Mo Qi wasn't going to let Di Zhong off easy, but he didn't want him dead either.
Just as he had said, Di Zhong's life was worthless to him.
On the contrary, if Di Zhong really died in this tavern, then he and the Demon Sect might truly find themselves on opposing sides.
Mo Qi had no desire to make a powerful enemy for no reason.
Besides, he couldn't completely disregard Xiao Zhang. The reason he had separated the *Demon God Grand Ceremony* from Xiao Zhang's body was to make one fact clear to the Demon Sect: just as he had the power to make them whole, he also had the power to take it all away.
'If you're here for a visit, then you should act like it.'
'We'll have a dialogue between equals. I refuse to be looked down upon!'
So, rather than letting Di Zhong prove his integrity through death, it was better to get some tangible compensation.
Like, say, a hundred or so Immortal Artifacts, a thousand or so Immortal Level Spirit Medicines, things like that.
