The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

"There's nothing we can do. I don't know what the beggar was thinking; he's incredibly rude to the heroes of the greenwood!"

Tang Ying'e said with a wry smile, "Especially since he is wanted by the imperial court and has a truly notorious record!"

"The beggar's martial arts skills are only one aspect; another aspect is his immense influence!"

"Wherever he appears or what kind of action he takes, the local and nearby heroes of the martial arts world will rush to help. Which outlaw who is being targeted wouldn't be terrified?"

Zuo Lengchan was speechless for a while, and had no good solution to the problem.

Despite his displeasure, he absolutely could not take action personally unless he was absolutely certain of success.

Despite the Beggars' Sect's declining influence year after year, it is still a force to be reckoned with.

What he feared even more was the undisguised relationship between the beggar chivalrous knight, the Six Doors, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

As the leader of the Songshan Sect, how could he not know that some of the things the Beggar Hero had done were blatantly cooperating with the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

But the people he targeted were those with notorious reputations in the martial arts world; otherwise, they wouldn't have such an amazing reputation for chivalry. The things he did were beyond reproach.

"Then we can only find an opportunity to provoke a confrontation between the Beggar Hero and the Demonic Cult!"

Zuo Lengchan glanced at Tang Ying'e and gave the order.

Chapter 433 Huge Progress (Please Subscribe)

Yuezhou at this time is more than twice as prosperous as it was ten years ago!

The streets were teeming with people, whose clothes, while not luxurious, were rarely patched. Voices speaking in various regional accents filled the air.

The dock area has expanded five times, and ships come and go like a swarm of fish crossing a river.

Although the hygiene wasn't great, it was still quite orderly.

The most peculiar thing is that a martial arts school street has appeared outside Yuezhou City.

More than 80% of the martial arts schools on Martial Arts Street were opened by Beggar Clan disciples.

They each taught different martial arts techniques. Most of the apprentices were Beggar Clan disciples and members, with a few outsiders, mainly from commoner backgrounds.

The existence of the martial arts street adds a touch of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) atmosphere to Yuezhou Prefecture!

If merchants or travelers from other places were to pass by, they would certainly be very curious: could a mere Yuezhou City support the existence of so many martial arts schools?

In fact, almost all of these martial arts schools were established by the Yuezhou branch of the Beggars' Sect to train disciples and followers.

The place was located outside the city and was originally a wasteland, but now it has been transformed into a martial arts street.

There was no other way. The Beggars' Sect had hundreds of basic martial arts techniques, and Jia Huan selected the eighteen most representative ones and opened eighteen martial arts schools to teach them.

That's called specialization!

Instead of the past, where everything was taught by the branch headquarters and local temples.

This was possible when there weren't many disciples and followers, but now the Yuezhou branch alone has six hundred formal disciples, and the number of other followers exceeds two thousand.

If we divide it into inner and outer sects, it has 600 formal disciples and 2,000 outer disciples, making it one of the top forces in the martial arts world.

This doesn't even include the number of skilled fighters that the Offering Hall and the Bounty Hall can mobilize!

To put it simply, at this time, the Yuezhou branch, in terms of scale alone, is no less than any of the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

What's lacking is nothing more than a true master who can deter villains!

However, for Jia Huan and his brothers in the branch, anything is possible given enough time.

To put it simply, at this point, the Beggars' Sect could be divided into the Yuezhou branch and the rest of the Beggars' Sect.

Jia Huan's power had expanded to the point that even the combined forces of the gang leader Xie Feng and the deputy gang leader Zhang Jinbie could not suppress him.

As for the internal conflict between the clean and dirty factions, it no longer affects him and the Yuezhou branch.

Fortunately, Jia Huan had no other thoughts or actions. He treated the Beggars' Sect leaders with the same respect as always, giving them the proper tributes without any shortfall, and his attitude was polite and humble. This barely dispelled the Beggars' Sect leaders' concerns.

Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do now; even if we wanted to get rid of Jia Huan, it's no longer an option.

Not to mention that Jia Huan himself was a top-notch martial arts master, whose actual combat ability was much higher than his martial arts realm.

Even the leader of the gang, Jie Feng, wasn't entirely confident he could completely defeat Jia Huan, let alone kill him.

The Yuezhou branch's strength has expanded too rapidly; no matter who takes it over, problems are bound to arise.

The key point is that the series of industries that Jia Huan has set up all seem to be golden goose at the moment, but once problems arise, no one can guarantee whether things can be restored to their original state.

Doing business with the outlying forces of Wudang across the river would definitely lead to problems without Jia Huan's supervision and restraint; human nature simply cannot withstand the test.

Moreover, the Wudang peripheral forces on the other side only recognize Jia Huan, which is really messed up.

Moreover, the Yuezhou branch has established stations covering all villages in its jurisdiction.

Maintaining the normal operation of so many sites alone, along with the financial expenditure, is no small amount.

Aside from Jia Huan, which other high-ranking member of the Beggars' Sect could uphold impartiality and manage such resources?

At this time, the Yuezhou branch had eighteen martial arts schools, as well as a school, a clinic, and a pharmacy. These were purely expenditure items. If it weren't for Jia Huan's strong support, how could they have been established?

In addition, there were training centers for storytellers, bookstores, and bookshops.

Other miscellaneous industries, and even a snake breeding base.

These industries and layouts all require Jia Huan to grasp the overall direction; those who lack management skills and tact are not qualified to get involved.

How many of the Beggars' Sect's high-ranking members are truly skilled managers?

The rapid development of the Yuezhou branch is supported by its large number of disciples and followers, as well as its comprehensive industrial layout.

Even a fool could see that Jia Huan's rise to power was unstoppable!

He is now an eight-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect, and also serves as the leader of the Yuezhou branch.

To outsiders, he would undoubtedly be the third most important figure in the Beggars' Sect—it's that exaggerated.

The gang leader and deputy leader did not refute these rumors, which can be considered as tacit acceptance.

At this moment, Jia Huan, accompanied by several elite disciples, sat in a not-so-famous teahouse in Yuezhou City, sipping tea and eating snacks while casually listening to the storyteller's captivating tales.

In Yuezhou City, storytellers have become a standard feature in various public places.

Not to mention teahouses and taverns, even brothels and pleasure quarters have storytellers.

That's right, almost all the storytellers in Yuezhou City were trained by the branch headquarters.

As the branch's propaganda and publicity channel, it plays a very important role!

It must be said that the branch had a very high prestige and a good reputation in Yuezhou at this time, and the storytellers scattered in various public places played a great role in this.

Sure enough, the storyteller in the teahouse where Jia Huan was staying was enthusiastically recounting the recently concluded martial arts competition between the three sects, and in his hand was a ranking list of combat strength that was of rather poor quality.

"Speaking of which, the Beggar Clan disciple who stepped onto the stage used a simple Taizu Long Fist to deflect his opponent's longsword, then rolled forward suddenly, unleashing a series of ground-sweeping punches with both feet, directly knocking his opponent over!"

"His body writhed on the ground like a serpent, his hands and feet unleashing fierce attacks. No matter how his fallen opponent struggled, he couldn't get up smoothly..."

It was on the arena that the elite brothers of the branch and the formal disciples of Wudang were engaged in a wonderful exchange of skills.

Jia Huan listened to it as just a story; it didn't hold much appeal for him.

However, for the many tea drinkers in the teahouse, the storyteller's vivid and engaging account of the martial arts contest was truly captivating, drawing them completely in.

Even the Beggars' Clan brothers who were standing nearby couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Hmph, next time we compete, we'll definitely be able to secure a place in the top five!"

After listening to the storyteller's wonderful narration, the brothers who had come along ate and drank to their hearts' content, and also shared their visions.

"I think so too. Wudang disciples aren't as powerful as people imagine!"

"It's not that the Wudang disciples are incapable, but rather that our brothers are progressing too quickly!"

"Hehe, the brothers on our side are the best performers in the internal arena competition. It would be a problem if they didn't perform well!"

"Hehe, you might not know, but those eighteen martial arts schools are secretly fighting fiercely for a single spot to step into the ring!"

At this point, he subconsciously looked at Jia Huan, the instigator.

Jia Huan waved his hand and laughed, "Why are you looking at me?"

"As long as internal competition doesn't go too far and doesn't cross the line, the fiercer the competition, the better!"

At this point, he chuckled and added, "Of course, the purpose of opening so many martial arts schools was to provide my brothers with a suitable place to practice martial arts!"

"If the brothers are willing, they can manage several martial arts schools at the same time without being restricted!"

Indeed, since establishing eighteen martial arts schools outside the city and forming a martial arts street, Jia Huan has put a lot of thought into it, causing the disciples under the branch to get involved.

He knew that the more intense the competition, the higher the chance of producing talented individuals.

Unbeknownst to many, the joint arena competitions with the Wudang and Hengshan sects have fostered the emergence of many promising talents for the branch sects.

Anyone who can rank in the top ten of the arena combat power rankings will at least be a second-rate player in the martial arts world.

It should be noted that the internal competitions among the eighteen martial arts schools were quite intense.

Of course, the medical clinics and pharmacies closely connected with the martial arts school played a crucial role.

The role of the clinic is self-evident; it is especially adept at treating injuries suffered by martial arts practitioners.

As for the pharmacy, that's even more complicated.
