The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

"Junior brother, he's the one who bought your candied hawthorn a couple of days ago."

Linghu Chong said in a low voice.

Jiang Ning was also quite surprised at this moment.

However, he didn't speak and chose to continue watching the show.

Holding a judge's pen and dressed like an accountant, Jia Bu said, "The leader has done me a great favor, and I will never betray him."

Upon seeing Jia Bu, Shangguan Yun sneered and said directly to Ren Woxing, "Master, these people are all die-hard followers of the Eastern traitors. They won't give up until they're completely defeated. Let's just kill them!"

Shangguan Yun had always been dissatisfied with Jia Bu, believing himself to be stronger than Jia Bu. He was only the head of the White Tiger Hall, while Jia Bu controlled the Azure Dragon Hall, which made him very unhappy. He wanted to instigate Ren Woxing to take direct action.

Faced with Shangguan Yun's instigation, Ren Woxing frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, but the current situation was not suitable for reprimanding Shangguan Yun, so he remained silent.

However, Shangguan Yun's words are quite correct.

Ren Woxing stopped wasting words and prepared to take action. However, just as he was about to wave his hand to order everyone to rush forward, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from behind the main hall. A large number of Sun Moon Cult members rushed out from the hall behind Dongfang Bubai.

Besides these followers, chaotic footsteps and noises could be heard outside the hall. It was obvious that many followers of the Sun Moon Cult were emerging from the shadows. Ren Woxing's side had not been able to find them before and did not know where they were hiding, but now they all came out to confront Ren Woxing's side.

At this moment, the cult members aimed their crossbows at the martial artists. The crossbow bolts in their hands were greenish, clearly poisoned. If these bolts were fired all at once, a large number of Ren Woxing's people would die before the battle even began.

Seeing so many people suddenly appear, not only did Ren Woxing and the others inside the hall look grim, but the martial arts practitioners outside the hall were also terrified.

Dongfang Bubai remained calm and smiled.

“Master Ren, I have no intention of starting a war with you today. I just want to meet with you and have a chat. But I think you would not dare to go up Blackwood Cliff alone, so I have removed the guards on Blackwood Cliff to allow you to come up without any hindrance.”

Chapter 529: The Deal (Louis Likes Oranges 16/16)

Ren Woxing stared coldly at Dongfang Bubai.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Dongfang Bubai had a smile on his lips.

“Leader Ren, you harbor hatred towards me, want to kill me, and also want to reclaim your position as leader.”

Dongfang Bubai laughed and said, "You have tens of thousands of men under your command, and I also have many followers. If you want to kill me, it will only be a bloody battle. Regardless of the outcome, both sides will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Ren Woxing snorted coldly and said, "So what?"

He brought his men to fight. So what if both sides are injured? He just wants to take Dongfang Bubai's life.

"I think Leader Ren should understand."

Dongfang Bubai said, "No matter how much hatred we have, in the eyes of the righteous path, we are both demons. You are ambitious. Back when you were the leader, you wanted to annex the righteous path. If we go to war, no matter who wins or loses, we will both be severely injured. Even if you win, your desire to annex the righteous path will only be a pipe dream in this life."

Ren Woxing remained silent.

Indeed, no matter what, if they fight today, both sides will definitely suffer heavy losses. Even if he wins in the end, his strength will be damaged, and it will be basically impossible for him to annex the righteous path.

"what do you want?"

Ren Woxing said coldly.

Dongfang Bubai's smile remained unchanged.

"So how about we make a deal?"

Ren Woxing frowned.

"What deal?"

Dongfang Bubai laughed.

"You really want to kill me? I'll give you that chance. We'll fight once, and if you can defeat me, I'll be at your disposal. All my men will also submit to you. That way, you can get your revenge without both sides suffering heavy losses, and you can also unify the cult. Isn't that what you want?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

You want a one-on-one fight?

Ren Woxing frowned, but did not speak.

"Dongfang Bubai! What kind of conspiracy are you plotting?!"

Ren Yingying drew her sword and pointed it at Dongfang Bubai, shouting.

Although she didn't know what Dongfang Bubai was up to, she couldn't just watch them continue talking like this.

She understood Ren Woxing's thoughts; he would be extremely tempted by Dongfang Bubai's words, but she was unwilling to do so.

In fact, she doesn't have that much ambition to annex the righteous path. She just wants to maintain the status quo, since the Sun Moon Cult's power is already large enough.

Dongfang Bubai looked at her and smiled slightly.

"Yingying, how have I treated you all these years?"

Ren Yingying didn't know why the other person would ask such a question in public, but she still replied.

“If it weren’t for Yang Lianting’s actions against me, you have indeed treated me well over the years.”

Dongfang Bubai laughed and looked at Ren Woxing.

"Master Ren, apart from the fact that I imprisoned you for more than ten years, there are no other grudges between us. I even took very good care of your only daughter. So the matter between you and me is a personal grudge, isn't it?"

Ren Woxing nodded slowly.

"good."

The two were still chatting, and the others didn't react much, but Ren Yingying felt increasingly uneasy. Yang Lianting, sitting opposite her, couldn't help but look at Dongfang Bubai.

He didn't understand why Dongfang Bubai hadn't made a move to kill all of Ren Woxing and his men by now.

Dongfang Bubai continued, "Since this is a feud between the two of us, there's no need to involve others. Let's have a fight. If you win, you can do whatever you want with me, and you can also take revenge for your years of imprisonment."

Ren Woxing looked at him. "If you win, what then?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled. "If I win, I will not harm you, and you may all leave the mountain. I only want one thing from you."

Ren Woxing frowned.

"what?"

"Three Corpse Brain God Pill".

Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, not only was Ren Woxing taken aback, but even Yang Lianting, who was standing next to Dongfang Bubai, looked at him in astonishment.

At this moment, Yang Lianting suddenly recalled what Dongfang Bubai had said to him when he gave him the cassock with the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual written on it.

Ren Woxing was rescued by Ren Yingying at the behest of Dongfang Bubai, who wanted the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. Dongfang Bubai also said that part of the reason he released Ren Woxing was to eliminate those unstable people and to obtain the formula and antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill from Ren Woxing and his daughter. This way, Yang Lianting could control the people in the sect through the Three Corpse Brain God Pill and become the sect leader.

However, since leaving Ren Woxing, Dongfang Bubai had not made any move against him. Unexpectedly, he would bring up such a condition at this time.

"You want the Three Corpse Brain God Pill?"

Ren Woxing was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood and burst into laughter as he looked at Dongfang Bubai.

"That's it, that's it."

Dongfang Bubai smiled but remained silent.

Ren Woxing finally understood.

"I finally understand why you didn't kill me when I had problems with my training, and instead imprisoned me at the bottom of West Lake for more than ten years. It turns out you wanted to get the Three Corpse Brain Pill from me. It's just a pity that I didn't say a word all these years and didn't let you succeed. Hahahaha."

Ren Woxing burst into laughter.

"You're only nice to my daughter so you can get the Three Corpse Brain Pill from her. But my daughter is extremely smart, and you can't do anything about it. That's why we're meeting today. I see. I see. You've really gone to great lengths for this. Hahahaha."

"Dongfang Bubai, I admire you."

Ren Woxing wasn't stupid; he now understood why Dongfang Bubai had asked him how he didn't know that Dongfang Bubai had deliberately had Ren Yingying release him.

Ren Woxing understood everything.

"You truly deserve to be the person I admire most in my life. Although I hate you the most, I still admire you."

Dongfang Bubai smiled.

"Now that Master Ren understands, what are your thoughts on this deal with me?"

Ren Woxing fell silent again.

He admired the other party, but he wasn't stupid. The other party had obtained the Sunflower Manual and would surpass Fang Zheng to become the number one martial artist in the world, which meant that the other party's martial arts skills were extremely high. Although he was proud, he was not arrogant.

"No!"

Ren Yingying immediately refused and looked at Ren Woxing.

"Father, we can't agree to his terms. We have the advantage now, why make this agreement with him? Just send our men to attack, and we'll definitely win in the end."

Ren Woxing remained frowning and silent.

Dongfang Bubai laughed.

“If Leader Ren is afraid that he is no match for me, I will let you and the others attack together, and I will fight you with only this weapon.”

Dongfang Bubai is said to be a weapon, but he doesn't actually have any weapon in his hand. His right index finger and thumb seem to be pinching something.

Ren Woxing's gaze sharpened as he looked closely.

"Embroidery needle?"

When Ren Woxing saw that Dongfang Bubai was holding a tiny embroidery needle, he became somewhat angry.

From his debut until now, Ren Woxing, who was once the leader of the Sun Moon Sect and a figurehead, had never been looked down upon like this before. Even though the person was Dongfang Bubai, he still felt humiliated.

Chapter 530: The Encounter

Ren Woxing was furious at this moment, but he still didn't say anything.

He wasn't the kind of person who would act recklessly in the heat of anger; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the leader of the cult in the first place.

After saying those words, Dongfang Bubai did not speak again.

He believed that the bank's next choice would be as he expected.

At this moment, everyone present turned their attention to Ren Woxing, waiting for his answer.

After a while.

"I promise you."

Ren Woxing agreed anyway.

Upon hearing this answer, Dongfang Bubai smiled.

"father!"

Ren Yingying was a little anxious and wanted to speak, but Ren Woxing raised his hand to stop her.

Ren Yingying gritted her teeth; she truly didn't understand why Ren Woxing would agree to Dongfang Bubai's conditions.

Ren Woxing did not explain to her.

The martial arts world is a dog-eat-dog world. Although there are righteous and demonic paths and many moral codes and beliefs, what people in the martial arts world truly believe in is very simple: the strong are supreme. The strong are worshipped by all people in the martial arts world and are followed by many people.

Dongfang Bubai is a strongman, and so is Ren Woxing. Now Dongfang Bubai has issued a challenge to him, and even with such low demands, Dongfang Bubai's words have already put him in a difficult position. If he doesn't even agree to this, it will inevitably make his subordinates dissatisfied with him as their leader, and he will lose all respect for them.

They are following a strong person, not a weak one.

So now all these people are watching him, waiting for his answer, to see how he answers.

Although Ren Woxing could use the Three Corpse Brain God Pill to control them to serve him, the Three Corpse Brain God Pill could not salvage his lost loyalty to his subordinates.

That's why Ren Yingying doesn't understand why he agreed to Dongfang Bubai's request; she will never understand.

"Since you want to fight me with embroidery needles, then I won't bully you, I'll fight you with my bare hands."

Ren Woxing spoke as if he were being perfectly fair and would not take any advantage of Dongfang Bubai, but the next second he changed his tone and said, "But I have been imprisoned in the West Lake prison for more than ten years and have suffered great damage. Later, when I fought with Yue Buqun, the leader of Huashan Sect, my old injuries flared up and I have not recovered yet. If it were a one-on-one fight, I would definitely not be your match. So I will swallow my pride and fight you with a few other brothers from the sect."

Seeing Ren Woxing speak so openly about the gang fight, and seeing his vigorous demeanor, showing no sign of his old injuries, Yang Lianting was about to speak with anger, but Dongfang Bubai had already spoken.

"Okay, this is what I promised you before, so of course it's fine."

Dongfang Bubai smiled.

Since Dongfang Bubai himself had agreed, Yang Lianting had no choice but to remain silent.
