The shards pressed against their throats, and they could distinctly feel the chilling aura at the edge, not daring to make a sound for fear that even the slightest vibration might cost them their lives.
Upon hearing Sang Qingxiao's words, some people began to blame the Qi Family. They had previously consulted the Liang Family, who, while not elaborating in detail, had strongly advised against their actions. Unlike the Qi Family, whose words dripped with disdain for these young individuals, leading to a severe misjudgment of each other.
At that moment, the shards moved in unison again, carving identical lines of blood across everyone's throats. The cuts were small and not fatal, but warm blood trickled down, each drop leaving an undeniable sensation on their skin.
"Are there still people who want to fight me for this?" Sang Qingxiao asked after collecting the shards.
The crowd remained silent, not leaving but appearing more bewildered than hesitant. It seemed they feared her words might hold lethal consequences. Among them were those who felt unwilling to back down, though they concealed it well within the group.
It was a pity that they could not see the Qi Family; the Liang Family observed from a distance, and Sang Qingxiao did not spare them a glance either.
Sang Qingxiao continued to clarify her stance: "I have already given you a chance. You cannot handle the Immortal Sword, and you certainly cannot handle me. Do you still wish to fight for this? Do you have the capability to take it?"
"This demon hunting task is meant for Demon Catchers. What business do you Jianghu people have meddling here? Do you have the ability to interfere? Do you even qualify to join this commotion? And how dare you attempt to set a price on me! Who gave you that audacity? Have you even bothered to inquire in Jingjing City? I, Sang Qingxiao, am not someone you can provoke!"
"I don't believe that you cunning Jianghu people are unaware of Qi Family's schemes; it's simply about seizing treasures and vying for status. But I am not one of your kind; I do not care about your daily rankings. Even if I possess the Immortal Sword, it would only prevent another bloody storm among you."
"I usually prefer diplomacy before conflict, which is why I played along with this charade to explain things clearly to you all. Not killing you now is merely due to my reluctance for trouble; it does not mean I am incapable of doing so."
"If you still fail to understand reason and insist on opposing me and stealing my belongings, do not blame me for being merciless!"
Seeing that no one moved, Sang Qingxiao teased, "It's chilly in autumn nights; don’t you feel cold in those clothes?"
"Leave now, and I will hold no grudges. If you choose to stay, be prepared for battle. If after leaving you plot against me, be ready for my retaliation. You’ve never seen a Demon Catcher kill before; my methods will be beyond your imagination!"
Gradually, someone finally left. With a leader taking charge, others followed suit more quickly. The Liang Family also persuaded many to depart; there were a few stubborn ones whom they managed to convince as well.
Liang Shangshan briefly bowed towards Sang Qingxiao from afar as if offering a gesture of respect. Sang Qingxiao pretended not to notice and accepted it without acknowledgment.
Li Cu stepped forward and linked arms with Sang Qingxiao. "Is this matter settled now? Dealing with people is truly exhausting, especially with so many of them."
All the necessary warnings had been given. If there were still those who failed to recognize the situation, even if I had to resort to violence, I would still be in the right.
