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

Tong Baixiong said solemnly.

"I expected this to happen."

Dongfang Bubai did not look up and continued doing her embroidery.

"In that case, I will send someone to contact Ren Woxing as soon as possible to discuss joining forces..."

Before Tong Baixiong could finish speaking, Dongfang Bubai shook his head.

"Ren Woxing will not agree."

Tong Baixiong was about to say something more when he heard this, but Dongfang Bubai continued.

"Brother Tong, don't you know who Ren Woxing is? I've imprisoned him for so many years, and he claims to be the true leader of the Divine Cult. He hates me to the bone, so why would he join forces with me?"

Tong Baixiong was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked.

"Brother Dongfang, what should we do now? We can't just sit here and wait to die, no matter what."

Dongfang Bubai smiled.

"I have already made arrangements in secret."

"Ok?"

Tong Baixiong was taken aback.

What arrangement? How come he didn't know?

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai did not speak, Tong Baixiong did not continue to ask.

"Now that you have made arrangements, I can rest assured."

Tong Baixiong stood up, cupped his hands in farewell, and took his leave.

Only after Tong Baixiong's figure disappeared did Yang Lianting ask, "Have you already made arrangements?"

In Yang Lianting’s view, Dongfang Bubai had never left the place, and he didn’t even know when he made the arrangement.

Dongfang Bubai did not hide anything and said, "I have planted someone next to Ren Woxing."

"what?"

Yang Lianting was taken aback.

When did this happen? How come he doesn't know?

After quickly absorbing the information, Yang Lianting asked, "Do you still want to join forces with Ren Woxing?"

"of course not."

Dongfang Bubai laughed and said, "Everyone knows that Ren Woxing's days are numbered, so why should I join forces with him?"

Although the imperial court was weakened, it had not perished; it was still a unified dynasty. The imperial court had issued an edict, and the righteous path had also issued a proclamation. Ren Woxing was now on the opposite side of almost everyone, and he was doomed to die.

"So what's your intention in placing people around Ren Woxing...?"

Yang Lianting did not understand Dongfang Bubai's thoughts.

"Ren Woxing may die, but his men may not necessarily die with him."

In addition to half of the original Demonic Sect's forces, Ren Woxing also had many Jianghu forces controlled by Ren Yingying, and these forces should not be underestimated.

These people were loyal to Ren Woxing while he was alive, but what happened after he died? Those who committed heinous crimes would not be tolerated by the righteous path, nor would the imperial court let them go. Where could they go?

"I see."

Yang Lianting nodded.

Dongfang Bubai's original intention was to turn those people against their cause.

However, Yang Lianting was somewhat displeased.

"Humph!"

Yang Lianting snorted coldly.

"Those bastards actually dared to be loyal to Ren Woxing, which is a capital offense in itself. Now we're going to take them back. It's too good for them!"

Dongfang Bubai laughed upon hearing this, but did not elaborate on the matter. Instead, he asked, "How is the refining of the Three Corpse Brain God Pill going?"

When asked about serious matters, Yang Lianting said solemnly, "The first batch has been successfully refined and is currently in the testing phase. The results are quite good so far, and we are now refining the antidote to suppress the Three Corpse Brain God Pill."

Since obtaining the recipe for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill from Ren Woxing, Yang Lianting has attached great importance to it and immediately sent people to start making it. However, the Three Corpse Brain God Pill is very troublesome to refine, and even with the recipe, he failed many times. It was not until recently that he finally succeeded in making a batch.

As for the antidote...

There is no antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. The so-called antidote only temporarily suppresses the Three Corpse Brain God Pill and prolongs its onset time.

"As long as the Three Corpse Brain God Pill can be successfully refined, the revival of the Divine Cult is hopeful!"

Yang Lianting couldn't help but smile.

At that time, he will be able to hold great power and sit on the throne of the cult leader.

"Brother Lian."

Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai called out.

"how?"

Yang Lianting was still thinking when he casually asked a question.

"If I said we'd leave this place, give up being cult leaders, and stop caring about the conflicts in the martial world, and live in seclusion in the mountains as a pair of carefree hermits, would you be willing?"

"what?"

Yang Lianting was clearly taken aback.

How could Dongfang Bubai have such an idea?

How could he agree? He hasn't even become the leader yet, enjoying a life above everyone else. How could he abandon the religion and its followers to live a life of leisure?

Seeing his expression, Dongfang Bubai understood his answer, laughed, and shook his head.

"nothing."

Chapter 687: Heaven is helping me!

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai did not continue, Yang Lianting quickly changed the subject.

"Tong Baixiong's words make sense. After dealing with Ren Woxing, those sects will also turn their attention to us."

Dongfang Bubai laughed.

"It's nothing more than starting another war."

In the early years of his leadership, he was ambitious and led his followers in countless battles against the righteous sects. Now, it's just another big battle.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai so calm, Yang Lianting's heart gradually calmed down, and he nodded.

“Our Divine Sect is invincible under heaven. As the leader, you rule the four seas, so you are naturally not afraid. However, I have never seen those righteous sects mobilize so much before. I am afraid that they have united as one and are determined to oppose our Divine Sect to the end. Even if our Divine Sect can win, it will inevitably suffer damage.”

Yang Lianting was still somewhat worried.

After all, although he was the Grand Steward of the sect, second only to the leader, he had only been in that position for a few years. Before that, he was just an insignificant servant. Moreover, the martial world had been quite quiet in recent years, and the righteous path had not prepared for such a large-scale war. This was the first time for him, so he inevitably felt somewhat uneasy.

Dongfang Bubai glanced at him and laughed.

"There's no need to worry too much; they may not be of one mind."

Yang Lianting was surprised.

"Oh? What makes you say that?"

Dongfang Bubai originally didn't want to talk about these things, but in order to comfort Yang Lianting, he had no choice but to patiently recount the past of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and Shaolin.

Yang Lianting was astonished.

The Huashan Sect was originally very powerful, but it was actually brought down by Shaolin using a Sunflower Manual?

Was the Songshan Sect also supported by Shaolin?

If Dongfang Bubai hadn't told him himself, Yang Lianting wouldn't have believed it at all.

Dongfang Bubai was still speaking at this moment.

"Shaolin has always used the Five Mountains Sword Sect to restrain my Divine Sect, or rather, my Divine Sect to restrain the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Now the Five Mountains Sword Sect has disintegrated and the Songshan Sect has been destroyed, but a more troublesome Weiyi Alliance has been born, which is uncontrollable for Shaolin."

Upon hearing this, Yang Lianting couldn't help but express his opinion.

"If that's the case, why doesn't Shaolin continue to sit back and watch the tigers fight? As long as Ren Woxing is alive, he can keep the Weiyi Alliance in check, and Shaolin can rest easy."

"Oh."

Dongfang Bubai laughed out loud.

"Who told him to court death?"

Ren Woxing's appearance was unexpected by everyone, but Fang Zheng was certainly happy at first because Ren Woxing was not like him. Ren Woxing was ambitious and would definitely cause chaos in the martial arts world. At the same time, he had a deep hatred for sects such as Huashan, and he could better restrain the Weiyi Alliance and weaken its strength.

But Ren Woxing insisted on attacking the Beggars' Sect, forcing Shaolin to intervene prematurely. He also angered the imperial court, which issued an imperial edict. Ren Woxing was courting death; if he didn't die, who would?

"Ren Woxing has now driven himself into a dead end. He may not realize it himself, but the old abbot of Shaolin must understand. So no matter what, Ren Woxing must die."

Ren Woxing is too good at stirring up trouble. The situation in the martial arts world is gradually slipping out of Fang Zheng's control, and Ren Woxing is the core of this problem. Fang Zheng probably wants Ren Woxing dead now.

Yang Lianting nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Ren Woxing has now become everyone's enemy. Everyone wants him dead. He has nowhere to go. But Ren Woxing can die, but what happens after he dies?"

Yang Lianting wasn't stupid; he quickly understood and asked in surprise, "You mean Shaolin wants us to restrain the Weiyi Alliance?"

Fang Zheng hopes that Ren Woxing will die, but he may not necessarily want the Divine Cult to be destroyed. If the Divine Cult is really destroyed, who will be able to restrain the Weiyi Alliance?

"Humph."

Despite understanding the situation, Yang Lianting couldn't help but sneer.

"Shaolin has a good plan. Do they think their mere few thousand Shaolin disciples are qualified to be pawns of my Divine Cult? I will send tens of thousands of my followers to storm Shaoshi Mountain and slaughter them all!"

"Shaolin is not just a few thousand Shaolin disciples."

Dongfang Bubai laughed and said, "As the saying goes, all martial arts under heaven originated from Shaolin. Although it is a bit of an exaggeration, it is not far off. More than half of the martial arts practitioners in the world learned their skills from Shaolin. As for the others, they all have some connection with Shaolin. Moreover, Shaolin's lay disciples are almost everywhere in the world. Shaolin's influence is far more than you think."
