Chapter 1316: Duty Bound

Su Chengyu watched as Qiu Tianlin became utterly dumbfounded. He hadn't anticipated that Qiu Tianlin was so certain about his identity. There wasn't even a hint of probing, just a direct affirmation of the fact that he was Su Linyuan's descendant.

"The late Heavenly Son personally established the Heaven Punishment Department, partly to keep Su Linyuan in check. Although Su Linyuan had voluntarily divided his power into the Demon Slayer and Dragon Soul Departments to avoid one faction being overwhelmingly dominant, he inevitably couldn't avoid his identity as the founder of both departments, and thus the Heaven Punishment Department naturally came into existence."

Su Chengyu's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment, and his emotions were somewhat complicated.
