In the Aristocratic Families, Ruan Baimei's identity was irreplaceable, so the Chief and even the Sect Leader Position would definitely belong to Ruan Baimei.
As for Ruan Baimei's Taibai Immortal Body, although this Immortal Body was strong, it was merely an enhancement and didn't play a decisive factor.
Anyone who could compete for the Sect Leader's Position was undoubtedly a Pride of Heaven with exceptional talent.
Even if their talent was significantly less than Ruan Baimei's, it was not an insurmountable gap. Furthermore, these individuals had the advantage of a head start, and their age was sufficient to compensate for the disparity in talent.
Keep in mind, Song Knife was just the seventh Chief of the original Master and Disciple Lineage.
Competing with these people would be extremely difficult for Ruan Baimei, and bringing Xu Xing back to the Sect would lead to even more unimaginable consequences.
