When he was near the Great Victory Pass, he learned about the Banquet of Heroes and knew that Guo Jing and Huang Rong would also come. He deliberately pretended to be poor and came to seek refuge, wanting to see how they would treat him.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Quan Zhen Sect the moment he arrived at Lu Manor. What happened after that was explained in the previous chapter. Shen Mo could not help but sigh after hearing Yang Guo's experience.
The next day, Shen Mo and Yang Guo had breakfast in the hall. They saw Guo Fu waving at Yang Guo in the courtyard, while the Wu brothers were poking their heads out.
"Master?" Yang Guo asked Shen Mo.”
Shen Mo smiled." Since we're childhood friends, let's go."”
Yang Guo heard Shen Mo's words and walked towards Guo Fu.
When Shen Mo saw the two of them walk out of the main door side by side, he started to stroll around the manor. Speaking of which, there were indeed many heroes from all over the world who came to the heroes assembly. Unfortunately, since Shen Mo came to the Condor World, he had plunged into the ancient tomb. Other than to break through to the Condor Realm, he had not walked around the Jianghu, so he did not know anyone in the garden. At this moment, guests were still coming in one after another. Guo Jing was busy greeting these new guests and did not have the time to entertain him.
Shen Mo walked around the manor for a while and felt bored, so he returned to his room. Not long after he entered the room, he heard someone knocking on the door. Shen Mo opened the door and saw Guo Jing standing outside the door. Shen Mo let Guo Jing in and sat down.
"What can I do for you, Hero Guo?" Shen Mo asked.”
Guo Jing looked around the room and said,""I don't dare to accept your teachings. I wonder where Guo 'er is now? I have something to say to him."
"Guo 'er went out with your daughter early in the morning. Don't you know, Hero Guo?" Shen Mo asked.”
"You went out with Fu 'er?" Guo Jing asked in surprise.”
"Guo 'er and Fu' er have known each other since they were young. We haven't seen each other for many years. Now that we've met, it's normal for us to go out and play together."”
After that, he said to Shen Mo," Young Master Shen, my son has lost his father since he was young. He has a pitiful background and has few people to teach him. He hoped that Young Master could teach him well. Guo Jing is extremely grateful!"
"That's good. Thank you, thank you!" Guo Jing said repeatedly.”
After that, Guo Jing and Shen Mo chatted for a while more before he got up to leave and went to receive the guests.
After lunch, the Beggar's Sect members gathered in the forest outside the Lu Residence. The replacement of the new and old Sect Masters was the most solemn celebration in Beggar's Sect. Senior disciples from all over the world attended the ceremony, and the heroes who came to the Lu Manor to participate in the Banquet of Heroes were also invited to attend the ceremony.
For more than ten years, Lu Youjiao had been taking Huang Rong's place to handle the sect's affairs. He was fair, upright, and daring. The two sects of Beggar's Sect, the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Pure Clothes Sect, were convinced. At that time, Elder Jian of the Jingyi Sect had already passed away, Elder Liang had been bedridden for many years, and Elder Peng had betrayed them. There was no one else in the sect who could compete with him, so this replacement was logical.
After Huang Rong made the announcement according to the sect rules, she handed over the dog beating stick passed down from generation to generation to Lu Youjiao. The disciples spat at him, but his face was covered in phlegm. The ceremony of the new sect leader taking over was completed. All the guests congratulated him.
After the Beggar's Sect Meeting, the sect would be holding rewards, punishments, promotions, and dethrones. It was inconvenient for the guests outside the sect to hear about it, so they left one after another.
In the evening, the Lu Residence was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the lights were brilliant. There were more than two hundred seats in the main hall, front hall, back hall, carriage hall, and flower hall. More than half of the world's famous heroes attended the banquet. This Banquet of Heroes was a rare event that only happened once in decades. The host had to have a wide network of friends, be admired by everyone, and be wealthy enough to afford such a huge expense. Otherwise, it would be difficult to invite so many martial arts heroes.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong accompanied the guest of honor and sat in the main hall. Huang Rong arranged seats for Shen Mo and Yang Guo, right next to her. Guo Fu and the Wu brothers sat far away.
Not long after the banquet started, Beggar's Sect Master Lu Youjiao raised his wine cup and stood up. He raised his cup to toast the heroes and said in a clear voice,"Our Sect Leader Hong has sent an order saying that the Mongolian invasion is getting more and more urgent. He has ordered our Sect to fight to the death to resist the foreign invaders. Now that the heroes of the world are gathered here, everyone has loyalty in their hearts. We must discuss a good plan so that the Mongolian Tartars will not dare to invade our Great Song.”
The heroes stood up one after another, expressing their agreement. Most of the people who came to the Banquet of Heroes today were brave men. Seeing that the state affairs were changing and the disaster was imminent, they had long been deeply worried. When someone mentioned this matter, the loyal heroes naturally responded.
After a short discussion, they decided to form an Alliance to Protect the Nation and elected Hong Qigong as the Alliance Leader. At this time, someone said that although Hong Qigong was the Alliance Master, he was elusive and traveled all over the world, which was not conducive to leading the heroes. Thus, they suggested choosing another deputy Alliance Master. When everyone heard this, it made sense, so they started to recommend people. Some recommended Guo Jing, some recommended Huang Rong, some recommended Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji, and some recommended Lu Youjiao.
In the midst of the chaos, four Taoists quickly walked into the hall. They were Hao Datong, Sun Bu 'er, Zhao Zhijing, and Zhen Zhibing. Guo Jing and Lu Guanying were overjoyed and quickly left the banquet to welcome them.
Guo Jing and Hao Datong had barely exchanged a few words when a horn sounded from outside the gate, followed by the intermittent sound of a plate being struck. "Welcome the distinguished guests!" Lu Guanying shouted.”As soon as the voice stopped, dozens of people stood in front of the hall.
