Among the Beggars' Sect elders, some secretly defected to Elder Peng in Mongolia and Elder Jian in the Song Dynasty, feeling uneasy.
Shaolin Abbot Tianming, Quanzhen Sect Leader Ma Yu, Jueqing Valley Master Gongsun Lue'e, Kunlun Sect Leader He Zudao and others went straight to Di Fan to inquire about the matter.
"Mr. Di,"
Tianming and others didn't dare to ask Xiaolongnu, and they were not familiar with the others, so they could only find Di Fan, who they had met a few times.
"Is something big happening in the Beggars' Sect? Do you need our help?"
Tianming spoke directly to the point without any concealment... Well, after the Mongolian army incident, his Shaolin monks had made outstanding military achievements. In order to supplement the troops, he sent nearly 500 monks to join the Wulin Army. Now they are the direct descendants of the Wulin Alliance, so there is nothing to worry about.
Ma Yu also nodded and asked, "The Beggars' Sect is led by Jing'er and Rong'er. If there is a major event, the Quanzhen Sect will not hesitate!"
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, expressing their full support for the Wulin Alliance.
Di Fan smiled and shook his head. Nothing has been confirmed yet, so we can't spread tension!
"Everyone, there's no need to be so sensitive. The replacement of the Beggars' Sect leader is a major event for the Wulin Alliance. We're merely here to observe the ceremony. Everyone, please don't be so sensitive! Sit down, everyone, sit down! Don't steal the show!"
As he spoke, Zhong Mingliang and Huang Yaoshi, who had been warned earlier, echoed, "Yes, yes, we are just here to watch the ceremony..."
"Rong'er is my daughter. If something really happened, I would be the first to jump out. I'm just here to join in the fun. Don't think too much..."
Having said that, several senior executives still spoke up, but Tianming, Ma Yu and others didn't believe a single one!
Just watching the ceremony? Don't overthink it? Are they trying to fool a ghost? How complicated are military and political affairs? Even if they are martial artists and reckless men, they are not idiots who can be fooled so easily, right?
However, since Di Fan and the others had already spoken, and the timing was too sensitive, they couldn't say much, lest they be accused of spying...
After everyone sat down, although there were no big movements, they gave orders, asking all disciples to be ready to fight at any time!
Then, the Beggar Gang Election Conference was officially held in this strange atmosphere!
Inside the grand parade grounds, a high platform loomed in the center. Over a thousand chairs and benches lined the south side, where the nobles sat for the ceremony. Gathered below were over two thousand Beggars' Gang members, all veterans and masters of martial arts. Even the lowest rank was a Four-Bag Disciple. They sat on the ground in the four corners, arranged according to their military rank and prefecture, surrounding the platform. Following the ancestral tradition of the Beggars' Gang, whether large or small, everyone sat on the ground, true to their beggarly nature.
As for Xiaolongnu, Di Fan and other high-ranking members of the alliance, they were all invited by Guo Jing and Huang Rong to sit on the stage and watch the ceremony, and were accompanied by the leaders of several major sects, showing their prominent status!
"Alliance leader, can we start the Beggars' Clan Assembly?"
After everyone sat down, Huang Rong stood up, bowed to Xiaolongnu, and asked.
"Can!"
Xiao Longnu nodded and looked around the scene... All she saw were dirty beggars, some with unclear facial features, some without any characteristics, and she had no idea who was impersonating Huo Du!
This made Xiao Longnu feel furious... After the election, she had to make a rule! Next time there was a large gathering, all attendees had to be clean and present! Anyone with dirty clothes or a dirty face would be kicked out!
Huang Rong had never expected that such a good meeting would actually make the leader feel dissatisfied... She looked at the audience and clapped her hands vigorously...
“Woo woo woo!~”
A disciple with eight bags of blood stood up from the eastern crowd of beggars, placed a large conch shell to his lips, and blew it for a while. Huang Rong leaped onto the stage, bowed to the audience, and said loudly, "Today, our gang is holding a grand meeting. We are honored to have such great heroes, both senior and young, come to watch. We are all deeply grateful for this. Thank you in advance."
He bowed again, and the audience all stood up and returned the greeting.
Huang Rong continued, "Our sect has tens of thousands of disciples spread across the world. I have been entrusted by the leader with many tasks, and I am gradually feeling powerless in the affairs of the Beggars' Sect... For the sake of the Beggars' Sect, we must elect a new leader as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of today's opportunity, we must nominate a hero who possesses both talent and virtue, both civil and military, to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect. As for how to nominate him, I have no prejudice. Elder Liang, please come to the stage and speak."
After saying this, Huang Rong bowed again and then sat down next to Guo Jing...
Elder Liang leaped onto the platform. Everyone saw that his hair was as white as silver, but his back was straight and he looked energetic. His leaps and landings were light and agile, showing his skill. He clasped his fists in greeting and said loudly, "Boss Huang is very clever. Whatever she says is true and it is absolutely correct. But she was too polite and insisted that the four of us elders and eight eight-bag disciples discuss the decision. So the twelve of us, after a long discussion, came up with this idea."
"A martial arts competition! People in the martial arts world don't care about too many things. If we were to judge by the level of literary talent, there would be no way to judge. So, let's compete in martial arts skills!"
Today, the Beggars' Sect will present three candidates, awaiting the challenge from all the heroes! Anyone confident of defeating the three is welcome to come forward and fight. It wouldn't be surprising if a leader like Master Huang could lead us to new heights!
Back in the Junshan meeting, the former leader of the Huang clan was just a little girl in her teens. She beat the four elders of the Beggars' Clan with a bamboo stick and convinced them wholeheartedly. She was truly a hero..."
Everyone was captivated by what they heard, and all looked at Huang Rong. Most of the older Beggars' Sect disciples had witnessed the meeting in person, and recalling the past, a surge of heroic spirit surged in their hearts.
Huang Rong shyly bowed to everyone to express her gratitude...
"But if there are no challengers, or if the challengers cannot defeat our candidates, then these three candidates will fight each other in the end, and the winner will become the leader of the Beggars' Sect!"
After saying that, Elder Liang clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Now, please invite our three candidates to the stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two eight-bag disciples jumped onto the platform together and landed lightly. They were both people with high martial arts skills!
Especially the Wulin Alliance leaders and the various sect leaders on the stage, all recognized the two men instantly... Aren't they both candidates for Beggar Sect elders? Their martial arts skills have also reached the peak of the late stage of the acquired realm! Just one step away from transforming into the level of the Five Supremes of the past!
But, of the three candidates we agreed on, where is the other one? Where is Lu Youjiao?
Those who knew the Beggars' Sect's upper echelons, especially Lu Youjiao's identity, all frowned! Di Fan's heart skipped a beat. Was the wheel of history turning?
[Damn it! Could it be that Huo Du killed Lu Youjiao in advance?]
[Damn! This guy was so quick! No, maybe he heard about the Beggars' Sect election and killed Lu Youjiao in advance!]
[Also, if my memory serves me correctly, it seems one of the four elders has already defected to Mongolia! That's the name... Damn, I forgot!]
