Chapter 309 Everyone’s style
Huang Rong announced according to the gang rules and handed the dog-beating stick that had been handed down by the previous gang leaders to Lu Youjiao. The disciples spat on him, leaving spit all over his head and face, front and back of his body. The ceremony of the new gang leader taking over was completed. The guests congratulated him one after another.

Although Xin Zhen knew that the etiquette of the Beggars' Sect leader's handover was peculiar, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

Suddenly, an old beggar jumped onto a large rock and shouted, "Master Hong has an order for me to pass it on."

When the gang members heard this, they cheered in unison.

They hadn't heard from their old leader for more than ten years and had been worried about him all the time. Suddenly, when they heard that he had given the order, they were all ecstatic.

A beggar in the crowd shouted, "I wish Master Hong all the best!"

The beggars shouted together, their voices truly shaking heaven and earth. The shouts rose and fell, and it took a long time before they stopped.

All the beggars were excited, some even burst into tears.

The old beggar said, "Half a year ago, I met old Gang Leader Hong in Shixing County, Shaozhou, Guangnan East Road, and drank with him. He was in good health, had a good appetite, and could drink just as much as before."

The beggars shouted loudly again, with a lot of laughter. The old beggar repeated some of Hong Qigong's instructions, and the beggars were very happy again.

Afterwards, the Beggars' Gang held a general meeting to discuss matters such as rewards and punishments, promotions and demotions within the gang. Guests from outside the gang were not comfortable being heard, so they all took their leave and left.

Xin Zhen and others also followed the crowd out.

At night, the Lujiazhuang was decorated with colorful lights and candles inside and outside.

Altogether there were more than 200 tables in the main hall, front hall, back hall, wing hall, and flower hall, and more than half of the world's famous heroes attended the banquet.

This heroes' banquet is a rare event that only happens once every few decades. The host must have a wide network of friends and be admired by everyone, and he must also be wealthy and able to afford such a huge expense. Otherwise, it would be impossible to invite so many martial arts heroes.

Xin Zhen's Quanzhen Sect was arranged in the main hall, together with Guo Jing and his wife. The Quanzhen Sect has been very prosperous in recent years and is highly respected.

Therefore, many martial arts heroes came to greet him. As expected, Hao Datong just chatted with them briefly and then let Xin Zhen talk to the heroes on his behalf.

Although the heroes were surprised, they also knew that this might be the Quanzhen Sect's new representative to interact with the martial arts world, and that he would become a big figure in the Quanzhen Sect in the future, so they did not dare to underestimate Xin Zhen.

As they talked, they also found that Xin Zhen was well-informed in his actions, spoke politely and with manners, had an extremely active mind and an amazing memory.

Sometimes dozens of people came up and gave their names in a disorderly manner. The next moment Xin Zhen would be able to call out these people's names one by one, making everyone feel that they were valued and very happy.

While accompanying the guests, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were also paying attention to Xin Zhen. They found that Xin Zhen was representing the Quanzhen Sect to receive the martial arts masters, which confirmed that Xin Zhen was highly valued.

Guo Jing couldn't help but feel gratified when he saw Xin Zhen interacting with the martial arts heroes with ease and demeanor of a great man.

Huang Rong was in a complicated mood. She looked at the two Wu brothers surrounding Guo Fu, and the arrogant Guo Fu, and sighed in her heart. Fortunately, there was still Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, otherwise Huang Rong would have felt even more uncomfortable. Guo Fu did not pay attention to her mother's eyes. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xin Zhen's every move, watching his unworldly temperament and the aura of a great man when receiving guests, and her eyes sparkled.

The attention of both Wu and Da Wu was on Guo Fu. How could they not know that Guo Fu was different? Seeing Guo Fu like this, they felt bitter and angry in their hearts, and they all looked at Xin Zhen angrily.

The Wu brothers originally only felt threatened, but now they felt that Guo Fu's mind had changed.

They knew Guo Fu's personality very well. Even though Guo Fu kept saying bad things about Yang Guo, that was only because Yang Guo did not come to please her.

The Wu brothers originally looked down on Yang Guo, but after seeing Guo Fu's performance, Wu Xiuwen thought angrily: "Why don't I humiliate him severely? Let him make a fool of himself in front of all the heroes. Sister Fu has always been very competitive. If this Yang Guo falls down in public, Sister Fu will never want him to be her husband again."

Today, Zhu Ziliu, one of the fishermen, woodcutters, farmers and scholars, came to attend the Heroes Conference. Zhu Ziliu was Wu Santong's fellow apprentice. Feeling sorry for the two brothers' loneliness, he passed on the One Yang Finger to them.

He had just learned the One Finger Kung Fu from his uncle, and thought it would be a good opportunity to give it a try, so he stood up, filled two glasses with wine, walked to Xin Zhen, and said, "Brother Yang, you must have been very proud of yourself these years, right? Let me toast you."

Xin Zhen was originally chatting with the other heroes and did not notice Wu Xiuwen's expression. When he saw him coming over to toast him, he thought to himself, although you and I have known each other since childhood, you two brothers have always been jealous of me. How could you be so kind to toast me? I'm afraid there's something fishy about the wine.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu, but I am wearing a Taoist robe and determined to become a Taoist, so I won't drink. I will drink tea instead."

As he spoke, Xin Zhen casually picked up the tea from the table, gestured to Wu Xiuwen, and drank it first.

At this moment, Wu Xiuwen suddenly stretched out his right index finger and pointed it at his waist. Wu Xiuwen blocked the eyes of others with his body, and this finger was aimed at Xin Zhen's "Laughing Waist Point". According to the uncle's words, if you use the One Yang Finger Technique to hit the enemy's "Laughing Waist Point", the opponent will laugh and scream, and the acupoint will not be unblocked, and he will laugh all the time.

Although Wu Xiuwen blocked most of the sight, Xiao Longnu on the side could see it clearly. However, in the blink of an eye, she only had time to utter a word: "Be careful!"

Xin Zhen's martial arts had reached a certain level. His five senses were sharp, and he noticed Wu Xiuwen's move as soon as he made it. In a split second, he had no time to think and just swung his sleeve to attack.

It was hard to control the strength as he acted in such haste, and his sleeves made a popping sound under the influence of his strong energy. He immediately realized that if his sleeves hit Wu Xiuwen, all his bones would be broken and he would be crippled.

Xin Zhen quickly retracted most of his strength and moved his sleeve to one side. Even so, the edge of his sleeve still brushed Wu Xiuwen's chest.

Wu Xiuwen only felt an overwhelming force coming at him. Before he could react, his breathing stopped and he was thrown into the air, spurting out a large amount of blood, and then crashed onto the wine table.

The table was overturned and the food and wine flew everywhere. The people at the table left quickly for fear of being affected.

Such a sudden commotion immediately attracted everyone's attention. Guo Jing and Huang Rong came over and saw a large amount of blood on Wu Xiuwen's chest, and he was unconscious.

Guo Jing asked in surprise: "What happened?"

At this time, Wu Dunru rushed over angrily and yelled at Xin Zhen: “Yang Guo, my brother was toasting you out of kindness, why did you suddenly attack him!”
