In the Heavenly Prison on the other side of the light screen, Luo Qianchou had actually caught only the demonic cultivator who had contacted Great Yong's young prince today.
As for the seven demonic cultivators colluding with the other seven, he had identified suspects but did not yet have conclusive proof.
Having witnessed the Southwest's Demonic Calamity from its beginnings to the present, Luo Qianchou might have seemed to act on a whim, but he had always followed one principle.
He would never kill an innocent person by mistake, nor would he let a guilty one go.
The True Intent Cultivators from the Central Region who had previously held the Southwest might have found that impossible. But for Luo Qianchou, who was cultivating anew, it was not beyond reach.
The people of the Southwest had already grown too fragile to withstand another upheaval. Luo Qianchou would act only when he was completely certain.
And through the trap he had laid today, he had successfully led those seven Southwest cultivators to confess their collusion with the Demonic Dao of their own accord.
The cultivators of all three parties on the Liaoyuan Dao Platform, along with the many local Southwest cultivators at the Heavenly Prison, had heard every word with their own ears.
Thus, with just these few moves, Luo Qianchou had given the Southwest's cultivators a shot of courage and a Calming Pill to ease their fears.
At minimal cost, he had established his standing in the Southwest and helped its cultivators regain their resolve to fight the Demonic Calamity, as well as their trust in outsiders.
"Ghouls and goblins belong in the shadows. And things that cannot show their faces cannot be called a true threat."
Luo Qianchou turned toward the vast Southwest, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
