Seeing that the surroundings remained eerily quiet, Hang Qusha continued speaking patiently...
"Indeed, even if we get Yu Xianpo onto Sword Shatter Giant Continent, we still won't be able to blast them to death in a short time."
"But don't force our hand..."
"We're terrified that you'll complete the inheritances of all five sword miracles. So we've decided that if you're not dead within three days, we'll abandon this grand plan for now and focus all our strength on blasting Yu Xianpo and the others to death first."
In other words: even if the Absolute Sword Emperor could not be reborn, they would still gather the power of the sword formation and kill Yu Xianpo first.
The truth, of course, was that they still wanted to force Sikong Jing to reveal himself.
"Come out and talk. We don't want to abandon this plan, and you don't want Yu Xianpo and the others to die either, do you?"
Hang Qusha slowed his voice and continued scanning the surroundings. "There's no need for this to be a fight to the death between us. All Demon-Slaying Hall wants is to complete this plan. It isn't impossible to let you out of Swordwalk Small World."
This time, his meaning was...
As long as Sikong Jing was willing to come out and negotiate, then if the terms allowed it, they could release him and Yu Xianpo's group from Swordwalk Small World—as long as Sikong Jing agreed not to interfere with Demon-Slaying Hall's plan.
For three days, Hang Qusha had been unable to hunt anyone down.
Moreover, three days had passed, and they had no idea when Sikong Jing would complete the inheritances of all five swords. After discussing it, they had decided to speak with Sikong Jing and steady him first.
In the shadows...
