Chapter 194: Internal Sect Strife

Huangshan Town, headquarters of the Red Rainbow Hall.

Zhu Gaoxu followed behind Yu Feipeng, effectively getting a look at the internal personnel structure of a Jianghu sect.

At the same time, he also witnessed an internal dispute within a Jianghu sect.

The cause was the old Hall Master being critically ill, and his two disciples, who were also the sect's Deputy Hall Masters, were fighting for power.

To tell the truth, Zhu Gaoxu had no interest in this sort of thing.

One could even say he felt absolutely nothing.

What a joke; don't forget what his status was and where he came from.

If one really wanted to talk about power struggles, where in this world could anything compare to the Imperial family?

Where could anything compare to the imperial court?

In Jingcheng, he had to accompany a crowd of officials in putting on a show.

Having arrived at this random county town in the North, he still had to watch this kind of drama?

Zhu Gaoxu indicated he had not the slightest interest.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu had already seen through it.

To call these people Jianghu folk was truly giving them too much credit.

Including the previous Black Tiger Gang, that was at most a gang composed of hooligans and thugs who knew a few moves.

The Red Rainbow Hall before his eyes was no better than that Black Tiger Gang.

Although there were many people, most were just a rabble.

Those with real ability, added together, didn't even amount to the number of two palms.

It was a very simple principle: these gangs were different from true Jianghu sects.

Although Zhu Gaoxu had never seen a true Jianghu sect, he had read plenty of novels from later generations.

Combined with a truly great sect like Yihua Palace, Zhu Gaoxu had guessed the situation quite accurately in his heart.

From the very beginning, it was likely different from this kind of hooligan sect.

A true great sect was extremely strict when accepting disciples from the start.

They would select disciples with good natural talent to join the sect, and then the sect would have a set of strict rules.

What Martial Arts to learn upon entry, and at what stage to proceed to advanced Martial Arts.

There was a detailed process for all of it.

But these hooligan sects were different.

First of all, the foundation of such sects was not as deep as that of the great sects.

The Martial Arts held within the sect might only be one or two types.

In such sects, perhaps the few top power-holders had some ability, but the disciples below might be no different from ordinary commoners.

Compared to true great sects, the threshold to enter these sects was very low; basically, any able-bodied person would do.

And after entering, they were mostly taught two or three shallow, crude moves and then left to their own devices.

Unless they made some great contribution to the sect, they would never learn any new tricks in their lifetime.

This resulted in the entire sect having only a few experts in total.

And the internal situation was also very unstable.

It was purely a case of having poor strength while playing fancy games.

Zhu Gaoxu saw this clearly and thought it through thoroughly.

However, in terms of reputation and conduct, the Red Rainbow Hall before his eyes was indeed much better than the Black Tiger Gang.

This was one of the reasons why Zhu Gaoxu had stayed here without leaving.

Ever since entering the North, Zhu Gaoxu found that these Jianghu people and Jianghu sects were becoming increasingly numerous.

This resulted in Zhu Gaoxu having to deal with them.

Zhu Gaoxu had a brain; he would not be so arrogant as to think that having over two thousand men, three hundred Imperial Guards, and his own status was enough to traverse the entire North.

One could see the whole from a small part; whether it was Yihua Palace or the Qishan Five Tigers, or even the Red Rainbow Hall and Black Tiger Gang before his eyes.

Excluding great sects like Yihua Palace, medium-sized sects or small forces like these, while not worth mentioning when scattered,

were still a force not to be underestimated when gathered together.

And Zhu Gaoxu naturally had to find an opportunity to thoroughly understand these people and forces.

The Red Rainbow Hall right now was just such an opportunity.

Since there was fate, Zhu Gaoxu didn't mind giving them a stroke of good fortune!

While thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu turned his attention back to the scene.

At this moment, the two sides had already argued to a white-hot intensity.

That Yu Feipeng spoke first: "Senior Brother Yin Min, although the old Master is critically ill, he is still receiving treatment. Isn't it a bit much for you to be so anxious to seize power now!"

As soon as Yu Feipeng finished speaking, the person called Yin Min sat opposite and sneered, saying: "When the old Master was critically ill, I happened to be away on business. When I returned, you told me the Master asked you to manage the two Red Rainbow branches; who knows if that was really the Master's intention!"

Hearing his senior brother say this, a flash of disappointment crossed Yu Feipeng's face.

"Senior Brother, for so many years, you have been secretly managing the two Red Rainbow branches. The Master was just afraid that during the days he was critically ill, your hot temper would lead our Red Rainbow Hall into doing something foolish, which is why he handed the two Red Rainbow branches to me, intending to persuade you. How can you not understand this, Senior Brother?"

Yu Feipeng was still patiently explaining.

These two senior brothers were both fighting for control over the two Red Rainbow branches.

The origin of the Red Rainbow Hall was also that it was composed of these two Red Rainbow branches.

These two branches accounted for nearly seventy percent of the Red Rainbow Hall's disciples.

It could be said that whoever controlled these two branches controlled the Red Rainbow Hall.

Moreover, the branch masters of these two branches were also among the few experts within the hall.

Yu Feipeng, who held the initiative, was even less likely to easily hand over his authority.

Compared to his senior brother, who was notorious for his cruelty.

Once the other party took power, not to mention that his own life would be difficult.

There was no telling what this vast Red Rainbow Hall would be turned into by the other party.

But that Yin Min clearly would not give up so easily.

Sitting here today, it was clear that he intended to resolve the matter once and for all.
