The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

However, they were all members of the Beggars' Sect, and they hadn't done anything wrong, so they were naturally appeased in other ways.

Giving them the opportunity to become one of the four Dharma Protectors is definitely a good idea.

Otherwise, when the Beggars' Sect's resources become excessively concentrated and the internal balance is completely broken, that will be the most dangerous time for the Beggars' Sect, and it may even cease to exist.

He made his meaning very clear; whether the gang leader, Jie Feng, and the deputy gang leader, Zhang Jinbie, listened or not was their business.

In any case, there is no distinction between dirty clothes and clean clothes at the Yuezhou branch!

All the brothers in the branch can receive training in martial arts and knowledge; it all depends on their own efforts and willingness to improve.

If you don't want to attend kindergarten, you can have your grandparents teach you at home.

In the end, it all comes down to strength and ability; nothing else matters.

Knowing that the gang leader and deputy gang leader were hesitant to make a decision, Jia Huan had no intention of interfering.

He simply stated that the Yuezhou branch could be used as a pilot project, and it wouldn't hurt to see how things went before making any further decisions.

After saying all this, Jia Huan took his leave.

What a bummer! I went to Junshan Island and did nothing, and even got into a fight with the Eight Elders.

After returning, he went back to his own business.

As for the headquarters on Junshan Island, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Both the gang leader, Jie Feng, and the deputy gang leader, Zhang Jinbie, are shrewd individuals and would certainly not cause trouble for no reason.

As for the offended Clean Clothes Faction, no matter how unhappy they were, they dared not act too recklessly.

After all, Jia Huan's martial arts skills had already made them quite wary.

Elder Liang, a seasoned second-rate martial arts expert, was actually blasted away by Jia Huan with a single palm strike. Clearly, his strength was not something they could easily control, so they naturally wouldn't act rashly.

To put it bluntly, in the underworld, the size of your fist matters.

In fact, he could have completely ignored the disputes at the Junshan Island headquarters.

Even if the Yuezhou branch goes it alone, given enough time, once the skilled martial artists they've trained emerge, it won't be a question of whether Junshan Island can intervene, but rather that the branch can easily overthrow the Heavenly Gang.

He continued to travel around the Hunan and Hubei regions, acting as a chivalrous knight to eliminate various mountain bandits and brigands, thus enhancing his reputation in the martial arts world, while also providing his men with opportunities for real combat.

Fortunately, the Wudang Sect is relatively upright and does not secretly harbor bandit forces to act as their undercover agents.

Although the Wudang Sect did not directly support Jia Huan's efforts to eliminate bandits and outlaws, they provided him with considerable private assistance and support.

Despite this, Jia Huan maintained a good relationship with the Wudang Sect.

Unfortunately, he mainly interacted with the elders in charge of the outer sect of Wudang, and did not meet the Wudang sect leader, Master Chongxu, so he had no opportunity to learn from him.

He had also witnessed the martial arts skills of the formal disciples of the Wudang School. To be honest, they had a solid foundation and extraordinary potential, but their combat strength was just average, similar to that of many disciples of Taoist schools.

Practicing Taoist martial arts requires extremely high levels of talent and mental fortitude.

It seems that in the world of Swordsman, Wudang is also facing a shortage of young talents.

It's quite unusual that Master Chongxu, who is over seventy years old, is still busy in the position of sect leader.

If there were a suitable successor, there would be no need for him to keep refusing to step down.

Although he was very curious about Wudang martial arts, he did not rashly propose the idea of ​​exchanging skills.

As the leader of the Beggars' Sect's Seven-Bag Branch, it's never a good thing to win or lose during sparring. It's better to give the opportunity to one of one's brothers.

So, once he had established a good relationship with the upper echelons of the Wudang outer sect, he took the initiative to suggest that his men witness the prowess of the Wudang disciples.

They didn't make a big fuss; they just exchanged ideas and practiced their skills privately.

He even proposed to establish this exchange and learning model as a regular event, to be held every six months.

He didn't hide his purpose, stating frankly that if his brothers could frequently spar with Wudang masters, their martial arts skills could be rapidly improved.

The Wudang side responded very positively and readily agreed to Jia Huan's request.

In fact, Wudang disciples lack practical combat experience even more!

After all, for a century after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the mainstream of the martial arts world was the struggle between the Demonic Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

In terms of combat experience, the disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect are far more skilled than the formal disciples of Shaolin and Wudang, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Otherwise, how could the mighty Wudang sect be raided by a master of the demonic sect?

Do you really think the Wudang Seven-Section Formation is just for show?

Seven Wudang disciples with third-rate martial arts skills, setting up the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation, could probably surround or even kill two or three second-rate martial arts masters.

By the same token, if the Wudang Sect had made sufficient preparations, the Demonic Sect's experts would have suffered heavy casualties.

As a result, the True Martial Sword and the core inheritance of Tai Chi Chuan were forcibly taken away by the group of demonic sect masters.

That time, the Wudang Sect lost all face!

However, it must be said that this also reflects the fact that the Wudang Sect has become quite lax.

Master Chongxu probably considered these factors as well, which is why he readily agreed to Jia Huan's proposal.

The Beggars' Sect disciples, aside from other things, do have a rather diverse range of martial arts skills!

It can be said that the martial arts skills of the Beggars' Sect disciples, including fist, foot, spear, and staff techniques, cover almost all the basic martial arts in the martial arts world, which is very helpful for Wudang formal disciples to broaden their horizons.

Jia Huan certainly didn't feel he was at a disadvantage!

The reason why prestigious sects are prestigious sects is because they have a sufficiently complete system of inheritance.

From the moment a disciple enters the sect, they cultivate and improve step by step. Each step has a hidden method of inheritance that allows disciples to improve better, and their combat power is much stronger than that of other wandering martial artists of the same level.

Just considering the secret medicines that aid cultivation, the Wudang Sect probably has hundreds of different prescriptions. If an ordinary wandering martial artist can obtain one or two prescriptions, they would be considered to have good fortune.

It's not just a matter of the secret medicine formula, but also the supply of various rare medicinal materials. There's simply no comparison between the Wudang Sect and the wandering martial artists.

If it weren't for the slow pace of internal energy cultivation in Taoism, Wudang's prestige would definitely surpass that of Shaolin.

Wudang was a royal Taoist temple of the Ming Dynasty, and it received tremendous support from the royal family and the government.

Unfortunately, this is the Ming Dynasty, and for some reason, internal energy cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult.

Otherwise, with Wudang's foundation and the vast resources it could obtain, it couldn't possibly be inferior to the Quanzhen Sect, the number one sect in the world during the Southern Song Dynasty, could it?

Using Wudang's formal disciples of the same rank as whetstones, the branch brothers were quite lucky.

As long as you can stand out, you will definitely have a place in the Beggars' Sect in the future!

Jia Huan not only set his sights on Wudang, but also on another neighboring sect, Hengshan!

In fact, the Beggars' Sect is located in a rather awkward geographical position.

The presence of powerful martial arts factions on both sides severely compressed the Beggars' Sect's living space.

Who would have thought that a hundred years ago, the Beggars' Sect was a nationwide gang, but now its territory has shrunk to Hunan Province, radiating to several surrounding provinces, and its influence is waning day by day.

Otherwise, when Liu Zhengfeng retired from the beggars' guild, Zhang Jinbie, the vice leader of the beggars' guild, personally came to witness the ceremony, so he was at least a guest of honor.

Even if a master from the Songshan Sect were to appear, they could act as a referee.

Not an exaggeration at all!

If the head of the Shaolin Temple's Bodhidharma Academy were to come knocking on our door that day, let's see if the Songshan Sect would still dare to be so unscrupulous.

It's like how influential singers from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan today dare to claim they're holding concerts in Southeast Asian Chinese communities and then call it a "world tour."

At this time, although the Beggars' Sect still claimed to be the number one sect in the world, its strength could no longer cover the entire country, or even the area north of the Yellow River. It could only be considered self-praise.

Under such circumstances, without a top-tier master to oversee things, being caught between the Wudang and Hengshan sects must have been incredibly difficult.

Unfortunately, the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demonic Sect fought each other for a hundred years.

Despite the heavy losses suffered by the Five Mountains Sword Sect during this period, a constant stream of masters also emerged from the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Despite Hengshan Sect's ranking in the middle of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, at its peak, it had nearly two hands' worth of top-tier martial arts masters!

Even now, the Hengshan Sect is facing a shortage of skilled successors, yet it still has three top-tier martial arts masters.

The Beggars' Sect, however, only had its two leaders, the leader and the deputy leader, who were top-tier martial arts masters; the rest of its elders were all second-rate. With such strength, how could they possibly compare to the Hengshan Sect?

Jia Huan naturally felt no guilt about this!

To reiterate, the Beggars' Sect has astonishing potential. If it develops properly and stays on the right path, even a single branch could be stronger than any of the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

Hunan Province has a diverse geographical environment and is home to many ethnic minorities, resulting in a complex environment with all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Naturally, there were also various mountain bandits and river bandits.

The fact that they previously joined forces with the Hengshan Sect to eliminate the elder of the Five Poisons Sect is the best proof of this.

How could Jia Huan, who roams the martial arts world upholding justice, not be cleaning up all sorts of trash within Hunan Province?

And so, in the same process, he came into contact with the Hengshan School.
