Zhang Jinbie spoke with a complicated tone: "It seems he has already reached near-first-rate strength."

Damn it, why don't you be even bolder!

Jia Huan smiled faintly and remained silent, his gaze sweeping unfriendly over the elder who had been sent flying. He said irritably, "So, you resort to violence when you can't win an argument? What did I say that provoked you?"

At this moment, the other members of the Beggars' Sect came to their senses and looked at their fellow disciple who had fallen to the ground and was vomiting blood. For a moment, no one took the initiative to help him up, and their expressions were quite complicated.

"Hey, all of you, get out of here, and take Elder Liang with you too!"

The gang leader, Jie Feng, waved his hand with displeasure, saying, "Let's let this matter go this time. If there's a next time, expel him from the Beggars' Gang. I hope Elder Liang won't make a mistake!"

After saying that, he looked at Jia Huan and said with a wry smile, "Brother Jia, what do you think?"

"Forget it, there's no need to dwell on it!"

Jia Huan said frankly, "Even if I don't deliberately target him, I estimate that Elder Liang will have trouble sleeping in peace from now on!"

That's a pretty bit like killing someone by attacking their spirit.

But that's how things are. Elder Liang made the first move, and none of the big shots in the Clean Clothes Sect could stand up for him. They could only blame themselves for their lack of martial arts skills.

After the Beggars' Sect leaders left one by one, the previously oppressive atmosphere in the room eased.

"Brother Jia, let's sit down and talk!"

Jie Feng sighed, "It seems that Brother Jia's words have provoked some people!"

"Isn't it?"

Zhang Jinbie sneered, "Speaking of Elder Liang, he's not young anymore, but he's only interested in paving the way for his good-for-nothing sons and his grandsons!"

"If we suddenly lose most of the resources allocated by the Beggars' Sect headquarters, I'm afraid we won't be able to form any ideas. Isn't that a cause for concern?"

Jie Feng nodded silently, feeling a bit of sympathy for him.

Although his actions were not as blatant as Elder Liang's, they were hardly aboveboard either.

Isn't it just about arranging good positions for the two illegitimate children within the gang?

Of course, as the leader of the Beggars' Sect, he wasn't so narrow-minded as to only focus on himself, his family, and his few trusted men. He still had to consider the many brothers in the entire Beggars' Sect.

I don't expect to accomplish anything earth-shattering, but at the very least, I can't let the Beggars' Sect run into serious problems under my leadership.

Elder Liang's sudden sneak attack had already made Xie Feng realize that something was very wrong.

Clearly, the intensity of the debate between purity and impurity was far greater than he had imagined!

Fortunately, he had quite agreed with Jia Huan's remarks after hearing them.

It's unclear whether Jia Huan has anything else he hasn't said.

Sure enough, once the sudden turmoil subsided, he couldn't wait to speak: "Brother Jia, regarding the debate over purity and impurity, is there anything else you haven't said? Please say it all."

Zhang Jinbie, who was standing next to him, was taken aback. He didn't care why Jie Feng said that, but instead looked intently at Jia Huan.

In fact, Zhang Jinbie also leaned towards the "dirty clothes" faction.

However, the Clean Clothes Faction was extremely powerful, with far more Eight-Bag Elders than the Dirty Clothes Faction. He couldn't show too much favoritism, as it could easily trigger a major internal conflict within the Beggars' Sect.

He had taken Jia Huan's previous remarks to heart and thought they made a lot of sense.

He also had a lot of headaches dealing with the heroes of the Clean Clothes Sect.

With these guys willing to join the Beggars' Sect, the sect's prestige naturally soared.

However, the Clean Clothes Faction also won them over, and their strength increased too rapidly.

But they didn't know what to do with these guys; if they weren't dealt with properly, it could cause a huge mess.

People in the martial arts world have fiery tempers; they might just explode if they encounter something that doesn't go their way.

Jia Huan's suggestion was quite good; it would be much better to assign all these guys to the outer sect.

They are still members of the Beggars' Sect, but if they want to use the Beggars' Sect's name to do things or obtain certain resources from the Beggars' Sect, they must exchange them for something of equal value.

This way, these heroes of the martial arts world are not dragged into the conflict between purity and corruption.

For the Beggars' Sect, this arrangement saved them a lot of trouble.

As for the fact that the Clean Clothes Faction will suffer a great loss of strength without the support of the heroes of the martial arts world, this is also the result that the gang leader, Jie Feng, is willing to see. Otherwise, the Clean Clothes Faction would be too powerful.

"Actually, there's not much to say!"

Jia Huan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and also poured tea for Xie Feng and Zhang Jinbie. Then he said helplessly, "Once we figure out what the main contradiction of our Beggars' Sect is right now, it will be easier to handle!"

"Then tell me, what is the main problem facing our Beggars' Sect right now?"

Xie Feng asked curiously, "Your idea is quite novel. Tell me about it!"

"What appears to be a struggle between purity and impurity is actually a power struggle!"

Jia Huan spoke eloquently: "The extent of power is related to the distribution of benefits!"

"And the distribution of benefits will ultimately be allocated to individuals in the form of resources. It is clear that our lowest-ranking brothers in the Beggars' Sect will receive very few resources!"

"With fewer resources, there are fewer opportunities to rise in the ranks, and the Beggars' Sect will face a shortage of capable successors!"

"Think about it, if there isn't a single brother in the Beggars' Sect's upper echelons who has risen from the very bottom, can it still be called the Beggars' Sect?"

"When that time comes, if the high-ranking members who have already formed family power completely control the Beggars' Sect, then the Beggars' Sect will not be far from disintegration!"

"Why do you say that?"

Jie Feng said solemnly, "Even if such a situation really occurs, the Beggars' Sect shouldn't fall apart, right?"

Zhang Jinbie, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement, thinking that Jia Huan was exaggerating.

Ha ha……

Jia Huan chuckled and said leisurely, "Human nature is a very simple matter!"

"For example, back when I was still a second-class disciple at Huarong Xiangtang, even the gang leader would call me 'Brother Jia' instead of 'You little beggar'!"

"Regardless of whether the gang leader truly considers me a brother, I'm definitely not feeling too bad!"

"Although begging is a tough life, there is still a chance to turn things around here. As long as you work hard and perform well, you will naturally accumulate more and more sacks!"

"The resources available will increase, and we can also cultivate martial arts to improve our strength. In short, even if life is tough, the future is still very promising!"

At this point, he said with a smile, "If the higher-ups of the Beggars' Sect no longer treat the lower-level beggars as brothers, and are merely using them without giving them any chance to rise in rank!"

"Does the leader think there are still a few beggars at the bottom of society who would identify with the Beggars' Sect?"

"Since I'm going to beg for a living anyway, rather than struggling to make ends meet every day and having to pay tribute to the higher-ups without any chance of climbing the ladder, I might as well go it alone!"

At this point, Jia Huan pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Chief, tell me, wasn't the idea of ​​our Beggars' Clan when it was founded that all beggars should band together for mutual support?"

"That's actually quite possible!"

After thinking for a moment, Jie Feng nodded in agreement, saying, "That must have been the situation when the Beggars' Sect was first established!"

"Therefore, those beggars who live at the very bottom of society are the core of our Beggars' Sect!"

Jie Feng was a little confused; he didn't understand what "fundamental position" meant.

However, he still asked, "Brother Jia, your actions seem to be no different from those of the Clean Clothes Faction?"

"Of course they're different!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "Chief, most of the resources of the Yuezhou branch have been distributed to the brothers under my command. Apart from my share, I haven't taken a single penny more than what I deserve."

"Does the leader think the Clean Clothes Faction brothers are capable of doing this?"

Jie Feng was speechless for a moment; what Jia Huan said really made sense.

"Furthermore, it would be best if future leaders and deputy leaders were both from humble backgrounds!"

Jia Huan said calmly, "As for the core leaders of the Clean Clothes Faction, shall we reinstate the system of the Four Elders?"

"As long as their abilities and strength meet the requirements, they can become one of the four elders of the Beggars' Sect!"

Chapter 429 Whetstone (Please Subscribe)

There's a reason why Jia Huan was so certain that the Beggars' Sect was rapidly declining when he was still a second-class disciple and a minor leader in the Huarong Xiangtang.

At that time, he learned that the Beggars' Sect no longer had the position of the Four Protector Elders.

The Elder of Transmission of Skills, the Elder of Enforcement, the Head of the Bowl-Holding Dragon and the Head of the Staff-Holding Dragon, are known as the Four Protector Elders of the Beggars' Sect.

Whether in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils era, the Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes, or the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber era, these four guardian elders were all very important members of the Beggars' Sect.

Their status is only slightly lower than that of the gang leader, and on the same level as the deputy gang leader.

Especially the elders who pass on their skills—you can tell just by their titles—their martial arts are usually the strongest besides the leader of the gang. Otherwise, how could they shoulder the heavy responsibility of passing on the Beggars' Gang's martial arts?

However, by the time the Beggars' Sect was passed down to the world of Laughing at the World, it was no longer sufficient to support the establishment of the Four Guardian Elders.

In Jia Huan's view, what else could this be but decline?

The current situation is definitely not going to allow the Beggars' Sect to continue smoothly in the future.

The "dirty clothes faction," or the lower-class beggars, who form the foundation of society, must be valued and provided with certain resources, giving them room to grow and avenues for advancement.

At that time, they could have been called formal disciples, not some "dirty clothes faction".

As for the so-called "clean clothes faction," it must be suppressed.
