Did the gang's name change in this short time?

Are you sure this is a surprise for the gang leader, not digging up his ancestral grave?

The two hall masters exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Han Zuo gave Liu Cheng a look.

Liu Cheng reluctantly said, "Seventh Master, what you're saying is a big deal. We can't make the decision. Let's wait until the gang leader wakes up!"

"Hall Master Liu, don't you want Old Qiu to see the rapid changes of the Iron Palm Sect when he wakes up? Before Old Qiu fell unconscious, he agreed to cooperate with me." Du Ge frowned, "Or are you going to disobey the gang leader's orders?"

Go to hell with your rapid changes. You're taking a chicken feather as a command token, who do you think you are?

Do you really think you can do whatever you want by holding the gang leader hostage?

Liu Cheng said coldly, "Seventh Master, the gang leader did agree to cooperate with you, but he didn't issue any specific orders. We are people of the Iron Palm Sect, not subordinates of Seventh Master. Unless the gang leader personally gives us an order, we cannot execute yours."

"You want Old Qiu to personally give the order?" Du Ge asked.

"Yes, we only listen to the gang leader." The two hall masters nodded simultaneously.

"It was my oversight." Du Ge smiled apologetically, "I forgot that my Grand Elder was given by the Feng Family. It's alright, please wait for me."

Under the confused gazes of Han and Liu, Du Ge bent down and put his ear close to Qiu Yuanlang's mouth, nodding gently.

A moment later.

Du Ge raised his head and said to the two as if it were natural, "Alright, go execute the order I just gave! Old Qiu just appointed me as the Grand Elder of the Iron Palm Sect, with the same authority as him, and I can command everything in the Iron Palm Sect."

The doctor's hand trembled, almost poking his finger into Qiu Yuanlang's wound.

How could such a shameless person exist in this world? Han and Liu were both stunned. Was he treating them as fools, or as blind?

Wang San held his breath, feeling like he had gained new knowledge.

Han Zuo's face turned red, and he roared, "Feng Qi, you're talking nonsense! The gang leader hasn't woken up at all."

Du Ge nodded affirmatively, "He has. He just woke up for a short while. Wang San, did he wake up?"

Wang San cooperated perfectly, his expressionless face saying, "He did. I saw his eyeballs move, and his mouth moved too. The doctor's medical skills are very high."

What does that have to do with me?

The doctor's hand trembled again. At this moment, he wished he were deaf and blind. Treating patients was too torturous.

Fortunately, Han and Liu wouldn't make things difficult for a doctor.

Han Zuo's eyes twitched violently, and he cursed, "Feng Qi, have you no shame? Let alone the gang leader not being awake, even if he were, he couldn't have said so much in such a short instant..."

"Hall Master Han, your speaking speed would also be very fast if a long sword was at your neck." Du Ge said seriously nonsensically, adjusting the angle of the sword.

Han Zuo's voice abruptly stopped.

Du Ge narrowed his eyes, "So, do you understand? If you understand, then do as I say!"

Liu Cheng looked at Du Ge, then suddenly took a step forward and said, "You don't dare to kill the gang leader. If you kill him, you won't survive either..."

"Liu Cheng, are you trying to usurp the throne?" Du Ge's sword pressed down slightly, and a red mark instantly appeared on Qiu Yuanlang's neck. He said urgently.

Liu Cheng stopped in his tracks.

Du Ge looked at the two and smiled, "Hall Master Liu, stay and tell me about the main personnel composition of the Iron Palm Sect. Hall Master Han, go execute the order I just gave. Start with the Iron Palm Sect headquarters. Find a tailor to custom-make unified gang uniforms, with 'Wei' on the front and 'He' on the back. Find a carpenter to change the sign. Tomorrow morning, I want to see the sign of the Wei He Gang hanging above the entrance. When you see the unified gang uniforms, the maggots can be dug out during the day. Oh, and remember to give the craftsmen triple pay for disturbing them in the middle of the night..."

Han Zuo looked at Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng nodded at him, "Go!"

Han Zuo glared fiercely at Du Ge and turned to leave.

"Hall Master Han, don't pay lip service." Du Ge's voice echoed behind him, "As soon as dawn breaks, I will take the gang leader to inspect the completion of the work."

Han Zuo realized what Du Ge was planning, his body trembled violently, he turned around abruptly, his eyes red, "Feng Qi, don't go too far. How could the gang leader possibly inspect in that condition?"

Du Ge smiled, "I believe in the doctor's skills. Besides, I've heard that people who are injured need to move more and get more sun, which helps with recovery."

Benevolent physician.

The doctor knew he couldn't remain silent. He looked up at Du Ge, "Seventh Master, the gang leader is seriously injured and needs rest. Moving him at this time could worsen his injuries."

"Did you hear that?" Du Ge glared at Han Zuo, "If you heard it, then do your job well and let the gang leader worry less. Otherwise, if the gang leader's injuries worsen, it will all be your fault."

"..." Han Zuo glared fiercely at Du Ge and strode away.

A brief silence.

Liu Cheng suddenly asked, "Feng Qi, why are you doing this? Is it worth it for a small Feng Family?"

"The Feng Family is a thing of the past." Du Ge said, "I've said it countless times, everything I do is for the world, for the righteous way of the martial arts world, and for peace in the martial arts world."

Liu Cheng asked, "Are you really a Celestial Demon?"

Du Ge replied, "Genuine article. If it were a normal person, they wouldn't do things like I do."

You're even proud of it?

Liu Cheng's brow twitched, "Are there many Celestial Demons like you?"

"There must be hundreds of them!" Du Ge sighed mournfully. "As a Celestial Demon whose duty is Maintenance/Protect, a slight move from me can throw the Iron Palm Sect into disarray. You can imagine how chaotic this world will become if other Celestial Demons are allowed to grow."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang San beside him.

"..." Wang San.

"..." Liu Cheng.

"That's why I'm so impatient. They must be nipped in the bud to eliminate all hidden dangers; they cannot be allowed to grow!" Du Ge said righteously.

"You'll become a target of public criticism," Liu Cheng said, taking a deep breath.

"For justice, for peace, I can even risk my life, so why should I fear becoming a target of public criticism?" Du Ge smiled faintly.

"Madman," Liu Cheng muttered, confirming Du Ge's identity as a Celestial Demon.

"That's because you don't understand Celestial Demons. Once you do, you'll be as eager to get rid of them as you are to get rid of me," Du Ge said mournfully. "Hall Master Liu, let's not discuss these meaningless things. You humans have a saying: judge by actions, not intentions; with intentions, no one is good. You can't tell good from bad by appearance. But Celestial Demons are rare individuals who are consistent in heart and action; their nature is who they are. If you spend more time with me, you'll find I'm a good person. At critical moments, I'll risk my life to protect you, just as I protected the Feng Family."

The Feng Family was already led to ruin by your Maintenance/Protect!

The Iron Palm Sect will be next.

Liu Cheng grumbled inwardly, but agreed wholeheartedly with Feng Qi's assessment of Celestial Demons. He even began to consider if he could use a Celestial Demon to deal with another Celestial Demon.

"Hall Master Liu, tell me about the composition of the Iron Palm Sect!" Du Ge said. "Only by understanding our personnel deployment can I proceed with the next course of action. We don't have much time..."

Liu Cheng glanced at Du Ge, then at Qiu Yuanlang beneath his sword, and said, "Below the Iron Palm Sect's leader are over three thousand members, organized into ten halls. They are the Azure Dragon Hall, led by Hall Master Qiu Feilong; the White Tiger Hall, led by Hall Master Qiu Feihu; the Vermilion Bird Hall, led by Hall Master Qiu Muqian; the Black Tortoise Hall, led by Hall Master Han Zuo; the Azure Dragon Hall, led by Hall Master Qiu Feipeng; the Green Wood Hall, led by Hall Master Yan Wu..."
