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

Lin Ye did not answer, but instead said:

"You treated me fairly well in the past. Although you had ulterior motives, I killed two of your disciples and you took a kick from me. That should settle things once and for all. If you come after me again, it won't be as simple as just taking a kick."

After saying this, Lin Ye leaped away.

Zhu Changling indeed did not dare to pursue further.

Having just exchanged blows, Zhu Changling already knew that Lin Ye's words were true. Even if he could barely hold out for dozens of rounds, after a hundred or so moves, he would definitely be the one lying on the ground.

Zhu Changling felt secretly annoyed.

If I obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber, what do I have to fear? If my family's One-Finger Divine Skill is still intact by the time it reaches me, what do I have to fear?

Although he was resentful, he could only watch the other person disappear from his sight.

"Lin Ye..."

Seeing Zhu Changling standing motionless, Wei Bi was greatly alarmed. "Uncle, Uncle, are you alright?"

After being asked two or three times, Zhu Changling slowly replied, "I'm fine. Go back and don't let the people from Kunlun and Emei see anything."

"Yes."

Wei Bi nodded in agreement and helped Zhu Changling back to the inn. On the way, he couldn't help but turn his head a few times to confirm that Lin Ye had really left before his tense heart gradually calmed down.

While still feeling lingering fear, I was secretly relieved.

My goodness, what kind of monster is that? Even my uncle couldn't withstand more than a few blows; thankfully, I didn't intervene.

When Zhu Changling returned to the inn, his breathing had eased slightly. He brushed aside Wei Bi's hand that was supporting him, tidied his face, and then went inside.

When He Taichong noticed that Zhu Changling was having trouble breathing, he asked him why. Zhu Changling only said that his old illness had relapsed, an old ailment.

Although He Taichong was suspicious, he didn't say anything.

After the meal, everyone returned to their rooms. Zhu Changling told Wu Lie and the others about his encounter with Lin Ye, and everyone was amazed.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye continued his journey, traveling for more than a month before finally arriving at Taipingdian.

In fact, Lin Ye had encountered Beggar Clan disciples on his journey, but they were all low-ranking members and not from the same branch, so they didn't recognize Lin Ye. In addition, Lin Ye was only focused on getting on his way, so he didn't have much contact with them.

Upon entering the town that day, he was immediately noticed by the eyes of the beggars, partly because of his tall stature and partly because of the two cloth bags around his waist.

Of course, not all beggars are members of the Beggars' Sect, so some beggars simply watch and beg on the desolate streets.

When Lin Ye walked to a slightly more lively area, a beggar recognized him, or more accurately, recognized the cloth bag at his waist.

Then two Beggar Clan disciples, each with two bags attached to their waists, walked towards him.

Seeing that Lin Ye looked unfamiliar, they realized he was a brother from another branch. They also noticed that he was leading a fine horse, so they knew he was sent by another branch to do something.

However, the details still need to be confirmed.

One man, with his right hand loosely clenched into a fist and his thumb slightly bent, asked, "Brother, what kind of ladle are you carrying? What kind of pestle are you driving?"

Lin Ye smiled. This was the gang's code word, used to ask where he made his living, which meant inquiring about his identity.

Lin Ye originally wanted to reply that "the gourd is an old gourd that was knocked over in 'Waguansi,' and the pole is an old pole that was brushed by 'Santiaosui.'" meaning that he was the leader of this branch.

He knew both of them; they had just become first-bag disciples when he left, and now they were second-bag disciples.

The two men, Zhou Ping and Liu Shun, were both under Brother Xu's command and were a few years older than Lin Ye.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Liu, don't you recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, both men were taken aback. They stared intently at Lin Ye's face for a long while, then suddenly exclaimed with great joy, "Brother Lin, it's you, Brother Lin! You're still alive!"

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow. He could understand the first two sentences, but what did the last one mean?

"I'm not dead, of course I'm still alive."

"Yes, yes. Brother Lin, you've changed so much. We didn't recognize you at first glance. We thought you were a brother from one of the branch headquarters."

Lin Ye smiled but didn't say anything.

"Brother Lin, where have you been all these years? We haven't heard a single word from you."

"It's a long story."

"That's right, let's talk about it when we get back. Brother Xu will be very happy to know you're back."

The two immediately put away their bowls and went back along the road, summoning all the Beggars' Sect disciples.

Among them were people Lin Ye knew, as well as newcomers he didn't know. They were all delighted to learn that it was Lin Ye.

Five or six people walked all the way back to the dilapidated temple outside the town. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar dilapidated temple, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel emotional.

Back inside the temple, Xu Shou was gathering about twenty brothers to discuss something when he turned around and saw Zhou Ping and Liu Shun bringing in a tall young man, which made him suspicious.

"Zhou Ping, Liu Shun, and this brother is...?"

"Brother Xu, this is Lin Ye, Brother Lin!"

Following their words, Lin Ye smiled and said, "Brother Xu, my fellow brothers, I'm back."

Xu Shou was startled and looked up and down in the forest.

The other brothers in the temple felt the same way; they simply couldn't reconcile the dark-skinned, short boy of yesteryear with this tall, strong young man.

A moment later, Xu Shou finally recognized the face.

He strode up to Lin Ye, put his hands on Lin Ye's shoulders, and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Lin, is it really you?"

"Of course it's me. I may have grown a bit, but you can't possibly not recognize my face, can you?"

"That's right, that's right, it's you," Xu Shou said, patting Lin Ye on the shoulder. "You've grown taller and stronger."

"It really is Brother Lin."

"He's so sturdy, I didn't recognize him at first glance."

"Brother Lin, you're finally back."

"..."

The Beggars' Sect brothers suddenly became noisy, and everyone stood up. Those who had a good relationship with Lin Ye gathered around.

"Tell me, what did you experience after you went to the Western Regions?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Shou said.

Lin Ye was surprised by the enthusiasm of his brothers. When Xu Shou asked him about it, he felt a little ashamed, especially when he thought about how he would have to make up an explanation to cover up the lie.

However, in order to improve his strength, he had no choice but to do it again.

As usual, everyone gathered together, and Lin Ye recounted what had happened from when he left until his return.

He said that when he went out, he encountered the people of Haisha, and his dog brother died tragically at their hands. He then encountered the people of Emei Sect and managed to escape with great effort. He finally made it to the Western Regions and searched for a long time, but could not find Xie Xun's whereabouts. Just as he was about to return, he accidentally fell into a valley, which is why he was trapped for several years and could not return.

Of course, information such as Zhu Changling and the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which were unnecessary for them to know, were concealed.

When the crowd heard about Gouzi's tragic death, they fell silent for a moment. However, as people who lived in the martial world, they had long since accepted their fate and had nothing to be sad about.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shou sighed, "No wonder I sent people to look for you, but we couldn't find you anywhere. I thought you had been killed by that villain Xie Xun."

"Brother Xu, it seems that Xie Xun is not in the Western Regions."

Some people said, "Could it be that Xie Xun is afraid of death and hid in the Demonic Sect's headquarters after obtaining the Dragon-Slaying Saber?"
