Chapter 63: Seizing the Lead

After subduing Shen Youran, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai planned to transport him to a secure place to hide him.

They had at least two reasons to spare Shen Youran's life: firstly, the conspiracy planned by Shen and Gu over the years surely had many secrets yet to be revealed, making Shen valuable for interrogation; secondly, how to deal with him should be publicly discussed by the Martial Arts community who were deceived by him today, rather than handled privately by Sun and Huang—even though no one would have objected if they had actually killed Shen Youran. However, predicting human nature is challenging, and you cannot ensure that everyone is honorable. If someone later suspected they had extracted valuable information from Shen Youran and killed him to silence him, that would only complicate matters further.
