Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 103 Abdicate and give way to talents

Huang Sixi sat alone in the hall, looking around at the new Beggars' Sect leaders who had arrived.

I wondered, if the traitor wasn’t Zhang Jinao, then who could it be?

Qinglian Envoy Cheng Yun had died long ago, and Elder Jian had just been killed by Huang Sixi. All those who might have been traitors in the Hengyang branch had died here.

Huang Sixi thought again, could it be that the traitor shown on the dog-beating stick is not a single person, but a group of people?

He couldn't help but look at the Beggars' Sect leader Jie Feng.

If this leader of the Jie Gang was also among the traitors, then it would be unnecessary for him to go to the trouble of rescuing the White Lotus Envoy.

He saved the White Lotus Envoy in order to clear himself of any connection with the bloody case and avoid being framed by Zhang Jin'ao, so as to give Jie Feng an account and explanation.

But if Jie Feng is the biggest traitor of the entire Beggars' Sect, then what else is there for him to explain?
"Since ancient times, the Beggars' Sect has been known for its chivalry and will never wrongly accuse a good person. I will wait for the White Lotus Envoy to wake up and listen to his explanation. If you were really framed by Zhang Jin'ao, I promise not to make things difficult for you and let you leave Hengyang safely!"

When Xie Feng saw Zhang Jin'ao say "I'm sorry, Huang Sixi" before he died, he knew that there was something else going on behind the bloody incident at the Hengyang branch, so he spoke first to calm Huang Sixi down and reassure him.

Afterwards, Jie Feng ordered the Beggar Gang leaders who were accompanying him to clean up the corpses in the yard and treat the wounded.

When the heroes saw that their fellow gang members had suffered heavy casualties, they were all filled with anger and kept glaring at Huang Sixi.

However, Jie Feng had said before that he would give Huang Sixi a chance to explain, so the heroes suppressed their anger and did their work silently.

Soon a space was cleared in the yard.

The group of heroes lit torches and blocked off the entire courtyard. They went with more than a hundred people this time, most of them were masters of the Beggars' Sect, including elders who taught skills, elders who enforced the law, elders who protected the law, and disciples with eight or seven bags, all accompanying Jie Feng.

Jie Feng had chairs brought in, sat in the courtyard, and began to interrogate the dozen or so Beggar Gang disciples who had survived the Hengyang branch.

These disciples were not aware of how Zhang Jinao invited Huang Sixi. They only reported to Jie Feng in detail what happened after Huang Sixi came to the branch.

When these disciples talked about Huang Sixi holding the Beggars' Sect's golden bowl, and practicing the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", and were jointly recognized by Zhang Jin'ao, the Green Lotus Envoy, and Elder Jian as the descendant of the former Beggars' Sect leader Huang Rong, the heroes looked at each other in surprise.

They could never have imagined that Huang Sixi had such a deep connection with the Beggars' Sect, and their earlier anger towards Huang Sixi gradually subsided.

By the time these disciples finished explaining the causes and consequences of the conflict between the Hengyang branch and Huang Sixi, the dissatisfaction with Huang Sixi in the hearts of the heroes had disappeared. Instead, they all looked solemn and became worried.

The more than one hundred heroes present all have very important identities and status in the Beggars' Sect, and they are also used to the ups and downs in the world.

After a little thought, they came to the conclusion that it must be the Green Lotus Envoy and the White Lotus Envoy who coveted Huang Sixi's "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" and tried to force and rob him, which led to the bloody incident at the Hengyang branch.

Elder Jian and the disciples of the Hengyang branch were all the confidants of the Blue Lotus Envoy and the White Lotus Envoy, and were like the Blue and White Envoys' thugs and bodyguards. They followed orders and besieged Huang Sixi, but ended up being outskilled and were killed.

Huang Sixi, as the perpetrator, did not do anything wrong, but he killed so many Beggars' Sect disciples and caused a major scandal in the Beggars' Sect. How should the whole incident end?
In fact, if only Elder Jian, Zhang Jinao and the disciples of the Hengyang branch died, it would not be a big deal. The key point is that the Green Lotus Envoy also died in this bloody case.

All the heroes knew that the Green Lotus Envoy was the illegitimate son of the gang leader Jie Feng, and in order to avenge his son's murder, he might cause a big mess.

This is also the reason why the heroes are worried.

"Boss, this is the whole story. Just now, dozens of brothers from our branch joined forces, but we were unable to kill the murderer and avenge Master Yun. Please punish me, Boss!"

More than ten disciples from the branch helm kowtowed together and apologized to Jie Feng.

"Whether Young Master Huang is the murderer or not is still unclear! You should go to the side to recover first. When Envoy Bai Lian wakes up, I will make the decision on whether to reward or punish you after you have found out the reason!"

Jie Feng waved his hand and ordered his men to drag away more than a dozen disciples from the branch.

Then he looked at Huang Sixi and the White Lotus Envoy in the hall and fell silent.

A group of heroes gathered around him and waited with him.

Wait until it's bright.

The White Lotus Envoy woke up as expected, and Jie Feng immediately stood up and walked towards the hall door.

When the White Lotus Envoy saw Jie Feng was present, he immediately felt aggrieved and started to cry out in hatred:
"Boss, that old vicious man Zhang Jin'ao used flying needles to attack my brother. After I saw it, he used flying needles to attack me to silence me. He is really heartless! It was Brother Huang who used his internal energy to wake me up earlier and fed me a life-saving pill. Boss, if it wasn't for Brother Huang's rescue, I would definitely not have survived..."

After hearing this, the heroes no longer had any doubts about Huang Sixi.

In the bloody incident at the Hengyang branch, Huang Sixi was the victim.

The cause was that the Green Lotus Envoy and Elder Jian had ulterior motives and tried to snatch Huang Sixi's "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing".

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jin'ao was even more treacherous. He secretly attacked and killed the Green Lotus Envoy and put the blame on Huang Sixi in order to provoke a bloody fight between Huang Sixi and Jie Feng.

Zhang Jinao had witnessed Huang Sixi's advanced martial arts with his own eyes, and was convinced that Huang Sixi had the ability to compete with Jie Feng. If he succeeded in provoking them, both Huang Sixi and Jie Feng would most likely die. Even if one did not die, he would be seriously injured.

By then, Zhang Jinao will be able to reap the benefits and take over the Beggars' Sect.

In fact, as early as in Liu Zhengfeng's house, Zhang Jinao had been planning to frame Huang Sixi. He knew the character of the Green Lotus Envoy and knew that he would be greedy after seeing the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing". He used this as a breakthrough point to lure the Green Lotus Envoy into coercing Huang Sixi, which led to a conflict.

Zhang Jinao had long been dissatisfied with Jie Feng. He believed that Jie Feng was nepotistic, treated the Beggars' Gang as a family gang, and even created a scandal of having an illegitimate child, making the Beggars' Gang a laughing stock in the martial arts world. He believed that Jie Feng was unworthy of being the gang leader.

But Jie Feng was very skilled in martial arts, and Zhang Jinao knew he was no match for him, so he did not dare to attack him.

It was not until he met Huang Sixi that Zhang Jinao felt the time had come and took decisive action.

In Zhang Jinao's mind, the Green Lotus Envoy and the White Lotus Envoy lived a life of debauchery and squandered the Beggars' Sect's money and food, so they all deserved to die. Elder Jian and the disciples of the Hengshan branch fawned on the sect and tarnished its reputation, so they all deserved to be killed.

He said that he "did not do anything sorry to the Beggars' Sect", and he truly meant it. He had even made plans that when he inherited the position of leader of the sect, he would massacre all of Jie Feng's cronies from top to bottom and let the capable ones take the high positions.

But he insidiously used Huang Sixi and used all means to achieve his goals. He is not an upright person. Even if he is allowed to take the position of gang leader, he will still not inherit the chivalrous tradition of the Beggars' Sect in the future.

He is just an ambitious person pursuing his own selfish desires.

"The truth has been revealed, Mr. Huang, please release the White Lotus Envoy and return our gang's dog-beating stick!" Jie Feng said expressionlessly to Huang Sixi, "I promise to let you go!"

"I don't trust you!" Huang Sixi shook his head: "All of you retreat and clear the way. When I leave Hengyang, I will release the White Lotus Envoy."

"If I let you go first, and you kill the White Lotus Envoy after leaving the city, and run away with the Dog Beating Stick, where can I find you?" Jie Feng also had a tough attitude. The White Lotus Envoy had been acupunctured long ago, and was now paralyzed at Huang Sixi's feet. He knew that he had become a hostage, but he was not afraid of Huang Sixi.

He was heard shouting at Jie Feng, "Boss, Brother Huang saved my life, how could he kill me! A few days ago, my brother and Elder Jian secretly discussed how to force Brother Huang to hand over the secret method of "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms". We are sorry to Brother Huang. Even if Brother Huang really wants to kill me, it is right. Don't make it difficult for him, let him go quickly!"

Compared with the Green Lotus Envoy, he seemed to be simple-minded.

He was also thin-skinned. He felt that he was in the wrong when Qinglian threatened Huang Sixi. After Huang Sixi saved his life, he felt even more ashamed and embarrassed, so he went against Jie Feng in public.

Xie Feng was refuted by his own son, and his face showed anger, but he was speechless.

Huang Sixi said immediately: "Everyone has heard it. Envoy Bai Lian is willing to let me take him away. What are you still hesitating about?"

Xie Feng winked at the elder who was teaching martial arts at the side.

The elder who was passing on the skills understood and said, "I am Xin Shanyuan, and I am now the elder who is passing on the skills of the Beggars' Sect. The 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' is one of the two most important skills of the sect. This is well known. Please return the Dragon Subduing Palms to the Beggars' Sect. As long as you hand over the skills, no matter who you take with you or where you go, we will send you off with courtesy and will never stop you!"

Huang Sixi laughed, "Oh, after all this fuss, it turns out that you old beggars are just like the Green Lotus Envoy, wanting to kill people and rob them?"

The elder who passed on the skills hurriedly explained: "Mr. Huang, please don't misunderstand. We just want to return the item to its original owner. We have absolutely no intention of harming you. You only need to copy the skills once, and you can stay or leave as you wish. We will never touch a hair on your head!"

Back then, the "Sunflower Manual" caused a bloody storm in the martial arts world, triggering a hundred-year feud between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect. The incomplete version of the "Bixie Sword Manual" also attracted the attention of many forces, which directly led to the annihilation of the entire Fuwei Escort Agency.

The Beggar Gang leaders present were generally aware of the past reputation of the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", so it would not be surprising if they were interested in getting their hands on it.

Huang Sixi was alone, so there would be no danger of robbing him.

However, not all members of the Beggars' Sect are greedy.

Law enforcement elder Song Gengping asked Jie Feng directly, "Boss, do you also agree to let Young Master Huang take out the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" technique?"

Jie Feng nodded: "This mental method originally belonged to the Beggars' Sect, it is only natural for us to take it back!"

The law enforcement elder added, "If Young Master Huang learned the Dragon Subduing Palm from the Beggars' Sect, it would not be wrong to ask him to hand it over. However, he is the descendant of the former leader Huang Rong, and he also holds the token of the former leader Shi Huolong. His Dragon Subduing Palm is obviously passed down from the former leader. If we force him to hand over his secret method, it would be no different from robbery!"

"What do you mean?" Jie Feng's face darkened: "Do you think I am taking advantage of you?"

"I dare not. I just want to ask the leader, are you determined to force Mr. Huang to hand over the Dragon Subduing Palm Technique today?" the law enforcement elder asked calmly.

"For the sake of our gang's cause, I insist on doing this. What do you think?" Jie Feng answered coldly.

"In this case, as the law enforcement elder, I must enforce the gang rules. Please give up your position as the leader of the Beggars' Gang immediately!"

The law enforcement elder said calmly, "For hundreds of years, the Beggars' Sect has been respected by fellow practitioners in the martial arts world, not because of its large numbers or high martial arts skills, but because of its chivalry and justice. You used the name of the Beggars' Sect leader to force Mr. Huang to hand over his ancestral martial arts. Your methods are despicable, neither chivalrous nor fair. You are no longer worthy of being the leader!"

When the law enforcement elder said this, the eight-bag and seven-bag disciples around him immediately responded: "You have taken possession of a married woman, gave birth to an illegitimate child, and tarnished the reputation of the Beggars' Sect. You should have stepped down long ago! And you still want us to help you steal people's martial arts. Do you really think the Beggars' Sect is a place where filth and dirt are hidden?"

After a quarrel, the Beggars' Sect was divided into two opposing camps.

The elders who teach skills and others stand on the left side of Jie Feng, while the elders who enforce the law and others stand on the right side of Jie Feng.

Jie Feng looked at the law enforcement elder and scolded, "You are betraying the gang! Don't blame me for cleaning up the mess!"

'call! '

He slapped out with his palm, hitting the law enforcement elder.

As a result, before he could perform any move, his ears moved and he heard a strange noise coming from the side.

He immediately fought back, shaking the cloak behind him, raising a sharp force, "Ding Ding!", and several flying needles were knocked to the ground by him.

This flying needle was shot by Huang Sixi.

He was standing at the entrance of the hall, only thirty or fifty feet away from Huang Sixi, constantly monitoring Huang Sixi's every move. He must have been prepared for any attacks from Huang Sixi, so it was reasonable for him to block the Jade Bee Needle.

But Huang Sixi's intention of sending the needle was to help the law enforcement elder out of trouble, and his goal had been achieved: "The heroes of the Beggars' Sect asked you to step down, and you should obey their advice!"

Jie Feng frowned, and he suddenly realized that Huang Sixi and the law enforcement elder had reached a tacit understanding to work together.

As a result, Jie Feng could no longer rely on the power of the Beggars' Sect to threaten Huang Sixi. He could not even severely punish the law enforcement elder because the situation forced him to personally fight Huang Sixi in a duel.

Huang Sixi is also ready for a one-on-one fight.

He put the dog-beating stick on his back, held the heavy sword in one hand, and pointed it at Jie Feng: "If you shamelessly insist on stealing the position of the leader, it is equivalent to treason of the Beggars' Sect. I hold the token of the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, and I am very willing to clean up the mess for you former leaders!"

When the law enforcement elder heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just taken a huge risk by scolding Jie Feng. If Huang Sixi had not stepped forward to stop him and Jie Feng had attacked him first, he would not have been able to resist.

He immediately cooperated with Huang Sixi: "Young Master Huang is the descendant of the former leaders Huang Rong and Shi Huolong, and is definitely not an outsider. If Young Master Huang can use our Beggars' Sect's 'Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing' to eliminate the rebellious Jie Feng, then it will be no different from the former leaders Huang and Shi taking action themselves!"

"Okay! Okay! I want to see who the traitor is!"

Xie Feng reached for his waist, took out a jade stick, raised it and pointed it at Huang Sixi: "You want to fight with me alone, I will grant your wish, release the White Lotus Envoy, and let's go fight outside!"

Huang Sixi shouted to the law enforcement elder, "Please ask this elder to take care of the White Lotus Envoy for the time being!"

"I will definitely live up to your trust!" The law enforcement elder immediately entered the hall and arrested the White Lotus Envoy, and whispered:

"If Master Huang is unable to subdue Jie Feng, you can take this opportunity to escape from Hengyang City. I will cover your retreat and prevent the Beggars' Sect disciples from chasing you!"

"If I escape, how should the elders deal with it?" If Huang Sixisheng didn't understand the situation, the law enforcement elder would become a traitor of the Beggars' Sect, and his fate would be predictable.

"It's just death, that's nothing, but if I force Mr. Huang, I will be worse off than dead!" The law enforcement elder said calmly.

"Jie Feng is not only proficient in the Dog Beating Stick Technique, but also has mastered the Iron Shirt Technique. His hard Qigong is unparalleled in the world. Young Master Huang, you must be careful when dealing with him!"

Iron shirt?
Huang Sixi thought that when Xie Feng first entered the hall, the bones all over his body cracked, which should be a sign that the iron shirt was taking effect.

But how many moves of the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" can Jie Feng's iron shirt withstand?
