However, Hong Qigong is also wounded and he gives Huang Rong his Dog Beating Staff, effectively handing over his leadership of theBeggars' Sectto her.

Yang Kang lies that he is the new chief of the Beggars' Sect as he has the Dog Beating Staff, a symbol of the sect's leadership. However, Guo Jing and Huang Rong break free and challenge Yang Kang.
