“Brother Qi, in less than twenty days, there are only 127 people left in the simulation field. We’ve made history!” Feng Zhong couldn’t stop flicking through the ranking data, looking over and over with a face full of excitement, “If I weren’t personally involved, I wouldn’t dare to believe that we accomplished this.”
“It’s mainly Brother Qi’s doing, at most we were just beating the drums on the side.” Wang San corrected him seriously. At the moment, there were still three skull heads hanging around his neck, but the necklace made of finger bones had gained another one, making him look like a shaman from a primitive religion, sinister and seductive.
“It’s a joint effort by everyone. Without your cooperation, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this step,” Duge said with a smile, without taking any credit.
“Brother Qi is being too modest. With your ability, without us two, you might have been slower at most, but you definitely could have made it. On the contrary, without you, who knows if we would still be squatting in that horn of a dilemma!” Feng Zhong said. “The luckiest thing in my life was being caught by Brother Qi outside Luyang City.”
“Me too, without Brother Qi, I might have already been eliminated,” Wang San said. “Keywords like ‘Sickly Cute’ are too niche, and the chances of survival are low. It’s basically impossible to last until the end, but now, I’m ranked second in the simulation field, just like in a dream.”
“Kid, you can’t hold onto that second place for long. Once my ‘Tongue of Right and Wrong’ causes complete chaos in the Martial Worlds, second place will be mine,” Feng Zhong said.
In his hand appeared a toy similar to a switch, which his fingers habitually flicked back and forth.
After coming down from Hua Mountain Sect, Feng Zhong stopped flicking cats’ ears because whenever he moved his fingers, the cat would pee on him. This was also true for horses; he now needed to ride with proper decorum, striving to curb the impulse to play with the horse’s ears, lest a slight touch would cause the horse’s legs to buckle and throw him off.
Duge guessed right. At Hua Mountain Sect, he awoke a new skill called the Heartfelt Finger. Whatever target his finger flicked would unconsciously experience a great sense of pleasure.
Just the sound of it was a very improper skill.
The nuns from Emei Sect now dare not approach Feng Zhong; they are more afraid of him than of Wang San.
“You? By that time, my fame as ‘Sickly Cute’ will have spread across the world, and you’ll just be fit to be the eternal third,” Wang San glanced at him contemptuously.
“Wait and see,” Feng Zhong said, chuckling happily.
“Aren’t we all brothers here? Is the ranking that important?” Duge turned back to look at them and smiled, “It’s the top ten rankings that are captured in the simulation field. If you surpass me one day and take the top spot, I don’t mind.”
“Brother Qi, if anyone dares to surpass you, I’d fight to the death to take him down,” Wang San looked at Duge and then glanced at Feng Zhong, all seriousness, “The first place in the simulation field can only be Brother Qi’s.”
“Why are you looking at me? I’ll never have the chance to surpass Brother Qi in my life!” Feng Zhong glared back, and then laughed, “After all is said and done, you’re still not confident, knowing you can’t hold onto your second place, eh?”
“…” Wang San gave him a look and silently played with his skull.”
“Brother Qi, it’s so cool to team up with you. I don’t know if we’ll have a chance to cooperate in the next simulation,” Feng Zhong shook his head, looked at Duge, his eyes rolling, and said, “Brother Qi, Wang, why don’t we three set up a secret code? With Brother Qi’s experience, I reckon we can all survive the next simulation. We’ll identify each other with the secret code, and then we can work together again, striving to reach the Alien Battlefield together in the end.”
“Sure,” Wang San said.
“The King Covers the Tiger, The Pagoda Suppresses the River Demon,” Duge blurted out the classic secret phrase from Earth.
After so many days, Duge had also figured out the rules of the simulation field: only one keyword per person, and that too randomly assigned, making it extremely difficult to compete for the top ten alone. Seeking collaboration was indeed the simplest strategy.
“Brother Qi, that secret code is awesome. Easy on the tongue and simple to remember,” Feng Zhong’s eyes lit up as he gave a thumbs up, “It’s way better than someone’s ‘if not today then the day after tomorrow.’ Besides the three of us, I guarantee no one could match it.”
Anyone who could match it had to be a fellow Earthling.
In his heart, Duge sneered and said, “Stop talking such nonsense. Think about how to deal with the Beggar’s Gang. The Beggar’s Gang has the most members in the world, and most of them are old, weak, sick, and disabled. They’ve been quiet for so many days; who knows if they’re holding several Heavenly Demons, wanting to arm wrestle us!”
“It’s also possible that due to the matter of wives and children, the Beggar’s Gang and the Qingjiao Gang have started fighting!” Feng Zhong laughed. At this moment, his confidence was extremely inflated, “Brother Qi, I’ll write another letter, luring the top fighters of the Beggar’s Gang to Luyang City. To catch the bandits, we must catch the leader first. If we take down the Gang Leader of the Beggar’s Gang, however many Heavenly Demons there are will have to kneel.”
“Okay, we must be more cautious as we proceed. These days, others should have started to develop as well. Be careful when you go out,” Duge nodded, “We are in the light, they are in the shadows. We’ve worked hard to create this perfect situation, so let’s not capsize in the gutter.”
…
Soon enough,
Duge learned why the Beggar’s Gang hadn’t come to surrender.
The number one Martial Family, the Qiao Family, released a battle manifesto against the Peacekeeping Gang, directly targeting Feng Qi’s policy towards the Heavenly Demons.
“…Do Heavenly Demons truly need to be eradicated?
Admittedly, some Heavenly Demons are indeed evil. However, according to the Qiao Family’s investigation, many of the Heavenly Demons destined to bring disaster to the world in Feng Qi’s words have attributes such as peacefulness, kindness, diligence, enthusiasm, tenderness, openness, and even selflessness, affability, nobility…
They arrived in the human world just wanting to live a good life, to pass their days like humans. They weren’t much of a threat to humanity; on the contrary, they might even be beneficial.”
Yet Feng Qi’s Peacekeeping Gang, merely because of the Heavenly Demon identity, wants to strike them down with one blow. How innocent are they?
What did they do wrong? Merely because they are Heavenly Demons?
Cats, dogs, cattle, sheep, even flowers, birds, fish, and insects, all can have their own place in this world. Our vast world, why can’t it accommodate a few Heavenly Demons?
Feng Qi talks and talks about protecting the morals of the rivers and lakes, peace under the heavens, but is he really protecting these?
His companion, Wang San, who insults people physically and shatters their courage, is a true Evil Demon. Why doesn’t Feng Qi eliminate him?
In the end, what Feng Qi protects is merely his own interests, the power he gains through the Peacekeeping Gang.
If not for coercion, would Hua Mountain, Mount Tai, Emei Sect, Divine Fist Gate, really be willing to join the Peacekeeping Alliance? Even Feng Qi’s Peacekeeping Gang is also built on plundered property.
Under the name of goodness, they commit evils, which is even worse than evil itself.
Such a person, how can he truly protect the world?
Perhaps, Feng Qi’s attribute is not protection but pretense, greed, deception, chaos…
Such a person wants to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, my Qiao Family is the first to refuse.
The Qiao Family, in the name of the Martial Saint, announces that any kind-hearted Heavenly Demon who joins the Qiao Family, will receive protection from the Qiao Family. Let’s see what Feng Qi dares to do to you!
In view of Feng Qi causing calamities in the world, the Qiao Family’s sacred land will be open ahead of schedule, inviting all major sects to come to the Qiao Family.
The Snow Mountain Sect and the Blood Sabre Sect wanted to come to the Qiao Family to snatch the secret scrolls, didn’t they? There’s no need to steal, come to the Qiao Family. Whether you are a Heavenly Demon or a young person from any sect, as long as you meet the qualifications to enter the sacred land after competition, you may enter the sacred land, seek the Martial Saint’s heritage, improve your strength, and together oppose the Peacekeeping Gang.
Qiao Family Head Qiao Pingjiang announces.”
…
Looking at the battle decree in his hand, Duge couldn’t help but laugh silently, “What a big hat to wear, Qiao Family is raising the banner, openly confronting me!”
“So impulsive, Qiao Pingjiang must have been bewitched by some Heavenly Demon!” Feng Zhong frowned, silently fidgeting with the object in his hand, his expression growing inexplicably serious.
“The Qiao Family is not willing to lose the title of the number one Martial Family to the Gang Leader,” Zong Gui said.
“Gang Leader, the Qiao Family has always had prestige. With this battle decree issued, other gangs will surely come to their aid, and after the Qiao Family recruits more Heavenly Demons, I’m afraid our Peacekeeping Gang will have no chance of winning!”
Qin Wenzheng, Sect Leader of Mount Tai Sect, said with a pained expression.
This moment.
He was filled with regret.
Regretting the poor location of his own gang’s territory, and lamenting that the Qiao Family’s battle decree came too late.
If he could seize just one of those two factors, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation today. The Peacekeeping Gang only has three Heavenly Demons while the Qiao Family, with a mere call to arms, could recruit dozens or even hundreds of Heavenly Demons.
Three against hundreds.
On the Qiao Family side, more sects were allied too. Not to mention others, just the Beggar’s Gang and the Qingjiao Gang, their numbers already surpassed several sects combined.
He saw not a trace of hope for victory.
If not for Feng Qi’s tight surveillance, he would have been tempted to defect to the Qiao Family already.

“Gang Leader, what do we do?” As the Qiao Family raises the banner to oppose the Peacekeeping Gang, Master Zuoqiu of the Emei Sect also felt somewhat at a loss.
“Those not of our kin must have different intentions. With high status, does that make what they say right? By sheltering Heavenly Demons who do not belong to this world, the Qiao Family is like a flock of sheep welcoming a group of wolves. Just this one fact is enough to brand them as traitors to their race. Of course, we must go to the Qiao Family, eradicate all Heavenly Demons, and return the world to stability. After eradicating the Qiao Family, we’ll take out the Martial Saint’s secret scrolls for the benefit of the entire Martial Worlds. Despite owning a treasure mountain, they insist on doling it out through contests of combat, extorting the entire Martial Worlds with this leverage. The thing Feng detests the most is selfish individuals.”
Duge declared righteously. Glancing at the battle decree in his hand, he let out a chuckle and said, “Speaking of which, the Qiao Family concentrating all the Heavenly Demons is also a big help to us. Had I known earlier, I would have used this tactic and lured them over myself.”
