The young lady spoke cautiously, "This is baseless. We, the Jin Family, are not to be trifled with. If you provoke us..." Her words trailed off as Sang Qingxiao produced an object.
"Familiar, isn't it?" Sang Qingxiao shook the Demon Artifact in her hand. "To discuss your Jin Family's history, we must trace it back to the time of the Demon Clan Town Guardian. This Demon Artifact has been passed down since then, and its craftsmanship is indeed exquisite. I believe there must be records of it in the Jin Family's lineage."
"I not only possess this Demon Artifact but also have the proof of the transaction between the Jin Family and the demon clan from back in the day. The Jin Family was much more ostentatious then than it is now; even the seal on the proof was several times larger. However, this made it clearer, with details visible to the naked eye. You might want to come closer and discern for yourself."
The Jin Family did not deny or confirm anything but simply asked, "Miss, how did you come by these?"
"I have more than just these. May I ask how to address you?"
"Jin Shitong, the current Third Elder of the Jin Family."
"Oh, Third Elder. Before I answer your question, I would like to confirm something: is this weapon at my waist truly from your Jin Family?"
Though she spoke of a weapon, Sang Qingxiao was actually giving him a choice about whether to engage in further conflict.
Jin Shitong naturally understood her intent; it wasn't easy to make a judgment call.
"Third Elder," he replied cautiously, "no one is a fool here. It's because your Jin Family's reputation in the Demon Catching Realm is quite good that I'm giving you a chance to choose. If you wish to play the role of a Sparrow Catching Cicadas, I advise you to reconsider."
Jin Shitong's face flushed slightly as he weighed his options and was about to speak.
The old man who had been most vocal earlier saw his companion wavering and jumped in again, "You little thief! Don't try to sweet-talk us! With your skills, if you hadn't stolen from our families, how could you have achieved so much at such a young age?"
"You mention my youth; if we rewind a few years, I was even younger then. How do you think I managed to steal that precious Cultivation Method right under your noses?"
The old man resorted to trickery. "Who knows! That Cultivation Method clearly belongs to our families. Once we capture you and take you back for questioning, everything will become clear."
"I see this as coercion and extortion!"
"Say what you will; it doesn't matter. You can't just walk around flaunting our family's legacy!"
"You claim it's your family's legacy—where's your evidence?"
"The evidence is the Cultivation Method itself! Such a high-level Cultivation Method cannot be taken out casually. Once we take you back, you'll have nothing to say!"
"So you're saying without evidence, you want to take me? If you capture me and take me back, won't everything just be up to your word?"
The others laughed at her words. "Little girl, our families are determined to capture you; there's no point in talking further. You should surrender quickly to avoid unnecessary injuries."
"If you're sensible and return the Cultivation Method, we might consider going easy on you."
"It's rare to see such shamelessness from you all. Let me guess—Wu Family? Zhu Family? Wang Family? Ji Family?"
Every time a family name was mentioned, someone’s expression changed.
She laughed heartily and said, "Which family is so shameless? They really are among the most notorious scoundrels in the Demon Catching Realm."
After her sarcastic remark, she turned to Jin Shitong and lamented, "What a pity for the Jin Family; they have actually sunk to associating with these scoundrels."
