Strictly speaking, Zhou Chuan should compensate each of them with a tier-four sect to resolve this karmic entanglement, but where was he supposed to find sects to give them? He had the ability to seize someone else's sect, but that would inevitably pull him into an even greater web of karma.
Finding no solution, Zhou Chuan simply gave up, lest he accidentally kill them just as he had killed Yang Yan and Huang Pi.
Shi Yue emptying out his entire household startled Zhou Chuan into a realization: unless you communicate, you never know what people actually want. Misunderstandings between people often stem from a lack of communication. Perhaps, rather than a sect, Shen Si and Mao Liang would much rather obtain vitality or cultivation resources. He decided to go back and find them for a proper talk.
