Chapter 1053: Chapter 259: Chen 94: What, Wu Mu’s Legacy? (Part 2)
A sect need not be established, a humble individual can act out in fury with blood splattering five paces. In those days, they were called rangers.
However, since martial artists required elixirs to break through, they were forced to form various guilds, and had to learn to flatter and even rely on the court to become its minions.
Why? Because they needed elixirs.
And refining elixirs is something a lone ranger finds difficult to achieve; the collection of herbs is challenging, a single Breakthrough Pill often requires several main medicines and dozens of auxiliary medicines.
For a lone ranger to gather these herbs is quite difficult, thus they must rely on forces to help collect them.
These herbs have become controlled resources for cultivation.
They turned into resources controlled by the court to govern martial artists, by sects to govern disciples.
From then on, it’s hard for those from a poor family to become martial artists, which is why the Jianghu oppresses the common people so severely in the Daqian Court.
In the past, when spiritual energy was abundant, a country boy might pick up a Martial Arts Secret Manual and rely on his talent to become a generation’s hero.
But in Chen Jiusi’s era, that’s impossible; if you want to improve in martial arts, the quickest way is to consume elixirs.
Control the elixirs, and if this country boy doesn’t have the support of a great force, he’ll never see success in his life. Even with extraordinary talent, he’ll have to serve as chives for those in power, enduring oppression.
And the only chance to turn your life around is to be like Chen Jiusi.
Rely on opportunity, rely on strength, rely on intellect to gain a dual enhancement in martial arts and influence!
It’s the only path to ascend.
This is also the upper class deliberately monopolizing resources to maintain their rule, much like the monopoly of education in the modern grand beautiful era. In this era, it’s martial arts monopoly; the grand beautiful era is education monopoly.
The banquet ended, the night passed in silence.
Early the next morning, Ni Wenjun looked at the empty recruitment ground, and said to the black man Ah Niu behind him.
“Ah Niu, blow the horn, assemble the troops.”
“Yes!”
Ah Niu’s voice rumbled as he took a cow horn, blew it loudly, and immediately the Azure Dragon Guard crowded around, Chen Jie came with an iron mask to stand behind Ni Wenjun.
Next moment, Ni Wenjun waved his hand, and immediately took people to block the gate and ransack homes.
In just one morning, the Three Great Sects that dominated Qianjiang for thirty years.
The Golden Fish Gang, Iron Sword Sect, Bilang Sect, the Three Great Sects were directly exterminated!
Iron Sword Sect: Sect Leader Sun Xiong was a middle-aged man skilled in using an iron sword, claiming undefeated under the iron sword.
But ended up with his skull cracked by Ni Wenjun’s punch, dead on the spot.
Seeing the sect leader dead, about twenty die-hard members of Iron Sword Sect were butchered clean by Ah Niu and Xiao Hu leading their men.
Finally, the vice sect leader surrendered, along with two elders in the Holding Core Realm and three Energy Transformation protectors who surrendered, adding one Wolf Smoke and two Holding Cores, three Energy Transformation combat forces to Ni Wenjun’s team.
Additionally, they seized 80,000 stones of grain, plus approximately ten thousand taels of gold and silver, and numerous herbs.
After the battle ended, Chen Jie packed some medicinal herbs and conveniently ransacked Iron Sword Sect’s martial arts “Iron Sword Eighteen Forms”.
Ni Wenjun had no objections, merely asked Chen Jie if he could spare them some injury medicine, knowing it would be essential for future battles, Chen Jie agreed readily, leaving fully loaded.
Next was Bilang Sect.
Bilang Sect, Sect Leader, Li Bo, excelled in using the Three-Points Water Festival Whip.
When Ni Wenjun entered, Li Bo was exceptionally arrogant, directly showing Ni Wenjun a set of Water Dividing Whip Technique. It was truly a parade of whip shadows, looking quite fierce.
It was rumored this whip technique was transmitted from Hu Yanzhuo with Double Whips of former dynasty’s Water Pool Liang Mountain, no one knew if it was true or just boasting.
Regardless, Ni Wenjun merely swung a punch, and this Master Li, along with his two Three-Points Water Festival Whips, shattered together.
Ni Wenjun’s evaluation was: flashy.
With Li Bo dead, Chen Jie immediately led people to loot Bilang Sect’s inventory, and with just a glance, he found a fortune.
This small Bilang Sect had stocked up 200,000 stones of grain, and infinite gold and silver, preliminarily estimated at least 300,000 taels, far wealthier than Iron Sword Sect.
In terms of medicinal herbs, Bilang Sect’s stock was also abundant, with many rare herbs, all packed up and taken by Chen Jie.
Regarding secret manuals, Chen Jie collected a pile of whip techniques, including Sect Leader Li Bo’s Three-Points Water Festival Whip Technique, filling Chen Jie’s eighteen weapon techniques gap.
Finally, the Golden Fish Gang.
Golden Fish Gang, Gang Leader, Wang Shouhe, was the leader of the largest gang in Qianjiang.
This Golden Fish Gang did business similar to Chen Jie Mianshui’s Fishing Guild, but on a much larger scale, having over 7,000 guild members.
It was also the largest gang in Qianjiang in terms of numbers.
When Ni Wenjun blocked the door, Wang Shouhe was playing games with his sixteen concubines inside his room.
Hearing the commotion outside, he came out bare-chested.
Upon hearing it was Ni Wenjun, he was quite arrogant: “Ni Wenjun, aren’t you just a lackey of the Maitreya Sect? You have no right to speak to me, let Peng Yingyu come.”
Ni Wenjun laughed in anger at this arrogance, waved a fist, and directly smashed it over.
As the punch landed, he realized he was scared, and with a pop, knelt down and begged for mercy.
But Ni Wenjun hated cowards the most, and directly let Ah Niu, who was watching the fun on the side, chop him unexpectedly.
Head separated from the body.
