Previously, the Bounty Hall, which was set up within the Yuezhou branch, was such an organization!
Right now, it's just a matter of expanding the scope of the bounty to the entire martial arts world.
Also taking into account that the heroes of the martial arts world do not trust the government, completing bounty missions and collecting bonuses through the Beggars' Sect branches and strongholds is a pretty good way to make money.
With the involvement of the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, especially the deterrent power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, local officials would have to think twice before trying to manipulate things and embezzle bonuses.
If such a thing were to happen, even if local officials blinded by greed disregarded the threat posed by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Beggars' Sect could still ensure their annihilation without a trace.
On the other hand, through the Beggars' Sect's branches and strongholds throughout the country, they could also do other things.
It's just that this matter is a bit too sensitive, and Jia Huan won't easily say it out loud.
Even so, the gang leader, Jie Feng, and the deputy gang leader, Zhang Jinbie, were already dumbfounded and their hearts were pounding with excitement.
All the doubts and hesitations in my heart vanished!
Instead, there was a surge of excitement and exhilaration, an eagerness to make it happen immediately!
"Elder Jia, rest assured, if we encounter any top-tier martial arts masters who don't give us face, Vice Chief Zhang and I will take turns to resolve these troubles!"
After his initial excitement subsided, Xie Feng solemnly said to Jia Huan, "As for Elder Jia, you shouldn't make any rash moves!"
Zhang Jinbie, standing next to him, nodded repeatedly, clearly sharing the same thought.
Jia Huan smiled slightly and agreed, thinking that this was for the best.
At this point, he is a strategic deterrent force. Not deploying him is far more effective than deploying him. It is enough for the outside world to know that he is a top martial arts master.
There's no need to worry about that; with the Beggars' Sect helping with publicity, there won't be any problems.
What happened next was not unexpected; almost everything was within our expectations.
The Beggars' Sect promptly dispatched its experts and a large number of disciples to wipe out any Jianghu forces and independent individuals who dared to directly target its branches and strongholds, showing no mercy whatsoever.
In the second issue of "Martial Arts Monthly," the matter was directly exposed to serve as a warning to those who harbored resentment and ill intentions, showing them that the Beggars' Sect was not so easy to target.
The Beggars' Sect's swift and decisive actions, along with their undisguised resolute attitude, ultimately achieved the desired effect.
At least, even though the monthly "Martial Arts Monthly" continued to expose the tragic events that occurred in various parts of the martial arts world and the various horrific incidents that made people shudder, it did not trigger much strong backlash.
Especially after the Beggars' Sect once again dispatched its elite forces, with the cooperation of the local Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, to wipe out a gang of Jianghu bandits who had plagued the area for more than a decade, there were no more obvious targeted measures.
Damn, the Beggars' Sect has already gotten involved with the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. How can they possibly compete now?
Of course, it was only natural that the Beggars' Sect was condemned as the lackeys and henchmen of the imperial court. However, the higher-ups of the Beggars' Sect didn't care much, since they had already gained benefits!
Seeing that things were going quite smoothly, Jia Huan began his next phase of action.
Chapter 453 Once Again Causes a Sensation in the Martial Arts World (Please Subscribe)
Under Jia Huan's personal supervision, the "Martial Arts Monthly," edited and published by the Beggars' Sect, was successfully published for six issues, meaning it operated smoothly for half a year.
The results are fantastic, and the impact is enormous.
Just as Jia Huan and the two gang leaders said, with the Beggars' Sect's supervision and the deterrent effect of "Martial Arts Monthly," the overall atmosphere of violence in the martial arts world has decreased significantly.
In particular, a few gangs that didn't believe in evil had their entire families wiped out due to conflicts of interest, and were eventually wanted by the local government, which led to their own downfall.
The news caused a sensation throughout the martial arts world and shocked many people.
Only then did they realize that not only did they enjoy reading "Martial Arts Monthly," but people in government offices also read its contents.
This is outrageous!
Therefore, apart from the villains and outlaws who continue to act as they please, even at the cost of becoming notorious figures on the wanted list, the other arrogant and domineering forces in the martial arts world have become much more obedient and well-behaved.
Based on such an effect, if any fellow martial artists were to come knocking on their door to demand an explanation, the Beggars' Clan would be able to respond with absolute confidence and without any hesitation.
At the same time, "Wulin Monthly" has become one of the main information channels for many high-ranking figures in the martial arts world, as well as many independent masters, to understand the situation in the martial arts world and check the dynamics of the martial arts world in various places.
Yes, and we need to remove "one of"!
After all, we were still in the feudal agricultural era. Transportation relied mainly on walking, and communication relied mainly on shouting. Without sufficient strength and financial resources, it was impossible to build an intelligence network.
In the entire martial arts world, the number of martial arts forces that can extend their influence and intelligence gathering capabilities to other regions can basically be counted on two hands.
The Beggars' Sect is clearly in the top tier, unmatched by anyone else!
Similarly, the Beggars' Sect's branches and strongholds in various regions earn a certain amount of income every month simply from selling intelligence.
Intelligence fees are charged in different amounts depending on the level of secrecy and importance of the intelligence.
Jia Huan and the Beggars' Sect leaders were quite satisfied with this; being able to make money from information was a good thing!
It's not that there aren't other martial arts forces that want to reach out, but the Beggars' Sect's higher-ups simply ignore them!
At most, they would just be asked to spend a large sum of money to remove any potentially detrimental information.
Does this operating mode look familiar?
In short, Jia Huan wanted to maximize the Beggars' Sect's information-gathering capabilities. If selling intelligence could guarantee the operating expenses of a stronghold for one to several months, that would be ideal.
Even if some powerful figures in the underworld were furious, there was nothing they could do about it.
Just as Jia Huan had guessed, with the increase in the Beggars' Sect's influence and credibility, its reputation also rose rapidly, and it was now almost on par with the Songshan Sect.
Moreover, the exchanges and correspondence between the major gangs and forces in the martial arts world and the Beggars' Sect have increased significantly!
With such obvious benefits right in front of them, no one in the Beggars' Sect leadership dared to say anything more.
Of course, there are gains and losses. The Beggars' Sect's sudden rise, especially since it relied on its powerful intelligence gathering capabilities, naturally attracted the attention of the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
As for local officials and the imperial court, they didn't care about these things at all; they were only interested in information dissemination methods like the "Martial Arts Monthly."
Therefore, Jia Huan had no choice but to personally negotiate with the leaders of the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard in Hunan Province, and had to further improve his relationship with these two government agencies. This was something he had to do.
Fortunately, both the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard only needed the Beggars' Sect's strong intelligence gathering capabilities to help them complete their tasks; they had no intention of actively getting involved in Jianghu affairs.
That's great! The Beggars' Sect will naturally cooperate actively!
For example, when it comes to capturing notorious womanizers and notorious bandits who roam various places, the Beggars' Sect branches and strongholds provide specific intelligence, and the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are mobilized to solve the problem.
So far, the teamwork has been quite good!
Even if fellow martial arts practitioners criticize them, the Beggars' Sect can still refute them with righteous indignation: they are nothing more than flower thieves and vicious bandits who deserve to be killed by everyone. It is not worth it for them to die or be captured.
What fool would dare to take on such a huge burden?
In any case, the major forces and gangs in the martial arts world are all vaguely aware of the relationship between the Beggars' Sect, the Six Doors, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. As long as it's not a core conflict of interest, they generally won't cause too much trouble.
Otherwise, if the Beggars' Sect is determined to target them, few sects will be able to withstand it!
Seeing that the situation was very promising, Jia Huan prepared to take further action.
That day, he took out what he had put together and went directly to the headquarters on Junshan Island, asking the two gang leaders to help check it out and see if there was anything missing.
"Elder Jia, isn't this a bit too offensive?"
Seeing what Jia Huan had produced, the gang leader Xie Feng's face twitched, and he said somewhat guiltily, "If word gets out, it could easily cause a stir in the martial arts world!"
The deputy leader, Zhang Jinbie, didn't speak, but his complicated expression revealed his turbulent emotions.
"This is the conclusion I reached through personal discussions and exchanges. Who disagrees?"
Jia Huan said irritably, "If you're not satisfied, then come to Yuezhou and fight me again!"
At this point, his expression suddenly brightened, and he said with a grin, "Or, they could compete with the martial arts masters ranked ahead of them!"
"So, you were prepared all along!"
Xie Feng chuckled and said, "But, do we really need to make such a big deal out of this?"
"no way!"
Jia Huan spread his hands, saying helplessly, "Don't be fooled by the considerable influence of 'Martial Arts Monthly' these days; in my opinion, it's still far from enough!"
"Putting everything else aside, if major martial arts sects like Shaolin and Wudang were to imitate this, they could take away a large portion of the attention from 'Martial Arts Monthly'!"
"If other top-tier sects follow suit, the influence and credibility of our 'Martial Arts Monthly' will be greatly affected!"
Jie Feng and Zhang Jinbie looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting that Jia Huan had considered things so far ahead.
A feeling of guilt welled up inside me; it seemed I had been too happy for too long.
They genuinely believed that "Martial Arts Monthly" would be unique, but now even its founder, Jia Huan, says that other major forces in the martial arts world can easily imitate it.
Perhaps their intelligence-gathering capabilities cannot compare to those of the Beggars' Sect.
However, as long as they understand the situation within their territory, it will be enough for them to publish a monthly magazine, which they can all guess.
"Therefore, we must create something unique and wonderful!"
Jia Huan then laughed and said, "In the martial world, what everyone values most is the strength of their martial arts, as well as divine weapons and all sorts of martial arts training methods!"
"Our Beggars' Sect has a significant advantage in this information gathering!"
"Besides, if they can't directly 'test the world with their fists' like I did before, and personally experience the martial arts strength of the masters from various righteous sects, they won't dare to follow suit and create such a ranking list!"
Jie Feng and Zhang Jingbie exchanged a glance and couldn't help but let out a wry smile!
The reasons and explanations have been explained so clearly that if they disagree, they seem to lack vision and perspective.
"As for the potential unrest in the martial arts world, there's even less to worry about!"
Jia Huan eased the psychological pressure on the two gang leaders: "You are both righteous masters. Even if you are not convinced, you can find an opportunity to have a fair and open exchange and spar. There is no need to play any underhanded tricks!"
