Wuxia Fantasy: Starting with the Revitalization of the Beggars' Sect

After traveling thirty li, Lin Ye and Wang Nian arrived at Zhongmu. He suddenly stopped, as if something had occurred to him.

Wang Nian asked curiously, "Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

When they arrived, Wang Nian was a three-bag disciple and Lin Ye was a two-bag disciple. Now that they are returning, he is still a three-bag disciple, while Lin Ye is a five-bag disciple.

In the gang, status is the most important thing, and Wang Nian's tone was more polite than before.

Lin Ye had his own ideas.

Among the Beggars' Sect members, loyalty is paramount. He knew that Yan Benlei wanted him to go back and reminisce with Xu Shou before transferring him to a branch headquarters.

However, with Yan Benlei currently supporting the gang, the branch headquarters is unguarded. If the Sky Eagle Cult arrives at this time, there may be no one to deal with it.

His round trip would take a lot of time.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye said to Wang Nian, "Brother Wang, you go back first. I have to stay at the branch. I'm afraid the people from the Sky Eagle Sect will take the opportunity to snatch that branch leader surnamed Yu."

Wang Nian thought it over and found it reasonable, so he said, "Brother Lin is right. Then you should go back to the branch, and I will explain to Brother Xu myself."

Lin Ye borrowed paper and pen, wrote a letter, and handed it to Wang Nian.

Even if I don't go back, it's best to use words instead of words.

Wang Nian took the letter, bid farewell to Lin Ye, and returned to Taipingdian Liaokou.

Lin Ye returned the way he came. Since he didn't need to worry about Wang Nian's pace, he traveled alone and returned to the branch headquarters in a little over an hour.

The deputy leader was puzzled when he saw him return, but was overjoyed when he heard that he had come back to prevent the Eagle Cult from kidnapping people.

With the leader absent, although he had ordered his brothers to be on high alert, it was inevitable that there would be oversights. Now that Lin Ye had returned, he was much more confident.

The message has been sent out: if the Sky Eagle Sect wants them to release Yu Sanpao, they need to bring five hundred taels of silver to ransom him.

Five hundred taels of silver is a lot, but it's nothing to the Sky Eagle Sect.

In the original novel, Yin Tianzheng gave gifts to his son-in-law Zhang Cuishan and Wudang, and the gifts were already priceless.

The people of the Sky Eagle Cult won't ignore Yu Sanpao either. After all, if you don't care about your subordinates, who will be willing to risk their lives for you in the future?

Whether the money used to redeem Yu Sanpao was silver or a knife remains unknown.

Just as the deputy leader was wondering what the Sky Eagle Church was going to do, a disciple came to report that Yin Wufu of the Sky Eagle Church was requesting an audience.

"Yin Wufu..."

The deputy leader murmured the name, but had no recollection of it. He had never heard of this person in the Sky Eagle Sect and had no idea who the newcomer was.

She wanted to ask Lin Ye, who was standing to the side, but then thought that he was too young to know.

"How many of them came?" the deputy leader continued to ask.

"The two with swords, along with the one surnamed Yin, make a total of three. There are also four attendants carrying two boxes."

The deputy captain paused for a moment, then frowned. "Only two with swords... They've got guts. Bring them in."

He thought the other side would bring a large group of people, and there would be at least a fierce battle. He didn't expect that there were only two people with swords, and the leader was a nobody. Wasn't he afraid that the Beggars' Sect would skin them alive?

The disciple went down and soon brought the person back up.

The leader appeared to be around fifty years old, with a scar running across his forehead to the corner of his mouth, and he was rather ugly.

The two people behind him were dressed in ordinary black robes. Lin Ye vaguely remembered one of them; he was one of the five Sky Eagle Sect disciples who had been released that day.

The last four steps were unsteady, unlike those of martial artists, more like those of ordinary followers.

With two soft sounds, they placed the two boxes on the ground.

The two boxes were the same size and could be moved by one person, but the Sky Eagle Sect required two people to move one box, which shows the Sky Eagle Sect's grand style.

The leader smiled and said, "My name is Yin Wufu, greetings..."

Yin Wufu cupped his hands slightly, paused briefly, and immediately a Beggar Clan disciple said, "This is our Vice Leader Wu."

Upon hearing the explanation, Yin Wufu continued, "Greetings, Vice Chief Wu."

Lin Ye saw it all.

He thought to himself, "So this is Yin Wufu."

Yin Tianzheng had three personal servants: Yin Wufu, Yin Wulu, and Yin Wushou.

These three were originally notorious thieves in the southwestern underworld. When they were besieged by a group of experts, they were rescued by Yin Tianzheng. Grateful for his kindness, they went into hiding and changed their names to Yin Wufu, Yin Wulu, and Yin Wushou, willingly becoming slaves.

The three were extremely skilled in martial arts, and the chief镖头 (chief镖头, head镖师, chief镖师) of the three major镖局 (镖局, escort agencies) were no match for them. Among them, Yin Wushou completely defeated "Divine Spear Eight Directions Tan Ruilai", forcing the opponent to cut off his own arm.

The three never participated in the affairs of the Heavenly Eagle Sect's inner altars, but their status was only below the sect leader, the three inner halls, and the five outer altars.

The strength of any one of them alone is probably far superior to that of the helmsman Yan Benlei; the three of them working together would be unstoppable.

The three are ruthless, and although only Yin Wufu and two disciples have come so far, we must still be wary.

Lin Ye secretly focused his attention and became vigilant.

Yin Wufu cupped his hands but did not bow, smiled but was not obsequious, his gaze lingered briefly on Vice Chief Wu's face before sweeping around to the left and right, and said with a smile:

"I wonder which brother captured Chief Fish?"

Deputy Chief Wu gestured to Lin Ye and said:

"Even our Brother Lin, let alone one Fish Chief, could capture three or four Fish Chiefs without difficulty."

"Enough nonsense, where's the ransom?"

Yin Wufu smiled, not in a hurry to reply, but instead sized up Lin Ye, noticing his burly figure and resolute face, truly a dragon among men.

Seeing his composed and reserved demeanor, he secretly thought to himself that he was indeed a master of internal martial arts.

He withdrew his gaze and said, "I've naturally brought the silver, but I still don't know whether Chief Yu is alive or dead."

Knowing that he wanted to confirm the hostage, Deputy Chief Wu ordered his disciples to bring Yu Sanpao up.

A moment later, two Beggars' Sect disciples pushed Yu Sanpao up.

"Unlucky Master..."

Upon seeing Yin Wufu, Yu Sanpao lowered his head, filled with fear and shame: "I have failed in my duty and deserve to die."

Yin Wufu glanced at Yu Sanpao and laughed, "Not bad, you're still in good shape."

Yin Wufu was only responsible for bringing the people back; how the sect dealt with them was none of his business, so there was no question of forgiveness or blame.

The deputy leader said, "Five hundred taels of silver, not a penny less, and I can't take it with me."

Yin Wufu smiled and said, "Your gang underestimates our Sky Eagle Sect. Five hundred taels of silver? The value of our Sky Eagle Sect leader is much more than that."

With a wave of his hand, two attendants opened a box, revealing silver inside, which amounted to more than five hundred taels.

Yin Wufu said:

"This is one thousand taels of silver, the silver for redeeming the fish helmsman."

At this moment, the attendant opened another chest, and found that it contained the same amount of silver as the first chest.

"This other thousand taels is a gift for Brother Lin. Thank you for sparing Chief Yu's life."

The Beggars' Sect disciples gasped in astonishment upon seeing this. They had never seen so much silver before. They had intended to take a huge bite out of the Sky Eagle Sect, but they hadn't expected that they hadn't asked for enough.
