“Speak.” Hong Qigong stood there without performing any grand gestures.

Liu Ruoxin said, "In recent years, the Beggar Clan's practice of harvesting and mutilating living people has become commonplace throughout the Great Zhou. If you, Seventh Master, cannot strictly control this, the number of Beggar Clan disciples who have been executed will be far more than just these."

Speaking of this, Hong Qigong blushed and said, "It's because my Beggars' Sect is not well managed. Please go back and report to the Emperor, and tell him that I, Old Beggar, am aware of this."

Liu Ruoxin said, "His Majesty hopes you can become the leader of the Beggars' Sect and properly handle some of the sect's dirty deeds." As she spoke, she gave Quan Guanqing a special look.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chongxiao was furious. He wanted to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect; otherwise, why would he have done all this?

But Hong Qigong's prestige was something he could not match.

Then Xiao Feng stepped forward with the Dog-Beating Stick and handed it to Hong Qigong. "Qigong, I'm entrusting this Dog-Beating Stick to you. My master once said that the position of Beggar Clan leader should have been yours, but you were unwilling to take on this responsibility. Now that I'm leaving, I'll leave the Beggar Clan to you."

"Sigh!" Hong Qigong sighed and took the Dog-Beating Stick. "I'm getting old, and I still have to go through this again." He was used to being free and unrestrained, and he really didn't want to manage the behemoth that was the Beggars' Sect. It was too exhausting.

Then he said to Xiao Feng, "Feng'er, this old beggar hopes that you can also do your part in Beiyuan to maintain peace between the two countries."

"Feng'er will." Xiao Feng nodded in agreement.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yuanshan snorted twice, not saying anything harsh to Hong Qigong. What happened back then had nothing to do with Hong Qigong. On the contrary, he took good care of his son, and they were in fact master and disciple.

But he wasn't so polite to Zhiguang and Zhao Qiansun. He coldly shouted, "Next March, I hope to see you two at Shaoshi Mountain. At that time, whether it's Xuanci, Murong Bo, or you, none of you will be able to escape, and you shouldn't even think about escaping."

"Amitabha," Zhiguang chanted a Buddhist prayer. "This old monk will certainly keep the appointment on time."

Zhao Qiansun sneered, "I'm not afraid of you. I'll just consider myself as having lived thirty more years."

"Haha, good!" Xiao Yuanshan said to Xiao Feng, "Feng'er, let's go."

Chapter 28 The Eight Sounds of Heavenly Dragons - Soul-Capturing Sound

Xiao Feng bid farewell to Duan Yu and Tang Bohu, then wished the Beggars' Sect members well before leaving with Xiao Yuanshan.

He is Xiao Yuanshan's son; this is an indisputable fact that cannot be changed.

After going through a series of internal struggles, he had gradually accepted it, but he was still somewhat taciturn along the way.

Xiao Yuanshan also knew that he needed to give him a gradual adaptation process.

Lin Zhu thought to himself, 'This ending is good; things shouldn't be so tragic afterward. But Shaoshi Mountain should be quite lively next year; I can go check it out.'

Hong Qigong stepped forward with his Dog-Beating Stick in hand, cupped his hands to the heroes of the martial arts world from all directions, and said, "Gentlemen, today I, Hong Qigong, take over as the leader of the Beggars' Clan. Please bear witness."

"Chief Hong, you flatter me." Everyone present admired Hong Qigong's character and returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Then Hong Qigong began to receive a baptism of saliva.

Lin Zhu found it extremely distasteful.

The four women, Wang Yuyan, Zhang Sanniang, Azhu, and Abi, were also too unbearable to look at.

Wang Yuyan whispered, "They're so awful..."

Lin Zhu was faster than her, quickly covering her mouth and whispering, "Some things shouldn't be said, especially in this situation."

As expected, the handover of power within the Beggars' Sect in the Apricot Grove went very smoothly.

"Quan Guanqing!" Hong Qigong, the new official, immediately targeted Quan Guanqing with his first act of rebellion.

Quan Guanqing was startled, but still said firmly, "Since things have come to this, you may kill me or torture me as you please."

Hong Qigong chuckled, "You think I won't kill you just because you're tough, you old beggar?"

"Hmph!" Quan Guanqing snorted coldly, turning his head to the side, appearing fearless of authority.

Lin Zhu was most annoyed by Quan Guanqing, who was too wicked. He stepped forward and said, "Chief Hong, why don't I interrogate him a bit? If you don't mind."

"Oh!" Hong Qigong looked at Lin Zhu and said, "Originally, the Beggars' Clan's affairs should not trouble others, but in urgent situations, we must act expediently, so we will have to trouble you, young friend."

"You're too kind, Chief Hong." Lin Zhu stepped forward and stood in front of Quan Guanqing.

"What are you going to do?" Quan Guanqing felt uneasy under Lin Zhu's gaze. Even though the person in front of him was incredibly beautiful, he was still a little flustered.

"Don't panic." Lin Zhu circulated his Mingyu True Essence and spoke a voice.

Although he didn't have the Heavenly Demon Harp's blessing or the sound of the harp, he could still use some of the tricks within it.

"Tell me, tell me all the filthy things you've done."

Under the soul-capturing power of the sound waves, Quan Guanqing, who was not even a congenital cultivator, was completely unable to resist, and his pupils became dilated.

Where to begin?

Lin Zhu guided the conversation, saying, "Let's start with why you framed Xiao Feng."

Quan Guanqing said, "It was Kang Min. She made me do it. I slept with her."

Kang Min was shocked to hear this. "He's talking nonsense. I didn't."

Quan Guanqing ignored him and continued, "This bitch thinks I don't know that she slept with that old man Xu Chongxiao too. Otherwise, that old man wouldn't have come running over here. Maybe they killed Ma Dayuan too. That old bastard Xu Chongxiao even promised me that if I could help him become the gang leader, he would make me a transmission elder and teach me the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dog Beating Stick Technique."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Chongxiao roared, looking at Lin Zhu. "What kind of sorcery are you using to dare slander me?"

"This isn't some kind of sorcery, just a mere soul-capturing sound that will only lure people into telling the truth. Judging from your expressions, Quan Guanqing is telling the truth!"

Lin Zhu smiled, especially pleased to see Bai Shijing's face change drastically and his expression turn extremely angry.

Hong Qigong also noticed Bai Shijing's appearance, but assumed that Bai Shijing was just like him, angry about the truth.

"Xu Chongxiao, you were the former law enforcement elder of the Beggars' Clan, yet you knowingly broke the law!" Hong Qigong directly defined the matter.

The Beggars' Sect members could also see that Xu Chongxiao was enraged and embarrassed.

“I have no right to do anything just because you’ve become the gang leader, Hong Qi. Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve become the gang leader.”

Lin Zhu, feeling the matter wasn't serious enough, said to Hong Qigong, "Chief Hong, it seems the key to this matter lies with this Madam Ma. Why don't I have this junior interrogate her?"

"No, don't come any closer!" Kang Min was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly.

The chivalrous figures standing nearby felt pity for Kang Min when they saw her like this and were about to speak up to stop her. They had already prepared their words: "What kind of skill is it to bully a woman?"

But seeing Lin Zhu's appearance, well, that's not the right thing to say.

Bai Shijing was also startled. If Kang Min were interrogated, his own affairs would be exposed. So he said, "Madam Ma is, after all, Brother Ma's widow. It's not right to do this."

"Oh!" Lin Zhu looked at Bai Shijing with a smile. "Bai Shijing, Bai Shijing, Ma Dayuan treated you like a brother, but since you coveted his wife and killed her, do you have any humanity left?"

The question was uttered in the same manner as the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon.

Bai Shijing lost his composure. "You... how did you know? I didn't want to kill her. It was that bitch Kang Min who forced me. I never imagined she slept with Xu Chongxiao and Quan Guanqing. Kang Min, how could you do this to me?"

"Alright, my mission is complete." Lin Zhu clapped his hands and stepped aside.

Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing snapped out of their daze at the same time, and then they were both dumbfounded.

Bai Shijing's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Hong Qigong looked at Bai Shijing with heartache and indignation. Two successive law enforcement elders had actually fallen into the hands of that vile woman Kang Min.

Seeing Bai Shijing's state, Kang Min was also filled with despair. "Haha, hahaha, hahaha! Useless thing. Yes, I slept with them all, so what? Who told Qiao Feng to look down on me? I offered him a drink, and he didn't even glance at me. Why? Am I not good-looking? Since that's the case, then I'll destroy him."

As she spoke, her pitiful eyes completely changed, filled with indescribable resentment.

"The mouth of a green bamboo snake and the sting of a wasp are both not poisonous, but the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart!" a martial arts hero couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Hey, don't generalize and condemn everyone. This is just an isolated case. Does that mean all women in the world are poisonous?"

Upon hearing this, the man felt a chill run down his spine, and the women present all turned to look at him with sharp eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes, it was an isolated incident. I misspoke, ladies, please forgive me." He was almost crying. How could he have spoken so quickly?

At the same time, Lin Zhu won the favor of all the women present, including A Zhu, A Bi, and Granny Tan.

This is especially true for Wang Yuyan and Zhang Sanniang.

'Renqian, you still say you're not a girl disguised as a boy?'

Hong Qigong ignored these interludes and looked at Kang Min, saying, "I never thought there would be such a vicious woman as you in this world." He then looked at Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing, and Xu Chongxiao, and was furious at their lack of self-control.

"Guards, enforce the gang rules, bring the magic knife."

The Beggars' Sect disciples instinctively looked toward the location of the Enforcement Elder.

Well, both law enforcement elders have fallen.

"Master, this magic sword needs to be obtained from the Enforcement Elder, but now..."

Even Hong Qigong felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

But the response was swift: "Elder Song, you will temporarily serve as the Enforcement Elder."

"Yes, Chief." Song Qingxi was promoted, but he didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

While feeling equally heartbroken, they also couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. Both of the previous law enforcement elders had fallen; wouldn't this position be unlucky?

Chapter 29 Evil-Repelling Sword Technique

Bai Shijing did not resist and shed tears of repentance before his execution, but it was too late. He was stabbed three times and stabbed six times, bleeding to death.

However, he didn't utter a sound when the knife went in, which makes him a true tough guy.

But Quan Guanqing and Xu Chongxiao were not suitable.

Quan Guanqing was incredibly tough before, but before his execution, his legs were shaking so badly he almost peed himself.

A knife plunged into his left thigh, and he screamed in agony as it precisely struck the carotid artery, causing blood to gush out like a fountain.

The second and third incisions were also aimed at major arteries.

The severity of the cuts and stabs varies; if they don't want you to die, they'll avoid your major arteries.

But when I want you to die, I'll stab you in the carotid artery with every blow.

As he watched his blood flow continuously, Quan Guanqing's face grew paler and paler. He began to beg for mercy, saying, "Chief, brothers of the Beggars' Clan, I, Quan Guanqing, am still useful! I am still useful! Spare my life! I can read! I can read!"

"A true man should die, not a useless thing like you." Song Qingxi shouted at Quan Guanqing, stepped forward, grabbed the hilt of the knife, and spun it around.

Quan Guanqing screamed in agony, his voice was incredibly shrill.

"No, you can't kill me! I'm the Supreme Elder of the Beggars' Sect!" Xu Chongxiao was terrified and tried to break free from the Beggars' Sect disciples' restraints.

"Hold him down, but he's right, old beggar, I'll do it myself." Hong Qigong slowly walked up to Xu Chongxiao.

"Hong Qi, you can't do this! I even treated you to a meal back then!" Xu Chongxiao softened. "From now on, you're the leader of the Beggars' Sect. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. Just spare my old life."
