Chapter 0449: Changes in the Beggars' Sect, Internal and External Troubles
Today's third update: Chapter 449!
The remaining two updates will be released in the early morning~
…
The Beggars' Sect is a human force that cannot be ignored, spread all over the Haotian Tower!
Starting from the first generation of Beggars' Sect leader, it was passed down to the previous generation leader Zhan Yuye, and then to the current generation leader Qiao Feng, which is already the ninth generation!
It spans a long period of time, which can be traced back to more than two hundred years ago, when there was no Lord of the Times to guard the human race!
In that era, because there was no Lord of the Times, the human race suffered from oppression!
To be precise, it was the Huaxia people who were at the forefront of the storm, facing the challenge of life and death!
The son of the Red Emperor, and his descendants, the Emperor Wu of Han, although relying on their own leadership ability, eliminated the northern wolf tribe, which was the biggest scourge to the human race, but also destroyed the entire human race's foundation!
In that era, the children of the big families went to the battlefield one after another, and the nine states of China were almost empty!
And everyone knows that the inherited families like Sikong Ting have always been the backbone of the entire human race. When these big families were severely injured, the Huaxia people were already facing the consequences of extinction!
Just when Huaxia was depressed and foreign races coveted it, people with lofty ideals from all sides of the human race stood up!
Those strong men who did not belong to the big families began to recruit those lone rangers who wandered around the world to serve Huaxia!
Soon, under the call of Fan Dan, the founder of the Beggars' Sect, countless chivalrous people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Huaxia people stood up!
Although the forces that condensed into the embryonic form of the Beggars' Sect were uneven in level and combat power, and the sophistication of their equipment was far inferior to those of the big clans!
But this team won because of its large number of people and fearlessness of death!
The power of the masses is terrifying. The predecessor of the Beggars' Gang gathered all kinds of talented people. Once the irregular army's fighting style was put into the battlefield, it would tirelessly beat the powerful army that coveted the territory of China!
This team will not talk to you about martial ethics. It gathered people from all walks of life. All kinds of despicable means, as long as they can win, they will use them!
Like poisoning, assassination, kidnapping, seduction... anything that can be effective in war has been played by them!
The so-called random punches kill the master. With the concerted efforts of this unorganized team, wave after wave of foreign enemies were beaten to a mess and finally retreated!
As a result, this team began to become famous!
In order to control this terrible force, the official tried to win over the leader of the Beggars' Gang, but the leader of the Beggars' Gang knew that these people under his command gathered because of their ambitions and would not give up their freedom for fame and wealth, so he refused the official recruitment and became an organization floating among the people!
This organization has a very peculiar way of recruiting people. They don't accept the sons of rich families, but those helpless ordinary people!
Because most of the common people live in poverty, in rags, and before awakening their talents, most of them live on the streets and live as beggars who are in danger of losing their jobs, some people have used the Beggars' Gang to despise this organization!
But when this organization heard the evaluation of them by those high-ranking bigwigs, they were not ashamed, but proud of it. The name of the Beggars' Gang came from this!
After more than two hundred years, the Beggars' Gang, a folk organization, has not only not declined, but has become increasingly prosperous!
The originally chaotic organization, under the leadership of generations of wise leaders, has spread its footprints to all levels below the 70th floor of the Haotian Tower!
Starting from the Beggars' Gang stationed in the City of Sin on the 10th floor!
It has formed a community management structure that respects strength, that is, a complex structure that combines hereditary system, feudal system, and elder system!
Under the cultivation of generations of Beggars' Sect leaders, the Beggars' Sect, which originated from the tenth floor of the Haotian Tower, has two major inheritances!
The first inheritance is a piece of Dragon-Subduing Stone made of eighteen dragon corpses, which was passed down by the leaders of each generation!
This inheritance stone passed down by the Beggars' Sect from generation to generation is of immeasurable value, because it contains a complete set of SSS-level combination skills, which is the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms that was performed by the King of Force... ahem, in the battle with the old man in the Jiangnan Base City before the battle!
In addition, the Dragon-Subduing Stone also contains various skills left by the leaders of each generation except the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, such as: Dog-beating Stick Method, Crying Stick Method, Lotus Palm, Copper Hammer Hand, Spirit Snake Staff Method...
Every Beggars' Sect member who wants to accept the inheritance of the Dragon-Subduing Stone must meet two conditions!
First, since joining the Beggars' Sect, he has made contributions to the Beggars' Sect and the human race, and at least killed a foreign S-level or above strongman!
Second, after accepting the inheritance, you must guard the Beggar Gang on the tenth floor of the Haotian Tower for ten years and lead the Beggar Gang until the next leader appears!
In the Beggar Gang's Dragon Stone inheritance held every ten years, there is only one person who can inherit the Eighteen Dragon Palms, and the number of palms inherited depends on one's own qualifications!
For example, Zhan Yuye only inherited the first fifteen styles at the beginning, so he changed his name to the fifteenth style - Dragon Zhan Yuye!
The subsequent three styles were mastered by him in the process of climbing the Haotian Tower after thousands of difficulties and obstacles!
Headed by the only leader who mastered the Eighteen Dragon Palms in ten years, the Beggar Gang has a total of:
One deputy leader;
Eight nine-bag elders, including: one elder for passing on skills, one elder for law enforcement, one elder for holding a stick, one elder for holding a bowl, and four elders for protecting the law!
Below them are the eight-bag helmsmen, each of whom manages a branch helm and has jurisdiction.
Disciples without bags are quasi-members of the Beggars' Sect and have not yet submitted their credentials - at least kill a foreign trialist with the same talent as themselves!
The entire Beggars' Sect has an orderly inheritance and clear management. Since the Wuji era, the tenth-floor headquarters has been moved from the Yanhuang City to the chaotic Sin City, which was the Paradise City at that time!
Because here, the Beggars' Sect disciples can effectively kill foreign enemies, because here, except for the human race, they are all foreign races, and they are all the notorious trialists of each race. Killing them is to enforce justice on behalf of heaven!
The second largest inheritance of the Beggars' Sect is that each leader will unbind and leave behind a high-level artifact when leaving the 10th to 19th floors of the Haotian Tower!
Name: Dog Beating Stick!
The person who controls this high-level artifact can cooperate with the SS-level Dog Beating Stick method learned from the Dragon Stone to exert the power of SSS-level skills!
Similarly, the Dog Beating Stick is the identity symbol of each Beggars' Sect leader. Holding the Dog Beating Stick and learning the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, each Beggars' Sect leader can become a famous top powerhouse!
Along the way, Xu Kun kept talking to Zhan Rourou, who also told him about the Beggars' Gang, a large unofficial organization of the human race!
"What happened this time? From what I heard, it seems that not only other forces took the opportunity to cause trouble, but there seemed to be problems within the Beggars' Gang as well!"
This was the news Xu Kun got from Qian Manlou.
Zhan Rourou said with a disappointed look: "The Beggars' Gang has become a little too big to be eliminated. It was originally a force of all kinds of casual cultivators, but it has changed after its evolution!"
"It started before my grandfather took over as the leader of the gang. The entire Beggars' Gang was divided into the Clean Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect. The Clean Clothes Sect is composed of people from wealthy families who joined the Beggars' Gang, either because of the value of the Beggars' Gang, or for fame and fortune and the inheritance of the Dragon Stone!"
"And the Dirty Clothes Sect was the original main body of the Beggars' Gang. Most of them were born in poverty. What they seek is not wealth and glory, but simply the pursuit of justice in the world!"
"The Clean Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect, then Zhan Lao... ..."
Zhan Rourou's expression darkened: "My grandfather is from the Clean Clothes Sect. It was because my grandfather came to power with the Clean Clothes Sect that the previous Beggar Gang's Clean Clothes Sect became completely big. My grandfather also discovered this drawback. Some members of the Clean Clothes Sect are too fame-seeking and do not meet the standards for the development of the Beggar Gang!"
"So when choosing the next leader, my grandfather took a fancy to Brother Qiao from the Dirty Clothes Sect. Brother Qiao is very talented and has already become famous among his peers in the Beggar Gang. The rest depends on how much he can inherit from the Dragon Stone!"
Xu Kun narrowed his eyes. Qiao Feng had previously performed the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, which was from the same lineage as Zhan Yuye!
Only those who can inherit the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from the Dragon Stone once every ten years can take the position of the new leader!
Zhan Yuye inherited fifteen styles, so what about Qiao Feng?
"Brother Qiao not only inherited the complete version of the Eighteen Palms, but also learned the Thirty-Six Moves of the Dog Beating Stick Technique. Therefore, it was no surprise that he, who came from the Wuyi Sect, became the new leader!"
Hiss!
It's really extraordinary!
"My grandfather saw that Brother Qiao was just as he expected, so he gave him the position of leader with confidence. My grandfather originally thought that he could use Brother Qiao's position as leader to let the pure-minded Dirty Clothes Sect regain the right to speak!"
"However... now, my grandfather found that he thought too simply!"
"The Dirty Clothes Sect is not good at competing for fame and fortune, so even after Brother Qiao became the leader, the power of the Beggars' Sect was still being fought over and over by the Clean Clothes Sect. Among the Nine Bags Elders, the Clean Clothes Sect now has a majority. This time, there are major external forces trying to encircle and suppress the Beggars' Sect. Not only do the Beggars' Sect not think about fighting together, but at this critical juncture, they actually tried to abolish Brother Qiao's position as leader!"
"Brother Qiao's term of office has not ended yet!"
"Breaking the rules? Is the Clean Clothes Sect so unprincipled?" Xu Kun said in surprise.
The rules of a gang that has been passed down for more than 200 years should not be changed. After all, although the Beggars' Gang on the 10th floor is the headquarters, there are still older generations like Zhan Yuye watching above!
Moreover, when faced with external threats, why don't they work together and make trouble?
Could it be that all the people in the Beggars' Gang grew up eating shit?
Unless there are internal conflicts that are more serious than the external crisis and need to be resolved now!
Zhan Rourou shook her head: "I don't know the specific details, but judging from my grandfather's appearance, the conflict has been going on for a long time!"
"The Clean Clothes Sect is not going to break the rules this time. The reason for the external, including directly reporting to my grandfather to abolish Brother Qiao, the leader, is... suspected that Brother Qiao is an orphan of the wolf clan!"
Xu Kun paused.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Rourou asked puzzledly on the other side of the call.
"It's okay, go on, what does Mr. Zhan want me to do?"
Xu Kun respected Zhan Yuye from the bottom of his heart, who tried his best to rescue him and paid the price of his life. He couldn't watch the Beggars' Sect he had built with his own hands destroyed!
"My grandfather suspected that this incident was used by someone with ulterior motives!"
"How could Brother Qiao be an orphan of the wolf clan!" Zhan Rourou said indignantly.
Xu Kun's suspicious Mirage looked at Xu Kun in surprise, and Xu Kun shook his head at her.
"The purpose of throwing dirty water on Brother Qiao is just to split the Beggars' Sect and then defeat them one by one!"
"My grandfather said that although this is a conspiracy by the major forces of the City of Sin against the Beggars' Sect, the reason for the encirclement is because you destroyed a crucial secret realm in the City of Sin, so I hope you can lend a hand!"
"We must not let Brother Qiao step down as the leader, nor let the Beggars' Sect split. Once it splits, and there is no leader, the human race will not be able to protect the City of Sin in the future!"
Xu Kun took a deep breath: "Where are they now?"
"Xingzilin in the southern part of Junshan, the City of Sin!"
Xu Kun searched the coordinates on the map and found that it was not far from him. He nodded and said: "Okay, Shenbao and I will go first!"
Zhan Rourou nodded: "Be careful, we will be there soon!"
