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

But Ji Liefeng had just made some arrogant remarks. If he were to beg for mercy now, he would probably never be able to hold his head up in front of his brothers again.

"Lin Ye, I am the Eighth Bag Elder of the Beggars' Sect. You've only just assumed the position of sect leader, and you already want to use me to establish your authority!"

The implication was that there was no objection to Lin Ye temporarily taking over as the leader of the Beggars' Sect, since he was familiar with the Dragon-Capturing Technique.

Lin Ye sneered:

"Elder Ji, you look quite greasy. While Chief Shi was recuperating, you must have made quite a bit of money, right?"

These words struck like a thunderbolt, and Ji Liefeng momentarily forgot to struggle. "What, what are you saying?"

"Didn't you pocket the money that the Central Committee allocated to Dayong's branch to fight the Tartars?"

Upon hearing this, the three elders were all shocked. They wielded their staffs and demanded, "Elder Ji, is this really true?!"

"Slander! False accusations! I, Ji Liefeng, am an upright and honorable person. How could I possibly betray the Beggars' Sect like this?"

Lin Ye smiled and said:

"You know perfectly well whether it's true or not, so there's no need to rush to explain. Go back and check the account books, and you'll know for sure. Besides, you also killed Zhao Zhendong, the former head of Zhao Family Village in Wei County, didn't you?"

"Nonsense! When did I lay a hand on you!"

"Of course you won't do it yourself. You'll just order someone to use a sneaky trick. How could Master Zhao possibly defend against that? Once Master Zhao is dead, you'll collude with the leader of Whirlwind Village to plunder Zhao Family Village. Then you'll double-cross them, taking advantage of the leader's unpreparedness to wipe out Whirlwind Village, keeping everything for yourself. Isn't that right?"

Ji Liefeng was taken aback, and his face turned pale in an instant. He had arranged this matter very meticulously, so how did this kid know?

The leader of the dragon-headed cleaver shouted, "Elder Ji, so this is what the bandit suppression at Whirlwind Stronghold was all about?"

"No...no, it wasn't me, I didn't do those things."

Seeing Elder Ji's hesitant manner, everyone understood.

Lin Ye ignored him and shouted angrily, "What use is someone as despicable as you in this world!"

He tossed him upwards, and as he fell, he struck him hard in the chest with a palm strike. Instantly, his internal organs shattered, and he was sent flying, crashing into the rocks at the edge of the cliff. He vomited several liters of blood and died instantly.

Lin Ye coldly stared at the corpse on the ground.

Little did Ji Liefeng know that Lin Ye, in order to revitalize the Beggars' Sect, would not let any news about the sect slip by.

After all, in order for trees to grow strong and healthy, it is essential to get rid of woodworms.

The Beggars' Sect is the largest sect in the world. With so many members, it's inevitable that there are some with wicked intentions. Since Shi Huolong stopped interfering in the sect's affairs, some people have become even more audacious and reckless.

They completely forgot that the Beggars' Sect was founded on the principles of chivalry and righteousness.

Now that Lin Ye has taken over the position of gang leader, he naturally has to clean things up properly.

He originally wanted to target Ji Liefeng, but he ended up walking right into the line of fire.

This move serves both to establish authority and to clean up the mess.

The beggars were all horrified by this scene, but they thought that Elder Ji deserved his punishment. If it weren't for Lin Ye, they would still be kept in the dark. Therefore, no one dared to say anything, and instead, they admired Lin Ye even more.

The elder who transmitted the skills said:

"Elder Ji has insulted the reputation of our Beggars' Clan, a crime that is unforgivable and deserving of death. Chief Lin's timely cleanup of his own ranks is truly a blessing for the clan."

He then looked at Lin Ye and said earnestly, "Chief, please give me any orders from now on."

These words were spoken with utmost sincerity, and all the elders and disciples echoed them in unison, expressing their utmost devotion.

Lin Ye nodded secretly, it seemed that he had finally convinced them a little.

"Elders, how is the situation here?"

With the matters within the sect temporarily settled, Lin Ye then inquired of the elders about the six major sects and the Ming Cult.

When the matter was brought up, Elder Chuan Gong explained the collected information to Lin Ye one by one, and Lin Ye had a general understanding of the situation.

Although the six major sects have surrounded the Ming Cult, they did not set off together, but rather at different times. However, they are making steady progress and will soon reach the headquarters at Bright Peak.

It seems that Cheng Kun's plan to storm the main headquarters is drawing near.

In the original novel, Cheng Kun filled the secret passage leading to Bright Peak with gunpowder, attempting to blow it up.

This matter had nothing to do with him, but the opportunity was rare, and he needed to seize it to kill Cheng Kun.

Otherwise, where will he sneak off to next?

Such a scumbag, coupled with the grudge of being betrayed, cannot be forgiven under any circumstances.

After discussion, Lin Ye decided to set off first, as his internal strength and lightness skills were far superior to those of the beggars, considering that they could not travel quickly.

Order them to follow behind, and if they encounter any members of the Demonic Cult, kill them without hesitation.

The six major factions have already made their advance; they can't just be there to reap the rewards.

They were simply instructed to be wary of the Ming Cult's Four Great Protectors, the Left and Right Envoys of Light, the Five Wanderers, and the Five Elements Flags.

These people are either highly skilled in martial arts or have unpredictable formations; in short, they are not easy to deal with.

The beggars simply shouted "Yes" in unison, their momentum undiminished, showing no fear of death and no hesitation whatsoever.

Lin Ye nodded secretly, then used his lightness skill to set off first.

According to intelligence reports, if we head west and then turn north, we will be able to see Bright Summit.

After traveling thirty miles, they occasionally saw corpses. Upon examining their clothing, they found none of the attire of the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song.

Cheng Kun infiltrated the Shaolin Temple, became a disciple of the monk Kongjian, and received the Dharma name Yuanzhen.

The monk Kongjian was also a highly skilled master, whose martial arts prowess ranked among the top in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. He was a figure who would make even the Four Great Protectors of the Ming Cult turn pale.

Unfortunately, in order to resolve the feud, he willingly died at the hands of Xie Xun, the Golden-haired Lion King, using the Seven Wounds Fist, which was a great loss to the martial arts world.

During this siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects, Cheng Kun must have been mixed up with the Shaolin sect.

If you encounter the Shaolin sect, you might just run into Cheng Kun.

Lin Ye pondered for a moment, and after traveling another thirty miles, he still couldn't find any trace of the Shaolin Sect. Instead, he saw the corpses of several male disciples of the Emei Sect.

"Emei Sect..."

Seeing the Emei Sect, Lin Ye was quite moved. Several years had passed since they parted ways, and he never expected to encounter Abbess Miejue again.

However, he doesn't have time to get entangled with her right now.

The Kunlun Mountains are rugged, and when I came here years ago, the forests were covered in snow. When I left, it was already past the end of the year.

Although it was already deep winter, the terrain was different; most of the snow in the lowlands had already melted, and sand occupied large areas of the land.

However, Lin Ye didn't take this route back then.

They traveled nearly a hundred li westward, and it was already dark. They spent the night in the woods and wilderness, and continued westward the next day, traveling for another hundred li or so.

Suddenly, he heard the sounds of clashing weapons and shouts coming from ahead. Lin Ye, with his profound inner strength, could hear very far. He ran in that direction for a while before he could see several people jumping and fighting fiercely in the distance.

As they drew closer, they could see that it was three white-robed Taoists wielding weapons fighting a middle-aged man in a green robe.

The middle-aged man in the green robe was dressed in a style that seemed somewhat familiar, but it was the same as the clothes worn by Yu Daiyan of Wudang.

Lin Ye already knew in his heart that the middle-aged man was most likely Yin Liting, the sixth hero of Wudang.

Near the four people fighting, there was a crowd of onlookers.

There were men and women, and it was clearly the Emei Sect. The leading nun had gray hair and held the Yitian Sword. Who else could it be but Abbess Miejue?
