The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Shangguan Yun walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on it, and said in a steady voice: "Shangguan Yun has been ordered to bring the captives to see the leader."

The door slowly opened with a creaking sound, and an old smell came into the air. Everyone walked into the palace, which was dark and damp. There were a few oil lamps hanging on the wall, and the light was dim. Right in front of them, on a huge chair, sat a figure, who was Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai looked pale and haggard, obviously seriously injured. But his eyes were still sharp, revealing a frightening aura. He glanced at everyone, and finally set his eyes on Ren Woxing, with a slight smile on his face: "Ren Woxing, you finally fell into my hands."

Dongfang Bubai walked to the stretcher and leaned over to look at Ren Woxing's face. He saw that Ren Woxing's eyes were sluggish, his mouth was slightly open, and he looked like a dazed person who had been seriously injured.

Dongfang Bubai slowly straightened up and cast his gaze towards Shangguan Yun who was standing respectfully beside him. His voice was neither too high nor too low, and his speech speed was steady, but it carried a kind of majesty radiating from within that no one dared to ignore:

"This old thief is so skilled in martial arts that it's not easy for me to capture him alive. How did you catch him?"

As he finished speaking, a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes.

Dongfang Bubai had doubts in his heart, but on the surface he looked calm, and quietly used his internal energy. In an instant, a sharp pain came from his Dantian, his face suddenly turned pale, and his originally steady breathing became rapid. He clenched his teeth and tried his best to suppress the fishy sweetness rising in his throat. This sudden internal breath disorder almost made him stand unsteadily, and he quietly held the edge of the table beside him with his hands to stabilize his body.

Last night's battle had damaged many of my meridians. I stayed at home all night to recuperate, and I thought my injuries had improved, but I didn't expect that the slightest exertion would cause a relapse of my internal injuries.

Dongfang Bubai knew that he should not make his current condition public. If others knew that he was seriously injured and his internal energy was unstable, it would cause a lot of trouble. He endured the discomfort in his body and secretly adjusted his breathing, trying to calm down his disordered internal energy.

Shangguan Yun was shocked when he saw Dongfang Bubai's strange expression, but he didn't dare to ask rashly. He could only speak carefully: "Master, you..."

Dongfang Bubai waved his hand, interrupting him, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, just continue to tell me how you captured Ren Woxing."

He tried to make his voice sound steady, but there was still a hint of weakness in his tone that was difficult to conceal.

Shangguan Yun was full of doubts when he saw this, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly said, "Master, I accidentally discovered the whereabouts of Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian. The two were in a hurry, as if they were avoiding something. I saw the right opportunity and put power-dispersing powder in their food and drinks when they stopped at a tavern and were completely unprepared. They lost all their power and were hit by two palms from me, so they were easily subdued."

Dongfang Bubai listened to Shangguan Yun's story, frowned slightly, and thought to himself: How could Ren Woxing be so smart, so easily be poisoned by the power-dispersing powder? This matter is very strange. But now his internal injuries have occurred, and he has no time to investigate further, so he can only put aside his doubts for the time being.

Yang Lianting, who was standing aside, curled his lips and revealed a satisfied smile:
"Very good, you have captured the traitor alive, which is a great achievement."

Shangguan Yun's face was full of piety, and he said: "I am loyal to the leader. If I can die for the leader, it will be my lifelong wish, and my whole family will be honored."

Yang Lianting nodded slightly and said, "Very good, very good. The leader will certainly reward you handsomely for your loyalty. I think you already know that the leader of the Fenglei Hall betrayed the leader and committed treason?"

Shangguan Yun showed a puzzled expression on his face and said, "I don't know the details, and I was just about to ask the steward for advice. If the leader and the steward have any orders, I will obey them and go through fire and water, even if it means death."

Yang Lianting sighed softly and said slowly: "Tong Baixiong, this old man, usually relies on the kindness of the leader to bully others and ignores everyone. In recent years, he has been secretly forming a clique and plotting a rebellion. I have seen the signs a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to become more and more unscrupulous and even colluded with Ren Woxing. This is really unreasonable."

Shangguan Yun pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes wide: "How could he be so bold?"

At this moment, someone behind me shouted, "Brother Dongfang, did you really send someone to arrest me?"

The voice sounded old, but full of internal strength. When he shouted a word, the echo continued to resound in the hall, appearing extremely powerful. As soon as one heard it, one could tell that this person must be Tong Baixiong, the leader of Fenglei Hall.

Yang Lianting's expression turned cold, and he scolded, "Tong Baixiong, how can you be allowed to shout and yell in this Chengde Hall? Why don't you kneel down when you see the leader? How dare you not praise the leader's literary and martial virtues?"

"Hahaha~~"

Tong Baixiong raised his head and laughed: "When Brother Dongfang and I were friends, there was no place for you, kid? Back then, Brother Dongfang and I went through life and death together, and we went through hardships together. You, a brat who is still wet behind the ears, were not even born yet. How could you have the chance to talk to me?"

Yi Huawei turned his head and saw clearly that Tong Baixiong's white hair was scattered on his shoulders, his silver beard was standing up, his facial muscles were constantly twitching, his eyes were wide open, and the blood on his face had already coagulated. He looked very scary. His hands and feet were locked in iron handcuffs, dragging a very long iron chain. When he was angry, he swung his hands vigorously, and the iron chain made a clanging sound.

Ren Woxing was lying motionless, but when he heard the sound of the iron chain, all the painful experiences of being imprisoned at the bottom of the West Lake suddenly came to his mind. He could no longer suppress his emotions, and his body trembled slightly. He was about to attack, but he heard Yang Lianting say, "You dare to be so rude in front of the leader. You are really arrogant. You secretly colluded with the anti-religious traitor Ren Woxing. Do you know your crime?"

Tong Baixiong opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "Master Ren was the former master of our sect. He was suffering from an incurable disease and retired to live in seclusion. He handed over the affairs of the sect to Brother Dongfang. How can he be called a traitor against the sect? Brother Dongfang, tell me clearly, how did Master Ren rebel and betray our sect?"

Yang Lianting sneered and said, "After Ren Woxing recovered from his illness, he should have returned to the sect, but he secretly colluded with traitors in the sect. If this isn't treason, what is it? Why doesn't he come to see the leader and listen to his instructions?"

Tong Baixiong laughed and said, "Master Ren is Brother Dongfang's former boss. His martial arts skills and knowledge may not be inferior to Brother Dongfang. Brother Dongfang, don't you think so?"

"Be bold!"

Yang Lianting shouted, "Don't take advantage of your age here. The leader is kind to his brothers and won't bother with you. If you deeply repent and explain your wrongdoings to all the brothers in the main hall tomorrow, and promise to change your ways and be loyal to the leader in the future, the leader may be able to show leniency and spare your life. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."

"Pooh!"

Spitting on the ground, Tong Baixiong said disdainfully: "Tong is nearly eighty years old and has long been tired of living. What consequences are you afraid of?"

Yang Lianting shouted loudly: "Bring people here!"

The purple-robed waiter hurriedly responded, "Yes!" Then the sound of iron chains was heard, and more than ten people were escorted into the hall, including men, women, and several young children.

When Tong Baixiong saw these people coming in, his face turned pale instantly, and he suddenly shouted: "Yang Lianting, a man should take responsibility for his own actions, what are you doing with my children and grandchildren?"

This shout made everyone's eardrums buzz.

Yang Lianting smiled slightly and said proudly, "What is the third rule of the leader's teachings? Read it to me!"

Tong Baixiong let out a loud "Pooh" and did not answer.

Yang Lianting turned to look at the Tong family and said, "Everyone in the Tong family, please listen. If anyone knows the third rule of the leader's teachings, please read it out loud."

I saw a boy about ten years old stepped forward and said crisply: "The third rule of the Master's Treasures of Wencheng Wude, Renyi Yingming is: 'Be ruthless to the enemy, cut off the roots, and spare no one, young or old, man or woman.'"

Yang Lianting nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, very good! Little kid, can you recite all the ten teachings of the leader?"

The boy puffed out his chest and said, "I can recite them all. If I don't read the Master's Treasures for a day, I can't eat or sleep. After reading the Master's Treasures, my martial arts training has improved and I have more strength to fight."

Yang Lianting smiled and said, "That's right, who taught you that?" The boy said, "My father taught me."

Yang Lianting pointed at Tong Baixiong and asked, "Who is he?"

The boy said, "It's Grandpa."

Yang Lianting said: "Your grandfather did not read the Master's teachings, did not listen to the Master's words, and instead betrayed the Master. What do you think?"

The boy blinked and said, "Grandpa is wrong. Everyone should read the teachings of the master and listen to the master's words."

Yang Lianting looked at Tong Baixiong and said, "Your grandson is only a ten-year-old kid, but he still understands the truth. How come you are confused at your age?"

Tong Baixiong said: "I only talked to Ren and Xiang for a while. They wanted me to betray the leader, but I didn't agree. Tong Baixiong means what he says, and he will never do anything to let others down."

When he saw that more than ten members of his family, young and old, had been captured, his tone softened unconsciously.

Yang Lianting said: "If you had said so earlier, there would be no need for so much trouble. Do you know you are wrong now?"

Tong Baixiong said: "I did nothing wrong. I did not betray the religion, and I did not betray the leader."

Yang Lianting sighed and said:
"Since you refuse to admit your mistakes, I can't save you. Take his family away. From today on, don't give them a grain of rice or a sip of water."

Several purple-robed waiters answered, "Yes!" and were about to leave, escorting more than ten people.

Tong Baixiong shouted hurriedly: "Wait a minute!"

Tong Baixiong's facial muscles twitched, and he looked at Yang Lianting. After a while, he said, "Okay, I admit my mistake. I was wrong, and I beg the leader to forgive me."

Although he admitted his mistake, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

Yang Lianting sneered and said, "What did you say just now? You said that I was not born when you and the leader went through hardships together, right?"

Tong Baixiong suppressed his anger and said quietly, "I was wrong."

Yang Lianting said: "You are wrong? It's easy to say that. Why don't you kneel before the leader?"

Tong Baixiong said, "The leader and I were sworn brothers in the past, and we have been equal for decades." He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Brother Dongfang, you saw your elder brother being tortured, why didn't you say a word? If you want your elder brother to kneel down to you, that's easy. As long as you say a word, your elder brother will die for you without even frowning."

Dongfang Bubai sat there quietly, motionless. For a moment, the hall was silent, and everyone looked at Dongfang Bubai, waiting for him to speak. But after a long time, he still didn't say a word.

Tong Baixiong shouted, "Brother Dongfang, I have hardly seen you in the past few years. You have been living in seclusion, practicing the Sunflower Manual, but do you know that your old friends in the sect have been separated and a disaster is imminent?"

Dongfang Bubai remained silent.

Tong Baixiong then shouted:

"It doesn't matter if you kill me or torture me, but if you destroy the Sun Moon Divine Sect that has dominated the martial arts world for hundreds of years, you will become a sinner for all eternity. Why don't you speak?"

Yang Lianting shouted loudly: "Nonsense! Kneel down!" The two purple-robed waiters shouted in unison and kicked Tong Baixiong in the knee at the same time.

There were only two loud bangs, and the leg bones of the two purple-robed waiters were broken instantly. They fell out like kites with broken strings, and blood spurted out of their mouths uncontrollably.

Tong Baixiong's face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother Dongfang, I want to hear you say it yourself, and I will be willing to die."

The sound echoed in the empty hall, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

When Yang Lianting heard this, his face darkened instantly, and he said angrily: "How dare you, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Tong Baixiong showed no fear, his chest rising and falling violently, and he shouted: "I have lived to this day, which is enough, why should I fear death?"

Yang Lianting sneered and said, "Left and right, take him away!"

When the eight purple-robed waiters heard the order, they immediately responded.

Tong Baixiong was not willing to surrender. His eyes were wide open and his hands were waving violently. The iron chain in his hand was whirring, and it was flying around him like a long, nimble snake. He dragged the heavy iron chain with his feet and rushed towards Dongfang Bubai step by step.

The eight purple-robed waiters were frightened by his majestic appearance and did not dare to approach him easily. They just hesitated to the side.

Seeing this, Yang Lianting was so anxious that he jumped up and down, shouting at the top of his voice: "Catch him, catch him!"

When his highness's warriors heard the shouts, they just shouted loudly to cheer at the door, but none of them dared to go up to the hall, because there were strict rules in the sect. If a member of the sect stepped into the Chengde Hall with a weapon, it would be an unforgivable capital crime, and no one dared to violate it easily.

Dongfang Bubai sat there, looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, frowning slightly. Seeing Tong Baixiong coming aggressively, he finally stood up and turned around to go to the back hall.

When Tong Baixiong saw Dongfang Bubai was about to leave, he became very anxious and shouted, "Brother Dongfang, don't go."

He shouted and quickened his pace. Unfortunately, his feet were tied tightly with iron shackles, which made it very inconvenient for him to move and walk fast. In a hurry, his footing was unstable and he fell forward. But he reacted very quickly, taking advantage of the momentum of the fall, somersaulted a few times, and then rushed forward again. At this time, he was only a hundred feet away from Dongfang Bubai.

Seeing this, Yang Lianting shouted even more frantically: "Bold traitor, trying to assassinate the leader! Warriors, quickly go to the palace and capture the traitor."

Ren Woxing had been lying on the stretcher, watching all this with cold eyes. He saw that Dongfang Bubai's evasive movements were extremely slow, and Tong Baixiong was still far away from him and could not catch up for a while. He had an idea and took out three copper coins from his arms while no one was paying attention. He took a deep breath, exerted all his strength in his palm, and poured all his strength into the three copper coins, and then threw them at Dongfang Bubai.

Yingying had been paying attention to the situation on the field. When she saw Ren Woxing take action, she immediately shouted, "Go ahead!"
