Chapter 67: 067 The Number One Power in the World (Celebrating the Alliance Hierarch’s Urgent Need as a Drinking Snack)_1

Having set his future goals, Duge did not rush to leave; his abilities came from the attributes of keywords, and maintaining the foundational base was crucial at any time.

Duge recruited the rangers watching the excitement on the mountain into the Peacekeeping Gang and promised them benefits, letting them spread the word of the Battle of Hua Mountain so that more people would become aware of the threat and the uncontrollable nature of the Heavenly Demon.

He also sent out disciples from the Hua Mountain Sect to form a new patrol squad, who were dispatched to small factions under the control of the Hua Mountain Sect to investigate whether they were harboring the Heavenly Demon, while also punishing the villains around Hua Mountain and promoting the philosophy of the Peacekeeping Gang to the public, thus further expanding their influence.

As long as the territory maintained was large enough, even if one area was compromised, his attributes would not drop too much.

In the battle of Hua Mountain, many disciples were injured at Duge’s hands.

But Duge’s noble actions in maintenance won the support of most Hua Mountain disciples; their enthusiasm for working for Duge even surpassed that for Zong Gui.

Most importantly, the quality of Hua Mountain disciples far surpassed the ragtag members of the Iron Palm Gang, and having suffered greatly in the battle of Hua Mountain, their hatred for the Heavenly Demon had seeped into their very bones, with zero tolerance for it.

Duge did not pass up any opportunity to simulate a backstab scenario, considerately equipping this group of Hua Mountain disciples with a set of experiences to combat the Heavenly Demon.

There were scouts, long-range support, reinforcements, and assault troops…

Should they encounter an unreasonable divine skill user like Tan Hongsheng, not everyone would be trapped inside, without even a messenger being able to escape.

Tong Shihong, severely injured, had no choice but to recuperate in the Hua Mountain Sect.

However, he was worried that if the events of the Hua Mountain Sect were to spread, the disciples of the Divine Fist Gate in Luyang City might cause trouble and provoke Feng Qi, so he immediately wrote a letter to the disciples of the Divine Fist Gate in Luyang City, detailing the events of the battle at Hua Mountain and also issuing the order for them to examine their own for the Heavenly Demon and maintain social stability.

Pain prompts growth.

Tong Shihong was completely cowed by Feng Qi and didn’t dare even entertain the thought of causing trouble.

…

All preparations were completed.

Duge and his two companions set out on their journey again, heading for Mount Tai, but now they were accompanied by the Sect Leader of the Hua Mountain Sect, Zong Gui.

Following the battle at Hua Mountain, each member of Duge’s trio experienced significant growth in their attributes, making them even more confident about the journey ahead.

In promoting Feng Qi to become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, Zong Gui spared no effort. Whatever Duge needed, he provided without a second word.

So.

The Golden Rosy Cloud Sword of Sect Master Zong became Duge’s new weapon, and he also acquired his very own internal cultivation methods—the “Great Calm Heart Method” of the Hua Mountain Sect.

Enhanced attributes changed Duge’s aptitude, and cultivating the “Great Calm Heart Method” advanced at a rapid pace, but life is strange like that; with the cultivation technique at hand, there oddly wasn’t time to cultivate, as Duge had to spend all his time traveling and consolidating the martial worlds’ factions.

But by this time, Duge wasn’t so concerned about martial arts anymore, because he discovered that as long as his attributes were high enough, qinggong didn’t play a big role in combat.

Most people couldn’t even take flight when facing him and would be backstabbed before they knew it.

Those with good qinggong might be able to leap half a meter, but then, the sword aimed at the back might just hit a more delicate spot, hardly better than an instant death.

…

Luyang City was located midway among several sects.

Traveling from Luyang to Hua Mountain would take two days, while it would take three to four days to travel from Hua Mountain to Mount Tai.

Thanks to the help of the rangers, the spread of information was much faster than Duge had imagined.

In just a few days, the plight of the Hua Mountain Sect had spread across the rivers and lakes, quickly radiating outward and causing a huge stir in the martial worlds.

The fall of the Heavenly Demon was secondary; what shocked them was that the great Hua Mountain Sect, even with the aid of the Heavenly Demon, had suffered a terrible defeat at the hands of Feng Qi and his two companions and was forced to join the Peacekeeping Alliance.

This terrifying fact forced all sects to reassess both Feng Qi’s personal strength and their attitude towards the Heavenly Demon.

Just as Duge believed, in the martial worlds, those with the bigger fist had the greater say.

When Duge forcefully demanded that all major sects thoroughly investigate their ranks for the Heavenly Demon, although these sects were angry, they did not think there was anything improper about it.

After all.

The cautionary tale of the Hua Mountain Sect was there for all to see.

With Feng Qi single-handedly toppling the Hua Mountain Sect and now with the added support of Hua Mountain and Divine Fist Gate, it would be like adding wings to a tiger; individual sects could never be his match.

Of course.

No one believed that Feng Qi was acting to uphold justice for the world; they were more inclined to think that he was using the Heavenly Demon as an excuse to swallow their sects, or alternatively, using them to eradicate the Heavenly Demons from this world and ultimately become the only one revered.

An invitation to elect the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch said it all.

From every aspect, this was advantageous to Feng Qi’s Peacekeeping Gang.

Perhaps the remaining sects could join forces to qualify to fight against the Peacekeeping Gang.

But Feng Qi didn’t give them time to unite.

Historically, any major event in the Martial Worlds would require several months of preparation: correspondences, arranging manpower, locations, etc.

But Feng Qi only gave them seven days.

Having just taken Hua Mountain, they likely hadn’t even warmed their seats before setting out to cause trouble again.

In such a short time, the news from the Hua Mountain Sect couldn’t have spread far; how could they possibly unite the other sects? Moreover, because of Bai Xiaosheng’s letter, many experts within the sect had been dispatched elsewhere…

At that moment.

The sects surrounding Luyang City felt endangered and had to make a choice between joining the Peacekeeping Gang and using the Heavenly Demon to resist the Peacekeeping Gang.

Mount Tai Sect was the first to face the brunt.

Then.

When Duge and his companions ascended Mount Tai, they witnessed this scene: Sect Leader Qin Wenzheng of the Mount Tai Sect warmly welcomed the three from the Peacekeeping Gang with the sect’s elites, joining the Peacekeeping Alliance immediately and presented three corpses of Heavenly Demons as a welcome gift.

Qin Wenzheng had made the most correct decision from the bottom of his heart.

It was an inevitable decision.

Because Qin Wenzheng received the message faster and more accurately than others.

The letter from Feng Zhong to the Mount Tai Sect said that the Nameless Ancestor of Mount Tai had perished in Hua Mountain, leaving behind the “Return Bird Swordsmanship” which was picked up by the first disciple of Hua Mountain.

The moment he received the letter, Qin Wenzheng sent a sect elder to Hua Mountain to secretly investigate whether the news was true. Although they couldn’t find any trace of the secret manual, the elder personally witnessed Feng Qi’s ruthless actions and the Hua Mountain Sect’s powerless defense.

Therefore.

The elder of the Mount Tai Sect was terrified and didn’t even bother looking for the secret manual. He rushed back to Mount Tai overnight to discuss countermeasures with the Sect Leader.

The strength of the Mount Tai Sect was about the same as that of Hua Mountain Sect. It wasn’t worth risking the future of the Mount Tai Sect for the sake of a few Heavenly Demons within it.

After all, Feng Qi’s Peacekeeping Gang was relatively mild compared to other Heavenly Demons, whose predictability was questionable. Rather than wait for these unfamiliar Heavenly Demons to grow stronger and possibly backstab them, it was better to ally with Feng Qi.

At least for now, Feng Qi seemed only concerned about other Heavenly Demons and not so eager for power. Moreover, Feng Qi’s men were all old acquaintances, and in case of any issues, there was room for discussion.

They just needed to restrain their disciples from committing evil deeds.

After weighing the pros and cons.

The higher-ups of the Mount Tai Sect promptly and decisively eliminated the three Heavenly Demons, who were excitedly dreaming of taking down Feng Qi and inheriting their attributes, and turned them over to the Peacekeeping Gang as a gesture of allegiance.

The key attributes of the three Heavenly Demons are said to be strength, integrity, and loyalty. But what the real keywords were, nobody could verify after their deaths, nor was it that important anymore.

…

The news of Mount Tai Sect’s allegiance without any casualties quickly triggered a chain reaction.

Following closely was the Emei Sect. They were more proactive; after eliminating a few Heavenly Demons within the sect, they also swept through nearby towns around Emei, found two more Heavenly Demons to hand over, and publicly announced their support for Sect Leader Feng’s cause of peace before Duge’s group even reached Emei. Thus, the Emei Sect joined the Peacekeeping Alliance.

From then on.

The Peacekeeping Alliance had four top-tier sects: Hua Mountain, Divine Fist Gate, Mount Tai, and Emei Sect, suddenly becoming the largest force of the era.

The pressure was on the Beggar’s Gang.

The Beggar’s Gang was the last force surrounding Luyang City. Taking down the Beggar’s Gang, Duge’s Peacekeeping Gang would have created an impregnable domain centered on Luyang City, radiating outwards to five sects.

The sects that joined the Peacekeeping Gang eradicated the Heavenly Demons within them, and their disciples formed patrol teams, scouring the world for hidden Heavenly Demons. This directly caused the remaining number in the simulation field to drop again.

In seven to eight days’ time, less than 130 participants were left.
