91: Chapter 91 Drunken Immortal Restaurant Lunch, the Beggars' Clan Returns

"You tell me, why do they listen to you so obediently?" Yin Susu asked, looking at the busy figures downstairs, somewhat puzzled.

Lu Chen smiled triumphantly and said: "You don't understand this, do you? This is called investment! My, Lu Chen's, investments are always a sure win without loss."

"Investment? What kind of investment?" Yin Susu asked curiously.

Lu Chen smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice, and said: "Why do you think Wudang Sect is so actively participating in this gathering of righteousness? It's because I gave them enough benefits."

"Benefits? What kind of benefits?" Yin Susu pressed.

Lu Chen raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "The Nine Yang Divine Skill! I helped them complete the Nine Yang Divine Skill; that is a huge favor. Also, Yu Daiyan's injury was cured by me as well."

Hearing this, Yin Susu understood in her heart.

Lu Chen shrugged: "A piece of cake. Since Wudang Sect owes me such a big favor, they naturally have to cooperate with us diligently."

Yin Susu curled her lips and said: "Hmph, even if you helped Wudang Sect, will they really listen to you wholeheartedly? Wudang Sect is a righteous sect that values Jianghu morality. What if they betray you later?"

Lu Chen laughed and said confidently: "Betray? Don't forget, I have raised the banner of resisting the Yuan Court."

"Wudang Sect has always taken upholding justice as its own responsibility."

"Besides," Lu Chen paused, "don't forget, Wudang Sect still has Daoist Master Zhang, Zhang Sanfeng."

Hearing this, Yin Susu's expression changed slightly, and she whispered: "You mean..."

Lu Chen nodded and said slowly: "You must have heard of Zhang Sanfeng's reputation from his 'Sixty-Year Demon Purge', right? In the past sixty years, has anyone he deemed an evil villain survived?"

Yin Susu gasped and said with lingering fear: "So, many of the Martial Forest figures who defected to the Yuan Court also died at the hands of Daoist Master Zhang?"

Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "So, with Daoist Master Zhang sitting in charge, Wudang Sect absolutely dares not betray. They will only fully cooperate with my plan."

Yin Susu nodded.

"Alright, I understand the matter regarding Wudang Sect. As for Emei Sect, it goes without saying. That Sect Leader Fang, hmph hmph..." Yin Susu smiled ambiguously.

It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky.

Outside Zuixian Tower, another group of special guests arrived—disciples of Shaolin.

The leader had a shiny bald head that reflected dazzling light in the sun, like humanoid light bulbs.

Although Wudang Sect, with Zhang Sanfeng in charge, now faintly surpassed Shaolin in the Jianghu, Shaolin, as an ancient temple of a thousand years, had a depth of heritage that was not just talk.

In terms of the number of experts alone, Shaolin Temple was far superior to other sects.

Anyone pulled from the Scripture Pavilion to sweep the floor could be a peerless expert living in seclusion.

This time, Shaolin Temple received Lu Chen's secret letter and sent a great number of experts.

Looking at them, they were all bald, almost scaring away all the mosquitoes in Dunhuang City.

Although Zuixian Tower was large, it clearly could not accommodate so many monks.

Moreover, monks valued fate and did not like crowded and noisy places.

Therefore, many Shaolin high monks camped in an open space outside Dunhuang City, creating a spectacular scene.

Only a few people in charge came to Zuixian Tower to discuss the grand plan of attacking Bright Peak with the various sects.

Leading them was an old monk with a tall stature and a solemn face, wearing a red cassock and holding a Zen staff, giving people a feeling of solemnity and dignity.

It was precisely Great Master Kong Zhi.

He was followed by a few monks, all with sharp eyes and bulging temples, clearly martial artists.

These Shaolin high monks walked into Zuixian Tower, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

After all, Shaolin Temple held a pivotal position in the Jianghu, and their arrival undoubtedly added significant weight to this gathering of righteousness.

"Amitabha, benefactors, greetings." The leader, Kong Wen, put his palms together and bowed to everyone, his voice loud and full of energy.

The Sect Head of Huashan Sect quickly stepped forward to return the greeting and said with a smile: "Great Master, welcome. Please take a seat. Staff, serve the Great Master vegetarian food!"

The Six Great Sects were gathered, and the scene was very lively.

Just then, a commotion came from downstairs.

"The Beggars Gang has come uninvited, I hope the Six Great Sects will not take offense!" A slightly hoarse voice rang out; it was the Chief Dragon Head of the Staff and the Chief Dragon Head of the Bowl of the Beggars Gang.

Hearing this, everyone frowned and looked at the stairs, puzzled.

Two men wearing ragged clothes, with disheveled hair and dirty faces, holding bamboo staffs, walked in.

The one in front was tall and burly with a fierce face, his bamboo staff banging loudly; he was the Chief Dragon Head of the Staff of the Beggars Gang.

The one following behind was short and fat, smiling; he was the Chief Dragon Head of the Bowl of the Beggars Gang.

As soon as these two appeared, they caused a commotion.

You must know that in the past, the Beggars Gang was the number one gang in the world, with power spreading everywhere, and no one dared to provoke them.

However, in the last few decades, the Beggars Gang had been declining, no longer having its former glory.

Now, the Beggars Gang suddenly appeared, and they came uninvited; what kind of medicine were they selling in this gourd?

Huashan Sect Leader Xianyu Tong's face looked a bit ugly, and he cursed in his heart: "Why is this Beggars Gang coming to join the fun for no reason?"

Kunlun Sect and Kongtong Sect also exchanged glances, their eyes full of doubt and vigilance.

"I wonder what business the two Dragon Heads of the Beggars Gang have here?" Huashan's Xianyu Tong suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked with a fake smile.

The Chief Dragon Head of the Staff laughed and pointed his bamboo staff around.

He said loudly: "Huashan Sect Leader is too polite. Although my Beggars Gang has declined, we were once the number one gang in the world. We naturally care about major events in the Jianghu."

He paused, cleared his throat, and continued: "Especially this dragon slaying saber, that is the treasure of our Beggars Gang!"

"Thinking back, this dragon slaying saber was forged by Great Hero Guo and his wife, and Madam Huang, Huang Rong, was the leader of our Beggars Gang."

"It's just a pity that it was later lost in the Jianghu."

"Now that this dragon slaying saber has reappeared in the world, our Beggars Gang naturally wants to get involved and retrieve our treasure."

The Chief Dragon Head of the Bowl also said with a smile: "This time we heard that Bright Peak is going to hold the dragon slaying saber prestige conference, so we rushed here specifically to take back our gang's treasure."

The Chief Dragon Head of the Staff changed the subject: "However, I don't quite understand why the Six Great Sects did not invite our Beggars Gang to participate in such a major event as attacking Bright Peak? Could it be that our Beggars Gang is no longer in your eyes?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people from the Six Great Sects changed.

This Beggars Gang was clearly accusing them of looking down on them, thinking that the Beggars Gang had declined and was not worthy of sitting on equal terms with them.

But the Chief Dragon Head of the Staff didn't feel embarrassed at all, still standing there with a smile, as if the words he had just said were not spoken by him.

As long as you are not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else.

This Beggars Gang seemed to act as if it were the Six Great Sects' fault for not inviting them to this gathering to attack Bright Peak.

Just then, a shrill and mean voice rang out.

"Hmph, the Beggars Gang has rarely interacted with our Six Great Sects for many years. Today, hearing that the dragon slaying saber has appeared, you come running, claiming that the dragon slaying saber is a thing of the Beggars Gang. This Shi Huolong is really good at calculating!"

The speaker was Madam He from the Kunlun Sect.

Her eyes were full of disdain, and she said unceremoniously: "If our Six Great Sects get the dragon slaying saber, does this saber belong to our Six Great Sects, or does it belong to the Beggars Gang?"
