In fact, he was also a little surprised by his behavior just now. He would not behave like this under normal circumstances.

What caused his change?

Yue Buqun found that his mentality was different from before.

"That's not a bad thing."

Yue Buqun smiled, caught up with Ning Zhongze, and the two walked side by side.

……

The hall on top of the Blackwood Cliff already looked deserted, and at this moment it was even more eerie.

Several servants were cleaning the blood on the ground.

"The chief steward has been acting more and more strange lately."

A servant couldn't help but whispered.

"Shhh."

The others hurriedly tried to stop him, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no one around. One of them glared at the servant who had spoken.

"You dare to talk about the chief steward, do you want to die?"

The servant who spoke realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

Trouble comes from the mouth. If any of the servants present went to inform Yang Lianting, he would probably be killed.

The servant's face turned pale and he wanted to slap himself hard in the face.

But he fell silent, while the other servants seemed unable to stop talking, and after a while someone spoke again.

"Do you feel that the current religion has become a little strange?"

A servant spoke in a very low voice.

The other servants did not respond, but looked around the cold hall and made sure that there was no one around before they dared to respond.

"Yeah, it feels like there are fewer people in the Divine Church now."

These people were just servants of the Sun and Moon Sect. They had never left the Black Wood Cliff and were not clear about what was happening in the outside world. They just felt that there were fewer people in the Black Wood Cliff, especially some high-level officials, who had not been seen since they left the Black Wood Cliff.

"Are the Shaolin and Wudang sects going to attack our Divine Religion? That's why they went down the mountain."

one person asked.

Another servant laughed disdainfully.

"Although Shaolin and Wudang are also big sects, they are not as good as our Divine Religion. Even if they want to deal with the Divine Religion, what can they do? The Divine Religion is not afraid of anyone, and they dare not take any action against our Divine Religion."

The servant's words were full of contempt for Shaolin, Wudang and other righteous sects.

Not only him, but several other servants had the same expression.

"If that's not the case, why are so many people in the church going down the mountain recently?"

A servant said again.

The Black Wood Cliff is heavily guarded. Not only does one have to pass through numerous checkpoints to get up to it, but one also needs a token to go down the mountain. However, this servant accidentally discovered that some members of the church would sneak down the mountain during the gaps in the guards' duty when they did not have a token or order. He had doubts in his heart, but did not dare to say them out loud for fear of bringing disaster upon himself.

The other servants did not respond.

After a while.

"I did hear a piece of news, but I don't know if it's true."

A servant spoke up.

"what news?"

Others couldn't help but ask curiously.

The servant looked around. Although there was no one else around, he was still hesitant and did not dare to speak.

When others saw this, they hurriedly urged him on.

"Why don't you just tell me? Why are you keeping me in suspense?"

The servant said under the urging of several people: "I heard this from others. I don't know whether it is true or not. Don't tell anyone after hearing it."

The others quickly assured.

The servant then told what he had heard, speaking in a very low voice.

"I heard that there is a leader named Ren outside, who is using the name of the orthodox leader of the Divine Religion to make people in the cult abandon the dark and join the light."

"what?"

"what?"

The other servants widened their eyes and looked shocked when they heard this.

While they were talking, Yang Lianting had already passed through the long secret passage and arrived at the garden belonging to Dongfang Bubai.

Yang Lianting walked among the flowers with a gloomy face and stopped in front of a small house.

"Is it Brother Lian who is back? Come in."

The voice of Dongfang Bubai was heard from inside.

Yang Lianting stopped in front of the house, adjusted her facial expression and then walked into the cabin. She found that Dongfang Bubai was not embroidering as usual, but holding a cat.

Yang Lianting took a look and was about to speak when he suddenly realized there was someone else in the room. He turned his head and saw that person, but his adjusted expression turned sour again.

Yang Lianting wanted to speak, but when he saw Dongfang Bubai looking at him with a smile on his face, Yang Lianting swallowed his original words and sat down at a seat beside him, saying in a dull voice.

"Elder Tong."

Chapter 408: Tong Baixiong

Chapter 408: Tong Baixiong

This person is Tong Baixiong.

Tong Baixiong had white hair and beard, and a very burly figure. Sitting there he looked like a giant bear, with an invisible aura and sparkling eyes. It was extremely stressful to face him.

However, this extremely powerful old man seemed a little awkward at this moment.

Faced with Yang Lianting's proactive greeting, Tong Baixiong didn't know what to say and could only nod slightly as a gesture of acknowledgment.

Yang Lianting didn't care about his attitude and remained silent. However, he was surprised that Dongfang Bubai called Tong Baixiong here so quickly.

If Ren Woxing had not been released from the West Lake prison, and there had been drastic changes within the Sun Moon Sect, he would not have been able to sit here with Tong Baixiong.

You should know that not long ago he was planning to frame Tong Baixiong and get rid of him, and Tong Baixiong had even wanted to grind him to ashes.

It was good enough that the two didn't fight.

Of course, with Yang Lianting's kung fu skills, he would be beaten unilaterally by Tong Baixiong if a real fight broke out.

Yang Lianting didn't say anything else, and Tong Baixiong didn't look at him. He turned to look at Dongfang Bubai with an even more complicated look. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Dongfang... Sect Leader, you have not been involved in the affairs of the sect and have not shown up in public for these years. I never thought that you would live in seclusion in this place."

Tong Baixiong originally wanted to call Dongfang "brother", as he had called him that in the past. But after seeing Dongfang Bubai's current appearance, he couldn't even bring himself to call him "brother". He just felt awkward. After hesitating for a long time, he called Dongfang Bubai "leader".

Dongfang Bubai smiled slightly and lowered his head to stroke the cat in his arms.

The cat closed its eyes comfortably and glanced.

The voice of Dongfang Bubai also sounded.

"Brother Tong, how about my place?"

Tong Baixiong looked around and nodded.

“It’s a nice place with birds singing and flowers blooming.”

This was his first time here, and it was also the first time he knew that there was such a paradise in Heimu Cliff.

No matter how good the place was, Tong Baixiong didn't care. He looked at Dongfang Bubai and asked the doubts that had always been in his mind.

"Brother Dongfang, since you are in good health, why have you never shown up in the sect for so many years? Do you know that many brothers think... think..."

Tong Baixiong was a little excited and couldn't help but call out Brother Dongfang again.

Dongfang Bubai smiled calmly.

"Brother Tong, now that you have seen what I look like, how can I go out and meet them?"

Tong Baixiong's expression froze, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

Even he was shocked when he first saw Dongfang Bubai's appearance now, not to mention the expressions of other members of the Sun and Moon Sect when they saw Dongfang Bubai.

"But how did you become like this? You were not like this when I saw you a few years ago."

Tong Baixiong was very excited. He didn't understand why Dongfang Bubai had become like this.

"There's nothing wrong with me being like this now."

Dongfang Bubai smiled.

But Tong Baixiong was upset and released all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"You have not shown up in these years, and you have not summoned us brothers. We cannot see you even if we want to. And you let him take charge of the affairs of the church. We all thought that you have..."

Tong Baixiong didn't say all his words, but his meaning was clear.

Dongfang Bubai has not shown up for such a long time, leaving Yang Lianting in charge of all the power. Many senior members of the sect suspect that Dongfang Bubai was harmed by Yang Lianting or was held hostage by him.

Yang Lianting, who was standing by, could of course hear the hidden meaning in Tong Baixiong's words.

Old thing!

Yang Lianting cursed in his heart.

"You all think that I was harmed by Liandi, right?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled and said, "It was me who didn't let Brother Lian tell you, but you misunderstood Brother Lian."

Brother Lian?

Tong Baixiong couldn't help but frown. He looked at Yang Lianting, then at Dongfang Bubai, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

"Could it be that you..."
