Chapter 156: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (Part 7)
As soon as Tong Baixiong stepped into the meeting hall, he shouted loudly: "Brother Dongfang! I came to see you for something a while ago. Yang Lianting always said that you were out. It has been almost two months since he gave us an explanation. I was about to bring someone to call and have a look. After all, he created a bastard to pretend to be you, giving orders and misbehaving in the church. Why do you want to be manipulated by this guy? "
Elder Mo, who was following him, was startled by his words and quickly pulled him. Unexpectedly, Tong Baixiong threw him away and walked angrily to the hall, sat down and stared at Yun Lan. The other elders stood respectfully in silence, and the hall was surprisingly quiet.
Suddenly Yun Lan chuckled, breaking the silence in the room, "Brother Tong is still so quick to talk. I know this. What else do you want to report?" Yun Lan had previously ordered someone to move her embroidery frame. When I arrived at the meeting hall, I looked up at them and started embroidering seriously again.
Tong Baixiong was so angry that his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Are you going to expose this matter like this? You are only practicing your bullshit Sunflower Book. Do you know what the traitor Yang Lianting has done to the church?"
Yun Lan did not raise her head, and continued to move the needle in her hand, and said lightly: "I heard that Brother Tong and Ren Woxing have met?"
Tong Baixiong was startled, then laughed, his laughter full of sorrow and anger. He had already concluded that Yun Lan was deceived by Yang Lianting, and said angrily: "You think I colluded with Ren Woxing to rebel against you? I, Tong Baixiong, can sit upright Straight, don’t be afraid of being criticized!”
"Of course I know, but no matter what your behavior is, it makes Manager Yang very uneasy. He mistakenly thought that you wanted to rebel against me, so he made a fake one to appease you, and he rushed to do something to protect your safety. My status also protects his own status, he is not targeting you."
Hearing Yun Lan's faint voice, several other elders were so frightened that they knelt down to plead guilty. They expressed their loyalty one after another. They did not want to be accused of rebellion. Only Tong Baixiong was still standing opposite her, furious, "According to what you said, the person named Yang not only has no fault, but has made meritorious deeds?"
Yun Lan put down her needle and thread, raised her head and waved for everyone else to leave. She looked at Tong Baixiong and said with a smile, "Brother Tong, do you want to take the position of leader?"
Even though Tong Baixiong had always regarded Dongfang Bubai as his brother in his heart, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard these words, and hurriedly replied: "I have never thought of it this way! Don't let others instigate you."
Yun Lan nodded, stood up and walked to the window and said, "Brother Tong, you were injured and were rescued by my parents, which caused my parents to be killed by thieves." Seeing Tong Baixiong about to speak, Yun Lan raised her hand to stop him, He continued: "But you brought me into the religion and kept me alive. That year on the Taihang Mountains, I was besieged by the Seven Tigers of Ludong. I was seriously injured and was in danger. If you hadn't risked your life to save me, how could I have survived? today?"
Tong Baixiong didn't expect that she would bring up the old things. For a moment, most of the anger in his heart disappeared, and he said with emotion: "So you still remember these things."
Yun Lan smiled and said, "Why don't you remember? Brother, I will always remember the grace of saving my life. Later, when I took over the Sun Moon God Sect, Elder Luo of the Suzaku Hall refused to obey me and spoke out to stop him. It was you who killed him with one knife. It shocked the whole sect. From then on, no one in the sect dared to say anything different. This is all due to you."
Yun Lan turned around and walked to the table and motioned for Tong Baixiong to sit down. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. Tong Baixiong quickly took it with both hands. He didn't know what Yun Lan meant by this, so he had to remain silent. Yun Lan took a sip of tea and said, "To be honest with Brother Tong, Ren Woxing has been killed by me."
Tong Baixiong raised his head in surprise and said, "You killed him? Didn't you say that you were grateful for his kindness in meeting him and would not harm his life?"
Yun Lan smiled lightly and said: "That's because he was locked up in the dungeon. Now that he has escaped, he is my sworn enemy. Naturally, I will not be soft-hearted anymore."
Tong Baixiong looked at him blankly, sweat slowly breaking out on his back. If one day he dared to become an enemy of Brother Dongfang, he would probably be killed mercilessly, right? "You left Heimuya just to kill Ren Woxing?"
Yun Lan smiled and said: "That's not entirely true. I also went to the martial arts conference to watch the righteous people compete in martial arts. It's okay not to mention these. Xiang Wentian and Yingying knew that I was the one who would kill them, so they were gathering all the forces to want to do it. Attack Heimuya." He glanced at him and said, "When they come, I will pass the position of leader to Yingying."
Tong Baixiong shouted excitedly: "What? Are you crazy?"
Yun Lan shook her head and said with a smile: "Brother Tong, you know, I rebelled against him just because he forced me to a dead end and had to rebel. In fact, I don't like to exercise power. In recent years, because I have always been If you show up, the prestige of Saint Yingying in the church is higher than mine. I hope everyone in the church won’t react too much. However, you should be careful when Xiang Wentian comes back.”
Tong Baixiong's lips trembled and he said, "Have you made up your mind to leave?"
"Yes, regardless of Yang Lianting's character, he has never betrayed me in these years. As for his plan to kill you, punish him to go to the punishment hall to receive fifty big bans. Brother Tong doesn't remember the mistakes of villains, so don't pursue them. Right? When I step down as leader, he will leave too."
Tong Baixiong frowned and said, "You and him... you are really..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Lan understood what he meant and said funnyly: "How could it be! Although my brother has practiced the Sunflower Book, he is not really a woman yet. I will send him to a safe place. What happens in the future is none of my business. Brother Tong, let me ask you again, do you want the position of leader?"
Tong Baixiong was silent, carefully analyzing the future situation in his mind. Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying would not do anything to him, but they would not trust him or use him. If he became the leader, there were many people in the sect who were Ren Woxing's old subordinates. With his martial arts, it would be difficult to suppress them.
Yunlan finished drinking tea, took out a book and a roll of brocade from his sleeve and placed them in front of him, whispering: "There is no construction without destruction. If Brother Tong is interested, you might as well lead the people who support you to leave here and set up a new sect. This is a secret book I accidentally got. I will give it to Brother Tong today as a gift to congratulate you on becoming the leader."
Tong Baixiong picked up the book and opened it in confusion. His eyes widened immediately. It turned out to be "Yi Jin Jing"! He opened the brocade on one side, his hands couldn't stop shaking, raised his head and trembled: "The treasure of the Mingjiao, 'Qian Kun Da Neng Yi'?"
Yunlan nodded, "In this case, Brother Tong just needs to practice carefully, and he will definitely make a difference in the world in the future." After that, he stood up and returned to the embroidery frame to continue embroidering the unfinished pattern.
Tong Baixiong looked at the secret book in his hand, then at Yunlan, knowing that she had made up her mind, and did not persuade her any more. He just sighed and said, "Brother Dongfang, if you need me in the future, just ask me, but don't treat me as an outsider." Seeing Yunlan nodded in response, he carefully put away the secret book and left.
Since Yunlan clearly told him that he was going to abdicate, Yang Lianting quickly sold his property and prepared the things he wanted to take away. But he was unwilling and had no other choice, so he hid in his room for days and drank to relieve his sorrow. When he was taken to the Punishment Hall, he was still drunk and didn't know what happened. Then the severe pain in his body made him scream on the spot, and he sobered up.
Yang Lianting was held by two people and lay on the bench, unable to move, shouting, "You bunch of bastards, you dare to hit me? Aren't you afraid that the leader will punish you?"
The people behind him said nothing, just hit the board hard one by one. Elder Chen from the Punishment Hall came out from the inner hall and sneered, "This is the order from the leader himself. You falsely spread the leader's order and attempted to kill the elders of the sect. Now I only beat you with fifty boards, which is really a bargain for you! I advise you not to shout and scream anymore. If you anger the leader, it won't be a matter that can be solved by boards!" In fact, they still felt a little unfair. If such a big crime fell on someone else, he might be executed by slow slicing, but when it came to Yang Lianting, it was just a few boards. What kind of punishment is it if it doesn't hurt the tendons and bones!
But they didn't dare to disobey the leader's order. They had all taken the Three Corpse Brain Pill. Without the leader's antidote, when the poison took effect, the corpse worms would invade their brains and become like ghosts and monsters, biting and eating people. Therefore, even if they were dissatisfied with Dongfang Bubai in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it.
After Yang Lianting was punished, Yun Lan pressed his sleeping point and sent him to a small island. He set up a formation around him to keep him safe, then took out the things he prepared from the space and put them next to him. He also left him a boat and returned to Blackwood Cliff. Yang Lianting is the kind of person who will not die if he does not commit suicide. If he is left by his side, he might cause trouble again. It is too troublesome. It is better to send him away early.
Before everyone in the sect could react to Yang Lianting's sudden disappearance, something happened that shocked the whole sect. Dongfang Sect Leader, who had not appeared for many years, suddenly summoned all the sect members to the Holy Fire Hall for a meeting. In the past few years, the new sect members have never seen the Sect Leader, and have only heard about the Sect Leader's deeds. They were all excited for this collective meeting, standing below and whispering. The old sect members who knew Dongfang Bubai's temperament all stood with their heads down honestly, worried that the Sect Leader would come up with some way to control them.
Yun Lan came out of the inner hall and walked slowly towards the chair on the high platform. The followers instantly quieted down. She tied all her hair on top of her head, wore a tall hat, and dressed in a red, layered, and particularly solemn leader's uniform. Her every move was full of dominance.
Yun Lan flicked her wide sleeves and sat down facing the crowd. She raised her fingers slightly and ordered the newly appointed General Manager Fang to speak for her.
General Manager Fang bowed respectfully, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "The Sun and Moon Sect has developed to this day, with too many followers and heavy religious affairs. Now the Sun and Moon Sect will be divided into two, namely the 'Sun Chen Sect' and the 'Fantasy Moon Sect'."
The crowd below suddenly became noisy, and the elders all looked up at Yun Lan in astonishment. Only Tong Baixiong and his several confidants looked at each other and prepared for the next tough battle. Although the leader had paved the way for him, it was not an easy task to convince the followers to leave Black Wood Cliff with him.
