I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
Beggar Sect Leader Hong Qihai, our Great Xia has no quarrels with your Beggar Sect, so why cause trouble at the imperial palace? ”The leader of the Beggar Sect said angrily, “In the past two years, many of our Beggar Sect disciples have disappeared without a trace, totaling over 300,000! ”The Beggar Sect leader pushed him forward and said loudly, “Now, tell everyone loudly what your identity was before?
Not long after, the Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect arrived in Great Xia.
Along the way, he saw the people of Great Xia well-clothed and well-fed, living and working in peace and contentment.
He also saw many former disciples of the Beggar Sect settling down here, getting married, and having children, living very happily.
These scenes were a huge blow to him, making him extremely angry.
“Great Xia, you’re undermining the foundation of my Beggar Sect!
”As the leader of the Beggar Sect, he knew that the foundation of the Beggar Sect was the vast number of beggars.
What kind of person can be called a beggar?
Those without houses, without a job or income, who can only survive by begging, can be called beggars.
These people are the lowest among the common folk, making up the vast majority.
The reason why the Beggar Sect could develop was because of these people.
In other words, the more miserable the people are and the more turbulent the times, the stronger and larger the Beggar Sect can grow.
If everyone had a good life, who would want to be a beggar?
Therefore, the actions of the Great Xia Dynasty were tantamount to digging at their roots.
Now, more than 300,000 Beggar Sect disciples have defected, abandoning their identity as disciples of the Beggar Sect to make a living in Great Xia.
If other disciples of the Beggar Sect found out, they would surely flock there.
By that time, the Beggar Sect would be finished!
Even if it didn’t collapse, it would be greatly weakened!
Then his position as the leader of the Beggar Sect would become nominal, turning into a joke, and he would have let down the ancestors of the Beggar Sect.
The more the Sect Leader thought about it, the angrier he got.
He rushed to the imperial palace in the capital city and shouted loudly,“Great Xia Emperor, come out!
I have questions for you!
”His voice spread throughout the city, causing a huge uproar and stirring up the crowd.
“Who dares to make such a racket in front of the imperial palace?
Do they have a death wish?
”“Wait, that person looks familiar!
”“Indeed, he does… Isn’t that Hong Qihai, the leader of the Beggar Sect?
”“I recognize him too, a hero with both strength and the means, who single-handedly brought the Beggar Sect to its peak!
”“From his tone, it seems like trouble is coming!
But the Beggar Sect and Great Xia don’t seem to have any grudges!
”“Who cares, it would be exciting if they start fighting!
”At this moment, hundreds of Imperial Guards rushed out.
The leader of the guards pointed his sword at the leader of the Beggar Sect and loudly demanded, “Who is causing such a disturbance outside?
”“I am Hong Qihai, the leader of the Beggar Sect, here to see your Emperor.
Tell him to come out and meet me!
” declared the leader of the Beggar Sect with pride.
“What a joke!
Who do you think our Emperor is?
He’s not someone a beggar can just demand to see.
”The guard leader scoffed coldly.
“Get down here and surrender immediately!
His Majesty is merciful; perhaps he will spare your life!
”“I’ll see right now if he will meet me or not!
”The leader of the Beggar Sect gathered a powerful force in his hands and then struck out with a palm.
“Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!
”“Roar~”A dragon made of True Qi burst forth from his hands, stretching a hundred zhang long.
It roared fiercely as it charged into the imperial palace.
“How dare you!
”“Clang clang clang…”Several massive Sword Qi beams shot out, shredding the dragon in the blink of an eye.
An inscrutable elder appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The leader of the Beggar Sect looked up and nodded, “To catch my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms so effortlessly… it seems you must be the Grandmaster of Great Xia, the Sword Elder!
”“That’s right!
Beggar Sect Leader Hong Qihai, our Great Xia has no quarrels with your Beggar Sect, so why cause trouble at the imperial palace?
If you don’t give a reasonable explanation, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
” The Sword Elder said with a cold expression.
He was a Grandmaster of Great Xia, and the Emperor of Great Xia was his master!
This act was a direct affront to his dignity.
If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was powerful and held a special status, he would have taken him down in one move!
The leader of the Beggar Sect was somewhat wary of the Sword Elder.
It was said that not only was he a Grandmaster, but he also possessed a divine sword.
With the divine sword in hand, he was more formidable than many Grandmasters.
Therefore, he decided to temporarily back down and talk things through before resorting to fighting.
“Fine!
Let’s talk then!
”The two descended from the sky.
Lin Beifan arrived belatedly.
Spies from various forces lurking in the area all surged forward to find out what was happening.
Seeing all this, the leader of the Beggar Sect once again spoke out loud, “Our Beggar Sect and your Great Xia have always kept to ourselves!
But, has Great Xia been secretly enticing our Beggar Sect disciples, poaching them from us?
Is this true?
”Lin Beifan laughed, “Where do you get such an idea?
”“Don’t play dumb with me, I’ve already seen it!
”The leader of the Beggar Sect said angrily, “In the past two years, many of our Beggar Sect disciples have disappeared without a trace, totaling over 300,000!
I came here to investigate and found that many of our disciples are in your Great Xia’s construction sites, farms, and even in the military and official ranks!
In other words, our missing disciples have all been taken by you!
What crime should Great Xia be charged with?
”The crowd was in an uproar: “So that’s what happened!
”Poaching so many disciples, 300,000 at that, is indeed very unscrupulous!
No wonder the leader of the Beggar Sect came here in such a rage!
Even with the large number of Beggar Sect disciples, they can’t withstand others undermining them like this!
Lin Beifan cracked a slight smile and said, “Our Great Xia is developing and needs a lot of labor!
We provide food and pay money, which is why we’ve attracted so many beggars!
The number is not just 300,000; it could very well be 30 million!
”“They are willing to use their own two hands to work hard and get rich.
Naturally, I am willing to help them achieve this.
Are you suggesting that all the beggars in the world belong to your Beggar Sect?
You’re overstepping your bounds!
”Everyone agreed.
This made a lot of sense.
Great Xia was offering money and food; not just beggars but even ordinary common people would want to come.
There are so many beggars in the world, what’s wrong with with them wanting to live a better life?
The Beggar Sect was overreaching by trying to control this!
The leader of the Beggar Sect said loudly, “We don’t care about other beggars; we only manage our own disciples!
Since they chose to join the Beggar Sect, they are forever part of the Beggar Sect!
Their coming to Great Xia is tantamount to betrayal!
Therefore, I must root them out and deal with them according to our rules!
”Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Traitors are despised everywhere!
It made sense for the leader of the Beggar Sect to want to capture the traitors and punish them.
The leader of the Beggar Sect glanced at the Sword Elder, speaking with apprehension, “Great Xia Emperor, you could claim ignorance and be absolved of guilt, which I understand!
So, just hand over those who betrayed the sect, and all our grievances will be settled!
”Hand them over?
How could that be possible?
Lin Beifan not only didn’t want to hand them over, but he also wanted to swallow up the entire Beggar Sect to strengthen his own power!
“Beggar Sect leader, you keep saying that we’ve taken your disciples, but here in Great Xia, we only have beggars, not any disciples of the Beggar Sect.
You have no proof.
If you can provide evidence, naturally, I will let them go back with you!
If not, then you should just go back where you came from!
”“Fine, those are your words!
”Suddenly, the leader of the Beggar Sect made a move and pulled a fifth-rank general from among the surrounding soldiers.
The general was tall and imposing, with rough features that made him look formidable.
But in the hands of the Beggar Sect leader, he was sweating profusely and his face turned pale with fear, “Leader…”“It seems you still remember me, which makes things easier!
”The Beggar Sect leader pushed him forward and said loudly, “Now, tell everyone loudly what your identity was before?
”At that moment, all eyes turned to the general.
Under immense pressure, the general looked around hesitantly and stammered, “I… I used to be…”Just then, Lin Beifan’s voice secretly floated over.
“Think carefully before you answer.
Are you a disciple of the Beggar Sect or just an ordinary beggar?
If you admit to being a disciple of the Beggar Sect, you’ll have to go back with the Beggar Sect leader to be punished and you’ll lose everything here.
Think it over!
”The general shivered.
As the Emperor had said, if he admitted his identity, he would have to go back with the leader.
Not only would he be punished, but he would also lose everything he had in Great Xia.
No status, no power, no wealth, no beautiful wife and family…Everything would be gone, back to square one.
Who would want to fall back into the abyss after having tasted the sweetness of sunlight and the fragrance of flowers?
Who would want to return to those bitter, uncertain days?
