The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

After saying only four words, Tong Baixiong could not continue speaking, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Once it makes sense, everything makes sense.

No wonder Dongfang Bubai promoted Yang Lianting from the lowest level of the Sun Moon Sect all the way up in the past few years, and even created a new position of chief steward for him.

Got it, he understood everything.

Tong Baixiong couldn't help feeling a sense of absurdity and even more of desolation.

He felt like his worldview was about to collapse.

"Brother Tong, I asked you to come here today, and you should know why."

Dongfang Bubai did not respond to Tong Baixiong's words, but instead brought up other topics.

Although Tong Baixiong's emotions were changing greatly at the moment, when he heard Dongfang Bubai's question, he calmed down and nodded.

"Is this the reason why Ren Woxing appeared?"

Ren Woxing's return to the martial arts world was in a grand manner, and as the elder and leader of Fenglei Hall, he was naturally aware of it.

"good."

Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yang Lianting and said, "I heard that some people in the sect have chosen to leave Blackwood Cliff and join Ren Woxing, and support Ren Woxing as the leader of the Divine Sect."

"absurd!"

As soon as Dongfang Bubai finished speaking, Tong Baixiong became furious.

"There is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two leaders in a religion. Although Ren Woxing once served as the leader of the religion, you are the leader of the Divine Religion now. They actually supported Ren Woxing, the former leader, to seize power. Isn't this an act of usurpation and rebellion?"

Dongfang Bubai was not surprised by his reaction, but Yang Lianting was a little surprised.

Is this old guy Tong Baixiong so loyal to Dongfang Bubai?

"Brother Tong, Ren Woxing has escaped from the predicament and has won over many people in the sect to regain the position of leader. The Divine Sect is about to fall apart. I hope you can stand on my side."

The undefeated path of the East.

Tong Baixiong's excited heart cooled down instantly.

"You want me to help you deal with Ren Woxing?"

Dongfang Bubai nodded.

Tong Baixiong didn't say anything else.

"Since you are fine, I will definitely support you as the leader. Apart from you, I, Tong Baixiong, will never recognize anyone else as the leader of the Divine Religion."

Tong Baixiong was very determined.

And Dongfang Bubai was not surprised by his answer.

In fact, when Ren Woxing was still the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, Tong Baixiong and Ren Woxing were not on good terms. Ren Woxing was too domineering, had his way in the sect, and was extremely cruel. Tong Baixiong was very dissatisfied with him. If Ren Woxing had not been imprisoned in the West Lake Jail by Dongfang Bubai later, with Tong Baixiong's personality, he would definitely have been dealt with by Ren Woxing.

"Brother Dongfang, you shouldn't be so soft-hearted."

Tong Baixiong said.

He is not a fool. Back then, Ren Woxing was in seclusion practicing martial arts and suddenly disappeared. Later, Dongfang Bubai successfully took over as the leader, and Ren Woxing also disappeared. He knew in his heart that it must be Dongfang Bubai's doing. He didn't know whether he killed Ren Woxing or imprisoned him. But now Ren Woxing has reappeared in the world, which means that Dongfang Bubai did not kill him back then, but just imprisoned him somewhere. Now that he has escaped, Tong Baixiong feels that Dongfang Bubai did not do it thoroughly enough, so he is in big trouble now.

"If you hadn't ignored the Divine Cult over the years, causing it to fall apart, even if Ren Woxing reappeared in the world, it would be impossible for so many people in the cult to join him."

After seeing with his own eyes that Dongfang Bubai was fine, Tong Baixiong's long-standing worries disappeared, but at this moment he couldn't help but complain a little.

If Dongfang Bubai had not allowed Yang Lianting to do whatever he wanted, things would not have come to this point today.

Yang Lianting was furious when he was implied again.

Old thing!

Chapter 409: The overall structure of the Sun Moon Sect

"After I became the leader, although everyone in the church called me the leader, many of them still had disloyalty and supported Ren Woxing, pretending to obey my orders but secretly disobeying them. That's why I asked Brother Lian to purge the church, and Brother Lian's methods were a bit drastic."

Seeing how obviously Dongfang Bubai was protecting Yang Lianting, Tong Baixiong was speechless.

What else could he say.

"Who are the people who have joined Ren Woxing now?"

Tong Baixiong said after calming down.

The most important thing now is how many people in the church have gone to Ren Woxing's side.

Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yang Lianting.

Yang Lianting understood, and although he was reluctant, he still told the truth.

"Among the top leaders of the Divine Religion, Xiang Wentian, the Left Envoy of Light, and five of the ten elders, Bao Dachu, Wen, Ge, Du, and Qiu, have pledged their allegiance to Ren Woxing."

Tong Baixiong's face turned ugly.

The most powerful position in the organizational structure of the Sun-Moon Sect is the leader, that is, Dongfang Bubai. Below him are the left and right envoys of light, and below them are the ten elders. These thirteen positions constitute the core power structure of the Sun-Moon Sect's top leaders.

However, now Yang Lianting told him that six of the top leaders of the Sun Moon Sect had already sided with Ren Woxing, which was more than half.

Apart from Dongfang Bubai, there are twelve positions below, but the position of Right Envoy of Light is empty. Among the ten elders, Qu Yang was kicked out by Yang Lianting a long time ago, and is still being hunted down.

That is to say, if we exclude Dongfang Bubai and the position of chief steward that he specially set up for Yang Lianting, there are only ten senior leaders of the Sun and Moon Sect at present.

However, six of the ten people have already rebelled, and such a serious situation cannot help but make Tong Baixiong solemn.

"correct."

Yang Lianting added: "White Tiger Hall Master Shangguan Yun and the entire White Tiger Hall have sided with Ren Woxing."

Tong Baixiong's face changed when he heard this.

Below the ten elders are the twelve halls, namely the Azure Dragon Hall, White Tiger Hall, Vermillion Bird Hall, Black Tortoise Hall, Wind and Thunder Hall, and Sky Wind Hall. Each hall is in charge of various incense halls and flags. Together with the Seven Star Messengers who are in charge of intelligence and assassinations, they make up the entire Sun and Moon Sect.

Each of the twelve halls has three positions: elder, hall master, and deputy hall master. Shangguan Yun is the elder of the White Tiger Hall and also serves as the hall master.

Among these twelve halls, Qinglong Hall is the strongest and has the highest status, followed by Baihu Hall. Now Yang Lianting told him that Shangguan Yun and the entire Baihu Hall have sided with Ren Woxing. The shock in Tong Baixiong's heart is almost comparable to the feeling he had when he first met Dongfang Bubai today.

"Why would Shangguan Yun make such a decision?"

Tong Baixiong said in shock and anger.

He didn't lose his composure like this even when he heard that five of the ten elders had sided with Ren Woxing.

Although the ten elders have a higher status than Shangguan Yun and the heads of their twelve halls, they have no real power. If they want to command these hall heads, they can only do so during the war between the righteous and the evil, or when the leader gives the order. Otherwise, they have no right to order them to do things at other times.

So when Tong Baixiong heard that one of the elders had rebelled, he just felt solemn, but at this moment he could no longer sit still.

He didn't understand why Shangguan Yun wanted to rebel. You have to know that Shangguan Yun was already the head of the White Tiger Hall. Although he had the positions of the Left and Right Envoys of Light and the Ten Elders above him, to be honest, those people above him did not live as comfortably as he did. Now that Shangguan Yun chose to rebel, Tong Baixiong was very puzzled and very angry.

"..."

Yang Lianting didn't say anything. He was also shocked when he heard the news, and then he wished he could grind Shangguan Yun to ashes.

At this time, Dongfang Bubai spoke.

"Shangguan Yun is conceited that he joined the sect early and has a lot of experience. He thinks he is capable of being the head of the Qinglong Hall. But I did not do as he wished and chose to promote Jia Bu to be the head of the Qinglong Hall. Although he has not said it openly over the years, he may have some complaints about me in secret, thinking that I don't know how to judge people."

Dongfang Bubai laughed.

"Now that Ren Woxing has reappeared in the martial arts world and wants to compete with me for the position of the leader, and I have no longer appeared in the sect, he probably thought that something happened to me, so he threw himself into Ren Woxing's arms."

Tong Baixiong remained silent upon hearing this. In fact, he didn't understand why Dongfang Bubai didn't promote Shangguan Yun, but instead promoted Jia Bu, who was not as good as him.

Dongfang Bubai spoke softly as he stated his reasons for promoting Jia Bu.

"Shangguan Yun's martial arts skills are indeed good, and he is indeed much stronger than Jia Bu, but he is not as loyal as Jia Bu. If I ask Jia Bu to commit suicide, Jia Bu will not hesitate at all, but Shangguan Yun may not."

Tong Baixiong remained silent.

"Besides Shangguan Yun and the White Tiger Hall, are there any other hall elders who have rebelled?"

Tong Baixiong did not mention Shangguan Yun's matter again and continued to ask.

Yang Lianting took the initiative to say: “In addition to the White Tiger Hall, the Divine Sky Hall, the Red Fire Hall, the East Wood Hall, and the West Gold Hall also rebelled.”

Yang Lianting mentioned the names of four gangs in succession, and together with the White Tiger Gang, a total of five gangs rebelled.

However, Tong Baixiong's reaction after hearing the names of these gangs was not as big as before.

These four halls are ranked low among the twelve halls of the Sun Moon Sect. Their strength is not as good as that of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise halls, and they are even inferior to his Wind and Thunder Hall.

The Fenglei Hall is ranked only below the Azure Dragon, White Tiger Hall and other four Halls in the Twelve Halls. Its strength is quite strong. The strength of one hall is equal to the combined strength of the Red Fire and West Gold Halls, not to mention the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise and Vermillion Bird Halls.

After learning about these situations, Tong Baixiong breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for the White Tiger Hall, the other three of the four major halls are in their hands, so they still have some advantages.

"In that case, Brother Dongfang, just give the order directly. I, Tong Baixiong, will never be vague about what to do."

Tong Baixiong said directly.

Dongfang Bubai smiled and said, "Brother Tong, the most urgent task is to stabilize the current Divine Religion, prevent others from having disloyal intentions, and stabilize our strength."

Tong Baixiong nodded.

This is indeed the case.

Dongfang Bubai thought for a moment and said, "Since you killed the last elder Luo in the Suzaku Hall, there has been no elder to take up this vacancy. Then, Brother Tong, you will take up the position and concurrently serve as the head of the Fenglei Hall."

The head of each of the twelve halls of the Sun and Moon Sect is the second in command, and the elders of each hall are the first in command. Normally, the elders also serve as the heads of their own halls, just like Tong Baixiong.

Tong Baixiong was originally the elder and master of Fenglei Hall, and now he also serves as the elder of Suzaku Hall. When Yang Lianting heard the news, his pupils contracted.

The power given to Dongfang Bubai is too great.

The strength of Suzaku Hall ranks third among the twelve halls, and Fenglei Hall ranks fifth. Now Tong Baixiong alone controls these two halls. His strength is terrifying, directly surpassing Jia Bu's Qinglong Hall. His status is rising sharply. In the current Sun Moon Sect, he is probably second only to Dongfang Bubai.

Chapter 410: Let Him Grow

Chapter 410: Let Him Grow

The power that Dongfang Bubai gave to Tong Baixiong was so great that even he could not match it.

After all, he only became the chief steward thanks to the favor bestowed by Dongfang Bubai, but Tong Baixiong was a man of real power.

Yang Lianting looked unhappy.
