The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

In fact, even if the Beggars' Sect sent people to set up a stronghold in Guanzhong without prior notice, given Yue Buqun's deep-seated cunning, he probably wouldn't easily turn against them.

At this point, the Huashan Sect could no longer withstand any major upheaval.

We are all upright people, so let's not be so aggressive in our actions, or things will get too extreme.

Who knows, we might have another opportunity to collaborate in the future!

Yue Buqun didn't think too much about it and nodded in agreement.

Clearly, he must have considered this point beforehand and given it thought, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so readily. After all, the situation in the Guanzhong Jianghu (martial arts world) is quite complex; it could even be described as a power vacuum.

If the Beggars' Sect gains a foothold, it can easily seize market share in the Guanzhong martial arts world by virtue of its numerical advantage.

It's a pity that the Huashan Sect didn't have much backbone to refuse!

Since I had no confidence to refuse, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

In this way, we can also sell out the Beggars' Sect!

After the first matter was resolved smoothly, Jia Huan immediately proposed the idea of ​​exchanging ideas and techniques.

Yue Buqun was prepared for this and agreed without hesitation.

The first thing to happen was naturally the competition between the disciples.

As a result, Yue Buqun was furious and wished he could personally teach his disciples a lesson.

Except for Linghu Chong, who lasted a little longer, the Huashan Sect suffered a complete defeat in the brief sparring session between the disciples.

Yes, Linghu Chong is indeed talented in swordsmanship; anyone with eyes can see that!

But what's the use of that?

Which of the Beggar Clan disciples that Jia Huan brought hadn't cultivated their martial arts to a high level?

A simple comparison of martial arts skills is not very meaningful!

The key factor is immediate combat capability, which includes the most important internal strength, as well as physical strength and other factors.

In this respect, Linghu Chong could only fight to a standstill with the elite disciples of the Beggars' Sect who specialized in external martial arts, and in the end, he lost in terms of endurance!

Jia Huan could see clearly that Linghu Chong's swordsmanship was still too immature at this time.

However, this has little to do with him!

With the Beggars' Sect causing trouble, it's believed that by the time the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer begins, disciples from all sects who frequently spar with the Beggars' Sect will experience a significant increase in strength and combat effectiveness.

This is a certainty; there's no need to guess!

Whether Linghu Chong, who is somewhat lazy by nature, will still be able to live as carefree and comfortable as he did in the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer remains to be seen.

Different environments naturally lead to vastly different growth rates.

Although Linghu Chong and Jia Huan were only about ten years apart in age at this time, the difference in their strength was immeasurable and incomparable.

Even at his peak after retiring from the martial world, he was probably only two levels stronger than Jia Huan at this time!

Leaving aside the digressions, what follows is the exchange and discussion between Jia Huan, Yue Buqun, and Ning Zhongze and her husband.

He had no intention of taking advantage of the situation and directly signaled Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze to use their swords!

If you're going to play hand-to-hand combat, that's bullying people, and there's not much point in exchanging skills or techniques.

brush!

As the leader of the Huashan Sect, Lao Yue obviously still had some sense of shame and had no intention of joining forces with his wife, even though he knew that he was no match for her in a one-on-one fight.

With a flick of his longsword, it transformed into a sky full of sword shadows, like the precipitous peaks of Mount Hua, rushing towards Jia Huan.

"Well done!"

Jia Huan laughed out loud, and suddenly swung out the green bamboo pole in his hand, which had been specially made to be as hard as diamond.

He was eager to see the various sword techniques of Mount Hua, but he didn't immediately use the "Dog-Beating Stick Technique," otherwise Old Yue wouldn't have had much room to maneuver.

brush brush...

The emerald green bamboo pole in his hand transformed into streaks of green light that danced across the sky.

Sometimes it is like a dragon emerging from the sea, domineering and unparalleled; sometimes it is like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, cunning and ruthless; sometimes it is like a tiger descending the mountain, majestic and awe-inspiring; sometimes it is like a swallow skimming the sky, leaving no trace.

A single green bamboo pole seems to have transformed into eighteen kinds of weapons, some heavy, some light, some simple, some complex, some explosive, some gentle; in short, all kinds of forces can be used effortlessly.

What does it mean to have superb martial arts skills? Jia Huan's martial arts skills at this moment are just like that.

The Taizu Staff Technique, the Snake-Driving Staff Technique, the Ground-Treading Saber, the Five Tigers Severing the Gate Saber, and so on—all the martial arts he knew could be revealed in the shadow of the staff.

With Jia Huan's level of martial arts skill, why would he be bound by specific moves?

It's almost entirely spontaneous and intuitive; no conscious thought is needed. The body naturally and effortlessly employs the most appropriate response.

In terms of martial arts skills alone, Yue Buqun was almost completely defeated!

He did try his best; he practiced almost all the sword techniques he could use, including the Huashan Basic Sword Technique, Yangwu Sword Technique, Xiyi Sword Technique, and Taiyue Three Green Edges.

Unfortunately, there was absolutely no sign of them gaining the upper hand!

In other words, the Zixia internal energy cultivated from the Zixia Divine Skill is long-lasting and enduring, giving Yue Buqun a long-lasting endurance and fighting ability far exceeding that of masters of the same level. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to last thirty moves!

Even so, Yue Buqun was still defeated after a hundred moves!

Jia Huan didn't go too far; he only touched the surface.

Whether he was trying to save face or not, he maintained a calm and collected demeanor befitting a master.

After a few polite words, Ning Zhongze couldn't wait to go on stage!

Perhaps she was distracted by other matters, or perhaps giving birth to her daughter depleted her vitality; in any case, Ning Zhongze's internal strength cultivation was rather average, barely reaching the first-rate level in the martial arts world.

However, the "Nineteen Swords of the Jade Maiden" she used was quite exquisite and very suitable for women to perform.

Although he was defeated after thirty moves, it must be said that his martial arts combined with his swordsmanship were roughly on par with Yue Hou, the fourth of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan, who was known as the Great Yin-Yang Hand.

With that, all the purposes of coming to the Huashan Sect have been achieved!

He was also eager to see how powerful Feng Qingyang was. It would be great to have a go at the Dugu Nine Swords and see what level his own Dog-Beating Stick Technique had reached.

He didn't think so. The Dog-Beating Stick Technique was inferior to the Nine Swords of Dugu!

In fact, in terms of its exquisite craftsmanship, the "Dog-Beating Stick Technique" might be even more remarkable.

It's not that I'm bragging about my own martial arts skills!

The "Dog-Beating Stick Technique" has always been the signature martial art of the Beggars' Sect leader. Basically, only the leader and his successor can learn the whole technique, while other Beggars' Sect disciples can only know the basic version at most.

How long has the Beggars' Sect existed?

There were more than one or two powerful gang leaders among them.

Especially during times of war, the Beggars' Clan leaders were incredibly powerful, mostly top-tier martial arts masters. Given their vision and knowledge, they would undoubtedly optimize and improve the Dog-Beating Stick Technique, just as they did the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, until it reached a point where it could not be modified any further.

Dugu Qiubai was incredibly powerful, perhaps reaching the level of Qiao Feng and Guo Jing in martial arts. Yet, the "Dugu Nine Swords" he created single-handedly was flawless.

Jia Huan was skeptical, but he never expected that he would soon witness the unique charm of "The Nine Swords of Dugu"!

Despite the fact that Jia Huan and his group came to the door, the entire Huashan Sect was humiliated.

Whether it was a sparring match between disciples, or a sparring match between Jia Huan, Yue Buqun, and Ning Zhongze and his wife, it all ended in defeat for the Huashan Sect.

However, Yue Buqun did not show any anger. On the contrary, he politely invited Jia Huan and his party to stay at the Huashan Sect's mountain gate for one night before leaving.

He did have some things he wanted to discuss with Xie Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect who had come with him.

In fact, the Beggars' Sect establishing a stronghold in Guanzhong was not necessarily a bad thing for the Huashan Sect.

Before Yue Buqun, he must have inquired about the Beggars' Sect's performance after it spread throughout Hubei Province.

Working seamlessly with the Wudang Sect, they almost completely wiped out the rampant martial arts forces in Hubei Province.

This will be of great help to Wudang in controlling the entire Jianghu (martial arts world) in Hubei Province!

Didn't you see that when Jia Huan went to the Songshan Sect and Shaolin Temple to pay his respects, he was always accompanied by Wudang disciples?

As for why the Songshan Sect blocked the Beggars' Sect, the reason is actually quite simple.

Yue Buqun and Zuo Lengchan are actually the same kind of people; both are ambitious and scheming.

However, due to the severe decline of his sect, he had to conceal all his ambitions and present a gentlemanly demeanor to the outside world in order to better protect himself and the Huashan Sect.

As for Zuo Lengchan, he has enough strength and there is absolutely no need for him to hide his ambitions.

How could such an entity allow a powerful martial arts force like the Beggars' Sect to plant its flag on its own territory?

With just a little change in perspective, Yue Buqun understood Zuo Lengchan's thoughts.

However, the situation of the Huashan Sect was too bad, and it really needed reliable allies to help it, or to share the enormous pressure. The Beggars' Sect was the best choice.

It must be said that Jia Huan's ten years of chivalrous deeds have been quite effective.

At least, given Yue Buqun's profound mind, he felt that the Beggars' Sect valued chivalry so much that they wouldn't go too far unless things went too far.

In fact, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze desperately needed someone to help them share the burden.

The simplest reason is that the couple also need enough time and energy to practice and improve their martial arts skills!
