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

Similarly, because he was a seventh-bag disciple of the branch, he did not have the authority to directly promote Lin Ye to the seventh bag level.

Although Liu Dai can make appointments, he needs to report to Dayong Branch at the same time.

Then he suddenly realized that he had spoken too definitively.

Lin Ye sensed something and said with shame:

"I have only made a small contribution and am unworthy of such recognition. Brother Xu has recommended me as a four-bag disciple. If I can obtain this, it will be a great honor. How could I dare to be greedy?"

Unless it's like Hong Qigong passing on the Dog-Beating Stick and its techniques to Huang Rong, making her the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Otherwise, trying to reach the top in one step would be too unrealistic and impractical.

Even if Hong Qigong made Huang Rong the leader of the Beggars' Sect, there would always be people who would be dissatisfied with such a leader who was suddenly appointed out of nowhere.

Lin Ye's intervention brought Yan Benlei to his delight.

"Brother Lin is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has such a magnanimous heart; he is truly a blessing to the gang."

After much deliberation, Yan Benlei decided to promote Lin Ye to the rank of Fifth-Bag Disciple. With his skills and achievements, Brother Lin would surely be respected by the others.

That's the maximum authority he can currently exercise.

After a brief pause, he addressed the crowd.

"I hereby declare Brother Lin a fifth-class disciple of this gang. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to come and experience Brother Lin's skills."

"I'm convinced!"

"I'm convinced!"

"I'm convinced!"

As soon as Yan Benlei finished speaking, a chorus of voices erupted from below.

Disagree? Who dares to disagree?

So what if you're young? Is your face as big as his fist? Besides, he's done such a great service.

They were all envious of his three promotions.

Qiao Han was not surprised, but Wang Nian was so surprised that his mouth was slightly open.

Brother Lin has also become a five-bag disciple, so wouldn't that make him the same as Brother Xu?

Lin Ye sighed, "Chief Yan, I dare not accept five bags."

Yan Benlei glanced at Lin Ye, pondered for a moment, and understood his concerns.

"Are you taking Xu Shou's brothers into consideration?"

Lin Ye remained silent. Brother Xu had treated him quite well; as a five-bag disciple, this meant that when they returned, they would be on equal footing.

He really didn't know how to face it when he got back.

Yan Benlei laughed:

"You underestimate Brother Xu Shou's magnanimity. He recommended you as a four-bag disciple, why would he care about those empty titles? How could he not know your abilities? I think if he wasn't embarrassed, he would have recommended you as a five-bag disciple instead of a four-bag disciple."

He paused, then continued:

"If you still have concerns, I'll make you the deputy manager of Taipingdian Liaokou, but your position will still be below that of Brother Xu Shou. Is that alright?"

"Even so, I won't let you stay there for too long."

Lin Ye knew he wanted to transfer him to another location, or to a branch headquarters. Having said that, Lin Ye stopped refusing.

Seeing this, Yan Benlei was quite satisfied. He had already made up his mind to recommend this person to the elders after a while.

Their Beggars' Clan had already lost its former prestige, and their leader had been living in seclusion at Lotus Manor for twenty years, never showing up to take charge of the clan's affairs.

The Beggars' Sect is declining day by day, suffering repeated setbacks in its battles against sects like the Eagle Sect. They've had enough of this humiliation.

The gang's best members are the ones they want the most of.

Yan Benlei ordered his brothers to bring three bags and personally bid farewell to Lin Ye. In this way, Lin Ye was finally promoted to a five-bag disciple.

The brothers cheered again.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Yan Benlei nodded, and was about to ask his brothers to bring wine so he could drink a few bowls with Lin Ye, when suddenly a Beggar Clan disciple came to report from outside the door.

Yan Benlei hurriedly summoned him to the hall and asked, "What happened?"

The disciple said, "Master, news has come from Dadu that none of the twenty-odd brothers that the gang sent to assassinate the Prince of Ruyang have returned."

After hearing this, Yan Benlei's expression turned solemn. None of them had returned, and the result was already clear: they were dead.

The twenty-odd brothers he sent were all skilled fighters in the gang, including three Seven-Bag Disciples whose martial arts were far superior to his.

However, none of these people survived.

It seems there are quite a few experts in the Prince of Ruyang's mansion.

"Damn Yuan dog."

Yan Benlei cursed angrily and turned to Lin Ye, saying:

"It seems I can't drink with you, Brother Lin. You and Brother Wang should go back first. You kidnapped the leader of the Sky Eagle Sect, so they will definitely retaliate. Be careful when you get back."

"Something has happened in the gang, and I need to take my brothers to provide support."

Lin Ye couldn't help but ask, "Master, you're not planning another assassination attempt, are you?"

Since the Mongol army occupied the Central Plains, the Beggars' Sect disciples have not given up their ambitions, but they lack the ability to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and can only carry out assassination operations in secret.

They only wanted to kill as many talented and extraordinary people as possible in the Yuan court, so that when the time was right, they could wipe them out.

However, it is clear that such minor skirmishes could not cause any substantial harm to Yuan Ting; on the contrary, they resulted in the loss of many of his brothers.

The Prince of Ruyang they were trying to assassinate was Zhao Min's father, the Grand Marshal of the Army and Warriors of the Realm. How could he be without the martial arts masters he was protecting?

Cheng Kun, the Xuanming Elders, the eminent monks of the Vajra Sect, the Eight-Armed Divine Sword, a former swordsmanship master of the Beggars' Sect, and so on...

Their accumulated strength may not be inferior to any major sect in the martial arts world.

Of course, the Wudang School is an exception.

After all, there is still an old monster living in the Wudang Sect.

If it were just a matter of martial arts, Zhang Sanfeng alone could defeat them.

But for the Beggars' Sect, such an assassination attempt would undoubtedly be suicide and unwise.

The intention was good, but the effect was minimal.

If assassinating a general could turn the tide of a nation, then we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble back then.

"Let's go check the situation first. Even if we have to carry out an assassination, we'll have to come up with a new plan."

"I think it's best to consider the assassination attempt more carefully."

"What do you mean?"

"Master, how have things gone since we started the assassination?"

"He was often able to behead the Tartars."

"What about the losses?"

Yan Benlei fell silent. They had indeed suffered considerable losses in order to assassinate a high-ranking Tartar official, but the gang had always believed it was worthwhile.

"To fight for our country's enemy, sacrifices are inevitable, and the brothers have never complained."

Yan Benlei didn't answer directly, but instead patted Lin Ye on the shoulder and sighed.

"Brother Lin, although you are skilled in martial arts, you are still young. The intricacies involved are not something you can understand in a short time. You should stay here and focus on dealing with the Sky Eagle Sect."

"clear."

Lin Ye wanted to say something more, but seeing this, he knew that it would be pointless to say anything more. Even if he persuaded Yan Benlei, he was only a seventh-bag disciple and could not make the decision.

It seems that to stop them from carrying out pointless assassinations, it is necessary to gain control of the Beggars' Sect.

We must proceed slowly and steadily; we cannot rush things.

However, given the loss suffered by the gang and the fact that the Prince of Ruyang has been alerted, the gang is unlikely to take any further action in the short term.

Lin Ye said no more. After watching Yan Benlei and his brothers leave, he and Wang Nian returned to Taipingdian Town.
