As a sect with a heritage of hundreds of years, Zong Gui was originally confident when it came to Feng Qi going up the mountain.

But Tong Shihong sent a message and said that Feng Qi and the other two were extremely dangerous, which made him nervous and even regret letting the law enforcement elders go out.

These past two days, he verified the identities of Tan Hongsheng and Gao Hongqiao.

When Tan Hongsheng started practicing, the disciples around him would unconsciously be influenced by him and become more diligent. Even he couldn’t help but draw his sword and dance a few times, feeling a strange desire not to be surpassed by him.

Gao Hongqiao demonstrated his skill of reaching into a pot of boiling oil to retrieve a copper coin. Zong Gui watched as his hand was burned by the boiling oil, but he remained fearless and resolutely stirred the pot, successfully retrieving the coin. Then, his arm, which was almost cooked, quickly returned to normal.

The pot was prepared by him, so there was no trick of adding vinegar to the bottom of the pot…

All these supernatural abilities were enough to prove that the two of them were undoubtedly Heavenly Demons.

Gao Hongqiao was a reckless man, staying behind to charge into battle for Huashan. But Tan Hongsheng could truly benefit Huashan. After all, with him leading the way, all the disciples of Huashan Sect would imitate him. In due time, how many experts would emerge within the sect!

The prosperity of a sect relies on inheritance and succession!

Zong Gui still had some fear of the Heavenly Demons, but he couldn’t deny that he had developed a fondness for them. He only wanted to find a way to control them and make them wholeheartedly serve Huashan.

Of course.

The most urgent matter now was dealing with Feng Qi.

After all.

According to Tong Shihong, Feng Qi and the other two were quite troublesome.

Moreover, the Peacekeeping Gang had already spread the news of inviting Huashan Sect to join the peacekeeping alliance. If something went wrong, Huashan Sect would lose face.

Looking at the two Heavenly Demons in front of him, Zong Gui asked, “Feng Qi is about to come up the mountain. They each have their own unique abilities. What special supernatural powers do you two have that can be used in this battle?”

Gao Hongqiao said, “Sect Leader, in battle, as long as I don’t retreat, my martial power will double and my recovery speed will increase. In this battle with Feng Qi, I will charge to the front…”

“Your martial skills are only on par with the second-generation disciples. Feng Qi was able to defeat Master Tong, so if you charge forward, you will only be throwing your life away.” Zong Gui frowned, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. “When dealing with experts, the most important thing is coordination in formation. You don’t need to recklessly charge forward.”

“Sect Leader, I will follow your arrangements.” Gao Hongqiao said, “But I will prove my strength to you.”

“What about you?” Zong Gui looked at Tan Hongsheng and asked.

“Sect Leader knows that the power of example is infinite.” Tan Hongsheng smiled. “When I lead by example, I will be full of infectious energy, inspiring those around me to imitate me.”

“What’s the use of that?” Zong Gui asked.

“Imitating not only works on our own people, but can also influence the enemy.” Tan Hongsheng said.

“…” Zong Gui suddenly froze, inexplicably reminded of the scene where Tan Hongsheng was practicing and he unconsciously danced with his sword. His expression suddenly became unpleasant, secretly thinking that indeed, Heavenly Demons like this should not exist in the world. They are not a good thing.

Tan Hongsheng saw through Zong Gui’s thoughts and cursed Du Ge, saying, “Sect Leader, I am different from Feng Qi. He pretends to maintain order, but in reality, he causes chaos and deception. He is the most uncontrollable Heavenly Demon. But my example is purely supportive. Even if I can influence others, I must lead by example and cannot cause any harm.”

Gao Hongqiao said, “My supernatural power is individual. If used well, I am like a knife in the Sect Leader’s hands. In the hands of an incompetent person, a knife may harm oneself, but is the Sect Leader an incompetent person? The vast Huashan Sect is well managed under the Sect Leader’s control. Is the Sect Leader afraid that he can’t control the two of us?”

Tan Hongsheng said, “Sect Leader, you should be grateful that we are in Huashan. If we were in another sect and the Sect Leader encountered us, how would he deal with it? For example, this time Feng Qi came to our door. They each have their own supernatural powers. Sect Leader, just because we are powerful, you can’t abandon us!”

Gao Hongqiao said, “Sect Leader, although our martial power may not be as strong as Feng Qi’s, if used as a surprise attack, Huashan Sect’s chances of winning will increase…”

The two of them analyzed the pros and cons for Zong Gui.

Zong Gui looked at them, remained silent for a moment, and said, “Alright, the two of you wait for the opportunity to act, but you must listen to my orders.”

Tan Hongsheng and Gao Hongqiao glanced at each other. Tan Hongsheng said, “Sect Leader, rest assured, Feng Qi is our common enemy. We want to eliminate all the Heavenly Demons just as much as you do. As long as we can personally get rid of Feng Qi, you can take action against us immediately, and we will accept it.”

Gao Hongqiao said, “There is one more thing to remember. Heavenly Demons have extremely strong regenerative abilities. If we deal with them, it’s best to cut off their heads or pierce their hearts. We can’t leave them any chance to recover…”

…

In front of the mountain gate of Huashan Sect, hundreds of disciples stood in formation, holding long swords.

Du Ge clearly sensed that there were at least a hundred archers behind the mountain gate, aiming at them, specifically aiming at Wang San.

Two hundred meters away.

Du Ge stopped and shouted loudly, “Master Zong, Feng Qi has come with sincerity, for the sake of justice in the martial world, inviting Huashan Sect to join the peacekeeping alliance. But Master, you respond with weapons. Is this how Huashan treats its guests?”

Zong Gui stood in front of the mountain gate, channeling his internal energy and responded, “Feng Qi, you use the name of peacekeeping, but you cause trouble in the world, forcibly seizing Iron Palm Gang’s property, using force to coerce Master Tong into joining the peacekeeping gang, disrupting the martial world. Today, I, Zong Gui, will seek justice for the martial world that you have oppressed and slay this demon on the peak of Huashan.””Sect Leader Zong, the deeds I have done have been applauded by the people of Luyang City. People from other places can’t wait for the Peacekeeping Sect to expand to their territories, to uphold justice for them. Why is it that in Sect Leader Zong’s mouth, I have become a villain?” Du Ge frowned, “The Huashan Sect is a leader in the Martial World, Sect Leader Zong doesn’t seem like a confused person, does he?”

“Smooth talker.” Zong Gui snorted coldly, “Your actions, Master Tong has already made it clear to me…”

Puff!

Du Ge turned around and launched a sudden backstab, his long sword piercing through Tong Shihong’s back and out through his chest.

Tong Shihong looked down at the sword tip piercing through him, his eyes full of disbelief. He was certain that Feng Qi would keep him as a symbol for the Peacekeeping Sect and wouldn’t dare to kill him, so he had been provoking Feng Qi without any fear.

He didn’t expect to be suddenly backstabbed when they reached the destination.

What’s going on?

Why did he suddenly decide to kill him?

Wasn’t he afraid that killing him would lead to endless battles with other sects?

“Master Tong, I treated you with kindness, why did you try to tarnish the reputation of my Peacekeeping Sect?” Du Ge pulled out his long sword, took a step back, and looked at the staggering Tong Shihong who had lost his fighting power, his face full of anger, “Can’t you stand to see peace in the Martial World? Have I misjudged you?”

Tong Shihong pressed a few points on his chest to stop the gushing blood, sat down cross-legged and dared not move, “Feng Qi, it was clearly you who said that in the end, you would even protect yourself to death, and didn’t mind me discussing with Sect Leader Zong how to deal with you, you… you… you treacherous villain, who in the Martial World would still trust your Peacekeeping Sect…”

“Master Tong, I did say that, but the premise was to eliminate all the Heavenly Demons in the world.” Du Ge said solemnly, “The Heavenly Demon is still around, the Martial World is unstable, and you took the opportunity to cause trouble. You’re either stupid or evil. For the sake of the great cause of peacekeeping, I must wake you up, you confused fool.”

After speaking, he looked at Zong Gui again and said loudly, “I have punished the villain who tried to sow discord and almost caused us to cross swords. I have shown Sect Leader Zong our sincerity and determination to maintain peace and stability. Next, we can officially discuss the matter of the Huashan Sect joining the Peacekeeping Alliance. To be honest, Principal Official Nie Nong from your sect has already agreed to join the Peacekeeping Alliance along with the Beggar’s Sect, Emei and other sects. I even have the contracts they signed…”
