World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 54: Master Tong's grand plan

Peacekeeping Gang.

Du Ge specially arranged a welcoming banquet for Tong Shihong, and all the middle and high-level members of the alliance were present to accompany him.

Inside and outside the original Iron Palm Gang, a banquet was set up for the people to eat and drink.

A long banner was hung above the gate of the Peacekeeping Gang, with the words "Warmly celebrate Tong Shihong's joining of the Divine Fist Sect in the Peacekeeping Alliance".

These days, the morale within the gang was low, and they needed a master like Tong Shihong to inject a shot of confidence into the Peacekeeping Gang, so that everyone would realize that following the Peacekeeping Gang would lead to a bright future.

...

Tong Shihong sat next to Du Ge, looking at the festive Peacekeeping Gang, his face was as calm as water. The people of Luyang City freely entered and exited the Peacekeeping Gang, coming just to catch a glimpse of him, making him feel like a monkey being observed.

He never expected Du Ge to make such a big fuss.

A banquet?

But he couldn't perform.

After all, he lost to Du Ge, and his reputation in the martial world was tarnished.

Moreover, Du Ge even arranged for Qiu Yuanlang's family to sit at the table next to him.

Those who were terrified of the Heavenly Demon, as long as Wang San glanced at them, they trembled like quails. He didn't want to become like them.

This was an unspoken threat.

With both scheming and martial arts skills, if there was such a person stirring up trouble in the martial world, there would be no peace in the future.

Tong Shihong glanced sideways at Du Ge, feeling worried.

"Everyone, welcome Master Tong to join our Peacekeeping Alliance." Du Ge stood beside Tong Shihong, raising his glass high.

"Welcome Master Tong."

The voices were uneven, and everyone raised their glasses in agreement. The lively atmosphere was like a wedding scene.

"To Master Tong."

The smiles on Gao Yong and others' faces were particularly sincere. They knew that their gang leader would make a move against Tong Shihong, but they didn't expect him to win so decisively.

Tong Shihong's gloomy face was ignored by them as a matter of course.

Back then, when they were brought under Du Ge's control, they were in the same situation, and in the end, they accepted their fate.

Moreover, after joining the Peacekeeping Alliance, life was not as difficult as they had imagined.

Now that the gang leader could defeat top-notch experts, it completely eliminated their worries, so what else could they be dissatisfied with?

Tong Shihong drank the wine in his cup with a heavy heart, thinking about how to deal with the situation ahead. It was impossible for him to truly join the Peacekeeping Alliance. He was proud all his life, how could he submit to others?

He needed to find a way to unite the people from the Three Gates and Five Sects to get rid of Feng Qi. That was the right path.

Tong Shihong didn't believe what Feng Qi said about protecting the Heavenly Demon and then protecting his own words.

"When we got rid of He Yuan'an, the troublemaker, I said that Master Tong understands righteousness and will not blame me. Now, not only does Master Tong not blame me for what happened to He Yuan'an, but he also personally joined our Peacekeeping Gang. It really makes me feel emotional." Du Ge smiled and raised his glass again. "Let us toast to Master Tong once again, toasting to his sense of justice and his clear-sightedness."

"To Master Tong."

With the experience from last time, the voices of the Peacekeeping Gang members were much more uniform this time.

Damn it!

Tong Shihong's forehead throbbed, almost crushing the glass in his hand. You don't mention the bet, huh!

But what could he do now?

He couldn't overturn the table, and he couldn't argue with him. Did that mean he didn't have justice in his heart and was an evil person?

This damn Feng Qi...

Tong Shihong forced a stiff smile on his face and drank the wine in his cup. The bitterness flowed from his mouth to his heart.

"Master Tong is a top-notch expert in the world. With his joining, I, Feng Qi, have more confidence in maintaining martial arts peace. With the Divine Fist Sect in the Peacekeeping Alliance, there will be the Tianshan Sect, the Huashan Sect, the Beggar's Sect, and the Qiao Family." Du Ge smiled. "Let us toast to Master Tong once again, toasting to his good start in maintaining martial arts peace and the prosperous future of the martial world."

"To Master Tong."

This time, the voices of the Peacekeeping Gang were completely unified.

Tong Shihong raised his head and drank the wine in his cup. He was already numb. As long as he was under the eaves, he had to let others say whatever they wanted!

Du Ge glanced at Tong Shihong with a smile and said, "Master Tong, since you have just joined the Peacekeeping Alliance, why not say a few words to boost our morale?"

I'm already frustrated enough, and now you want me to boost morale for you?

Feng Qi, don't push it too far!

Tong Shihong glared at Du Ge and forced a smile. "Gang Leader Feng, I am not good with words, so I won't say anything."

"Master Tong is visiting our Peacekeeping Gang for the first time and may not feel at ease yet. We won't make things difficult for you, Master." Du Ge smiled.

Tong Shihong breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Du Ge changed the topic. "Then let me say a few words on behalf of Master Tong!"

Damn it!Tong Shihong almost spat out the wine he had just sipped, a sudden panic rising in his heart. He was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have said something, anything, instead of letting Feng Qi speak. Who knew what he might say!

Du Ge didn't care about Tong Shihong's thoughts and began to speak directly:

"Everyone knows that the martial world is in turmoil. Scoundrels are rampant, relying on their martial prowess to wreak havoc on the world. The common people are living in hardship. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon lurks in the world, ready to bring disaster at any moment. I, Feng, felt a calling and took on the responsibility of peacekeeping, thus establishing the Peacekeeping Sect, in an attempt to contribute to the world.

However, the Peacekeeping Sect is too small. Even maintaining peace in a small place like Luyang City is difficult, let alone the whole world. When I think of the countless people suffering in the world, my heart aches!"

His voice suddenly rose, full of vigor, "But fortunately, I met Master Tong Shihong. You may not know, but at first, the old man didn't agree with me. After all, maintaining peace in the world is too difficult. But as the saying goes, heroes appreciate heroes. After some exchanges, Master Tong recognized my strength and, under my persuasion, also accepted my philosophy. He is willing to contribute his strength to uphold justice in the world. Therefore, the Divine Fist Sect joined us and even provided many valuable suggestions."

I didn't, stop talking nonsense!

Tong Shihong's eyes bulged out. He was about to stand up and refute, but just as he was about to rise, Du Ge seemed to unintentionally move the sword on the table, its tip faintly pointing at him.

And Wang San, sitting across from him, coughed lightly.

Tong Shihong's eye twitched, and he reluctantly sat back down. If he were killed by Feng Qi here, the Divine Fist Sect would be finished.

Qiu Muqian sympathetically glanced at him. Her expressive eyes seemed to say, Uncle Tong, you understand now, right? It's not that we're not fighting back, it's that Feng Qi doesn't give us a chance!

"Success comes from secrecy, failure from leaks. Master Tong doesn't want to say much, but I, Feng, am not like him, I can't keep anything to myself. Of course, the Peacekeeping Sect does things openly and honestly. We are doing good deeds, so there's no need to hide." Du Ge waved his hand and said, "On the way here, Master Tong and I have agreed to go to Huashan together to persuade the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect to join our Peacekeeping Alliance.

Not only Huashan, but also Emei, Taishan, and the Beggar's Sect. We plan to form a large alliance centered on Luyang City, uniting several large sects around us, to maintain peace in all the towns within our coverage area and eliminate all the Heavenly Demons.

Then we will expand outward, grow step by step, and eventually maintain peace in the entire world, bringing everyone into our Peacekeeping Alliance. In the end, the world will be united. This is the future plan of our Peacekeeping Sect."

It's over!

In an instant.

Tong Shihong seemed to have his spirit drained, slumping into his chair. His left hand was tightly gripping his thigh under the table, his heart filled with regret. Why did he let him speak? Why did he let him speak? Even if he had stood up and said a few words of blessing, it would have been better!

Now, the Divine Fist Sect was completely pushed to the opposing side of the other sects.
