Chapter 224 Rescuing the Beggars' Gang.
Not long after Yang Ke and the others left, Helian Tieshu of the Western Xia First-Class Hall led the Four Evils to challenge the Beggars' Clan. He also used the Western Xia's "Sad Breeze" poison on the periphery, which resulted in the Beggars' Clan being captured alive.
"Wait here for me."
After returning to the inn with the others, Yang Ke immediately asked them to wait for him while he prepared to head to Tianning Temple.
The Beggars' Sect members are currently imprisoned in Tianning Temple. If Yang Ke doesn't go, and without Duan Yu and A'Zhu to save the day, the Beggars' Sect will truly be wiped out.
Although Yang Ke had no mission and wasn't a good person, he couldn't really let the people of Xixia harm the martial arts world of the Central Plains, so he naturally had to go.
"Who is coming!"
The Western Xia First-Class Hall was composed of martial arts masters, and as soon as Yang Ke approached, some people immediately became wary.
"Yang Ke of the Carefree School".
Yang Ke directly revealed his identity.
"Young Master Yang, may I ask what brings you here?"
Hearing the commotion, Helian Tieshu, along with the Four Evils, met Yang Ke in the main hall. Although Yang Ke was alone, they remained very vigilant.
"I've come here to save the Beggars' Sect. Gentlemen, are you going to fight me, or leave now?"
Yang Ke frankly stated his purpose for coming.
Anyway, he doesn't need to hide his strength. If the other party doesn't give him face, he does know a little bit of martial arts.
"..."
Helian Tieshu had asked Duan Yanqing about it in Xingzilin before, and Duan Yanqing said he wasn't sure.
But now that they've been arrested, it would be ridiculous for Yang Ke to just release them.
"Young Master Yang, the four of us will fight you. If you can defeat us, we will retreat. How about it?"
Duan Yanqing used ventriloquism to explain the solution.
Ultimately, the only top experts in the Western Xia First-Class Hall are the Four Evils; the others are only moderately skilled. If even these four can't handle Yang Ke, then...
"please."
Yang Ke calmly signaled to Duan Yanqing and the others that they could make their move.
"Acridine!"
Upon hearing Yang Ke's words, Yue Laosan, who was already dissatisfied and stubborn, naturally rushed towards Yang Ke with alligator snips in hand.
Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe waited for their chance, while Duan Yanqing used his cane to unleash the power of One-Finger Divine Skill to follow Yue Laosan as he engaged Yang Ke in close combat.
"Ding!"
Yang Ke then extended both fingers simultaneously, one pointing at Yue Laosan's weapon, and the other neutralizing Duan Yanqing's One-Finger Divine Skill.
"That's enough, third brother, come back."
When Duan Yanqing saw that Yue Laosan had been sent flying by a single finger, and that his own One-Finger Divine Power had been easily neutralized, he immediately called Yue Laosan back.
"I never expected that Young Master Yang would also know the One-Finger Divine Skill, and that his mastery of it is even deeper than mine. I admire you!"
Duan Yanqing's words seemed like casual conversation, but they actually contained a sense of inquiry.
Because most of those who know the One-Finger Divine Skill now are from the Duan family of Dali, who are all enemies of Duan Yanqing.
"The first place I went after leaving the country was Dali."
"Oh, by the way, Master Kurong of Tianlong Temple in Dali has died."
Yang Ke and Duan Yanqing started chatting like that.
Although he didn't say much, it was up to Duan Yanqing to decide what he thought.
"General Helian, let's retreat."
Duan Yanqing pondered for a moment, then turned to Helian Tieshu and said.
Putting aside whether he could win or not, Duan Yanqing followed a similar path to Murong Fu, both of them coming to Xixia Yipintang because they wanted to restore their kingdoms.
Fighting is fine, but risking your life is not!
"General Helian, your 'Sorrowful Breeze' is useless to me. Take it away and don't make your own people suffer."
Yang Ke stood calmly and said the most hurtful words to Helian Tieshu.
He remained silent for a long time, actually just having his men release the "Sad Breeze" spell, thinking that even if Duan Yanqing lost, he could use this move to defeat Yang Ke. But it turned out to be completely useless.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Yang, we'll leave now. This is the antidote for the Sorrowful Breeze."
Helian Tieshu was decisive. Since he couldn't do anything about Yang Ke, he shouldn't let his men get away with it for nothing, otherwise morale would collapse.
After the Four Evils left with Helian Tieshu, Yang Ke entered the main hall and saw the Beggars' Clan members.
"This is the antidote for the Sorrowful Breeze. Everyone, please recover your internal energy first, and we can talk about the rest later."
Yang Ke tossed out the antidote for the Sorrowful Breeze and gestured for the four elders to ask him questions later.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Yang!"
After everyone recovered, they quickly thanked Yang Ke.
"It's alright, we're all from the martial arts world, we'll naturally help each other out when someone's in trouble."
"The Beggars' Sect has a lot of things to deal with right now, so you should go and take care of them. We can chat later."
Yang Ke waved his hand, indicating that the four elders and the others should go about their business.
Qiao Feng is gone, and before the Beggars' Sect can even finalize its rules, everyone has been arrested. Naturally, we need to deal with this as soon as possible.
The Beggars' Sect is a large sect with tens of thousands of members. With the leader dismissed and the deputy leader dead, the sect is leaderless, which is a big problem.
Yang Ke calmly left Tianning Temple, and soon someone came up behind him.
"Chief Quan, what is the meaning of your following me?"
Yang Ke knew it was Quan Guanqing without turning around and immediately asked him about it.
"Young Master Yang, are you interested in the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect?"
Quan Guanqing's opening statement was a game-changer.
Of course, this is from his perspective.
He thought that the position of Beggars' Sect leader would definitely excite the young Yang Ke, and then he could use his eloquence to persuade Yang Ke to get rid of the many elders of the Beggars' Sect, thereby taking actual control of the Beggars' Sect.
Seeing Quan Guanqing's inexplicable confidence, Yang Ke directly gave him a Three-Corpse Brain-Boosting Pill.
"Do you think I'm young and easy to fool, and you want to trick me into becoming your henchman to eliminate the disobedient elders in the Beggars' Sect, and then kill me in the end?"
"Oh, here's what I gave you earlier, it's called the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, its effects..."
Yang Ke calmly revealed Quan Guanqing's inner thoughts, and then talked about the medicine he had just given him.
"Young Master Yang, I was wrong!"
Quan Guanqing was dumbfounded.
Because Yang Ke really spoke his mind.
As for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill...
Given Yang Ke's current intelligence and wit, how could he possibly be fooled with something fake?
Thinking of this, Quan Guanqing was naturally very upset; it was as if the one who played with the eagle had been pecked in the eye by the eagle.
"Don't look so gloomy. Pick a few younger, more promising people and a few elders, give them the Three Corpse Brain God Pills. With this team, you can rest assured and be the acting leader."
After Yang Ke finished speaking, he suddenly released his internal force, which pressed Quan Guanqing to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
"Understood, Master, I understand."
Quan Guanqing was truly terrified.
He never imagined that the person he wanted to use would be so terrifying.
His martial arts skills are terrifying at such a young age, and he has kept them hidden for so long.
Judging from Yang Ke's current performance, his duel with Qiao Feng was a complete waste.
"Alright, go and handle the Beggars' Sect matters. I'm going back to Dali and will return to the Song Dynasty in a few months."
"Be steady in your actions. If you're not sure, wait. Make sure you keep the Beggars' Sect under your control and don't let the elders oppose you and sideline you."
Yang Ke waved his hand, withdrawing his oppressive aura, allowing Quan Guanqing to go about his business.
"Yes, sir!"
Quan Guanqing nodded obediently.
Anyway, he figured it out; being a lackey for someone like Yang Ke didn't seem so bad.
