Board the bus first, then buy the ticket.

Bullying the weak?

What do you think you're doing right now?

Aren't you just relying on your strength to bully people?

And you call it righteous? We at least try to cover it up, but you're openly corrupt.

The entire martial arts world combined isn't as black-hearted as you are!?

What about maintaining peace for the world? From beginning to end, you've only maintained your own interests...

Gao Yong and the others were furiously complaining in their hearts. Their expressions were like a fly stuck in their throat, neither up nor down, making them feel disgusted and uncomfortable.

At this moment, they only agreed with one thing Feng Qi said: that the Celestial Demons were all a scourge and must be eliminated as soon as possible, including Feng Qi...

These Celestial Demons are all lunatics; not a single one of them has normal thoughts.

They had to find a way to spread Feng Qi's true face. Otherwise, if he continued to deceive others with his benevolent facade, the martial arts world would be ruined.

Right!

They had to survive. They couldn't just die here inexplicably. The people present found the same excuse for their cowardice.

"Congratulations to all of you for joining the Peacekeeping Alliance," Du Ge said, as if he hadn't seen their constipated expressions. He threw the blood-stained clothes in his hand to the ground and clasped his hands to everyone again. "From today on, let us join hands to maintain the stability and peace of Luyang City."

"Good." Circumstances were stronger than people. Gao Yong forced a smile onto his face and clasped his hands in response to Du Ge.

"Excellent," said Ding Wanjie of the Beggar's Sect. "Maintaining righteousness is our duty as martial artists. In the future, if Leader Feng gives an order, the Luyang City Beggar's Sect branch will not dare to disobey."

"Leader Feng is absolutely right," said Ding Yang of Emei. "Although I am a woman, I will also contribute to the people of Luyang City."

The people from Tianshan and Huashan also praised Feng Qi's proposal, as if they weren't the ones who had just shown disdain for the Peacekeeping Alliance. Harmony was restored in the meeting hall, with only the great villain He Yuan'an lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open in death, as if accusing the world of injustice.

"Since that's the case, I have a few contracts for joining the Peacekeeping Alliance here. Please, sirs, sign and seal them!" Du Ge glanced at them and, as if by magic, pulled out a stack of white paper from his bosom. He said with a smile, "Our Peacekeeping Alliance was officially established yesterday. Later, we will go attack the Luyang City branch of the Divine Fist School to eliminate the villains who attacked the civilians yesterday and framed the Peacekeeping Gang. He Yuan'an will surely be besieged and killed by us..."

The smiles on Gao Yong and the others' faces froze.

The alliance was established yesterday, and He Yuan'an was besieged and killed by them...

Using the time difference, all the loopholes were covered. As long as the people of Luyang City witnessed the blood-stained clothes of the Peacekeeping Gang and He Yuan'an's corpse being brought from their headquarters.

They weren't members of the Peacekeeping Alliance, but now they were.

Good heavens, every step was calculated, leaving them no room to retreat!

In the future, if this matter reached the Divine Fist School, how could Tong Hong'an believe their explanations? If he then attacked them, their sect might not even be able to protect them...

How could this guy be so black-hearted?

The deputy leader of the Divine Fist School sneered repeatedly. Serves you right, you two-faced hypocrites. You deserve to be dragged down to death with Feng Qi.

"Do you still have any concerns?" Du Ge frowned and looked around at everyone. "Are there any accomplices of He Yuan'an among you?"

Damn it!

Gao Yong and the others' faces changed instantly.

In this situation, whether they were accomplices or not was up to Feng Qi to decide. If they really refused to sign, their corpses would surely end up like He Yuan'an's, found at the Peacekeeping Alliance's headquarters and beaten to death.

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Du Ge decided to break them down one by one. He looked at Ding Wanjie of the Beggar's Sect. "Elder Ding, I felt an instant connection with you. Why don't you set an example?"

Son of a bitch!

Who wants to feel an instant connection with you?

Ding Wanjie's face lost all color.

Wang San stepped forward at the opportune moment, and the blood-stained dagger in Du Ge's hand was subtly aimed at him.

"Alright, I'll sign," Ding Wanjie cursed Feng Qi in his heart. He took a contract from him and was about to sign it when he suddenly froze. "Leader Feng, did you give me the wrong one? There's no writing on it!"

"Time was short, and I didn't have time to write. Elder Ding, don't worry, just sign it first, and I'll add the terms later," Du Ge said matter-of-factly.

Damn it!

Ding Wanjie's brow twitched. He suddenly had the urge to draw his saber and fight Du Ge to the death. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

But then he remembered how Feng Qi had easily declared He Yuan'an the murderer without any evidence. He could only sigh helplessly, write his name on the white paper, and press his handprint. After doing so, he prepared to step back.

"Don't rush, you have to sign all seven," Du Ge called out to him with a smile. "It's better to be prepared. If these agreements are damaged, some things will be unclear. Signing a few extra copies is for insurance. Later, this agreement will be posted in Luyang City for public display."

Ding Wanjie's expression changed again. He glanced at Du Ge and silently signed his name on all the white papers. Signing one was the same as signing seven. He no longer cared. As long as he could find a way to kill Feng Qi later, the right and wrong would be up to them.

With Ding Wanjie as the breakthrough, Gao Yong and the others also gave up their resistance and signed the agreements.

Du Ge carefully examined the agreements, looked at their signatures, and put all seven copies into his bosom. He nodded with satisfaction. "From the moment you entered the meeting hall, I knew you were all righteous people. With the addition of you leaders, we are one step closer to our goal of maintaining justice in the world. Congratulations."

Saying that, he sat back in the main seat. "Without delay, let's rest briefly and set off immediately to exterminate the villains of the Divine Fist School in Luyang City. Every time I think of the money for the people's grievances being stolen by these scoundrels and them still being at large, I can't eat or sleep. I can't sit still."

Gao Yong and the others remained silent.

"Liu Cheng, bring Supervisor He along to exterminate the bandits. Cover his face so no one sees him," Du Ge said to Liu Cheng, giving him instructions.

With every move, Feng Qi had tied the major forces in Luyang City to the Peacekeeping Gang's warship. Liu Cheng was filled with admiration for the black-hearted and ruthless Feng Qi, feeling full of energy, and loudly replied, "Yes, Leader."

Du Ge looked back at Gao Yong and the others. "Everyone, rest assured. After exterminating the Divine Fist School, the money obtained, apart from compensating the civilians, the rest will be personally delivered to your respective residences by my men..."

Gao Yong and the others' expressions changed again. They repeatedly waved their hands, "No need, no need. Sect Leader Feng is too kind. Upholding justice is our duty. If we accept money, it will taint this honor for no reason."

What a joke!

If we kill people and take money, how will we ever explain ourselves later?

"Daoist Gao, that's not entirely correct." Du Ge looked at them with a smile and said, "There's nothing wrong with upholding justice, but relying solely on one's righteous spirit won't last. After all, everyone needs to eat. Doing unpaid work for a short period might be fine, but over time, it's inevitable that people will slack off, and eventually, our peacekeeping alliance will fall apart.

Therefore, we should accept what we're offered. Only then will our peacekeeping alliance grow stronger. Like me, if I hadn't inherited the Iron Palm Sect from Sect Leader Qiu, how could I have reached this point with just passion?"

"Sect Leader Feng, the Beggar's Sect lives by begging. Money is an external possession to us. I, Ding, am willing to dedicate myself to justice selflessly, without any complaints." Ding Wanjie pondered for a moment, imitating Feng Qi's way of speaking.

He couldn't let himself be tied tighter to Feng Qi's sinking ship, or there would be no chance of escape.

"I understand Elder Ding's concerns, fearing that accepting money will lead to public condemnation, that people will say our Peacekeeping Gang is amassing wealth under the guise of justice." Du Ge looked at Ding Wanjie and then at Gao Yong and the others, smiling. "You all needn't worry. The money we obtain from cracking down on evil forces will be used to maintain the operations of the Peacekeeping Gang. Every cent's destination will be made public, showing everyone where the money is spent. I believe the public will understand."

Damn it!

And it has to be made public.

Gao Yong and the others felt their hearts turn to ash. They were trying to hide, and now making it public meant they had no way out. This damned Feng Qi!
