LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 362
At this moment, the Sword Elder, who was posing as the leader of the Beggar Sect, casually tossed the Dog Beating Staff.
“Deputy leader Wang, you’ve been recently studying the Dog Beating Staff Technique. This staff is now yours to wield!”
“Thank you, leader!” posing as the deputy leader, the Peerless Spear Immortal took the Dog Beating Staff, feeling an immediate boost in strength.
Because the staff could be used as a spear, and he was most skilled in spear techniques.
The Great Wu Grandmaster, witnessing all this, was dumbfounded once again.
The relationship between the leader and deputy leader of the Beggar Sect was so good?
He had paid attention to the Beggar Sect before and knew that although the two leaders appeared amicable on the surface, there were grievances behind the scenes.
However, the deputy leader Wang Tongtian had not been strong enough, which was why he had submitted to the leader.
But now, he has also become a Grandmaster, so why has their relationship actually improved?
“Wu Tianwang, come and meet your death!” The Peerless Spear Immortal swung his staff agilely, excitedly charging into battle.The Sword Elder’s hand now held a sword, its blade sharp and eager for action.
The Great Wu Grandmaster was somewhat panicked. He could handle one Grandmaster, but two were too much for him.
“Both of you, let’s talk this over, no need for violence!”
“Talk over what? Let’s fight first, take a look at my staff!”
The three Grandmasters immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Just as the Great Wu Grandmaster had predicted, he was no match for the two Grandmasters alone, and within less than a hundred exchanges, he was defeated and forced to flee for his life, with the Sword Elder and Peerless Spear Immortal in pursuit.
With the Grandmaster gone, the Innate masters of the Wu faction naturally fled as well.
The elders of the Beggar Sect immediately raised their arms and shouted, “Fellow people, liberation is upon us today! Follow me into the palace, overthrow the tyranny, and take control of our own destiny! From now on, we can live the good life!”
“Charge!” The common people excitedly stormed into the imperial city.
In less than a day, they had dethroned the Emperor and declared allegiance to Great Xia.
Afterward, the Sword Elder and Peerless Spear Immortal, leading the Beggar Sect members, traveled from country to country, striking at the strongholds of the four top-tier Empires, contributing to the liberation of the common people and striving hard for their cause.
“Fellow people, although we are but a group of beggars, we understand your suffering! We have experienced the hunger you feel even more deeply! Therefore, we can no longer remain silent!”
“If we don’t explode in silence, we will perish in silence!”
“So let us all join hands to overthrow all tyrannical rule! Let’s grab the happiness that lies ahead!”
With the loud calls and help of the Beggar Sect, one country after another was liberated.
The common people were moved to tears and gave the Beggar Sect a thumbs up: “The Beggar Sect is righteous!”
Thus, the good reputation of the Beggar Sect spread far and wide.
Inspired by them, many aspiring individuals chose to join the Beggar Sect, which made the Beggar Sect flourish as a result.
Only the four top-tier Empires were furious.
……
Inside the imperial palace of the Great Wu Empire, the Great Wu Emperor was livid: “Those damned beggars, always stirring up trouble! To oppose me is utterly outrageous! Someone, exterminate the Beggar Sect for me!”
“Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the Beggar Sect cannot be wiped out!”
An old minister said in fear: “The Beggar Sect is now not only strong and well-equipped but also has a cloud of masters and two Grandmasters at its helm! There is no way to deal with them unless we send several Grandmasters to work together or summon the Great Ancestor!”
Send several Grandmasters to work together?
He, the Great Wu Grandmaster, only had a few, and some needed to guard key locations. He simply couldn’t spare many.
As for summoning the Great Ancestor…
If he had to call upon the Great Ancestor for such a trivial matter, then there was no need for him to be Emperor!
The Great Wu Emperor said irritably, “Then can we just capture all the Beggar Sect disciples within the Great Wu territory?”
“Your Majesty, that’s not practical either!” the old minister said with a wry smile.
“There are tens of millions of Beggar Sect disciples, and within our country’s borders alone, there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions! They blend in with the common beggars in the streets!”
“Nowadays, more common people have become beggars and have joined the Beggar Sect due to the shortage of food! So, we don’t know exactly how many Beggar Sect disciples there are or where they are!”
“If we insist on capturing all of them, it may cause great unrest, please reconsider, Your Majesty!”
Upon hearing this, the Great Wu Emperor became even angrier: “Are you saying that I can’t deal with them?”
The old minister bowed their heads, answering with their silence.
“Useless! All of you are useless! Get out of my sight!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
After the old minister withdrew, the Great Wu Emperor vented his anger, and the matter was left at that.
What else could be done?
The Beggar Sect is like a festering sore that clings to the bone, infiltrating from within, both foul and nauseating, yet frustratingly difficult to eradicate.
To attempt its removal would mean inflicting a thousand wounds upon the enemy and suffering eight hundred oneself.
There’s no need to squander one’s own strength for the sake of a mere rivers and lakes power.
The other three Empires have essentially conceded as well.
Thus, with no obstruction from the three top-tier Empires, even more nations have thrown themselves into the embrace of Great Xia.
Lin Beifan welcomes all comers, accepting them without exception.
Since these countries are rather scattered, and even some not adjacent to each other, many nations that lack independence have unwittingly entered the encirclement of Great Xia.
Looking south, there’s Great Xia.
Looking north, there’s Great Xia.
Looking east, there’s Great Xia.
Looking west, there’s still Great Xia.
It’s all Great Xia! It’s so scary!
Thus, these countries didn’t even put up a fight. They surrendered cleanly and neatly, throwing themselves into the embrace of Great Xia as subjects.
The territory of Great Xia has expanded at an incredible speed.
One month later, when Lin Beifan opens the Empire Sandbox again, it has completely transformed.
Empire Sandbox (Ultimate)
Territorial Area: 52 million square li (Arable land 28.5 million square li)
Domestic Resources: 8.5 billion taels (gold mines 18, silver mines 30, copper mines 50, iron mines 120…)
Population: 540 million (Wealthy people 1%, Common people 45%, Poor people 54%)
Military Strength: 8.1 million (1 Great Grandmaster, 9 Grandmasters, 216 Innates, 48000 martial artists…)
Comprehensive National Power: 84000 (Celestial Empire level)
……
Territorial Area has increased by over 12 million square li!
Domestic Resources have increased by 1.5 billion taels!
Population has increased by 120 million!
There hasn’t been much change in Military Strength.
But the comprehensive national power has surged by 12000 points, an explosive growth!
“Ding! As the player’s national power has increased, your strength has been synchronously enhanced, rewarding you with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!”
“The Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist is a supreme martial art of a certain great world. With this fist, six paths of reincarnation are manifested, causing mountains to crumble and seas to roar, the sun and the moon to lose their light, unmatched by anyone…”
Lin Beifan quickly absorbed this fist technique, and his strength took a significant leap forward.
