Shi Mingcheng's stance was absolutely clear.
Demon-slaying, no problem. Investigating and interrogating demon traitors, no problem.
But the people of Qi Country—Qi must investigate them, Qi must try them.
Before Jiang Wang's complete safety is ensured, there will be no argument whatsoever with Jing Country over anything. Truth, falsehood, evidence or no evidence—nothing will be discussed.
Only one demand: Hand him over!
Even if Jiang Wang is a demon traitor, he will still be publicly tried by Qi Country!
The people of Jing Country claim themselves as the best under heaven, but until a proper fight, who do you think you are!?
By this point in the conversation, even Pei Xinghe, with his famously good temper, found it hard to endure.
