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

Zhang Sanfeng intervened for several reasons.

Firstly, it was to test Lin Ye's martial arts skills. If there was anything wrong with him, they would capture him and take him to Wudang Mountain for a thorough investigation.

Fortunately, he tested Lin Ye's internal energy and found that it was indeed the pure Yang Nine Yang Divine Skill, which also possessed the fierce palm techniques of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. Only then did he confirm that what Lin Ye said was true, and that the Beggar Clan leader's words were indeed true.

At the same time, he noticed that several of Lin Ye's meridians were blocked. Considering Lin Ye's kindness to Wuji and the Wudang Sect, he gave him some pointers.

Understanding the intricacies of the matter, Lin Ye was quite grateful and secretly admired Zhang Sanfeng for truly deserving of the title of a grandmaster of martial arts.

Lin Ye clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I was unable to understand and caused you to be injured. I am truly ashamed."

Zhang Sanfeng laughed and said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about. I'll be fine after half a day of rest. Chief Lin, if you have anything to attend to, then go ahead."

Lin Ye nodded. "Master, Third Master Yu, farewell."

He leaped onto the horse, cracked the whip, and dust billowed as the horse galloped away.

……

Kunlun Mountains.

A secluded spot nestled among precipitous peaks.

The beggars are resting here.

On this westward journey, apart from the leader of the sect who stayed behind to guard the main altar, the other three elders and a group of disciples, a total of about forty elite members of the sect, all gathered here.

They arrived here half a day ago, and heard that all six major sects had already arrived.

As the vanguard, the six major sects encountered the Demonic Cult members frequently, following them closely. The corpses of Demonic Cult members were occasionally seen, including some of the corpses of disciples from the six major sects.

They originally wanted to get involved, but they were supposed to meet here, and the Lin brothers were on their way. It would be even better if they could wait for the gang leader to arrive.

Suddenly, a plume of blue smoke rose in the distance to the north. The beggars stared intently in the direction and knew that a fight had broken out somewhere again.

As the beggars were intently watching and lost in thought, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the southeast.

The beggars turned around and saw two disciples from their own gang approaching on horseback.

One of them had been sent to inform Lin Ye. They knew the two men came from Lin Ye, but they only saw the two men and not Lin Ye's brothers, which made them slightly suspicious.

After the two dismounted, he asked, "Where is Elder Lin?"

"The gang leader ordered us to come and inform him first, saying he would arrive shortly."

"The gang leader?"

Upon hearing the news of the gang leader, the beggars were taken aback, but were overjoyed. They didn't delve into the hidden meaning in the disciple's words, only thinking that Lin Ye had finally found Gang Leader Shi. They didn't realize that the gang leader they were talking about was Lin Ye.

Not long after, another person rode up from behind; it was Lin Ye.

The beggars were overjoyed to see this.

Lin Ye traveled day and night and finally caught up. Seeing his gang's disciples gathered there, he rode up close and reined in his horse.

The two disciples immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said in unison, "Chief."

The three elders, bewildered, brandished their staffs and demanded an explanation to the two disciples:

"What's going on? Don't you recognize Elder Lin? Why are you calling him 'Chief'?"

The elder who was passing on his skills looked behind Lin Ye and asked, "Brother Lin, where is the gang leader?"

One of the disciples interrupted, saying, "Since Chief Shi cannot come, Chief Lin has been appointed to temporarily assume the position of chief."

These words caused an uproar among the beggars, and a chorus of discussion arose.

The three elders found it hard to believe, and one of them asked, "Brother Lin Ye, is it really so?"

Lin Ye said, "That's right, this is the dog-beating stick."

As Lin Ye spoke, he took out a cloth-wrapped stick, and when he unwrapped it, the green bamboo dog-beating stick was revealed inside.

Familiar objects came into view. The elder who was passing on his skills took the weapon with trembling hands and examined it from head to toe. It was indeed the Zhen Gang's treasure, the Dog-Beating Stick.

The dragon head of the staff snatched it away, examined it closely, and his anxious expression immediately turned to surprise.

He and the other two elders exchanged glances, both receiving affirmation from each other's eyes.

The elder who was passing on his skills took back the Dog-Beating Stick, held it with both hands, and knelt down on one knee with a thud. "All disciples of the Beggars' Sect respectfully welcome the new sect leader."

As soon as he shouted this, the other disciples knelt down and shouted in unison, "Welcome the new leader!"

Lin Ye said, "No need for such formalities."

After they stood up, he said, "I am not capable, and I am only temporarily acting as the leader. Once this matter is settled, we need to welcome back Leader Shi and discuss the position of leader again."

The three elders looked at each other and said in unison, "We obey the leader's command."

The incident happened so suddenly that the beggars, including the three elders, were unsure how to react. However, the Dog-Beating Stick was indeed on Lin Ye, and the two disciples had said so.

Although the beggars had doubts, they reluctantly accepted Lin Ye as their acting leader. However, the three elders were responsible for the Beggars' Sect and would inevitably investigate him thoroughly in the future.

Suddenly, an elder with eight bags shouted:

"Why should we recognize him as our gang leader? I, surnamed Ji, am the first to object. Who knows, he might have killed Gang Leader Shi, stolen the Dog-Beating Stick, and now he's here pretending to be the gang leader."

Lin Ye's gaze swept over the man, who was short and stout with a ruddy complexion, looking like a butcher from a meat market. He was Ji Liefeng, the leader of the Dayong branch of the Beggars' Sect.

He had met this person once when he became an Eight-Bag Disciple, and he remembered that the person did not have a good expression at that time.

He expected that someone would object, but he didn't expect that it wasn't the four elders, but this eight-bag elder who stepped forward first.

Elder Ji wanted to wait for the three elders to say something, but they didn't make any move. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up and scolded them.

The Transmission Elder frowned slightly: "Elder Ji, stop talking. Why don't you beg the Sect Leader for forgiveness?"

Elder Ji's actions this season are truly hard to describe. If there are any objections, go back and investigate the situation. If there are indeed clues, then the people will no longer recognize him as the gang leader.

The Beggars' Sect's establishment of authority hinges on this one move; they seem completely oblivious to the priorities of the current situation.

The Transmission Elder tried to persuade Elder Ji with kind words, but Elder Ji was unmoved.

"Forgive me for what? I won't ask him for forgiveness. If he has the guts, let him kill me with one blow."

Elder Ji raised his chest, making his short and stout figure appear several inches taller.

Lin Ye wasn't angry. He looked straight at him and slowly said:

"I am a junior member of the gang, and I understand your dissatisfaction with my becoming the gang leader. But I cannot let you off the hook by falsely accusing me of killing Gang Leader Shi."

Ji Liefeng was about to say, "What are you trying to do?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ye stretched out his tiger claw and reached out towards him. Although they were several feet apart, Ji Liefeng was suddenly pulled towards him by the powerful internal force in Lin Ye's hand.

Lin Ye grabbed his throat.

"Dragon-Capturing Skill!"

The three elders exclaimed in surprise.

The mental techniques and incantations of this Dragon-Capturing Skill have been passed down orally from generation to generation of gang leaders, but no one has ever mastered it.

Lin Ye possessed the Dog-Beating Stick, which could be attributed to his plot against the gang leader or theft, but the Dragon-Capturing Skill could only be taught by the gang leader himself.

Even if Lin Ye could snatch the Dog-Beating Stick, he could never force Chief Shi to pass on his skills. In other words, what Brother Lin said was true.

Once the Dragon-Capturing Skill was demonstrated, all the elders were already seven, eight, or nine parts convinced again.

Ji Liefeng was even more horrified. Lin Ye was much taller than him, and his internal strength was incomparable. This time, he was held in the air by Lin Ye and could not break free at all.
