Chapter 52: 052 Feng Qi’s ears_1
Outside Luyang City.
Under a pavilion intended for rest beside the main road, Tong Shihong looked silently at the bustling Peacekeeping Gang not far off.
Qiu Muqian stood by his side, also silent.
The two of them, after listening to the story of the old noodle-eating man slaying Gluttony and seeking verification from over a dozen people, came up with the same conclusion, and since then, they had been in this state.
“Uncle Tong, are you unsure about dealing with Feng Qi?” Qiu Muqian couldn’t help asking.
A few involuntary twitches crossed Tong Shihong’s brow as he said, “Every man has his weakness, and the Heavenly Demon is no exception. Reviewing all of Feng Qi’s battles, he has always ambushed from behind. From this, we can deduce that his weakness must lie in the front. If we don’t give him the opportunity to get behind us, we can still eliminate him.
However, to get rid of Feng Qi, we must first kill Wang San; his voice can disturb one’s focus. In battle, once your focus is disrupted, defeat is inevitable. We still don’t know what Divine Skills Feng Zhong possesses. Niece Muqian, the Heavenly Demon is unpredictable. We need to think this through carefully and not act rashly…”
Listening to his long speech, Qiu Muqian said, “Uncle Tong, if Feng Qi always attacks from behind, can’t we guard our vital areas with the Heartguard Mirror to fend him off? I’ve been away for only three days, and Feng Qi has grown to this extent. If we let him keep growing, who in the Martial Worlds will be able to control him? His intention is clearly to swallow the whole Martial Worlds.”
“Muqian, I’m well aware of what you mean, but when masters contend, an inch of difference can mean a mile of error. With a slab of iron on your back, your entire movement would be distorted. How then can one properly execute techniques?” Tong Shihong replied.
I didn’t say an iron slab, I was talking about the Heartguard Mirror.
Qiu Muqian muttered under her breath, “Uncle Tong, what do we do now then?”
Tong Shihong said, “Feng Qi is the root of chaos. To eliminate him once and for all, we must ensure no problems are left unchecked. Muqian, stay in Luyang City, try to contact the former members of the Iron Palm Gang, keep collecting information on Feng Qi, and watch his movements. I’ll go to Hua Mountain to request Sect Master Zong’s aid. We’ll strike separately to ensure we completely eradicate him.”
Qiu Muqian’s eyes widened, “Uncle Tong…”
“It’s settled,” Tong Shihong said decisively, about to turn and leave.
Suddenly.
A loud voice came from the direction of the Peacekeeping Gang, “Sect Master Tong, since you’re already here, it would be rude not to enter the door. Feng has long admired Sect Master Tong’s renowned name. If this gets out, people will say Feng lacks manners.”
The voice grew louder as it neared.
By the time the last word was spoken, Duge was already less than a hundred meters away from the two.
Having maintained the safety, order, and justice of Luyang’s several hundred thousand citizens…
Even Duge himself didn’t know how high his attributes were, but right now, with him at the center, not a single sound within two miles could escape his ears.
For Tong Shihong and Qiu Muqian to run outside the Peacekeeping Gang to scheme was almost the same as whispering right at his ear’s base; how could he possibly let his prey escape? He made a swift decision and chased after them.

Through various ways, Tong Shihong had assessed that Feng Qi’s strength was probably not inferior to his own, but witnessing Feng Qi’s speed now, it wasn’t just on par with him, it was far superior!
His complexion changed instantly.
“Feng Qi?” Seeing Feng Qi suddenly running over, Qiu Muqian stood frozen in place, unable to understand how they were exposed. They had only eaten a meal in Luyang City and listened to a story; even sending a message couldn’t be that fast!
“Miss Qiu, by bringing Sect Master Tong here, you have fulfilled your duty. Return to the Peacekeeping Gang and see the old master. He’s missed you after these days away,” Duge said to Qiu Muqian, casually pinning a false charge on her.
Qiu Muqian’s expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly explained, “Uncle Tong, don’t listen to him talking nonsense, I didn’t…”
“I know,” Tong Shihong interrupted her, looking at Duge as if facing a formidable enemy, “Feng Qi, what do you propose?”
“I would like to invite Sect Master Tong to join the Peacekeeping Alliance and uphold the martial worlds’ morals and righteousness together,” Duge said, clasping his hands together in greeting.
“And what if Sect Master Tong says no?” Tong Shihong asked.
“Then I will defeat Sect Master Tong and merge Divine Fist Gate into the Peacekeeping Gang to maintain the martial worlds’ morals and righteousness together,” Duge said with an indifferent smile.
“Arrogant,” Tong Shihong snorted coldly.
“Sect Master Tong, it is not that I am arrogant, but I am compelled to do this!” Duge replied, “Just now, I heard Sect Master Tong say that Feng Qi is the root cause of chaos. I cannot agree. After all, my actions are for the good of the entire martial community…”
“You heard it?” Tong Shihong looked shocked and glanced in the direction of the Peacekeeping Gang, “How is that possible?”
“Why would it be impossible? I am not human,” Duge said with a smile, looking at Tong Shihong, “You two were plotting right under my ears; how could I not hear it?”
Who knew your ears could hear for two miles?
Are you even human?
Fine!
You are a Heavenly Demon, not human!
Tong Shihong’s complexion turned even uglier. If he was 70% sure of getting away unscathed before, now it had dwindled to less than 30%…
At this point, he regretted his curiosity. He should never have personally gone after the Heavenly Demon. Upon hearing about such a strange thing, it would have been better to wait and see. Having been cautious his whole life, he never expected to stumble here.
“Feng, with such dedication to maintain justice for the people of the world, is still considered by Sect Master Tong to be the root of chaos. There are hundreds of people like me in the martial worlds, and when they grow stronger, will this world still be livable? Sect Master Tong, with Hua Mountain being one of the three sects and five schools, do you think there could be a Heavenly Demon lurking within your own sect?” Duge said, glancing at Tong Shihong.
“Considering the timing, the news about the incidents in Luyang City should have spread by now. What do you think, would the Heavenly Demon inside Divine Fist Gate, knowing what I have done, grow desperate and accelerate their steps to seize the gate?” Duge asked.
Tong Shihong felt a sudden tightness in his chest, but he feigned composure, “What’s the difference between you taking it and them? You’re all of the same ilk.”
“My nature is to maintain order. As long as the world is at peace, I am harmless, and Divine Fist Gate will still be yours. But I can’t guarantee what the other Heavenly Demons might do, like Gluttony—if pushed to desperation, they really do eat people,” Duge said, “Sect Master Tong, by using my hand to eliminate them and then concentrating your forces to get rid of me, peace will eventually be restored to the world. Why can’t you see the simplicity of it?”
…Tong Shihong was stunned, “Eliminate you?”
“Yes! My nature is maintenance. Heavenly Demons do not belong in this world and our existence will ultimately disrupt its operation. I am also a Heavenly Demon, so, in the end, eliminating myself to restore the world’s order is the true fulfillment of virtue,” Duge, looking seriously at the astonished Tong Shihong, said earnestly, “However, before that, no one can stop my resolve to maintain the world. Otherwise, I will destroy any deity or Buddha that stands in my way.”
Are you insane?
With the way you look, who would believe that in the end, you’d eliminate yourself?
Tong Shihong’s eyes twitched violently a few times as he looked at Wang San and Feng Zhong emerging from the Peacekeeping Gang. After weighing the pros and cons, he said to Duge, “Sect Leader Feng, fight me fairly. If you win, my Divine Fist Gate will join the Peacekeeping Alliance. If you lose, let me leave and deal with my sect’s affairs on my own. How about that?”
