The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 368

Tong Baixiong had always been at odds with him, and now that the other party had taken control of the Suzaku Hall, he would probably look down on him even less.

Tong Baixiong couldn't help but look at Dongfang Bubai at this moment.

Yang Lianting even said: "The Divine Religion has never had such a precedent."

In the history of the Sun and Moon Sect, there has indeed never been anyone who has been in charge of two halls at the same time.

Dongfang Bubai smiled.

"The Divine Religion has never had a precedent of having two leaders. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

Yang Lianting said nothing more.

Tong Baixiong was a little hesitant at this time.

"Will this displease other people in the church?"

Dongfang Bubai did not reply to him. His eyes were dazed and lost in memories.

After a while.

Dongfang Bubai murmured.

"Thinking back to when I was besieged by the Seven Tigers of Ludong in Taihang Mountain, my life was hanging by a thread. If it weren't for Brother Tong risking his life to save me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today."

Hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Tong Baixiong was stunned and his eyes softened.

"It's been so long, I didn't expect you still remember."

"Why don't I remember?"

Dongfang Bubai asked back, then laughed and said, "Later, when I first took the position of leader, Elder Luo of the Suzaku Hall was dissatisfied with me and intended to unite with other elders to drive me out of the position of leader."

Dongfang Bubai's voice was gentle.

"It was you, Brother Tong, who acted decisively and killed Elder Luo with one blow, and supported me as the leader. Otherwise, my appointment as the leader would not have been so smooth."

Talking about the past, Tong Baixiong also sighed slightly.

Dongfang Bubai continued, "I have known you since I was eleven years old. When I was young, my family was poor and there happened to be a famine at that time. My parents passed away and we had no money to bury them. You took care of their funeral for me. Later, I followed you into the Divine Religion. Decades have passed in a flash. You have been very kind to me. Now I let you take charge of the Vermillion Bird Wind and Thunder Halls, and no one else in the sect will say anything."

When Dongfang Bubai mentioned these past events, Tong Baixiong couldn't help but be distracted.

Only Yang Lianting's expression changed at this moment.

"Don't worry, I will never allow Ren Woxing to take away your position as the leader, even if it costs me my life."

After a long time, Tong Baixiong spoke again.

Dongfang Bubai smiled and said, "Of course I believe it."

Tong Baixiong stood up.

"Brother Dongfang, since the situation is so serious now, I will go to organize Fenglei Hall and Suzaku Hall and wait for your orders at any time."

Dongfang Bubai nodded.

Tong Baixiong was about to turn around and leave, but before leaving he couldn't help but look at Yang Lianting, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He never dreamed that Yang Lianting and Dongfang Bubai would have this kind of relationship.

After Tong Baixiong left, only Yang Lianting and Dongfang Bubai were left.

The two remained silent at this time.

After a while.

"Tong Baixiong treats me very well."

Dongfang Bubai suddenly said.

Yang Lianting's expression changed again.

Just now when Dongfang Bubai mentioned the past to Tong Baixiong, he understood what Dongfang Bubai meant.

"I see."

After a moment of silence, Yang Lianting said, "As long as he doesn't go against me, I won't target him anymore."

Dongfang Bubai laughed and took the initiative to bring up other topics.

"I heard that the Five Mountains Sword Sect re-elected a new leader last month?"

"Correct."

Yang Lianting nodded.

A month has passed since the internal strife among the Five Mountains Sword Sects that occurred on Mount Song in June, and the Seven Star Messenger who Yang Lianting had sent out to investigate has also returned.

"However, the leader of the Five Mountains was not elected, and a large number of people died instead."

Yang Lianting then told what happened on Mount Songshan a month ago.

"Ren Woxing, Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian brought those apostates to Songshan to cause trouble for a disciple of Huashan Sect. The two sides agreed to a best-of-three duel..."

When Yang Lianting said this, Dongfang Bubai suddenly interrupted.

"Is it the young man who hurt Yingying before?"

"Correct."

Yang Lianting said.

Dongfang Bubai nodded and motioned for Yang Lianting to continue.

"That guy defeated Xiang Wentian, and his master Yue Buqun also defeated Ren Woxing."

Yang Lianting sneered, "Ren Woxing went up to Songshan with such a threatening attitude, but ended up in trouble and lost face in front of the world."

Dongfang Bubai did not pay attention to this matter, but instead noticed another thing.

"That young man and Yue Buqun's martial arts are so powerful?"

Dongfang Bubai was a little surprised.

Yang Lianting nodded.

"I heard that when Yue Buqun was fighting Ren Woxing, Ren Woxing's old injury suddenly relapsed and he was defeated. But it is true that the guy beat Xiang Wentian. If Ren Woxing hadn't taken action, Xiang Wentian would have even died at the hands of the guy."

Yang Lianting couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the news.

Xiang Wentian is the Left Protector of the Guangming Sect, and his martial arts skills are second only to Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing. However, he was defeated by a second-generation disciple of Huashan and was almost killed. This is indeed surprising.

Dongfang Bubai was a little surprised, but didn't say anything else. He just said that the righteous path actually produced a rising star.

Seeing that he did not ask any more questions, Yang Lianting continued to talk, describing in detail the internal strife among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, how Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun pretended to disperse their powers during the duel, and finally how the two sides fought each other and the entire Songshan Sect was destroyed.

Dongfang Bubai listened quietly the whole time and only asked a question at the end.

"Who killed Zuo Lengchan? Yue Buqun?"

Yang Lianting paused for a moment and said, "It's still that Huashan disciple."

Dongfang Bubai didn't say anything, but his eyes, which had been calm until now, showed a strange look.

After a while.

"What's his name?"

Yang Lianting looked at Dongfang Bubai and said, "Jiangning."

"Jiangning..."

Dongfang Bubai lowered his head and whispered the name.

After a while, Dongfang Bubai looked up at Yang Lianting again.

"Was it him you sent people to Pingyu Town to hunt him down last time?"

Hearing this, Yang Lianting was shocked and subconsciously looked at Dongfang Bubai, and almost blurted out "how did you know?"

But then he reacted.

Dongfang Bubai even knew that he was planning to attack Tong Baixiong, so how could he not know what he had done next.

"Yes."

Yang Lianting nodded in acknowledgment.

Dongfang Bubai didn't say anything when he heard this, as if he was just asking, and he didn't ask Yang Lianting why he wanted to hunt down Jiang Ning.

But Yang Lianting wanted to explain: "This person is very hostile to my Divine Religion, and he is also a disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. He is very talented. In time, I am afraid he will lead the Five Mountains Sword Sect to become an enemy of my Divine Religion. I think he may threaten you, so I want to get rid of him in advance."

Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly.

"You don't have to send anyone to hunt him down anymore."

Dongfang Bubai said: "The people you sent can't kill him now."

"it is good."

Yang Lianting nodded.

Dongfang Bubai suddenly laughed.

"Just let him grow up. This world is too boring. Let's see how high he can go. Maybe he will give me a surprise."

Chapter 411: Capital

July.

A caravan of twenty to thirty people was on their way.

"Butler, we're here."

A member of the caravan said to a middle-aged man.
