After Xuan Hai finished speaking, there was a momentary silence among the experts of both the righteous and demonic factions. Ye Hanyuan, Ling Douliang, and others were weighing the pros and cons of letting Xuan Hai take Chen Xuan away.
In terms of prestige, the Daoist sects of the Shanhai World held the top position. The Buddhist schools, having spread from the Boundless Buddha Kingdom in the Far West, had only been developing in the Central Plains for about a thousand years; compared to the waning Demon Sect, it was hard to say who truly held more status or power.
This battle, which the entire Shanhai World was watching, had been initiated by the Northern Territory Daoist sects. As the Great Elder of the Zhengang Sect, Ye Hanyuan knew that handing Chen Xuan over to the Buddhists for judgment would be a significant blow to his sect’s reputation. However, keeping Chen Xuan at the Zhengang Sect would be like clutching a hot potato; once the old demons like Ling Douliang recovered, they would undoubtedly return to demand the prisoner. Thus, Ye Hanyuan felt that tossing this hot potato to Chanyin Temple was a reasonable compromise.
