinyin: Jì Wúshī; Jyutping: Gei3 Mou4-si1)
  • Lüzhuweng (traditional Chinese: 綠竹翁; simplified Chinese: 绿竹翁; Mandarin Pinyin: Lǜzhúwēng; Jyutping: Luk6-zuk1-jung1)
