The Worst People Are Scholars

With the battle over, Yuan Luxian was escorted to the Northern Heaven Prison.

Even as the most renowned prison across the Four Seas and Nine Provinces, Northern Heaven Prison did not often hold prisoners of the eighth realm. Capturing the leader of the Western Sea Devil Sect was enough to powerfully bolster public morale in these turbulent times, with evil miasma drifting across the Nine Provinces.

Shushan and the sea clan would both participate in the subsequent interrogation.

Every eighth-realm powerhouse could be called a treasure trove, with an immense amount to be unearthed from them. They certainly could not be handed over to the imperial court alone.

As for the Sea Master who had been slain, people would work with the sea clan to search for his secret realm, treasures, and the like. In this regard, a dead Heavenly Origin powerhouse was nowhere near as valuable as a living one.

Patriarch Wuchao would naturally handle the affairs of the Divine Church of Returning Ruins. With the old patriarch there, the South Sea could not possibly overturn the heavens.

Naturally, Chu Liang benefited the most from the Sea Master's death, beginning with his reputation.

An Ascendant Inquiry had slain a Heavenly Origin!

Don't ask who had first beaten the Sea Master's Primordial Spirit into fleeing. Don't ask who had first forced him onto the road to death. Don't ask how many Heavenly Origin cultivators had been there to block him.

Just say who killed him!

If you called it luck, then why did no one else have that luck?

Only Chu Liang himself could be lucky? Then even his master could be lucky too? Master and disciple alike had achieved the feat of crossing realms to slay Heavenly Origin cultivators—how could that be explained?

This was genuine, undeniable strength!
