Chapter 45: Call a deer a horse
"Feng Qi, what do you want to do?"
"Do you want to provoke the Three Gates and Five Sects?"
"Outrageous."
"Criminal!"
...
Gao Yong and the others stood up and questioned Du Ge.
Their faces didn't look good. No one expected Feng Qi to be so audacious.
Amidst their voices, Wang San's sinister voice sounded behind He Yuan'an: "Big brother, I love you, look back at me!"
Fear struck He Yuan'an's heart. It felt as if there was an unknown monster behind him. He instinctively turned around, assuming a defensive posture. Just as he turned around, a gust of wind came from behind. By the time he remembered Feng Qi, it was too late.
A sharp pain pierced his chest as a half-bright sword stabbed through. He Yuan'an's strength receded like a tide, and his clear vision gradually blurred. He struggled to turn his head back and said with difficulty, "Feng Qi, you..."Before he could finish his words, his head tilted, and his life had already left him.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
When Gao Yong and the others reacted, He Yuan'an had already collapsed on the ground, and a pool of blood flowed out from under him. Du Ge stood behind him, holding a blood-stained dagger, resembling a demon.
Du Ge glanced at He Yuan'an beneath him, sighed, and lamented, "Even with such skills, he learned to do evil. It's not a pity that he died."
Gao Yong and the others looked at Du Ge standing there, their faces turning pale, and no one dared to move.
It has to be said that Feng Qi's speed just now was too fast. No one was confident that they could withstand his attack.
The strength of the Heavenly Demon would change according to his attributes. It was simply deceiving!
No one in Luyang City believed in his words of upholding justice anymore. Why didn't his skills weaken at all?
Two people from the Divine Fist Sect arrived, and He Yuan'an was still accompanied by an official. He looked at He Yuan'an lying in a pool of blood, as if he had just come to his senses. His face turned pale, and he pointed at Du Ge, stuttering, "Officer He, Feng Qi, do you dare to kill Officer He? Aren't you afraid of the Divine Fist Sect's revenge?"
"He Yuan'an impersonated the Peacekeeping Gang, robbed the people's money, and destroyed the confidence that I, Feng Qi, had painstakingly built for the people. He committed such evil deeds, why wouldn't I dare to kill him?" Du Ge turned his head and looked at him, "To uphold justice in the martial world, I, Feng Qi, am not afraid of the Divine Fist Sect. I believe that the Divine Fist Sect is one of the leaders of the righteous sects in the martial world. Master Tong, the Master of the Divine Fist Sect, will also applaud my actions when he learns that such an evil person has appeared in the sect."
"You... you're slandering us." The official interrupted him, "Everyone knows that Qiu Feipeng and the others were the ones who did last night's incident..."
"No more sophistry." Du Ge interrupted him, sneering, "What about the Peacekeeping Gang's clothes that were found in your residence? Don't tell me that the Divine Fist Sect intends to merge with the Peacekeeping Gang?"
"This... this is clearly you framing us. Does your Peacekeeping Gang need these clothes?" The official trembled with anger, "The incident that happened at four in the morning, you didn't even leave your door. How could you find the culprit so quickly?"
Qiu Feipeng was indeed hiding in the Divine Fist Sect.
In the morning, Du Ge heard from Liu Cheng that the Master of the Divine Fist Sect, Tong Hong'an, was on good terms with Qiu Yuanlang. He wondered if Qiu Feipeng and the others were hiding in the Divine Fist Sect's residence, and he actually guessed it right.
But what Du Ge wanted was the effect of upholding justice. The truth didn't really matter to him. He wasn't Conan.
Just like how the other party used such a clumsy plan to frame him.
In this world, fists determined everything. If he didn't take advantage of his attributes being at their highest point and cut through the mess, he would only gradually fall into a vicious cycle. By then, he would probably be too powerless to do anything.
Fight fire with fire?
Du Ge wouldn't do such a foolish thing of being led by the enemy.
As for the consequences of offending the Three Gates and Five Sects?
If he couldn't even pass this current hurdle, what future would there be?
"Nothing more to say?" the official said, "You even claimed that the Beggar's Sect and Taishan Sect found these clothes in our residence. Your framing methods are too childish. Just wait for the retaliation from the Six Major Sects!"
Gao Yong and Ding Wanjie's faces changed at the same time, cursing the fool.
"Is that so?" Du Ge looked at Gao Yong and Ding Wanjie, and the dagger in his palm faintly pointed at their chests. He smiled and asked, "Elder Gao, Elder Ding, were these Peacekeeping Gang's clothes taken from the Divine Fist Sect's residence by us?"
The face of the Divine Fist Sect's official changed immediately, and he hurriedly said, "Two officials, there are so many of us. Aren't you afraid of one Feng Qi?"
"Elder Ding, yesterday many people from Luyang City accused the Beggar's Sect of stealing and trafficking, committing evil deeds that were no less than the Iron Palm Gang. I thought that the Beggar's Sect is ultimately a member of the Peacekeeping Alliance, so I gave Elder Ding face and wanted him to handle the evildoers within the sect and give the victims justice." Du Ge looked at Ding Wanjie, the Elder of the Beggar's Sect, and said, "If Elder Ding himself is not righteous and cannot handle these matters well, then I, Feng Qi, will have to do it for the Beggar's Sect and uphold its reputation."
Damn it!
When did I become a member of the Peacekeeping Alliance?
Looking at Du Ge's eyes that were ready to uphold justice at any moment.
Ding Wanjie's throat went dry. He glanced at the old beggar beside him, who was already dumbfounded, and regretted coming to see this joke. Now, he had completely turned himself into a joke.
"Elder Ding."
"Elder Ding?"
The Divine Fist Sect's official and Du Ge almost spoke at the same time.
"Elder Ding, Feng Qi first blamed the Divine Fist Sect and then slandered the Beggar's Sect. It's obvious that he wants to divide and conquer us. Gentlemen, let's fight him!" The Divine Fist Sect's official anxiously broke out in a cold sweat, desperately seeking an ally.
"Shut up." Ding Wanjie looked at Du Ge, his gaze gradually turning cold. He gritted his teeth and said, "What Feng Gang Leader said is correct. These clothes were indeed found by us from the Divine Fist Sect's residence. Feng Gang Leader is upholding the righteousness of the martial world, while you scoundrels are causing trouble in between. You are truly unworthy of being called human. I, Ding, am ashamed to be associated with you!"
After speaking, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, not daring to look at the Divine Fist Sect's deputy principal.
This time, he had truly lost all face."Elder Ding?" The deputy of the Divine Fist Sect felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Ding Wanjie, then at Gao Yong, somewhat at a loss. He hadn't expected such an answer.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Du Ge chuckled, picking up a piece of clothing from the Peacekeeping gang from the ground. He dabbed it on He Yuan'an's corpse, staining it with blood. "The clothes still bear the bloodstains from your assault on the citizens of Luyang City yesterday. Now we have both the human and material evidence. The evidence is as solid as a mountain. What else do you have to say?"
Damn it!
The council hall once again fell into an eerie silence.
Liu Cheng's eyes bulged out in shock. In the morning, when he heard Du Ge's plan, he thought Du Ge was audacious, but he had no idea that Du Ge would be this bold.
This was blatantly rubbing the faces of the Three Gates and Five Sects in the dirt!
The members of the Taishan Sect, including Gao Yong, glared at Feng Qi, their chests heaving with rage.
This was too insulting.
Before, at least they had made up an excuse, but now they weren't even bothering to cover it up!
How could there be such a villain in the world?
And yet, this guy kept claiming to maintain peace?
But He Yuan'an's corpse was still lying there, and Du Ge, with a smile in his eyes, seemed to be waiting for them to charge at him.
The principal officials hesitated for a long time, but no one dared to confront Feng Qi...
At this point, charging at him would be suicide!
Looking at Feng Qi's style, once they were dead, he would definitely throw a bucket of dirty water on them...
...
Wang San and Feng Zhong exchanged glances, looking at Du Ge standing in front of them, admiration almost pouring out of their eyes.
Doing evil things as if it were the most natural thing in the world, brazenly, and even cloaking it in a beautiful guise.
This audacity, this domineering attitude, this shamelessness...
If he doesn't succeed, who will?
Compared to Feng Qi, they were indeed far behind!
However, Feng Qi's performance also confirmed for them that his keyword was definitely not "maintenance".
If "maintenance" was like Feng Qi, they would eat the dictionary.
...
Du Ge asked with a smile, "Daoist Priest Gao, don't you agree?"
"Yes." Gao Yong looked at Du Ge, the corners of his eyes twitching violently. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Du Ge turned to the deputy principal of the Divine Fist Sect and asked.
"I have nothing to say." Looking around at the familiar strangers, the deputy principal gave up struggling, glaring fiercely at Du Ge. "Feng Qi, your reckless actions will bring retribution. The Divine Fist Sect will not let you go..."
"I was born to maintain peace. For the sake of upholding justice in my heart, I'm not even afraid of death, let alone retribution?" Du Ge raised an eyebrow, shook his head at him, and said righteously, "The pure will remain pure, and the impure will remain impure. I spare your life so that you can see how I will cleanse the filthy martial arts world, just like cleansing this Iron Blood Gang.
I firmly believe that one day, fairness and justice will outweigh fists, and people will no longer worry about being robbed by the strong at night. Practicing martial arts is for strengthening the body, not for the strong to bully the weak..."
