After practicing the Sunflower Manual, Dongfang Bai's beard stopped growing. How could he conceal his appearance?

He could only make himself a half-face iron mask to wear on his face, so that people could not see his full appearance.

In fact, with his current martial arts skills, dealing with those cultists would be a piece of cake.

But he had only just begun practicing the Sunflower Manual; he wasn't yet the undisputed number one leader of the Eastern Cult.

Dongfang Bai's martial arts skills are currently only second-rate in the martial arts world, not even reaching the first-rate level. Not to mention Ren Woxing, he is no match for the other elders and hall masters.

If Dongfang Bai were to reveal his skills too early and attract the attention of those in high positions, he would be in great danger.

After watching his younger brother leave, Dongfang Bai got busy.

He was busy climbing the ranks and improving his skills.

He possessed a tenacity that others lacked, and with Xiong Baichuan's support, Dongfang Bai quickly rose to the middle management level of the Sun Moon Cult.

After entering the middle level, Dongfang Bai quickly came into Ren Woxing's sight again.

Unfortunately, the main problem is that the Sun Moon Cult has too few people with both brains and the ability to manage.

Finding someone who can think critically among a group of people who only know how to fight is as obvious as finding a Scottish cat among a group of huskies.

Ren Woxing then promoted and gave important positions to Dongfang Bai.

However, Ren Woxing was wary of Dongfang Bai's great abilities, so he gave the Sunflower Manual to Dongfang Bai and let him cultivate it.

Dongfang Bai flipped through the original version of the Sunflower Manual and sneered inwardly.

My gratitude towards Ren Woxing vanished.

He was very glad that he was bound to the system; if he hadn't, he would have castrated himself as Ren Woxing had planned.

Then he won't be a man anymore!

He will surely repay Ren Woxing with such hatred.

Because of this idea, after "usurping the throne," Dongfang Bai did not spare Ren Woxing's life out of gratitude for Ren Woxing's high regard for him, but instead killed Ren Woxing directly.

After all, he is the "villain," and the rule of "cutting the weeds without leaving a trace" must be followed. The so-called "protagonist" must not be given a chance to turn the tables.

Yes, the cult leader knew he was the villain, and he also knew that his world was originally a book, and he was the main villain in the book, who was overthrown by the male and female protagonists together with the female protagonist's father.

This is the so-called storyline that he redeemed using points in the system's shop.

When the cult leader found out, he almost broke down.

Fortunately, the leader was resilient and quickly regained his composure.

Even if this is a fictional world, it is real.

Is the plot just a matter of fate?
If you make changes after you've learned the truth, wouldn't that be breaking free from your original fate?

This is the real reason he killed Ren Woxing.

Without Ren Woxing, how could Ren Yingying possibly run up Blackwood Cliff to kill him?
The Ren Yingying of today is not the Holy Maiden.

Dongfang Bai spared Ren Yingying's life because she was still a child, but he would never grant her a high position or power, so that she would have the strength to resist him.

After Dongfang Baijian and Ren Yingying were driven off Blackwood Cliff, whether she lived or died, and how she lived, was entirely up to her.

As the female lead, with some kind of protagonist's halo, Ren Yingying wouldn't die.

Why didn't you kill Ren Yingying?

Isn't this because they're afraid the world will collapse if one of the main characters dies?
Dongfang Bai dared not gamble.

There are still people in this world he cares about.

The cult leader did not kill Ren Yingying, but Xiang Wentian had to die.

The cult leader did not want to leave behind such a threat.

After the leader "ascended the throne," his mentality did not change at all, and unlike in the original work, he did not lose interest in power and handed over the management of the Sun Moon Cult to his male lover.

Dongfang Bai disliked men and did not relinquish power to others. He personally handled the affairs of the Sun Moon Cult.

Dongfang Bai downloaded many management-related books from the system and applied them effectively, managing the cult in an orderly manner.

Many books elucidated the importance of the masses, and after careful consideration, the leader decided to change some of the Sun Moon Cult's practices.

Some members who committed all sorts of evil deeds were dealt with by the cult leader, who stipulated that his followers must not harass ordinary people without cause.

The people within the territory of the Sun Moon Cult therefore lived much better lives than those in other places.

The reputation of the Sun Moon Cult is gradually improving.

The so-called righteous people of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were unwilling to see the Sun Moon Divine Sect's reputation improve, so they joined forces to attack Blackwood Cliff.

However, the current leader is now a master of martial arts, even more powerful than Ren Woxing.

Even Zuo Lengchan, the most powerful person in the Five Mountains Sword Sect, was no match for Ren Woxing, so how could he possibly be a match for the sect leader?

Even if he joined forces with the leaders of the other four sects, they would still be no match for the sect leader.

The cult leader gave them a severe lesson, making them slink away in disgrace.

From then on, the reputation of the sect leader as the best in the world spread throughout the entire martial arts world.

Liu Dong would come to Blackwood Cliff every year to celebrate the New Year with the cult leader.

However, he rarely appeared in front of the Sun Moon Cult members. Everyone only knew that the cult leader had a younger brother, but few knew his name or appearance.

The carrier pigeon descended from the sky and landed in Liu Tong's hand.

Liu Dong took the small bamboo tube from under the pigeon's leg, took out the note inside, and after reading the words on it, said to the sect leader, "Brother, I need to go to the capital."

Cult Leader: "What happened?"

Liu Dong: "A friend of mine is sick, and I need to go and treat him."

The cult leader said, "Aren't there any other doctors? Why do we have to send you? It's the New Year."

Liu Tong laughed and said, "Yes, there are, but their medical skills are nowhere near as good as mine."

"That's true."

The cult leader knew just how skilled his younger brother was in medicine.

He once challenged the notorious doctor Ping Yizhi, who was known for his murderous tendencies, and defeated him.

Ping Yizhi greatly admired Liu Tong and even considered becoming Liu Tong's apprentice to learn surgical techniques from him.

Liu Tong wanted to set off that very day, and the cult leader said to him, "I'll go with you."

During the Chinese New Year, the Sun Moon Cult also took a holiday and had no religious affairs. It was not a big deal for the cult leader to leave for a period of time; they simply said that the cult leader was in seclusion.

The leader only gets to meet with his younger brother once a year, and he doesn't want to be separated from him so soon.

Liu Tong agreed, "Okay."

The cult leader had his trusted confidants prepare two fast horses, and he and Liu Dong traveled day and night to reach the capital.

Liu Dong led the cult leader to a place outside a palace wall.

The cult leader exclaimed in surprise, "This is the Leopard House?!"

Although he had never been here before, how could the cult leader not know about the famous Leopard House?

This is a place built by the emperor for his recreation.

Cult Leader: "Your friend who you're trying to cure isn't Zhu Houzhao, is he?"

Liu Tong nodded: "It really is him."

Her acquaintance with Zhu Houzhao was accidental. This capricious emperor liked white dragon fish-patterned clothing and had a dispute with Liu Dong over the last basket of steamed buns, but they became friends afterward.

This person has a very good character. If he were a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person who lives in the martial arts world), he could definitely become someone like Lu Xiaofeng, someone who has friends all over the world. (End of this chapter)
