The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

"Boss Li, the sect leader and this man are both dead!"

At this moment, the Beggar Clan disciples who had accompanied Li Xiao rushed out to check on the fate of Wu Xiangzhu and another fierce figure, and the result was self-evident.

"Take the body away!"

Li Xiao gave an order, then turned to Jia Huan, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be invisible, and said, "Brother Jia, you'd better explain why you're here."

"Also, Brother Jia, when did your martial arts skills become so formidable? You should explain that properly!"

"I didn't even have the confidence to escape with my life from the hands of the elite disciples of the Hengshan Sect!"

The killing of Hua Rongxiang Master was taken very seriously by the Beggars' Sect's higher-ups.

Immediately, Zhang Jinbie, the leader of the Yuezhou headquarters and a high-ranking member of the Seven Bags faction, was dispatched to personally intervene.

This is perfectly normal!

Hua Rong Xiang Tang is affiliated with the Yuezhou headquarters and is not far from the Beggars' Sect's Junshan Island headquarters.

In other words, Huarong Incense Hall is an important incense hall directly under the Beggars' Sect headquarters!

The fact that its incense master had an extra burlap sack compared to the incense masters of other branches is the best proof of this.

This time, however, the leader of Huarong was on his own turf when a passing Hengshan Sect disciple intervened to help him. The Beggar Clan's higher-ups couldn't sleep soundly until they found out the reason.

And so, Jia Huan met the Beggar Clan leader who had appeared in the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

At this time, Zhang Jinbie was just over thirty years old and exuded a sharp and fierce aura.

At first glance, you can tell they're not someone to mess with.

Faced with the questioning from this leader of the Beggars' Sect, Jia Huan remained calm, but his face showed a hint of panic, which was quite in line with his age and mental state at this time.

"That grove of trees is not far from the mountain god temple stronghold. I usually practice martial arts there!"

"Weren't you going to take your men to the city to make a living? How come you have time to practice martial arts?"

"Master, I have a knack for hunting wild game in the wild, and catching fish and shrimp is no problem for me. I don't need to go to the city to make a living, and I can also help my brothers complete their missions very well!"

"Tell me in detail what exactly happened that day!"

"While I was practicing martial arts, the sect leader and another man rushed over covered in blood. Two Hengshan Sect disciples chased after them and killed them both with two swords!"

"And then, I heard that Lu Lianrong of the Hengshan Sect attacked you?"

"Yes, this guy is quite unreasonable. When he heard me call him 'Fragrance Master,' he said that I was in cahoots with the Fragrance Master and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, Liu Zhengfeng, who was next to me, didn't make a move!"

"As far as I know, Lu Lianrong is already a third-rate martial arts master. How could you possibly survive against him?"

"Perhaps the opponent was careless and underestimated me. Also, I have quite a bit of skill in practicing the Taizu Staff Technique. I barely managed to withstand a few moves before being knocked to the ground. Fortunately, Brother Li and the others arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable!"

"How are you feeling right now? Are you able to practice the Taizu staff technique?"

As for the weapon that was half silk and half bamboo, Zhang Jinbie had naturally examined it carefully and did not notice anything wrong with it.

All I can say is that Jia Huan, this Beggar Clan disciple, was incredibly lucky!

Without uttering any unnecessary words, Jia Huan picked up a bamboo pole and began to wield the Taizu staff technique with fluid grace.

That was truly a feast for the eyes; at least in terms of the mastery of the Taizu's staff techniques, he had reached a level of consummate skill.

"Good, good, good! I didn't expect that you would have reached such a level of skill in the Taizu staff technique at such a young age. It's truly remarkable!"

Zhang Jinbie's eyes lit up; with his martial arts skills, he naturally saw through the clues.

Jia Huan's use of the Taizu staff technique had definitely reached a very advanced level.

However, he lacked internal energy; otherwise, he could easily have joined the ranks of third-rate martial arts masters.

Even against a third-rate martial arts master, it's not impossible to barely withstand a few or even a dozen moves if the opponent doesn't use their full strength.

"You flatter me, Master!"

After Jia Huan finished performing a set of Taizu staff techniques, his face was ruddy and his spirits were high. He put away the bamboo pole and said with a wry smile, "I never expected to encounter such a thing. I also have no ability to rescue the incense master!"

"It has nothing to do with you; you're just an innocent bystander!"

Zhang Jinbie waved his hand, his expression rather unpleasant.

After all, Wu Xiangzhu was an important subordinate of his. How could he not be angry when the disciples of Hengshan Sect suddenly acted chivalrously against him?

Unfortunately, the Hengshan Sect was powerful, and Wu Xiangzhu was in the wrong, which gave him a real headache.

Before coming, they had naturally investigated what Wu Xiangzhu had done and what he had encountered.

It's just a cliché story of a bully's actions being rectified by a passing knight-errant.

Unfortunately, one of their own people is the villain in the story, which inevitably makes them feel embarrassed and awkward.

In the past, if he had suddenly discovered a Beggar Clan disciple with such remarkable martial arts talent as Jia Huan, he would definitely have taken the opportunity to discover and nurture him.

But he wasn't in the mood for that now. Since the matter had been clarified, he waved for Jia Huan, who had been cleared of suspicion, to leave.

But Jia Huan did not leave; instead, he stood there, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Brother Jia, do you have anything else to say? Get out of here at once!"

Li Xiao, a disciple of Tongxiang Hall standing to the side, spoke up in an annoyed tone.

The other two disciples of Tongxiangtang, who were also minor leaders, rolled their eyes.

Jia Huan ignored them and stared intently at Zhang Jinbie, as if he had something to tell him in secret.

As for the other minor leaders of Tongxiangtang, they just wanted to show off in front of Zhang Jingbie, hoping to gain favor and take over the position of head of the incense hall.

Don't underestimate the power of a mere Beggar Clan leader who oversees the disciples of a county; he can make a lot of money.

Especially someone like the dead ghost Wu Xiangzhu, who runs all sorts of filthy businesses with great success, earning a considerable income every year, enough for him to amass a substantial fortune.

Although Wu Xiangzhu has passed away, the 'trade routes' he pioneered are still there, and it wouldn't be difficult to take them over.

"Oh, is there anything else you'd like to say? Just say it!"

Zhang Jinbie was somewhat impatient, but he had no intention of getting angry at Jia Huan, a low-level second-bag disciple.

Seeing that Zhang Jingbie had no intention of discussing this privately, Jia Huan naturally didn't want to offend anyone, so he deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Master, do you know the background of the man who was killed along with the sect leader?"

"Oh, we haven't been able to find out this guy's background. Do you know anything about it?"

Zhang Jinbie became interested and asked curiously, "Tell me about it!"

The reason I didn't pay attention was simply because I thought that guy might be one of the cronies of the dead Wu Xiangzhu.

The saying "birds of a feather flock together" perfectly illustrates this principle.

"Master, that guy is very likely a disciple of the Demonic Sect!"

Jia Huan's voice wasn't loud, but to Zhang Jinbie and the others it sounded like thunder, causing their faces to change drastically and them to sit up in shock.

"How did you find out?"

After a long while, Zhang Jinbie finally managed to regain his composure. Ignoring the pale faces of the other minor leaders, he asked directly, "Don't make baseless accusations; that's no joke!"

As he spoke, his aura suddenly became powerful, pressing down on Jia Huan like Mount Tai.

It wasn't that he was making a fuss, but rather that this matter was far too important.

If the Five Mountains Alliance were to discover that the Beggars' Sect disciples were colluding with the Demonic Sect, the consequences would be no joke.

The Five Mountains Alliance and the Demonic Sect are sworn enemies, like fire and water.

They might even unite and target the Beggars' Sect!

Given the Beggars' Sect's current strength, they simply cannot withstand the attack, and there is even a risk of the sect being wiped out.

This is no joke!

"This...this...isn't the sect leader involved in the child abduction and begging business? The person he dealt with was that same demonic sect disciple who was also killed. This was something the sect leader said unintentionally!"

Jia Huan looked panicked, his body suddenly hunched over, and his forehead was instantly covered with a layer of cold sweat.

"Is that so?"

Zhang Jinbie stared intently at Jia Huan, his tone quite unfriendly.

"That's right, I would never lie to the leader!"

Jia Huan stammered, "I know this is a big deal, and I've never let it slip out!"

"That's good!"

Zhang Jinbie breathed a long sigh of relief. Judging from the reactions of the two Hengshan Sect disciples, they definitely didn't know that the one who was killed was a member of the Demonic Sect, otherwise they wouldn't have left so easily.

Given the deep-seated hatred between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demonic Sect, they should at least wipe out the entire Hua Rong Xiang Tang.

Since they didn't do that, they obviously didn't notice anything unusual.

"You must not let this matter slip out, or you will face the consequences!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingbie's face turned cold and stern, and he sternly warned the minor leaders of Huarong Xiangtang present.

Including Jia Huan, the other members of the incense hall nodded repeatedly to indicate that they understood, but their faces remained pale, and their eyes darted around, clearly already trying to figure out a way to escape.

This matter is definitely not going to end so easily!
