When people were stirring up trouble at a time like this, a show of force was the most direct and effective solution.
If the Immortal Sects had encountered this, they would've likely tripped over themselves to offer explanations and placate the crowd. The Demonic Sects, however, didn't play that game. For them, it was simple: obey or die.
Those who refused to follow orders would get a light beating and be thrown out. The more serious offenders, like the one just now, would be turned to ash with a single slap. And don't even think about reasoning with Demon Cultivators. Trying to guilt-trip them was even more useless.
After witnessing that scene, the people present took a step back, their faces pale. They didn't dare make another peep.
They were just ordinary people. To them, all Cultivators—whether they followed the Immortal or Demonic Paths—were lofty Immortals, beings that mere mortals like them could never afford to provoke.
