Chapter 67: The most powerful force in the world
Du Ge didn't rush to leave after setting his future goals. His abilities came from his keyword attribute, and he couldn't afford to lose the basic foundation he maintained at any time.
Du Ge recruited the wandering knights who were watching the excitement on the mountain into the peacekeeping gang, promising them benefits and asking them to spread the news of the battle on Huashan, making more people aware of the danger and uncontrollability of the Heavenly Demon.
He also sent disciples from the Huashan Sect to establish a new patrol team, visiting the small sects controlled by the Huashan Sect and investigating whether they were hiding the Heavenly Demon. They also punished the villains around Huashan and promoted the concept of the peacekeeping gang to the public, further expanding their achievements.
As long as the territory he maintained was large enough, even if one place was destroyed, his attributes wouldn't drop too much.
In the battle on Huashan, many disciples of the Huashan Sect were injured by Du Ge.
However, Du Ge's noble behavior of maintaining peace won the support of most of the Huashan disciples. Their enthusiasm for working for Du Ge even surpassed Zong Gui.
The most important thing was that the quality of the Huashan disciples far exceeded the chaotic gang members of the Iron Palm Gang. Moreover, they had been tortured in the battle on Huashan, and their hatred for the Heavenly Demon had penetrated into their bones. Their tolerance for the Heavenly Demon was zero.
Du Ge didn't let go of any opportunity to backstab the players in the simulation field. He thoughtfully equipped this group of Huashan disciples with a set of experiences to deal with the Heavenly Demon.
There were scouts, long-range attackers, reinforcements, and assault troops...
In case they encountered someone like Tan Hongsheng who had unreasonable supernatural powers, not everyone would be trapped inside, and even the messenger wouldn't be able to escape.Tong Shihong was seriously injured and had to recuperate in the Huashan Sect.
However, he was worried that after the news of the Huashan Sect spread, disciples from the Divine Fist Sect would cause trouble in Luyang City and provoke Feng Qi. He immediately wrote a letter to the disciples of the Divine Fist Sect in Luyang City, detailing the events of the battle on Huashan and issuing the order to investigate the Heavenly Demon within their sect and maintain social stability.
Pain makes people grow.
Tong Shihong was completely scared by Feng Qi's torment and dared not cause any trouble at all.
...
Everything was arranged properly.
Du Ge and the other two set off again, heading to Mount Tai. However, this time, they were accompanied by Zong Gui, the sect leader of the Huashan Sect.
After the battle on Huashan, the attributes of Du Ge and the other two had clearly grown, and they became more confident about the journey ahead.
Zong Gui spared no effort in promoting Feng Qi as the leader of the martial world. Whatever Du Ge needed, he provided without hesitation.
As a result, the Golden Glow Sword of the sect leader became Du Ge's new weapon, and he also obtained his own internal martial arts technique, the "Great Tranquil Heart Technique" of the Huashan Sect.
The improvement of his attributes changed Du Ge's aptitude. Practicing the "Great Tranquil Heart Technique" was like making rapid progress in a day. However, life was strange like that. Although he had the martial arts technique, he didn't have time to practice it. Du Ge had to use all his time to travel and integrate the forces of the martial world.
But at this time, Du Ge wasn't so focused on martial arts anymore because he found that as long as his attributes were high enough, lightness skill didn't play a big role in battle.
Most people couldn't fly when they encountered him, and they were stabbed from behind by him.
Even if someone had good lightness skill and could jump half a meter high, the sword that stabbed their back might hit their buttocks, which was not much better than instant death.
...
Luyang City was located in the middle of several sects.
It took two days to travel from Luyang City to Huashan, and it took three to four days to travel from Huashan to Mount Tai.
With the help of the wandering knights, the speed of information dissemination was much faster than Du Ge had imagined.
In just a few days, the ordeal of the Huashan Sect had spread throughout the Three Rivers and Five Lakes, and quickly radiated outward, causing a huge stir in the martial world.
The Heavenly Demon was not the most shocking thing to them. What shocked them was that the mighty Huashan Sect, with the assistance of the Heavenly Demon, was actually defeated by Feng Qi and his two companions, and was forced to join the peacekeeping alliance.
This terrifying fact made all the sects have to reevaluate Feng Qi's personal strength and their attitude towards the Heavenly Demon.
Just as Du Ge believed, whoever had a strong fist in the martial world had the right to speak.
Du Ge demanded that the major sects thoroughly investigate the Heavenly Demon within their sects. Although these sects were angry, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After all, the Huashan Sect's example was there.
Feng Qi and his two companions could challenge the Huashan Sect, and now they had the assistance of the Huashan Sect and the Divine Fist Sect. They were even more invincible. Individual sects were simply no match for them.
Of course, no one believed that Feng Qi was doing it to maintain peace in the world. They preferred to think that he was using the Heavenly Demon as an excuse to swallow their sects or to use their hands to eliminate the Heavenly Demon and ultimately establish his dominance.
An invitation letter to elect the leader of the martial world was enough to explain everything.
In any aspect, it was beneficial to Feng Qi's peacekeeping gang.
Perhaps the remaining sects could join forces and perhaps they were qualified to fight against the peacekeeping gang.
But Feng Qi didn't give them time to unite.
In the past, major events in the martial world often required several months of preheating, communication, arrangements for personnel and locations, and so on.
But Feng Qi only gave them seven days.
Just after conquering Huashan, it was estimated that they hadn't even settled down in Huashan before they went out looking for trouble again.
In such a short time, the news of the Huashan Sect couldn't spread far. How could they unite the other sects? Moreover, because of Bai Xiaosheng's letter, many experts within the sects had been sent out...
For a while, the sects surrounding Luyang City were all worried and had to make a choice between joining the peacekeeping gang and using the Heavenly Demon to resist the peacekeeping gang.
The Taishan Sect was the first to act.
Then, when Du Ge and the others arrived at Mount Tai, they saw this scene: Qin Wenzheng, the sect leader of the Taishan Sect, led the elite disciples of the sect to warmly welcome Feng Qi and his two companions. They immediately joined the peacekeeping alliance and presented three Heavenly Demon corpses as a gift.
Qin Wenzheng made the most correct choice from the bottom of his heart.
This was inevitable.Because Qin Wenzheng received information faster and more accurately than others.
In Feng Zhong's letter to the Taishan Sect, he mentioned that the nameless ancestor of the Taishan Sect had fallen on Huashan, leaving behind the "Returning Bird Sword Technique", which was picked up by the first disciple of the Huashan Sect.
Upon receiving the letter, Qin Wenzheng immediately sent an elder from his sect to secretly investigate Huashan to verify the news. However, they found no trace of the secret manual, but the elder of the Taishan Sect witnessed Feng Qi's brutal actions and the helpless situation of the Huashan Sect.
So.
The elder of the Taishan Sect was terrified. He didn't even bother to look for the secret manual and ran back to Taishan overnight to discuss countermeasures with the Sect Leader.
The strength of the Taishan Sect was similar to that of the Huashan Sect. For the sake of a few Heavenly Demons within the sect, it was not worth risking the future of the Taishan Sect.
After all, Feng Qi's Peacekeeping Gang was relatively mild, and the other Heavenly Demons were unpredictable. Rather than waiting for these unfamiliar Heavenly Demons to grow stronger and stab them in the back, it was better to follow Feng Qi.
At least for now, Feng Qi only cared about other Heavenly Demons and didn't seem too eager for power. Moreover, those under Feng Qi were all old acquaintances. If anything happened, they could discuss it together.
At worst, they could restrain the disciples within the sect from committing evil deeds.
After weighing the pros and cons.
The high-ranking members of the Taishan Sect decisively killed the three Heavenly Demons who were excited about their association with the Taishan Sect and were dreaming of taking down Feng Qi and inheriting their attributes. They then pledged their allegiance to the Peacekeeping Gang.
The keywords of the three Heavenly Demons were said to be strength, honesty, and loyalty, but what the real keywords were, no one could verify since they were dead. It wasn't that important anymore.
......
The news of the Taishan Sect's surrender, without any casualties, quickly triggered a chain reaction.
Following closely was the Emei Sect. They were even more proactive. After killing a few Heavenly Demons within their sect, they swept through the towns near the Emei Sect and found two more Heavenly Demons to hand over. Before Du Ge and his party could reach Emei, they publicly announced their support for Feng Qi's peacekeeping cause and joined the Peacekeeping Alliance.
From then on.
The Peacekeeping Alliance had the Huashan, Divine Fist Sect, Taishan, and Emei, four top-tier sects, and instantly became the most powerful force in the world.
The pressure was on the Beggar's Sect.
The Beggar's Sect was the last power around Luyang City. If they could take down the Beggar's Sect, Du Ge's Peacekeeping Gang would have created a stronghold centered around Luyang City, radiating out to five gangs, like an iron bucket.
The sects that joined the Peacekeeping Gang eradicated the Heavenly Demons within their sects. The patrol teams formed by the disciples of the sects searched for Heavenly Demons hidden all over the world, which directly led to a further decrease in the number of remaining players in the Simulation Field.
In just seven or eight days, there were less than 130 people left.
