Tongue of Right and Wrong

Du Ge was already ranked first in the simulated arena. Back then, at Xingyu Tower, he was the first to notice Iron Palm Sect's night raid. Later, he backstabbed the Feng Family, forcefully seized the Iron Palm Sect, and single-handedly maintained Luyang City's public morale and justice. His attributes must have increased significantly.

Now, his senses were sharp. Even with his eyes closed, he could discern his surroundings by sound. On Earth, he could easily pass as a minor superhero.

People from the Beggar's Sect, Taishan, and other sects had their own distinctive traits.

He would have to deal with them sooner or later. Du Ge had always paid attention to them, blending into the crowd. He heard their arrangements clearly, and they were as expected.

What surprised him was that amidst the cacophony, he actually heard Feng Zhong muttering to himself.

"Good heavens!"

He backstabbed me but didn't run? He dared to come watch the show?

It's like criminals love to return to the scene of the crime to admire their handiwork, right!

Watching is one thing. If you stayed hidden and quiet, I might not have found you. But you're talking to yourself? You're really a chatterbox!

Planning to reap the benefits of others' labor?

Dream on!

Du Ge subtly glanced towards Feng Zhong's location and immediately recognized him, wearing a bamboo hat.

But?

Looking at the citizens rushing forward, clamoring about injustice, the Flying Dragon Guards frantically apprehending suspects, and then seeing Qiu Feilong and the others staring intently at him...

Du Ge hesitated. The situation was too complicated.

If he let Qiu Yuanlang go, the hard-won stable situation might collapse...

But if he didn't capture Feng Zhong, who knew when he would appear next?

Judging by his tone, he seemed to have awakened some kind of advanced skill.

Capture him!

In just a moment, Du Ge made his decision. There wouldn't be another chance like this. Whether his keyword could be used or not, letting the tiger return to the mountain would lead to endless trouble.

Du Ge looked at Wang San, who was still dissecting the corpse, searching Liu Heigou's heart for any trace of himself. He called out, "Wang San, come over and interrogate the prisoner for me. I need to find a place to relieve myself."

Qiu Feilong, Liu Cheng, and the others held their breath. The opportunity had arrived.

Wang San didn't suspect anything. Carrying the blood-stained knife and a still-beating heart in one hand, he walked over wordlessly to take Du Ge's place.

He placed the knife against Qiu Yuanlang's throat, then carefully set the heart on the table. "My little darling, you stay here for a while. I'll be back to accompany you..."

Du Ge smiled at Qiu Feilong and the others, slowly withdrawing his sword from Qiu Yuanlang's neck. He warned, "Don't make any rash moves. Wang San's hand isn't as precise as mine, but he's ruthless. If you provoke him, the old sect leader's head, fingers, or something might become his collection."

Wang San gave a sinister smile and licked his lips in agreement.

"Everyone, please calm down. If you have any grievances, tell them to the lord above. He looks fearsome, but he has a kind heart. His thunderous methods are only aimed at the wicked. He is the Dharma Protector Vajra of my Peacekeeping Gang." Du Ge soothed the agitated citizens in a gentle tone as he walked towards the edge of the crowd.

Qiu Feilong gave Liu Cheng a look. Liu Cheng and a few incense masters silently blended into the Peacekeeping Gang's ranks.

Du Ge's "eyes in the back of his head" clearly saw their movements. He sneered dismissively and casually moved towards Feng Zhong's direction.

Du Ge didn't walk straight towards him. Feng Zhong calmly continued to watch the commotion. Wang San's attention was diverted by a group of people filing complaints and didn't notice Liu Cheng and the others' movements. However, Du Ge saw everything clearly. From Feng Zhong's actions, he deduced what his keyword was.

Logically, "Maintenance/Protect" was a support-type keyword. Its advanced skill shouldn't be suitable for combat. Yet, he managed to capture Qiu Yuanlang single-handedly. This was abnormal.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles.

Du Ge didn't alert Feng Zhong and walked directly out of the crowd. Some citizens' gazes followed him. Du Ge turned back and smiled, "Do you want to watch the Celestial Demon pee too?"

"No, no."

"Lord Celestial Demon, please go ahead and pee. Pee for a long life, pee for the heavens to crack and the earth to shatter..."

"Pretty young wives can watch. Watching the Celestial Demon will bring you a healthy baby boy."

Perhaps it was Du Ge's gentle tone, or perhaps he stood on the opposite side of the Iron Palm Sect. The citizens became much bolder when facing him, not treating him like the Celestial Demon at all. They bantered and joked.

But jokes aside, most people turned their bodies back.

Feng Zhong also turned his head back. He had met Du Ge before. At such close range, he was afraid of being recognized by Feng Qi.

But the moment he turned around.

A gust of wind blew from behind him. He had no time to react before his back of the neck was grabbed, followed by a cold blade pressed against his throat. Feng Qi's voice rang out, "Got you."

Feng Zhong's heart chilled, and he closed his eyes in pain.

It's over!

This guy's keyword is definitely not "Maintenance/Protect." "Maintenance/Protect" wouldn't have such a sharp offensive skill.

Whoosh!

The crowd parted.

Liu Cheng and the others had planned to ambush Du Ge while he was relieving himself. Instead, they witnessed Feng Qi ambushing someone.

The speed Feng Qi displayed in an instant made their expressions change.

Their vision blurred, and Du Ge was already right behind the man. Could even the fastest Qinggong in the martial arts world be this fast?

At this moment, they suddenly understood why their leader, despite his excellent martial arts, couldn't evade Feng Qi's surprise attack!

At such close range and with such speed, perhaps only Martial Saint Qiao He could dodge it!

With such speed, could they really ambush Feng Qi?

It would be more like sending themselves to their deaths…

Du Ge didn't kill him immediately, and a sliver of hope rose in Feng Zhong's heart. He quickly said, "Seventh Brother, let's talk. You need help, right? I can join too. I promise I'll be more honest than Wang San. The three of us united, and we can definitely eliminate everyone else…"

"What's your keyword?" Du Ge asked.

"Manipulate, my keyword is Manipulate." Feng Zhong had witnessed Feng Qi's methods against Wang San in Xingyu Tower, and he had betrayed Feng Qi before. To survive, he lowered his voice and stated his keyword plainly and decisively, afraid Du Ge wouldn't believe him. He even proactively explained, "I've awakened the skill Tongue of Right and Wrong. Any information I spread will definitely pique the other party's interest and make them verify it. That's why Qiu Yuanlang sent people to investigate Xingyu Tower immediately after seeing my letter. Otherwise, how could the cunning Qiu Yuanlang easily believe something as vague as Celestial Demon?"

Manipulate: To repeatedly flick or play with one's fingers; to show off; to flaunt; to provoke.

The meanings of "Manipulate" flashed through Du Ge's mind, and his lips twitched. One yandere, one gossipy woman, and one glutton. It seemed the simulation arena wasn't going to assign him any good keywords!

Compared to them, his own "Maintenance/Protect" was truly an excellent keyword.

Otherwise.

Without it, he really couldn't have caused such a huge mess with just a backstab.

"What role can you play?" Du Ge asked in a low voice.

"I can lure monsters." At the brink of death, Feng Zhong's mind raced. "Seventh Brother, my Tongue of Right and Wrong can quickly throw the world into chaos. Your keyword is Maintenance/Protect, and the more chaotic the world is, the better you can utilize your keyword!"

"It's useless! I can cause chaos in this world by myself," Du Ge said. "It's safer to kill you. You betrayed me once, and you can betray me a second time…"

"Seventh Brother, it's useful, it's useful. The chaos you cause is uncontrollable, and it draws everyone's attention to you. My Tongue of Right and Wrong can adjust the rhythm and keep the chaos within an acceptable range for us," Feng Zhong said. "As for betrayal, you're mistaken about me. We didn't know each other then, and who wouldn't want to eliminate a few more competitors? It's human nature, and it's also the rules of the simulation arena…"

Just as Du Ge was about to speak.

The place where the cases were being heard suddenly erupted into chaos. The commoners who dared to make money by appealing their cases screamed and fled in all directions.

Immediately after, Wang San's hysterical voice rang out: "Old man, I loved you so much, why did you do this to me? Why did you betray me? Speak, say something…"
