Xiao Zhang's appearance gave those who still felt a shred of guilt an excuse to move against Mo Qi.
They desperately wanted ownership of the Desperate Mountain Range, but it was a fact that Mo Qi had saved their lives.
Morally, they couldn't repay his kindness with malice.
But in their hearts, they desperately hoped to claim the bounty.
And so, many of them hesitated.
When selfishness and greed clashed with shame and morality, they chose to look away, lowering their heads, unable to meet Mo Qi's gaze.
In truth, once selfishness and greed took root in a person's heart, any pretense of shame and morality was nothing but a flimsy fig leaf for self-deception.
Everyone could see that Mo Qi and Xiao Zhang didn't know each other well.
They also knew that Mo Qi was not a follower of the Demon Dao.
But what did that matter?
No one cared about the truth.
