As for other martial arts gangs, it is estimated that only their formal disciples and followers receive such treatment.
But can the number of official disciples of these martial arts factions be compared with that of the Beggars' Sect?
In short, the Beggars' Sect's Yuezhou branch's initiative to promote literacy was truly a grand undertaking!
Not only can it play a significant role right now, but it has also provided a steady stream of literate talent for the Beggars' Sect to establish new branches and strongholds in various regions.
With the addition of retired government clerks, down-on-their-luck scholars, and even young children from the countryside, it was possible to easily summarize and organize the information from various places.
Thanks to the renowned Yuelu Academy in Hunan Province, the literary atmosphere in this region of Hunan is exceptionally strong!
In other words, Hunan Province itself is not very economically developed; otherwise, it could have relied on the existence of Yuelu Academy to compete with the prosperous Jiangnan region in terms of literary style.
Leaving aside the digressions, the latest information on the martial arts world was collected and summarized. Finally, the editorial team led by Jia Huan conducted the final classification and summary, and then it was printed and distributed nationwide.
Ahem, this is the benefit of the Beggars' Sect having strongholds all over most of the Ming Dynasty's territory.
The "Martial Arts Monthly," produced by the Yuezhou branch, has already covered most of the Ming Dynasty's territory.
Then, local martial arts forces with Beggars' Sect strongholds could see this meticulously edited "Martial Arts Monthly," which quickly became an important source of information.
The traffic situation and the speed of information exchange at that time could only be described as appalling.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be situations like sending urgent packages over hundreds of miles!
Local martial arts factions only had some understanding of the situation within their own sphere of influence and the surrounding areas. As for places further away, they could only receive so-called news that was delayed for an unknown period of time.
The news that can truly spread rapidly throughout the martial arts world must be a major event in the martial arts world!
Such major events in the martial arts world can cause turmoil and even reshape the landscape of the martial arts community every time they occur, and are beyond the reach of small and medium-sized martial arts forces.
As for other rumors circulating in the martial arts world, that depends on luck—whether they can spread over.
But now that the Beggars' Sect published the "Martial Arts Monthly," they could learn about the affairs of the martial arts world hundreds or even thousands of miles away through the information shared in it.
As such, "Martial Arts Monthly" quickly became one of the important sources of information for the upper echelons of martial arts forces, with almost everyone owning a copy.
The Beggars' Sect earns several hundred taels of silver every month just from selling the "Martial Arts Monthly".
Even Jia Huan hadn't expected that, in order to purchase the expensive "Martial Arts Monthly," the high-ranking figures of various martial arts factions would be so willing to spend money, as if they didn't care about money at all.
As for piracy in private, no gangsters dare to mess around with it. Do they really think that all those Beggars' Sect disciples are just for show?
Chapter 452 The Power of Words in the Martial World (Please Subscribe)
The martial arts world is never peaceful!
Even if the fighting between the Demonic Sect and the Five Mountains Alliance subsides, bloodshed will still rage in other places.
Sometimes, their cruelty is no less than that of the methods used by the disciples of the demonic cult!
Such incidents as feuds in the martial arts world, where entire families are wiped out for certain interests, and even entire villages are massacred, have occurred frequently.
In the past, information spread very slowly, and it was also deliberately concealed, so many things were not even spread and were completely forgotten over time.
But at this point, the situation is quite different.
Each issue of "Wulin Monthly" contains a considerable amount of information about this.
According to the regional planning of the two capitals and thirteen provincial administrations of the Ming Dynasty, three to five major events in the martial arts world would be published in the "Martial Arts Monthly" in the region where each provincial administration was located.
In other words, high-ranking members of the martial arts world in Liaodong could learn about the feuds and even get more specific details by reading "Martial Arts Monthly".
Some news that might not have been publicized in the past can spread throughout the entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty immediately after being reported by "Martial Arts Monthly".
Whatever the conflicts between masters and disciples, family feuds, struggles for gold, silver and martial arts manuals, territorial disputes, and the wanton slaughter of ordinary people, etc.
This information, just like modern celebrity gossip, is quite attention-grabbing.
At the same time, it also gave other local gang leaders a preliminary impression of the situation in certain regions and certain ruthless figures in the martial arts world.
This matter has a huge impact!
Although the martial arts world values the strong, it is still subject to the constraints of the government and worldly morality.
Anyone who doesn't want to become a pariah must have a legitimate reason for their actions, no matter what they do!
In the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, the Qingcheng Sect wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency under the pretext of avenging the son of Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect. Even so, they suffered a great backlash.
Before the Five Mountains Alliance and the Demonic Sect clashed, the bloody conflicts that broke out in various martial arts circles across the Ming Dynasty naturally attracted a lot of attention.
It's just that outsiders didn't have access to information in the past.
Now, if a martial arts monthly magazine records and publishes these events as important news, wouldn't that cause a sensation in the martial arts world?
Those evil sects and bandits didn't care about the promotion of "Martial Arts Monthly" and probably thought it was quite good, letting them make a name for themselves in the martial arts world.
However, those self-proclaimed righteous forces and independent individuals in the martial arts world immediately revealed their true nature. Their previously decent reputations were not completely ruined, but at least they were removed from the ranks of the righteous by the martial arts community.
"The Beggars' Sect is really meddling in other people's business!"
The exposure by "Martial Arts Monthly" enraged some martial arts forces and independent individuals whose reputations were severely damaged. Some of these people, who were used to bullying others, even took direct action against the local Beggars' Sect stronghold.
Unexpectedly, the local Beggars' Gang stronghold was already prepared!
Either the place is deserted, or the true core has already moved away in time, and those who are being blamed are just ordinary disciples, or those who are too bold to leave easily.
The news quickly reached the Beggars' Sect headquarters, causing a huge uproar.
"No need to be polite with these guys. Our Beggars' Sect isn't one to be trifled with!"
At the high-level meeting, Jia Huan stated directly: "Headquarters will send enough manpower to the other side, based on their strength, to let them see the power of the Beggars' Sect!"
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
One of the elders hesitated and asked, "Won't our fellow martial artists think we're being too domineering?"
"Heh, our strength is now vastly different from what it used to be, so we don't need to worry about anything!"
Jia Huan disagreed, saying, "The 'Martial Arts Monthly' is crucial to whether the Beggars' Sect can become a top-tier martial arts force in the world. It absolutely cannot be affected when it is just beginning to emerge!"
"Besides, in the righteous world of martial arts, there are only a few forces we need to be wary of!"
"As long as we don't confront them head-on, our Beggars' Sect has nothing to worry about!"
At this time, Jia Huan's status and influence within the Beggars' Sect were even greater than that of the sect leader, Xie Feng.
As long as what he does doesn't obviously harm the interests of the Beggars' Sect, there will generally be little opposition.
that's the truth!
After hearing Jia Huan's statement, the elders, who were initially hesitant, quickly reached a consensus.
They immediately dispatched skilled members of their gang to deal with the unruly gangs and independent individuals.
After everyone had left, the gang leader, Jie Feng, and the deputy gang leader, Zhang Jinbie, asked Jia Huan what ideas and plans he had in mind that could make the Beggars' Gang a top force in the martial arts world.
The Beggars' Sect at present can only be considered a first-class martial arts force on par with the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
Besides the lack of top-tier experts in the Beggars' Sect, another reason is that the sect's rise to prominence was too short-lived.
Previously, he had been in a lukewarm state, and apart from Jia Huan's "Fist Test Under Heaven", he had not done much that caused a sensation in the martial arts world, so his reputation and influence were naturally somewhat lacking.
Of course, if the Beggars' Sect can develop steadily, Jia Huan is confident that by the time he is forty years old, the Beggars' Sect will become a top force in the martial arts world.
But he doesn't have much patience for slow and steady development. Why not use a better approach?
"The 'Martial Arts Monthly' is crucial to our Beggars' Sect's voice in the martial arts world!"
Jia Huan didn't say much, only making a light nod.
Both Xie Feng and Zhang Jinbie were seasoned veterans, and they quickly realized what was happening, their faces filled with shock.
The way he looked at Jia Huan was different, and even his breathing became heavy, clearly indicating that he was very agitated.
Jia Huan smiled faintly and remained silent, knowing that the two leaders understood.
Once "Wulin Monthly" establishes sufficient authority and impartiality, its influence will be equivalent to a combination of the "People's Daily" (a martial arts version of the People's Daily) and CCTV.
Any martial arts faction or independent individual who still values their reputation will no longer dare to act so recklessly; at the very least, they must use methods that leave outsiders with nothing to say.
Just like at the beginning of the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, when the Qingcheng Sect wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency, Yu Canghai would definitely have carefully considered the consequences before taking action.
As long as the tone of "Martial Arts Monthly" remains sound, it will have an indescribably positive effect on the atmosphere of the entire martial arts world in the Ming Dynasty and other aspects.
Of course, this makes the Beggars' Sect an easy target for certain forces and ambitious individuals, who will inevitably take various targeted actions against them behind the scenes.
At this point, it depends on whether the Beggars' Sect itself is strong enough and powerful enough to withstand the strong external pressure. That is the key!
Given Jia Huan's current strength, even if Zuo Lengchan intervened, it would be to no avail!
Even if Feng Qingyang comes, he can only gain a slight advantage. It's highly unlikely that he can achieve the same level of dominance by relying on his internal energy cultivation as he did on Mount Hua.
At this moment, Jia Huan's internal energy cultivation had reached the level of having just opened the twelve meridians!
Even if his internal energy accumulation is insufficient, in terms of strength and realm, he is no worse than Feng Qingyang!
Unless, the top experts of the righteous path join forces to coerce, but such a thing is unlikely to happen.
Don't forget, Jia Huan also has a cooperative relationship with the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
Besides publishing news from the martial arts world, "Martial Arts Monthly" also had a section dedicated to wanted posters. It listed all the martial arts bandits and notorious scoundrels directly wanted by the government, making it a kind of unofficial wanted list for the martial arts world.
The goal is simple: to guide a group of skilled martial arts heroes to use bounty hunting as a means and source of income, rather than the traditional 'robbing the rich to help the poor' practice.
This matter received strong support from the government, the Six Doors, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
