The other party's attitude was resolute; there was no way to resolve this peacefully.
Pang Yong glanced around, noticing that Liu Zheng had taken a step back, while Yongxin Marquis stood by, showing no intention of helping. Meng Yi, the commander from the Military Affairs Office in the East City, seemed eager to intervene but was pulled back by Liu Zheng.
Meng Yi was puzzled, and Liu Zheng gestured for him to look at Xiao Tao Rui and Misha standing not far away.
"Leopard Demon Lizu," Liu Zheng whispered, "escaped from the Demon Suppression Tower. The entire Demon Subduing Institute can't do anything about him. Miss Sang brought him to his knees with just a few punches, and she is also Spirit Familiar. Not to mention Miss Sang herself; can you withstand that Qilin Arm of his?"
Hearing this, Meng Yi felt a chill run down his spine and murmured, "What exactly is Miss Sang's background?"
"I don't know," he replied. "All I know is that even Yong Huai respects her. The Small Tavern across from the Office of Censors is run by her; I've heard the food is excellent and was thinking of trying it sometime."
"Anyway, don't worry about this here. I've been told there are quite a few high-ranking officials watching the commotion. Miss Sang's earlier words were clearly directed at them for being shameless. They heard her but still chose to act like turtles hiding in their shells. So, Pang Family, why should we small officials stick our necks out?"
Meng Yi was still conflicted, but the Military Affairs Office was indeed responsible for maintaining order in the capital.
Pang Chengzu's act of murder was real; he had provoked the Demon Catcher as well. I even had someone check the Caution Tablet, and there is indeed an inscription on that stone tablet, which, according to records, was personally established by our Founding Emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty.
When Emperor Qin Zhang fought for his kingdom, he had the help of a Demon Catcher friend. This man suffered a pyrrhic victory in battle against demons, exhausting all his cultivation and becoming a cripple. Qin Zhang felt grateful yet guilty and had arranged for him a future life. However, as time passed and he became busier, he neglected this matter until one day during a secret visit when he discovered that the man was living poorly and often bullied by others.
The Founding Emperor was furious and executed nine generations of that man's family, personally establishing this clause.
Liu Zheng continued to persuade his stubborn friend: "If this escalates to His Majesty, Pang Chengzu will surely die. Not to mention he has indeed committed a crime; how could His Majesty go against the Founding Emperor's decree?"
Pang Yong realized he had nowhere else to turn for help and devised a plan instead.
When he looked at Sang Qingxiao again, he saw her eyes filled with tears as she sincerely bowed her head towards her. The girl said it was due to parental negligence that he would pay with his life for his child’s mistakes. He only hoped that after his death, the grievances between the Pang Family and the girl would be settled once and for all.
Just then, they had barely reached an apparent consensus when an old woman began shouting again—one pulling towards her son while the other insisted on lying on the ground.
Seeing she couldn't pull him away any longer, the old woman started hitting and kicking Late Mother while shouting, "How can you kill my son! Haven't I already promised to pay you with one life? If you want to kill someone, then kill her! Why should you kill me!"
Late Mother realized death was imminent and began to fight back: "If anyone should die here, it should be you, old hag! You spoiled Chengzu like this!"
Pang Yong ignored their internal conflict and continued with his plan, lamenting about his son's upbringing while pleading with Sang Qingxiao to take action herself and give him a quick end.
"This isn't good; Pang Yong must have some trick up his sleeve!" Qilang anxiously said to Qi Xiaomian from afar.
Qi Shuobai shot him a glance and replied, "Do you really need to say that? You're so slow on the uptake! If you've noticed it, do you think Miss Sang wouldn't? Just keep quiet."
It wasn't just Qi Xiaomian's group who noticed; Liu Zheng was also contemplating whether he should assist Sang Qingxiao nearby.
For a long time, the elders had said that Pang Yong was brave but foolish, and that such clumsy tricks would not escape Sang Qingxiao's notice. Yet Pang Yong was indeed courageous, possessing a raw strength, and he had once had the fortune to learn formidable Inner Strength.
If Pang Yong were to gather all his might and strike with all his life on the line, it was uncertain whether Miss Sang would emerge unscathed.
However, the next scene proved he was overthinking it. Who would have thought that Miss Sang was both a Demon Catcher and a martial artist? The Inner Strength within her was even deeper than Pang Yong's.
