Chapter 754: Scholars Are The Worst!
The fight ended and Immortal Yuan Lu was escorted to the Celestial Northern Prison.
Even as the most famous prison in the land of the nine provinces and four seas, it was rare to hold a prisoner at the eighth realm. Capturing the leader of the West Sea Diabolical Forces at a time when dark influences ran rampant across the land was a resounding victory—one that would surely bolster the people's morale.
The interrogation to follow would not be left solely to the imperial court. The Mount Shu Sect and the sea demons would also take part.
Every powerful cultivator at the eighth realm was like a treasure trove, possessing countless valuable treasures. There was much to be gained from such a cultivator, and the other forces would never allow the imperial court to handle this alone.
As for the Sea Master who had been killed, a joint effort with the sea demons would be made to search for his hidden realm and any treasures he might have left behind. In this case, a dead master of the Heavenly Origin was worth far less than a living one.
Grand Ancestor Wuchao would naturally oversee matters concerning the Ruins of Return Cult. With him present, the South Sea would never fall into chaos.
The one who benefited most from the Sea Master's death, however, was none other than Chu Liang.
A cultivator at the Dao Attainment Realm had managed to kill a master of Heavenly Origin!
It didn't matter who had forced the Sea Master to flee with his primordial spirit. It didn't matter who had driven him into a dead end or how many masters of the Heavenly Origin had stood in his way. The only thing that mattered was the person who had slain him!
If it was merely luck, then why didn't anyone else have such luck?
If Chu Liang had the luck to accomplish this, did that mean his teacher was lucky as well? Both master and disciple had slain opponents of higher cultivation. Both of them had the achievement of killing masters of the Heavenly Origin! How could that be explained?
