The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

After a long while, Jie Feng asked incredulously, "Why do I feel like this is so unreliable?"

"Whether it's reliable or not, you'll only know by trying it!"

Jia Huan analyzed in a deep voice: "In the current martial arts world, Shaolin and Wudang are at the top, the undisputed pillars of the righteous path, and an existence that no one can ignore!"

"The Five Mountains Sword Sects are closely united and their influence is extremely formidable. They are widely recognized as the strongest righteous force after Shaolin and Wudang, without exception!"

That's true, there's no problem!

Jie Feng and the elders nodded silently. That was the truth. There was no need to flatter their own family members in person.

"But the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is only so big. With Shaolin, Wudang, and the Five Mountains Alliance already established, can it accommodate another righteous force and become a major gang with nationwide influence?"

Before Xie Feng and the elders could speak, Jia Huan declared directly, "Impossible! Even a powerful gang like the Canal Gang couldn't do that!"

"After all, becoming a top-tier gang in the martial arts world is not just about having a prestigious name; it also involves substantial and tangible benefits. No one would easily allow our Beggars' Sect to grow to this level!"

"Unless, our Beggars' Sect produces a top-tier master comparable to Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin, Taoist Chongxu of Wudang, and Zuo Lengchan of Songshan!"

"I'm confident I can reach that level before I'm thirty, but I'm worried that time won't be long enough!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Xie Fengzhen was deeply moved and hurriedly asked, "What? Do you think there's a high chance of a major upheaval in the martial arts world before I turn thirty?"

His tone was urgent, and his voice unconsciously rose several decibels.

In fact, as the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Xie Feng's abilities were only average.

He never viewed matters of the martial arts world and conflicts of interest from the perspective of the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.

What Jia Huan said gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment, allowing him to have a clearer and deeper understanding of the future development prospects of the Beggars' Sect and other matters in the martial arts world.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to immediately grasp the meaning behind Jia Huan's words!

"Indeed, from my observation, the Songshan Sect has reached a considerable level of development!"

Jia Huan bluntly stated, "Given the current prestige and strength of the Songshan Sect, Zuo Lengchan will definitely strive to go further and become a martial arts master of the same caliber as Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu!"

"Even if he didn't have such intentions, the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan Sect, along with numerous other Songshan disciples, would push him to continue climbing higher, developing the Songshan Sect to the same level as Shaolin and Wudang!"

"If successful, the righteous martial arts world will have three super powers, and no fourth power will be allowed to challenge their position or dilute their interests!"

"But if they fail, the Songshan Sect's upward momentum will be interrupted. Like the Huashan Sect before them, they will gradually decline from their peak or fall directly into the mire!"

"In short, turmoil in the martial arts world is inevitable during this process!"

Jia Huan chuckled, "Our Beggars' Sect has already reached considerable strength; naturally, we can't just stand by and watch. Neither Shaolin, Wudang, nor the Five Mountains Alliance would agree to this!"

"But your idea is likely to offend people!"

Xie Feng was shaken, but still smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, I haven't seen any sign that our Beggars' Sect might soar to new heights from here on out."

His idea is very simple!

If the Beggars' Sect wants to rise again and become a top force in the martial arts world, it naturally has to rely on traditional methods, relying on formidable strength and top-tier masters to achieve its goal.

"Offending people is not a problem. How can the Beggars' Sect rise to become a top-tier martial arts force without offending people?"

Jia Huan, however, remained unconcerned, saying, "As for how the Beggars' Sect rose to power, the sect leader and I have different ideas!"

Before Jie Feng could speak, he asked himself, "What is meant by a top-tier martial arts force?"

"Besides having formidable strength, the most important thing is to have significant influence and a certain level of credibility!"

"Let's put aside the matter of strength for now; I have other ideas and methods!"

Having said that, Youyou glanced at Xie Feng and the elders, ignoring the suspicious looks on their faces, and continued, "As for influence and credibility, can my ideas achieve that?"

Upon hearing this, Jie Feng paused for a moment, and after careful consideration, he realized that this was indeed the case!

"Don't worry, Boss. My plan goes far beyond just this!"

Jia Huan comforted him, saying, "The follow-up plans will be implemented one after another. Our Beggars' Sect has not become a mainstream force in the martial arts world for too long!"

"it is good!"

Xie Feng slammed his hand on the coffee table and said loudly, "I agree, I'll do as you say!"

Ignoring the shocked expressions of the other elders, he laughed loudly and said, "Whether your idea succeeds or not, our Beggars' Sect must make a name for itself this time!"

"This time I'm not in a hurry to return to Junshan Island. I'll just go with you to visit old friends all over the place!"

As for the elders who came with us, those who wish to stay can stay, and those who do not wish to leave immediately.

The Beggars' Sect is currently overwhelmed with affairs, and its many elders have no chance to relax.

Even those who stayed behind to see what was going on had to deal with the matter of establishing a new stronghold in the Central Plains.

Just as Jia Huan and his men said, the Central Plains region is the heartland of the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Beggars' Sect cannot establish itself here, how can it be considered a powerful gang?

There are far too many martial arts forces here, and all sorts of strange and monstrous figures are constantly emerging!

Not to mention, even Jia Huan only allowed the Beggars' Clan to establish strongholds in major cities in the Central Plains, instead of spreading them throughout numerous counties like in Hubei Province.

The reason is simple: if the business is set up too large, it simply cannot be managed.

No one can guarantee that there won't be any forces trying to muddy the waters and specifically target the Beggars' Sect's strongholds.

If such a situation were to occur, neither the Beggars' Sect nor Jia Huan would have a good solution.

After all, the Beggars' Sect was still on the fast track of resurgence at this time and had not yet recovered to its heyday. It was not powerful enough to deter petty villains and those with ill intentions.

Only by establishing a stronghold in a major city, where the target is obvious and where there is a considerable amount of influence in the underworld, can the situation be improved.

They dared not risk offending the Beggars' Sect to the death by allowing certain unscrupulous individuals to run rampant.

Has the beggar gone mad?

Three days after going to the Songshan Sect to spar with Zuo Lengchan, he went to Shaolin Temple to pay his respects.

They also made a request to exchange skills, which was granted by the abbot of Shaolin.

He sparred with a group of high-ranking monks from the Shaolin Temple, and with the help of the Beggars' Sect's ultimate technique, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he defeated many of them.

It wasn't until Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple personally intervened, using the "Thousand-Hand Tathagata Palm" combined with the Buddhist "Lion's Roar" to defeat Jia Huan.

The result was similar to when Jia Huan sparred with Zuo Lengchan; he was defeated but not seriously injured!

During this time, the elite disciples of the Beggars' Sect and the elite disciples of Shaolin Temple also had a real exchange and sparring session.

After leaving Shaolin, Jia Huan immediately visited Wang Yuanba, the leader of the Golden Saber Sect in Luoyang, and Xia, the old master of the Zhengzhou Liuhequan Sect, with whom he had a previous relationship.

In every exchange of skills, Jia Huan emerged victorious!

For a time, news of Jia Huan's impressive achievements spread throughout the martial arts world!

Most of the high-ranking monks of the Fang generation at Shaolin Temple were top-notch martial arts masters.

Among them, the best, such as Master Fang Sheng, whose martial arts skills were certainly superior to those of Ding Mian, the Grand Protector of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan, were among the most famous masters of the righteous path.

Wang Yuanba, the invincible Golden Saber, was able to firmly occupy Luoyang, so his martial arts skills were naturally excellent, and he was also a well-known first-class master in the martial arts world.

Master Xia of the Zhengzhou Liuhequan School is a veteran, top-tier martial arts master.

As a result, apart from Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple, no one was a match for the chivalrous beggar Jia Huan!

Of course, what the outside world didn't know was that during this process, the elite disciples of the Beggars' Sect also frequently exchanged and sparred with the disciples of these veteran first-class masters, but their influence was not enough to cause any waves.

But Jia Huan showed no sign of stopping. He went directly from Henan to Shaanxi, heading for the Huashan Sect, one of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Upon arriving in Shaanxi, the order of the martial arts world was noticeably more chaotic.

Clearly, the Huashan Sect, as the local power, has lost control of the situation.

Ignoring all of this, Jia Huan went directly to the Huashan Sect's mountain gate.

The Huashan Sect leader, Yue Buqun, and his wife, Ning Zhongze, had been waiting for a long time.

They may be very unwilling inside, but they put on a very good show.

It's a pity that the Huashan Sect has truly declined, and quite severely at that.

The tea, snacks, and food served to guests were merely edible; nothing was of high quality.

Jia Huan didn't care about this, nor did the accompanying gang leader Jie Feng and several elders.

People from the martial arts world can enjoy both delicacies and coarse food!

At this moment, Jia Huan also met Linghu Chong, the protagonist of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, who was now seventeen or eighteen years old.

All I can say is that this guy didn't make a good first impression on him; he had a lazy and unruly air about him.

Even when he's standing there properly, he still seems a bit unserious!

Such a demeanor would be perfectly fine on anyone else, and would even be considered an advantage. But in the case of the senior disciple of the Huashan Sect, it inevitably makes one look down on him.

Don't they see what the Huashan Sect is like now? How can they be so carefree?

After taking their seats in the Hall of Righteousness and Soaring to the Sky, and exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Jia Huan got straight to the point without any hesitation.

First, they wanted to establish a Beggars' Sect stronghold in Guanzhong, hoping to obtain the permission and support of the Huashan Sect.
