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

Ren Woxing's face was already extremely ugly, but after this person spoke, it became even colder, as if he hated this person to the core.

"The East! Is! Invincible!"

Ren Woxing gritted his teeth and shouted out each word clearly.

Ren Woxing originally thought he had been able to control his hatred for Dongfang Bubai, but when he actually saw Dongfang Bubai, his anger and hatred still burst forth.

But after the initial hatred, Ren Woxing was stunned when he saw Dongfang Bubai's appearance again, followed by surprise and pleasure.

"Dongfang Bubai, what happened to you? Hahahaha."

Ren Woxing said something in surprise, and then burst into hearty laughter.

Not only Ren Woxing, but everyone else looked incredulous when they saw Dongfang Bubai, especially the former members of the Sun Moon Cult.

Is this Dongfang Bubai?

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong, who were in the crowd, were also surprised.

So this is what it means to be the best in the world.

However, this outfit feels a bit strange.

"hehe."

Unfazed by Ren Woxing's laughter and the gazes of the others, Dongfang Bubai waved his hand casually and adjusted the hem of his robe.

"Ren Woxing!"

Yang Lianting, standing to the left of Dongfang Bubai, shouted sternly.

"The Eastern Cult Leader is here! How dare you kneel and pay your respects? What is your punishment for being an insubordinate in this place!"

Ren Woxing gave him a cold look and chuckled coldly.

"You're Yang Lianting? The one the sect calls the Grand Steward?"

"Humph!"

Yang Lianting snorted coldly. "Not bad."

Ren Woxing sneered.

"What Grand Steward? I've never heard of such a position when I was in charge of the cult. Who do you think you are to speak to me?"

“When I was teaching, there were plenty of people like you in the sect. You were only fit to be servants. How could Dongfang Bubai let someone like you hold power in the sect and harm many brothers? Dongfang Bubai, I think you’ve gone stupid from practicing martial arts.”

Ren Woxing's words made Yang Lianting's face turn red and then pale, clearly showing that he was extremely angry, but he couldn't think of any words to refute them.

Because Ren Woxing was right; when Ren Woxing was still the leader of the cult, he was just a servant.

"hehe."

Dongfang Bubai laughed at this moment.

"Master Ren still speaks in such an aggressive manner."

"Humph!"

Ren Woxing sneered. "Dongfang Bubai, you didn't expect this, did you? I escaped from the bottom of West Lake prison. Do you regret not killing me back then?"

"regret?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled slightly.

“Leader Ren, you passed on the Sunflower Manual to me back then, promoted me all the way to the Left Guardian of Light, and even designated me as the next leader of the Divine Sect. I have always remembered your kindness, how could I kill you?”

"good?"

Ren Woxing laughed in anger: "So you kept me locked up at the bottom of West Lake for more than ten years?"

"You didn't die either? You're out here now."

One sentence from Dongfang Bubai ignited Ren Woxing's anger.

"That's right! I'm out now, all thanks to my daughter Yingying. If it weren't for Yingying's efforts over the years to find out that you locked me up at the bottom of West Lake, I probably would never have seen the light of day again."

Dongfang Bubai smiled slightly upon hearing this: "How could you not know that I deliberately let you out?"

Ren Woxing shouted.

"Don't try to be clever. Are you trying to say that you deliberately let Yingying rescue me?"

Dongfang Bubai laughed but did not answer.

The exchange between the two left everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment.

Why are you guys chatting? Are you still going to fight or not?

Linghu Chong gripped his weapon tightly, constantly watching his surroundings, quite tense, preparing for a battle at any moment.

Jiang Ning felt alright. He wasn't too concerned about the upcoming battle, and his gaze lingered between Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai.

"Master!"

At this moment, Shangguan Yun said fiercely, "There are no more of Dongfang Bubai's men left at Blackwood Cliff. How dare he spout such nonsense here? Isn't this disrespectful to the leader? Just give the leader's order, and your subordinates will capture Dongfang Bubai and bring him before you."

Ren Woxing remained silent in the face of Shangguan Yun's suggestion.

He felt that there must be something fishy about why Dongfang Bubai dared to wait for him like this without stopping him.

Ren Woxing looked at the two people besides Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting.

He knew both of them; one was Tong Baixiong, and the other was Jia Bu, the leader of the Azure Dragon Hall.

Tong Baixiong was a burly man who held a single-edged sword in his hand as he looked at them. Although he was old, his imposing manner was undiminished.

"Elder Tong, Jia Bu."

Ren Woxing looked at the two of them.

"Dongfang Bubai employed someone like Yang Lianting to harm his fellow cult members, leading to their current isolation and betrayal. You two are still going to continue this practice. Considering your contributions to the cult, I will give you a chance. If you abandon the darkness and embrace the light now, I will still give you important positions."

Faced with Ren Woxing's offer of recruitment, Dongfang Bubai smiled but remained silent.

Tong Baixiong said, "I have been sworn brothers with the Eastern Cult Leader for decades, sharing life and death. I, Tong Baixiong, am loyal only to him. Even if he wants me to die, I will not flinch."

Two people in the crowd were taken aback when they saw Tong Baixiong.

"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.
