The Eagle Cult not only refused to negotiate the price, but also doubled the ransom. Lin Ye understood the meaning after a little thought.

Although the method seemed foolish, it actually allowed them to display the wealth and arrogance of the Eagle Sect in front of the Beggars' Sect. It should be noted that people in the martial arts world value face the most.

Why do some martial arts practitioners threaten suicide when they are humiliated? This is the reason.

Secondly, it can also win over the hearts and minds of the followers within the church, so why not?

He just couldn't understand why the other party would give him a thousand taels of silver. Did they want to poach his talent?

Perhaps... there's also a hint of sowing discord.

Perhaps it's a combination of both.

Sure enough, following Yin Wufu's words, all the Beggars' Clan brothers looked at Lin Ye.

Clearly, it was his turn to speak.

Lin Ye laughed and said, "Vice Leader, the Eagle Sect has given our Beggars' Sect such a generous gift. Why should we be polite? Tell the brothers to put the silver away."

The deputy leader smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity."

"Put it away."

As soon as he finished speaking, two disciples came up and tried to take the two boxes of silver away.

Yin Wufu was taken aback. This brother neither refused nor accepted it, but instead gave it directly to the gang. It was truly interesting.

Just as the two Beggars' Sect disciples reached out, Yin Wufu said, "Wait a minute."

"The silver from our Sky Eagle Sect is of mixed purity. Won't your sect inspect the goods?"

The deputy leader, puzzled, frowned slightly and said, "No need. We believe in your sect's sincerity."

Yin Wufu laughed and said, "It's better to check it first, so as not to damage the credibility of our Sky Eagle Sect afterward. Brother Lin, come and take a look."

As he spoke, he took a silver ingot from a box and threw it at Lin Ye.

Everyone was stunned. Before they could even see the silver's trajectory, Brother Lin gently squeezed it, and the silver was already in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Yin Wufu was secretly alarmed. His throw just now contained considerable force. If the opponent were an ordinary second-rate expert, he would definitely not be able to catch it, and even if he did catch it, he would inevitably suffer some internal injuries.

But this kid took it so easily; the depth of his inner strength was truly terrifying!

"There's no problem, please don't worry, senior."

Lin Ye took it in his hand, looked at it, and threw it back to the other party. It drew an arc in the air and landed in Yin Wufu's hand.

Upon receiving this, Yin Wufu was even more horrified.

He thought the kid would throw it back with even more force, but he didn't expect the other party to just toss it casually.

Concealed but not revealed...

Having roamed the world for many years, he knew that this kind of person was the most terrifying and the most difficult to deal with.

Yin Wufu reluctantly put the silver back, revealing an unnatural smile.

"Since there are no problems, we'll take our leave now. Farewell, everyone."

Yin Wufu bowed repeatedly and left with Yu Sanpao. The Beggars' Clan members didn't make things difficult for them, letting them go outside the courtyard and watching them leave.

After Yin Wufu and the others left, the deputy leader asked Lin Ye, "Brother Lin, what do you think they were up to?"

Lin Ye said, "I don't know, but I feel things aren't that simple. Vice Master, I'll go out and take a look."

"Um."

Lin Ye went outside the courtyard, concealed his tracks, and followed Yin Wufu and the others at a distance.

They traveled with them through the outer city.

Lin Ye used the Turtle Absorption Technique from the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and also used the Bone Shrinking Technique to lower his body. Although Yin Wufu was highly skilled in martial arts, he did not know that Lin Ye was following him for a moment.

Soon after, he chased them to a secluded house in the outer city. After Yin Wufu and the others entered, he slipped into the alley, quietly pressed himself against the wall, channeled his inner energy into his ears, and listened intently.

There was another group of people in the courtyard, and judging from their voices, there seemed to be quite a few of them.

"Master Wufu, the rockets are ready. When it gets dark, we can fire a volley of arrows and burn down the courtyard of that Beggars' Sect branch, leaving those beggars with nowhere to bury their bodies."

Lin Ye overheard this from outside and thought to himself.

So that's how it is. He said it wouldn't be that simple. It turns out the Sky Eagle Cult wanted to wait until they were complacent before taking revenge at night.

Lin Ye decided to listen more and wait until all the information was collected before making a move.

However, at this moment, Yin Wufu said:

The plan has been cancelled.

The man was taken aback: "Master Wufu, why is that?"

"For no reason other than that there are experts there, and our small group can't handle them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye temporarily put down the knife he had drawn.

"Master Wufu, with just a small branch, who else can be your match?"

"Don't speak so confidently. There are always people more skilled than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. I secretly tested him, and his martial arts are no less than mine. If you act rashly, you'll definitely suffer a loss. Chief Yu, no wonder you failed and fell into this person's hands. You can't blame yourself."

"I am ashamed, for I am not skilled enough."

"Unfortunate Lord, are we just going to let this go like this? Where are we, the Sky Eagle Sect, supposed to vent our anger? Should we ask our Sect Leader to send a few altar masters over?"

"That's your business. As I said, I'm only here to redeem Master Yu. Besides, recently the various martial arts factions and the Ming Cult have been at odds with each other, fighting each other endlessly. The leader has many worries and I'm afraid he can't spare any energy for the time being."

"Lord Wufu, didn't our Heavenly Eagle Sect break away from the Ming Cult and establish our own sect long ago? What does the life or death of the Ming Cult have to do with us?"

"How could you possibly know the leader's thoughts? Although he left the Ming Cult in a fit of pique back then, he would never stand idly by if the Ming Cult were in trouble. What, do you have a problem with that?"

"We dare not. The leader ordered us to go east, so we would never dare to go west. Our lives belong to the leader, so how could we have any disloyal thoughts?"

"That's good then. We lost this time, but we'll have a chance to get our revenge in the future. That's all for now, I'll be going now."

"Unlucky Master".

"What's wrong?"

"Today we discovered that Tartars have entered the city."

"What's so strange about the Tartars entering the city? Where in this world isn't inhabited by those stinking Tartars these days?"

"This time is different. The leader is a young man, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in Han Chinese clothing, and followed by a group of experts. The young man must be no ordinary person."

Yuan Ting's youth...

Lin Ye, who was outside the courtyard, heard this and frowned slightly. Zhao Min used to like dressing up as a man. With this kind of entourage, it must be Zhao Min.

So they had been planning this all along?

Lin Ye continued to listen intently, and then heard someone say again from inside:

"No matter how complicated it is, it's none of our business."

"But we saw members of the Beggars' Sect among that group."

"A member of the Beggars' Sect?"

Lin Ye was taken aback when he heard this, but then he seemed to realize something and his expression softened.

The Beggars' Sect members they were referring to might just be the Eight-Armed Divine Swordsman.

In the original story, the Eight-Armed Divine Swordsman was originally an Eight-Bag disciple of the Beggars' Sect. His swordsmanship was so superb that it seemed as if eight arms were dancing with the sword.

It is said that he died of a serious illness more than ten years ago, and it turns out that he went to the Yuan court to be used by people.

Later, he became one of Zhao Min's three most capable henchmen, A-Da.

Lin Ye thought again, but it might not be him. Maybe one of his brothers had been captured. That would be terrible. So he listened carefully again.
