Duge looked up.
Wang San’s arm that was holding the knife was soaked in fresh blood, and the willow-leaf saber had already fallen to the ground.
At this moment, he was holding Qiu Yuanlang’s head in an embrace of madness, venting his emotions. With his intact hand, he tore open Qiu Yuanlang’s bandages and scratched wildly at his wounds, “Why? I clearly gave you a chance…”
In agony, Qiu Yuanlang screamed and struggled, his face filled with horror, like a frightened child. He struck Wang San’s lower back with his palms, struggling incomprehensibly, “No, let me go, you Evil Demon, let go of me, let me leave…”
Qiu Feilong charged at Wang San with a sword to rescue his father.
Seeing Qiu Feilong, Wang San’s eyes turned blood red. He suddenly raised his hand and lifted Qiu Yuanlang in front of himself, and sneered, “Darling, are you also trying to kill me?”
Wang San had been injured internally by Qiu Yuanlang’s strikes, and when he opened his mouth, blood filled it.
This terrifying sight, amplified by the Fear of the Delicate, terrified Qiu Feilong. Seeing his father used as a human shield once more, his grip involuntarily loosened, and with a clang, the long sword fell to the ground, “Don’t!”
Watching the favorable situation fall apart because of Qiu Feilong, Duge was enraged. He yanked Feng Zhong by the neck and launched a backstab, charging towards Qiu Feilong.
Bang!
With a kick, he sent Qiu Feilong flying over five meters away. Blood spurted in the air, and he fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and then quickly fell into unconsciousness, his life and death unknown.
Affected by the Fear of the Delicate and the tearing of his wounds by Wang San, both painful and frightening, Qiu Yuanlang also fell into unconsciousness.
Seeing this, all the Iron Palm Gang members who had rushed up to besiege Wang San froze on the spot.
They looked at Duge and Wang San with terror, trembling, not daring to move or flee.
The townspeople who had just been declaring grievances didn’t dare come closer, and just watched from a distance.
Duge let go of Feng Zhong’s neck and walked over to take Qiu Yuanlang from Wang San’s hands, raising him high, “To uphold justice, we must act with thunderous methods. My fellow villagers, do not be afraid. The Qiu father and son, who have disrupted the order of our assembly, have been captured by us.
Qiu Yuanlang, the former Gang Leader of the Iron Palm Gang, a famous first-rate expert in the Martial Worlds, now is like a piece of rag being casually tossed about in my hand. Qiu Feilong, who practiced martial arts for over thirty years, couldn’t last a single round in my hands. What are you still worried about? Afraid that these two worthless beings will rise again and take control of your fate?
He was held at sword point by me; your concerns make sense, but now, he has become a half-dead man. What are you still afraid of?
What you should be afraid of is not having the courage, being too afraid to believe in justice.
If none of you dare to save yourselves while I am here, then in the future, who in this world can save you? My fellow villagers, do not cool this just heart of mine. Today, I will sheathe my sword. Let’s leave Qiu Yuanlang here and see who dares to rescue him.
Come, those who harbor hatred, those who have the courage, come back for revenge. I will help you seek justice, and let us uphold righteousness to the end…”
“Liu Cheng, stop playing dead over there. Come over and maintain order, and by the way, see if there is any hope for the Qiu father and son?” No longer using a sword to threaten Qiu Yuanlang, Duge’s confidence surged. He threw Qiu Yuanlang on the table and proudly sat behind it, “What are you waiting for? Form lines, conduct trials, starting now, there are no more Supreme Elders, I am the Gang Leader of the Peacekeeping Gang.”
The former Iron Palm Gang members acting as government officials were awed by Duge’s presence, each grabbing their short clubs and scurrying back to their places, quickly restoring order.
While Han Zuo and Qiu Muqian were using the apology as a pretext to discuss strategies in Luyang City and hadn’t returned, Qiu Feilong’s life and death were in question, and only Liu Cheng remained at the scene from the high ranks of the Iron Palm Gang. His eyes met Duge’s from afar, his heart skipped a beat, and he obediently walked back. Facing Duge, he knelt on one knee and cupped his fists, “Hidden Dragon Hall Master Liu Cheng of the Peacekeeping Gang, at your service, Gang Leader.”
This was a submission!
Duge’s eyes brightened; indeed, relying purely on threats wasn’t effective. Keeping Qiu Yuanlang alive had given them a hope they couldn’t control, a slim chance of reversing the situation.
Only by crushing their hopes, leaving them with no way out, could he truly make this force work for him.
Wang San, by sheer fluke, had done a good deed.

Of course, times change. Just yesterday, he lacked the power to suppress everything; without Qiu Yuanlang as his tool, he would have already been torn apart by their random blades.
Spider-Man was right; with great power comes great influence.
“Good,” Duge said as he walked around from behind the desk and personally helped Liu Cheng to his feet, “You’re correct; there’s no longer any Iron Palm Gang. From now on, there is only the Peacekeeping Gang. Liu Cheng, the Peacekeeping Gang was founded on the principles of justice for the whole world; we have no need for Hidden Dragons or Flying Dragons. From this moment on, you are the Hall Master of Justice Hall for the Peacekeeping Gang.”
Phew!
Liu Cheng gave a sigh of relief and knelt down again: “Liu Cheng thanks the Gang Leader for overlooking past grievances. From this day forward, I am willing to serve before and behind you, Gang Leader, ready to face death without regret.”
“No, not for me, but for justice in the world, for peace in the Martial Worlds,” Duge lifted him up again and raised his hand passionately, “Let us bow and toil to the utmost for justice, for peace, for order, for faith, for values, and for all that is good until our dying breath.”
So awkward!
At that moment, a twinge of regret flashed through Liu Cheng’s heart, but at this point, he had no choice but to go through with it, managing to squeeze out a smile, “Yes, Gang Leader.”
The sudden change had terrified the common people. Even though Duge swiftly regained control of the situation, they were still hesitant and dared not approach.
Duge simply ignored them and turned his gaze to the gang members of the Iron Palm Gang: “I know that many of you have made mistakes and are worried about punishment.
But no one is perfect. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will go askew. Growing up in the corrupt environment of the Iron Palm Gang, it’s hard not to be influenced by them. Everyone starts good at heart; who is born evil? Many of you have walked crooked paths because of the ways of the world. If you don’t bully others, they will bully you. Over time, that led you astray, which is not your fault.
Therefore, I’ve decided to give you a chance to reform. Except for the most heinous crimes, I will try to use money to compensate for the harm you have caused to the victims.
But I hope that from now on you will turn towards the light and become upstanding, truly good people whom others point to with thumbs up rather than a finger poked at your backbone.”
The former gang members of the Iron Palm Gang murmured among themselves, whispering to one another.
“Well said.”
From the crowd, someone shouted out.
Following that, a wave of shouting, cheers, and applause merged into one.
Duge raised his hand high and then lowered it, bringing back silence to the scene. He looked around at the gang members: “I know what you’re worried about. Afraid that following me means no food on the table. But I am the Heavenly Demon, and the least of my concerns is money. Besides, the vast assets of the Iron Palm Gang weren’t built by me. I assure you, as long as you truly support the Peacekeeping Gang, everyone’s monthly pay will be doubled.”
He paused, “You help me uphold justice, and I will take care of you, ensure your safety, and make sure you have all you need.”
With these words.
Those among the Iron Palm Gang who hadn’t committed many wrongs were quickly swayed, and soon someone stepped forward: “Gang Leader, I am willing to join the Peacekeeping Gang and serve you.”
“I am also willing to serve you, Gang Leader.”
“I am willing too.”
More and more people came forward.
The situation was stronger than the people; they were not Qiu Yuanlang, lacking his far-sighted vision, nor were they Hall Masters or Incense Masters above, with little savings in their hands. Without the Iron Palm Gang, they had nowhere to go.
Feng Qi promised to pardon their crimes and increase their salaries, so why not stay here? Whom to serve, if not him?
Duge scanned the crowd with a smile, “Good, good, good. I knew most people have a sense of justice; they just lack the opportunity. Liu Cheng, after today’s public trial, start re-registering everyone…”
