" Xiufang, take Ning'er back to her room to rest first!"
Inside the Beggars' Sect' Sect headquarters, Xie Feng, who had just regained consciousness, first spent some time with his wife and daughter. After seeing his beloved daughter asleep from exhaustion, he asked his wife to take her back.
Xie Feng's wife glanced at Wang Hao, who was sitting silently sipping tea, and finally nodded quietly before taking her daughter, who had fallen asleep in her husband's arms, back to her husband's house.
She wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that her husband had said that on purpose. Clearly, her husband had something to say to that person, and it wasn't appropriate for her to stay there.
"Thank you so much, young master, for saving my life. From this day forward, my life belongs to you. I will go through fire and water for you!"
Xie Feng was a smart man, and he immediately staggered off the bed and knelt on one knee to pledge his loyalty to Wang Hao.
He had already resigned himself to certain death, after all, the side effects of that secret technique were too great, and even though he had never used it before, he wasn't very confident that he could survive.
But to everyone's surprise, he was resurrected, and even the injuries on his body were miraculously healed, including his fingers that had almost turned to charcoal.
Although his meridians and dantian had not recovered and he was still not out of danger, he figured that since this person had saved him, he must have made some arrangements for the future, which was not something he needed to worry about.
"You are a smart person, and I never like to waste words when talking to smart people."
Wang Hao, who was sipping tea and flipping through a secret manual, turned his head and looked at Xie Feng, who was kneeling on one knee, with satisfaction.
As he said, there was no beating around the bush. He got straight to the point. "I have a plan that requires your cooperation, but the dangers involved are considerable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you're doomed. Do you dare take on this task?"
Xie Feng could speak immediately, Wang Hao waved his hand and said, "There's no need to reply to me right away. You can consider it. I prefer to use benefits to motivate people rather than force them."
Even if you don't want to do it, I won't be angry. I will still keep my previous agreement and protect your wife and daughters, allowing them to live a peaceful life.
To be honest, if you willingly participate in this plan, the success rate might increase slightly.
Wang Hao didn't originally want to say this, but he really wasn't confident about the plan. To be honest, it was actually a test of this world for him, and the success rate wasn't very high.
Even if it doesn't reach the point of certain death, there's definitely a chance of survival out of nine out of ten.
Moreover, Xie Feng's will is the most crucial factor in the planning process; if his will is not perfect, then there is truly no chance of survival.
Failure is not a big deal, nor is heavy loss; what's truly disastrous is delaying one's exploration of the characteristics of this world.
Therefore, he needs to Xie Feng of all his concerns and truly and willingly participate in this plan.
As for protecting Xie Feng's wife and daughter, it was truly out of the ordinary. The previous promise and transaction were part of the reason, but the main reason was that he discovered that Xie Feng's daughter, Ning'er, had exceptional talent.
Even if she can't compare to Dongfang Bai's level, she has reached Zhou Xueyi's level. With proper training, she will definitely be a great help in the future.
He certainly wouldn't turn away such talent.
Seeing Wang Hao's serious expression, Xie Feng fell into deep thought. Wang Hao did not disturb him but continued to read the manual in his hands.
Because of their previous distrust, Xie Feng's wife only took out the Xie Feng King of Hell Finger manual after he Xie Feng up.
After flipping through the manual, Wang Hao suddenly had a strange feeling.
Although the King of Hell Finger is called a finger technique, it is actually a complete set of martial arts that integrates internal energy, finger techniques, and body movements. The finger techniques and body movements are alright, although they are not bad, but they are only at the Grandmaster level.
But the one called "Blazing Fire Art " is rather strange. Many of its techniques are exactly the same as the Nine Yang Divine Art," making it seem like a weakened and mutated version of the Nine Yang Divine Art."
"Young Master, I've thought it through and agree to participate in your plan. However, I hope you can give Ning'er a chance to become stronger. Her talent is excellent and shouldn't be wasted like this."
After a long while, Xie Feng seemed to have figured everything out, let out a long breath, and solemnly spoke.
If before he only hoped that his wife and daughters could live an ordinary and peaceful life, then after dying once, his thoughts changed somewhat.
He knew very well that his daughter was more talented than him, and it would be a great pity to waste such talent.
Seeing his daughter cry herself unconscious in his arms earlier had broken his heart.
This also made him realize that in this world, you can't just live an ordinary and peaceful life if you want to.
Although he entrusted his wife and daughter to this mysterious young man, he couldn't guarantee that the man could truly keep his promise. Even if the man did keep his word and protect her, who could say for sure that something might happen to him along the way, such as him unexpectedly perishing?
At that time, his wife and daughter would be in danger, so the best way is to ensure that his daughter has strong enough power to protect herself.
Unfortunately, his Blazing Fire Art King of Hell Finger were unsuitable for a woman to practice, and he couldn't find any other suitable techniques. Therefore, he had no choice but to ask this mysterious young master for help.
This can be considered a transaction!
"I grant your permission!"
A smile appeared on Wang Hao's face; he was quite satisfied with Xie Feng's answer.
This guy is definitely a smart one!
Get up!
Wang Hao gestured for Xie Feng to stand up and said, "My name is Zhu Yanzu, a member of the hidden lineage of the Da Ming Dynasty's royal family. From now on, you are my subordinate."
"So, what you used that day, young master, was the Imperial Dragon Divine Fist and Dragon Divine Art of the Da Ming Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, Jie Xie Feng was startled and immediately thought of the Dragon Divine Art unique to the Da Ming royal family.
As the leader of the Beggars' Sect' Sect, he was naturally interested in the Beggars' Sect's two unique martial arts techniques. Unfortunately, the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms had been completely lost, and only two incomplete moves of the Dog-Beating Staff Technique remained.
He had also investigated the Beggars' Sect' Sect's lineage. As far as he knew, the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms had appeared in the world during the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, and it was complete and related to the Wudang Sect and Emei Sect.
Finally, he even found out that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had once obtained the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms and even adapted them into the Imperial Dragon Divine Fist within the Dragon Divine Art.
Recalling the fierce Invincible fist technique Wang Hao had previously unleashed, and the dragon's roar formed by the force of his punches, how could one not recognize that it was the Dragon Divine Art, a unique martial art of the Da Ming Dynasty royal family?
"You do have some insight. That's right, what I used that night was the Imperial Dragon Divine Fist."
Wang Hao glanced at Xie Feng, who had stood up, and was surprised that the guy had such insight, but not entirely unexpected.
"Can you tell me how you acquired your Blazing Fire Art?"
Wang Hao waved the manual in his hand; he was genuinely curious about the Blazing Fire Art inside.
" The Blazing Fire Art is a self-created skill by Xie, but its foundation lies in a fragmented technique that Xie obtained in a secluded place in Mount Emei, which ultimately led to the creation of this Blazing Fire Art!"
Xie Feng did not hide anything and revealed the origin of his Blazing Fire Art.
Now that he has acknowledged this person as his master, he will have no other intentions.
Whether for his own sake or for the sake of his wife and daughters, he must not have any ulterior motives, otherwise he will never have a good ending.
As for the fragment of the martial arts manual, he went to the former site of the Emei Sect to investigate the matter of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
After all, he only found three clues about the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. Two of them were related to the Wudang Sect and the Da Ming royal family, neither of which he could afford to offend. So he could only wander around the former site of the Emei Sect.
Although he did not find the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, he did obtain a fragment of a profound martial arts technique, which led to his rise to become the number one master of the Beggars' Sect' Sect.
" Emei Sect? So that means the Emei Nine Yang Art. No wonder there are so many cultivation methods for the Nine Yang Divine Art."
Upon hearing Xie Feng mention Wang Hao of the Emei Sect, he suddenly realized what was going on and immediately associated it with the Emei Nine Yang Art.
As a loyal fan of Old Master Jin, I naturally know about the existence of the Emei Sect.
At the end of The Return of the Return of the Condor Heroes, Guo Xiang listened to the Jueyuan recount the Nine Yang Divine Art when he passed away. Although she did not remember it completely, with her rich family background, she eventually created the Emei Nine Yang Art, which was ranked alongside the Shaolin Nine Yang Art and the Wudang Nine Yang Art.
Xie Feng obtained should be the Emei Nine Yang Art. It's unexpected that even though the Emei Sect was wiped out by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty, such an opportunity was still left behind.
But it doesn't matter, since he already has the complete Nine Yang Divine Art, so why would he care about the Emei Nine Yang Art, let alone a fragment of it?
"I will have someone arrange for you and your wife and daughters to stay in Xiangyang City for a while. The plan will officially begin there in a month. Use this month to adjust your condition."
After giving Xie Feng an instruction, Wang Hao stepped out.
He had been staying at the Beggars' Sect' Sect headquarters for four days to Xie Feng, and even his original plan to sweep through the martial arts world of Jiangnan had been postponed.
Now that we have subdued Xie Feng, there is no need to delay any longer.
It should be known that in the martial arts world of Jiangnan, besides the Beggars' Sect' Sect, which is the biggest villain, there are many other evil forces. Among them is a force whose evil is no less than that of the current Beggars' Sect' Sect. The sooner it is eliminated, the better.
"I hope Mr. Jie made the right choice!"
Xie Feng sighed in the room, and then a look of determination appeared on his face.
He had no way out. For his wife and daughter, even if this path was wrong, he had to keep going.
On the other side, Wang Hao left the Beggars' Sect' Sect headquarters and headed straight out of the city towards a large neighboring city dozens of miles to the west. His next target was that city.
They arrived at the city not long after, and met up with Liu Zhengfeng, who was already waiting there.
"Have you dealt with that branch of the Beggars' Sect' Sect?"
Wang Hao asked calmly.
During the previous four days, he did not let Liu Zhengfeng and the others sit idly by, but instead sent them out to deal with the trouble caused by other branches of the Beggars' Sect' Sect.
With two Grandmaster -level experts, Liu Zhengfeng and Zhang Yi, leading the team, along with a group of skilled fighters, four days would be enough to clear them out.
"It's all been resolved, but with the collapse of the Beggars' Sect, there will be countless unrestrained beggars, and their future will likely be difficult."
Liu Zhengfeng nodded, then brought up a troublesome matter.
Although I had learned of the Beggars' Sect's crimes from intelligence reports, I realized that their evil deeds far exceeded what the intelligence reports had shown when I saw them with my own eyes.
During this purge of the Beggars' Sect' Sect's branches, he obtained a roster showing that in the Jiangnan region alone, there were over 200,000 beggar children who had been deliberately crippled by the Beggars' Sect to beg.
And these are just the living; the number of the dead is countless.
After all, beggars don't live in very good conditions, and they can easily die from an illness, so the Beggars' Sect' Sect obviously wouldn't spend money on their treatment.
Now that we've eliminated those branch gangs of the Beggars' Sect' Sect, it will be difficult to deal with these beggar children.
We can't exactly let the Mount Heng Sword Sect adopt them, can we?
Putting aside whether the Mount Heng Sword Sect has the financial resources, this incident alone is something that cannot be brought to light, otherwise they would surely become the public enemy of the Jiangnan martial arts world.
This is not what they want to see, so this is a very big problem.
"You don't need to worry about these beggars; someone else will take care of them. You just need to provide them with some assistance in secret."
Wang Hao spoke indifferently, clearly having already made arrangements in this regard.
On the day he decided to wipe out the Beggars' Sect and other criminal forces, he made arrangements by writing a letter and having it quickly delivered to a trading company in Fuzhou.
That trading company looked ordinary, but it was actually a branch of the Azure Dragon Society, and had long been secretly taken over by Yushu. At this moment, that letter was probably already in Yushu's hands.
Once she receives that letter, I believe Yushu will immediately send someone to take over those beggar children.
These crippled beggars might be a burden to others, but to him they are a treasure.
If these beggars diligently cultivate, they can recover from their disabilities once Awakening their Bloodline Power.
Even with injuries like missing limbs, once the Bloodline Power reaches the Fourth Tier, one will gain the ability to regenerate severed limbs.
In this way, he would have 200,000 people under his command, and they would all be teenagers.
At the same time, these beggar children have had dark and painful experiences, so their minds are very mature and their will is more resilient than their peers. As long as they are given a glimmer of hope, they will definitely seize it with all their might, and they will definitely work harder and more diligently in their martial arts training.
Just like the girls Yushu rescued from the Japanese pirates, their natural talents were quite ordinary, but by relying on their desperate and ruthless efforts, their cultivation progress was no worse than that of some geniuses.
How are the preparations going here?
Wang Hao suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with cold light, his heart burning with murderous intent.
"Everything is ready, we can start anytime!"
Liu Zhengfeng's eyes also flashed with a cold light, clearly indicating that he too was considering killing.
