Chapter 61: Provoked into a corner

What's going on?

The onlookers were all stunned.

They looked at the heavily injured Tong Shihong, but for a moment, they didn't know what to say to match their current mood.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

All the way, Tong Shihong had been recklessly finding people to deliver messages to Huashan. Everyone saw it, but Feng Qi remained indifferent, as if he tacitly approved. People thought that he was limited in ability, which was why he allowed Tong Shihong to act so recklessly.

After all, Tong Shihong was a top-notch master in the world. They didn't expect that as soon as he arrived on the mountain, he would be stabbed.

They couldn't even tell if this was a warning or a deterrent?

What shocked them even more was that in the face of Feng Qi's sudden attack, Tong Shihong couldn't even dodge...

Sure enough, it was worth following them all the way. This time, there was really a good show to watch.

...

Huashan Sect fell into silence.

Tong Shihong suddenly came as a gesture of goodwill to disrupt the alliance between the two sects?

Zong Gui looked at Tong Shihong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, healing his injuries, and his mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't figure it out.

Master Tong, what are you doing?

All the way, you sent letter after letter to me, saying that it was not an exaggeration to say that you knew Feng Qi inside out. How come you didn't have any defense against his sneak attack?

We've already come up the mountain, why didn't you come earlier?

Could I still have someone shoot you?

Could it be that you used your own life to demonstrate how powerful Feng Qi is?

No.

It has nothing to do with Master Tong. Clearly, it's the Heavenly Demon's unpredictable behavior that makes it impossible for people to guard against...

Zong Gui calmed his mind and looked at Feng Qi and the other two, who were two hundred meters away. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Alright, since Nie Nong has agreed to Huashan Sect joining the Peacekeeping Alliance, you can come forward and let's discuss cooperation. All disciples, put away your weapons and welcome Gang Leader Feng."

Two hundred meters was too far, even a strong bow couldn't reach that distance. At least lure him closer first.

After all, Zong Gui's reasons were more righteous.

And Feng Qi's words and actions were clever, sounding reasonable, but upon closer inspection, they were all untenable.

Indeed, experience makes the master.

...

"Sect Leader Zong, have you made up your mind?" Du Ge didn't seem like someone who had been cornered, smiling as he asked.

"I don't understand what Feng Gang Leader means by that," Zong Gui said.

"Presumably Sect Leader Zong also knows that the main purpose of the Peacekeeping Gang's establishment is to eradicate the Heavenly Demons in the world. This matter is no less important than upholding justice and peace in the world," Du Ge said seriously.

"Feng Gang Leader, there's no need to beat around the bush. Everything can be said openly," Zong Gui smiled."Alright, I'll be straightforward then." Du Ge smiled, "Firstly, if Sect Leader Zong attacks me when I ascend the mountain, it would be a betrayal of trust; secondly, if the Huashan Sect is secretly harboring the Heavenly Demon and it gets exposed, it would be another violation. If either of these is discovered, Huashan will become a target for the Peacekeeping Gang to eliminate. The vast estate of the Huashan Sect might be reduced to ashes.

The reason why I insist on descending the mountain is to leave some room for Sect Leader Zong to maneuver, and to give the Huashan Sect some time to self-examine and self-correct.

After all, the Peacekeeping Gang allows people to make mistakes and to correct them, just like how I only slightly punished Master Tong for his mistake and still insisted on helping him. But if the mistake is too grave, there won't even be a chance to correct it."

Slightly punished?

You pierced my heart and lungs, and you call that slight punishment?

So, I should thank you, right?

Tong Shihong, who was healing his wounds, heard Du Ge's words and was so angry that he almost lost control. He swayed slightly, a trace of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he almost lost his mind on the spot. He quickly stabilized his mind, focused on healing his wounds, and stopped listening to Du Ge's nonsense.

"I've made myself clear. Does Sect Leader Zong still insist on inviting me up the mountain?" Du Ge asked with a smile.

Do you think I, Zong Gui, am easily scared?

Are the hundreds of us in the Huashan Sect afraid of your three Heavenly Demons?

Even if you talk eloquently, killing you would solve everything. Who in this world would dare to speak ill of me then?

Do you really think the Huashan Sect is a third-rate sect like the Iron Palm Gang?

Seeing Feng Qi being provoked into a corner, Zong Gui smiled broadly and said with a fist salute: "Gang Leader Feng, you worry too much. I, Zong Gui, have a clear conscience. Please."
