Since it cannot be obtained, then let it be destroyed! Qi Hao had already envisioned in his heart how to embellish the tale of today’s events once he left this place, hoping to attract more people to help him kill this woman. If he could eliminate that rebellious child as well, it would be even better!
Sang Qingxiao could see the hidden malice in Qi Hao's eyes. The Qi Family Head had already estimated the numbers? Thousands upon thousands of people—he would have to choose carefully. Who knew how many would survive after being burned by the Divine Fire?
Upon hearing this, the Qi Family Head glanced at the already charred Yezhou City. Yes, he needed to choose; he had initially wanted to send a few skilled confidants. If they died like this, it would indeed be a pity. He couldn't act impulsively; he needed to think it through and let them live a few more days.
Qi Hao angrily flicked his sleeves and led his companion out of Yezhou City.
Liang Shangshan watched his retreating figure with unease. This man was always calculating and toxic, often overlooked due to his handsome face, which made others forget his ruthless methods.
"Miss Sang," he said, "you have offended him multiple times today. He must hate you deeply. The numbers he mentioned—thousands upon thousands—are not just for show; he has the ability to rally others."
Upon returning to the city, he would undoubtedly spread the news immediately. It was possible that by the time he reached Yuntie County, the first wave of assassins would already be on their way.
If you were to kill that little brat right now, my Liang Family might still have a chance to negotiate since no one stands to gain anything from this situation. But if you decide to keep him alive, I must say that my Liang Family is not suited to get involved. We still make our living in the martial world, and all we can do afterward is try our best to prevent other families from participating.
Sang Qingxiao sighed inwardly at Liang Shangshan's frankness and recognized his cautious intentions. "You are too polite, Liang Family Head. Although we have only spent a few hours together, I can see that you are a person of great wisdom. Associating with someone like you is certainly not foolish."
Not getting involved wouldn’t help me much; in fact, it’s just protecting your own life. You’ve seen the power of the Divine Fire; my area of expertise in group attacks is not limited to just that fire. Anyone who rashly steps forward will undoubtedly die.
I’ve given my warning; if you cannot restrain your people and I accidentally kill someone from your side, don’t blame me.
Liang Shangshan raised his hand in salute and quickly left with his companion.
Sang Qingxiao turned her gaze toward Li Cu and Misha. Even knowing they might face thousands of attackers, neither showed any fear in their eyes.
Li Cu was even filled with fighting spirit, excitement radiating from him.
Misha’s eyes were full of agreement; he supported Sang Qingxiao’s choice and looked down on those who bullied children. Though he believed in Buddhism, he was also someone capable of killing.
Sang Qingxiao then looked at Qi Xiaomian. "You represent the court; don’t get involved."
Qi Xiaomian raised an eyebrow and said, "You seem to have forgotten that I was the one who wanted this brat first."
Sang Qingxiao scoffed, "Do you think just saying you want him is enough to make me comply?"
"Uh, I want to stay and face this together with you," she added while thinking about your uncle who often hangs around.
Qi Xiaomian replied again, "In the martial world, whoever seizes it gets it. What does it matter if I’m from the court? Can’t I still take what I want?"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Sang Qingxiao decided to go along with him.
He then turned to Qiu Zizai and said, "You should join us too."
Qiu Zizai stood still, but asked, "Are you really confident that you can suppress that child’s Demonic Nature?"
