LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 361
“Sword Elder, now that the four top-tier Empires have sent experts to prevent other nations from pledging allegiance to Great Xia, our Beggar Sect, with its limited strength, cannot do without a Grandmaster in charge. Therefore, I want you to impersonate the Beggar Sect leader once again,” Lin Beifan said.
“No problem, Master!” Sword Elder replied.
This wasn’t the first time he had done something like this. He had become quite adept at it.
Just then, Peerless Spear Immortal spoke up seriously, “Master, Senior Brother, how can I miss out on such a fun… such an important matter? I also want to participate, please grant me permission, Master!”
Lin Beifan and Sword Elder were both dumbfounded.
Peerless Spear Immortal wanted to join in the fun?
Lin Beifan looked up and saw the excited gleam in Peerless Spear Immortal’s eager eyes, which only added to his confusion.
Is this really my disciple? Is this the same person who was once a reserved and composed Grandmaster?
Who did he learn this playful behavior from?
At that moment, Lin Beifan couldn’t help but recall what Chai Yuxin had once said.Her master used to be quite playful, a real old trickster. But over the years, as he took on more disciples and in order to maintain a master’s image, he had become more stable.
Was he now releasing his true nature?
“It’s possible, but if you want to join this matter, you must disguise yourself and not reveal your true identity! However, it seems there isn’t a suitable candidate within the Beggar Sect!”
“Isn’t there a deputy leader? He’s been ‘missing’ for so many years. It’s time for him to reappear in the rivers and lakes!” Peerless Spear Immortal chuckled.
In the end, Lin Beifan agreed to Peerless Spear Immortal’s request.
……
Afterward, Peerless Spear Immortal learned some Beggar Sect techniques from Sword Elder and disguised himself as the Beggar Sect deputy leader, Wang Tongtian, and excitedly set off with Sword Elder to carry out their mission.
Soon after, they arrived at the Beggar Sect branch in the Great Liang Kingdom.
Several Beggar Sect elders greeted the reemerging leader ‘Hong Qihai’ with knowing smiles and said in unison, “We greet the leader!”
The Beggar Sect leader nodded with dignity: “Elders, there’s no need for formalities.”
“Thank you, Leader!” the elders nodded, looking at the familiar yet strange person beside the leader with puzzled expressions.
One of the elders asked, “Leader, who is this…?”
The man burst into laughter: “Elders, we’ve worked together for years, and you can’t even recognize me? I’m the deputy leader, Wang Tongtian!”
The faces of the Beggar Sect elders grew even more bewildered.
“Of course, we know you are our Beggar Sect’s deputy leader, Wang Tongtian. But we want to know who is hiding beneath that face.”
The deputy leader proudly showed off his disguise without revealing his true identity.
The leader helplessly said, “Junior Brother, stop fooling around. We have serious matters to attend to!”
The Beggar Sect elders finally realized: “So it’s the venerable Peerless Spear Immortal. Now we can rest assured!”
“Let’s get down to business!” the Beggar Sect leader said seriously.
“The Master has sent us here because the Beggar Sect is in trouble! What’s the situation? Tell us quickly!”
“We’re mainly facing people from the Great Wu Empire! Previously, the Great Wu Empire sent five or six Innates to stop the rebellions, but we managed to disrupt their plans. Not long ago, we received news that the Great Wu Emperor was extremely angry and sent more experts! There’s also a Grandmaster from Great Wu heading our way, but we’re not sure if it’s for this matter. Just to be safe, we asked His Majesty to send reinforcements!”
“I see,” said the Beggar Sect leader.
“You all continue with the plan and complete the Master’s task! If the other side really has a Grandmaster, my junior brother and I will handle it!”
“Yes, Leader!” the Beggar Sect elders responded.
Thus, they continued to fan the flames, encouraging the common people here to become independent and overthrow the government.
Several powerful Innates emerged in the city, but of course, they were all repelled by the Beggar Sect elders.
At that moment, a powerful figure burst into the city, killing as he shouted, “You Beggar Sect, spreading lies and causing chaos! Today, I shall act on behalf of heaven, eliminate you first, and then seek an explanation from your leader!”
Just as he was about to kill a Beggar Sect elder, the disguised leader, Sword Elder, intervened.
He blocked the attacker, repelled him with a palm strike, and shouted loudly, “Why should our Beggar Sect explain ourselves to you? Wu Tianwang, isn’t your Great Wu Empire overreaching by interfering in domestic affairs and trying to harm our people?”
“Hong Qihai! It’s you!” the Great Wu Grandmaster’s face darkened.
“Indeed, it is I!” the leader of the Beggar Sect, holding the Dog Beating Staff that symbolizes the authority of the Beggar Sect, declared solemnly.
Over the years, the Sword Elder had been meticulously studying the behavior and mannerisms of the Beggar Sect leader, Hong Qihai, and now he had perfected the imitation.
Those who were not very close to him could not distinguish his true identity at all.
“You’ve come at the right time, I have something to ask you!” the Great Wu Grandmaster bellowed.
“You bear a grudge against Great Xia, and the people of Great Liang Kingdom wholeheartedly submit to Great Xia. Not only do you not hinder them, but you also lend a hand. Isn’t this helping the tyrant?”
The leader of the Beggar Sect responded with righteous indignation, “Right is right, wrong is wrong. I indeed have a personal vendetta against Great Xia, but that’s a private matter! Now, times are tough, and people have no food to eat. We of the Beggar Sect are chivalrous souls who cannot bear to see the suffering of the people, so naturally, we have to lend a hand! Even if the whole world misunderstands us, we accept it!”
“The Beggar Sect’s leader is righteous! The Beggar Sect is righteous!” the common people wept with gratitude.
“Bullshit!” the Great Wu Grandmaster cursed angrily.
“What kind of character are you, Hong Qihai, and what is the nature of your Beggar Sect? Don’t think I don’t know! Now I’ll ask you one thing, will your Beggar Sect retreat or not?”
“As the number one sect in the world, we have never known the meaning of retreat!” the leader of the Beggar Sect stated.
“…are you not afraid of our Great Wu?” the Great Wu Grandmaster challenged.
“What’s there to be afraid of?” the leader of the Beggar Sect scoffed.
“It’s just a small Great Wu Empire. Don’t think you’re so impressive just because you have a Great Grandmaster. I’m not afraid of you!”
“The leader is mighty! The Beggar Sect is mighty!” the members of the Beggar Sect shouted in unison, filled with admiration.
However, the Great Wu Grandmaster was utterly dumbfounded.
A mere leader of a small sect dared to look down on their Great Wu?
And even dared to provoke their Great Grandmaster?
Was he tired of living?
At this moment, if he didn’t make a move, he would be letting himself down.
“Hong Qihai, it’s either you or me who fell today!”
“Bring it on!”
The two Grandmasters quickly engaged in a fierce battle, darkening the skies and eclipsing the sun.
The Peerless Spear Immortal, who had been hiding in the shadows, became restless.
He had come out this time looking to stir up trouble, and now such a perfect opportunity had presented itself, how could he miss it?
With a whoosh, he burst out: “Wu Tianwang, take this palm from me!”
Caught off guard, the Great Wu Grandmaster was struck by the palm and sent flying a hundred zhang away, his face filled with shock as he looked at the person before him, asking, “Who are you?”
“I am Wang Tongtian, the deputy leader of the Beggar Sect!” the Peerless Spear Immortal declared proudly.
“F*ck!” the Great Wu Grandmaster was completely dumbfounded!
Wang Tongtian, the deputy leader of the Beggar Sect, had also become a Grandmaster?
Did this mean that the Beggar Sect had two Grandmasters?
Goodness, with such a strong Beggar Sect, even an ordinary empire would not dare to provoke them!
